사랑 참 어렵다 (Love is hard)

Chapter Forty-Three

Kai's POV

"How am I supposed to sleep?" Heesoo asked quietly asked as we walked back to my dorm room.

"I dont know jagi," I murmured. My heart was breaking for Heesoo. I could tell it was taking everything she had to keep it together and to not completely fall apart. We stepped into the dorm, causing everyone to look our way.

"Oh," Sehun frowned, "It's just you two."

"I can't even be offended by that," Heesoo smiled wryly, "I wouldn't want to see us either."

I pulled Heesoo over to the couch and pulled her onto my lap. She cuddled close to me and sighed heavily. I tightened one arm around her, and started running my fingers through her hair. Hopefully this will relax her. The door opened again and we all looked up to see Kris and Rap Monster coming in.

"Anything?" Heesoo asked, shooting out of my lap into a standing position.

"No," Kris shook his head sadly, "Namjoon told her grandparents though. They said they will handle it and to come back here."

"Oppa," Heesoo said softly, walking over to Kris and pulling him into her arms, "It's going to be ok," She whispered as she stroked his hair. Kris wrapped his arms around her tightly and he buried his face in Heesoo's neck. His shoulders began to shake and I watched as Heesoo tightened her arms around him, continuing to whisper calming phrases to him. If this was any other time, I would be incredibly jealous. But not this time. Kris needs her right now. And Heesoo's heart is way too big to ever ignore that.

"So, what are we supposed to do?" Suho asked.

"All we can do is wait," Rap Monster replied. He plopped down on the couch and everyone followed suit. Heesoo pulled Kris over to sit, Kris on one side me on the other. Heesoo slid a small hand into mine and looked up at me. When our eyes met she gave me a soft kiss.

"I love you," Heesoo whispered.

"I love you more," I replied. Heesoo rolled her eyes before giving me another kiss. She laid her head against my shoulder and I could feel the tension in her body. She wasn't going to relax until Dohee came home. I hope it's soon. I don't think I can handle seeing Heesoo like this much longer And, obviously I care about Dohee too and want her to be safe. Please let her be safe.

*The next day*

Heesoo's POV

I woke up in a tangle of limbs and I honestly don't know what belonged to who. I carefully extricated myself from Kai and Kris' arms and legs and made my way to the kitchen. I was zero percent hungry, but the boys should still eat. I had just finished making breakfast when I heard people stirring and waking up. They made their way to the food and immediately started eating.

"You need to eat babe," Kai said to me.

"I'm not hungry," I replied.

"Ba-"

"Oppa, I'm not hungry," I snapped. Kai nodded shortly before moving away from me. I huffed out a sigh of annoyance. I can't sit here anymore. I need to get out.

"Where are you going?" Kai asked as I walked towards the door.

"For a walk," I replied, not turning around, "I can't breathe in here."

"Not alone you're not," Kai replied quickly, sounding annoyed.

"Yes mother," I rolled my eyes, finally turning, "Which one of you would like to come? And Jongin oppa, you're not invited."

"I'll come," Chen stood up. He patted Kais shoulder before following me out the door, "Heesooah."

"Jongdae oppa, I don't wanna hear it," I interrupted.

"Heesooah," Chen reprimanded, grabbing my arm and pulling me to a stop, "Knock it off. I get that you're frustrated, but do not take it out on us."

"Oppa...I..." I started.

"I know Heesooah," Chen pulled me into a tight hug, "I know."

After a long walk around campus, Chen and I headed back to the dorm. As soon as we walked in I headed straight over to where Kai was standing and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, "I'm the worst."

"No, you're not," Kai replied, pulling me closer against him and kissing the top of my head softly, "We're all stressed. It's okay."

"It's really not, but thank you," I smiled.

"Ok, lovebirds," Chanyeol said, "We can't just sit here and mope around. Let's play a game or watch a movie."

"Sounds good," Kai shrugged, pulling me over to the couch. We proceeded to spend the night playing games and watching movies. Eventually everyone fell asleep, well, everyone except for Kris and me.

"I need her to come home," Kris sighed, his head in my lap.

"She will oppa," I replied quietly, running my fingers through his hair, "I know she will."

We sat like that until the sun came up, occasionally talking but mostly sitting in silence.

*That evening*

"Joonbug, have you heard anything?" I crawled up next to Rap Monster on his bed.

"Nope, not a thing," He sighed, "I'm sure well hear something soon."

"I hope so," I murmured.

"How's Kris?" Rap Monster sat up.

"Not good. I think he just went for a walk," I told him. I climbed off Rap Monsters bed and held my hand out to him. I pulled him up and we walked out to the living room where everyone else was gathered. I had just taken my seat next to Kai when there was a knock at the door.

"COOOOMMMIIINNNGGG," Sehun yelled, "Hello, how can I hel-"

Sehun was cut off as a figure pushed past him. The room went silent as everyone recognized who it was. Dohee ran at me and jumped on me and hugging me tightly, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

I was in shock. It took me forever to realize this was Dohee and that this was real. When I finally did I wrapped her in a tight hug and sobbed into her shoulder. Dohee stroked my hair and spoke again, "I'm sorry," She pulled away and wiped tears from my face, "Sorry it took me this long to come back."

"Dohee you idiot," Rap Monster hit Dohee in the head with a cushion.

"NAMJOON!" Dohee jumped on Rap Monster, "you can just say you missed me too!"

Rap Monster chuckled with the rest of us before flicking Dohee in the head and speaking, "Don't do that again."

"Welcome back, we're glad you're safe," Everyone cheered out. Dohee looked around the room, obviously looking for Kris.

"He took a walk before you got here. He's been such a baby," Sehun draped an arm around Dohees shoulders. He then flicked her forehead and poked her nose, "Don't scare us like that again."

Dohee chuckled and nodded as she stood up. I pulled at her skirt, "Where are you going?"

"I need to find Kris," Dohee smiled, patting my head, "Don't worry, I'll bring us both back."

Kai's POV

"I can't believe she's back," Heesoo breathed a sigh of relief and for the first time in two days, I felt her entire body relax next to me. She laid her head on my shoulder and took one my hands in hers, playing with my fingers, "I'm so happy."

"Me too," I kissed the top of her head. Dohee is back, Hesoo is happy, everyone is happy. And everything is right again.

"We need to celebrate," Luhan suggested, "Let's order a bunch of food and have a party. I'm sure everyone could use some good food and some fun."
