Promise. [Woosan] // [Ateez]

Five

After the boys finally grabbed together all their stuff, they headed out to the practise room, San feeling anxious.

"Sani... is everything alright?" Seonghwa dropped back from the others to join San.

"I'm fine"

Seonghwa was 100% convinced that he was most certainly not at all, but he just dropped it, San probably wouldn't tell him anyways if he were to ask.

"Ok then" he replied with as they continued walking.

They all reached the practise room as San's anxiety grew, he didn't know what to expect from Wooyoung at all, or how he would react to him.

They all walked through the doors as San followed them into the main practise room, hoping that Wooyoung would be there but he was nowhere to be seen. So, he decided to check every other room since he couldn't stand the feeling of him being alone anymore.

There were only two main practise rooms then the other 4 were vocal rooms, so it would take him a while to find the boy.

So he started at the vocal rooms first still no clue of Wooyoung anywhere until he finally reached the last room.

It was a big spacious room, I mean after all they used to practise more in it but still it was a similar size to the one they usually practise in.

San pocked his head through the window hoping to see any trace of Wooyoung, and there he found the small boy sitting in the corner of the room with his phone.

Straight away he opened the door making his way towards the younger.

Wooyoung was sitting in the furthest corner of the room up against cupboards and the sound system.

When San finally got close enough he had realised that Wooyoung was talking on the phone, and when he got even closer he noticed tears, which instantly made his heart sink into his stomach.

Wooyoung looked up controlling his sobs as he wiped tears with the sleave of his jumper.

"Ahh- okay...Eomma...I- I- have t-to go....now" he hiccupped as he took the phone off of his ear ending the call while his body shook from sobs.

"Woo-"

San stood above him as Wooyoung tried to calm down.

"Baby-" San was cut off.

"Why did you come here" Wooyoung yelled through sobs.

"wh- what do you mean?" San furrowed his eyebrows confused

"Why can't you just leave me alone" Wooyoung's crying became harder as he shut his eyes tightly.

"I love you Woo, why would I leave you alone?" San felt hurt by his sudden words.

"Well I don't want to see you, and I don't want you here" He yelled back.

San bent down into a squat as he tried to keep himself from yelling or feeling any irrelevant emotion that might add to Wooyoung's fire.

"C'mon at least stand-up" He gently said reaching for Wooyoung's arms.

Wooyoung pulled away violently.

"No I don't want to" he sobbed

San sighed running his hands through his hair, he could feel tears start to form in his eyes but no he couldn't cry right now, he needed to be strong.

He stood up not knowing what to say as he hadn't had thought about this before.

Wooyoung then got up as he looked around running his fingers through his hair as he openly sobbed.

The only thing that was going through San's mind right now was to hug him, that's all, but he didn't know if that was even the right choice right now, but he went for it anyways.

Pulling the confused boy into a hug Wooyoung didn't pull away he just rested his head on San's shoulder and sobbed even harder than before.

"H-h-h..he's..g-gone" Wooyoung muffled out.

San didn't know who he was talking about, but he didn't need to question right now Wooyoung just needed to be caressed.

"It's okay baby, I'm here" San softly said rubbing circles on the others back.

Wooyoung stopped crying for a second as he pulled away looking at San dead in the eyes, which really tore at San's heart.

His face was exactly as he had imagined it, red, eyes puffy with tear streaks rolling down his cheeks, his usual smile now gone, hair messed up, it was all too much for him.

"Sani I don't want to do this" He said in the softest voice causing San to try even harder to hide his tears.

"Woo it's okay, I'll be here with you...we can do this together, okay? San pulled Wooyoung back into his chest causing him to cry even harder.

"No Sani, I don't want you to see me like this" he muffled.

"It's completely normal to cry Woo, we all do it, you don't need to feel the need to hide anything, okay?"

Wooyoung nodded a little, as San tightened his grip around him.

"I love you Woo okay?"

"I love you more" 

sorry for the sad chapter.
