  Kyungsoo tended to keep things to himself. Jongin changed all that.

Kyungsoo tended to keep things to himself.


Simply because he thought no one would listen if he said something.


Sometimes it bothered him too much that he wished he was able to say something—anything, but he couldn't. He just didn't want to start a fight...he had always hated arguments. His parents used to argue all the time with raised tones and Kyungsoo would lock himself in his room, pressing his hands against his ears, wishing that they would just stop. He tried talking when they had a scary argument once, but it didn't end well. His father slapped him hard and his mother scolded him that it wasn't his problem.


Kyungsoo learned that everything would be alright if he said nothing.


That reason was probably why the male stayed quiet, no matter how difficult it was.


So when Chanyeol started to change on the third month of their relationship, he couldn't bring himself to ask.


Was it something he did? Was it something he said?


They weren't exactly the loud or cheerful couple, but it didn't mean that they were unhappy. Despite his goofy personality, Chanyeol was surprisingly mature and he treated Kyungsoo well. They didn't communicate much, but at least they talked and for him, it was enough.


There were times when Kyungsoo wanted to ask. The question was already there on the tip of his tongue, but it never got out. Whenever Chanyeol turned to him with his brows raised high, Kyungsoo's resolve wavered and he would crawl back into his cave and hide in his comfort zone, swallowing everything back. It was probably because...


Maybe he didn't want to lose Chanyeol.


Or Chanyeol's friends.


Because he certainly wouldn't have any if it wasn't for his relationship with the older male.


They didn't talk much, but it was never a problem. But lately, it had become a problem for Kyungsoo because he had no idea what was in Chanyeol's mind. If it was just silence between them, now it was suffocating silence. It had been going on for more than a week that Kyungsoo didn't know what to do. It was obvious that something was off and yet, both of them still pretended like everything was alright.


Maybe it was just his imagination. Nothing was wrong between them. They were alright.


Then why did Kyungsoo feel like crying the minute he stepped in to the place?


The doe eyed male almost couldn't hide his broken mask when he walked into the club. The smell of liquor and booze were filling the air and they nauseated Kyungsoo. He brought a hand to his face as he scanned around the crowded place to find a glimpse of anyone he knew. Kyungsoo caught the sight of Junmyeon waving a hand at him from their table and he breathed in relief. Without thinking, he shuffled forward through the sea of people to reach the fair skinned male.
