Promise. [Woosan] // [Ateez]

Eleven

"Eomma...I don't wanna stay here-please pick me up..... I-I miss you" Wooyoung cried through sniffs as he clenched his phone towards his ear.

Wooyoung was crawled up in a bawl as he sat in the bathroom corner up between the toilet and door, his hoodie covering his head as he cried into his phone.

"Baby I cant come, you have to just stay there with your friends ok, you can't give up just now." His mums soft voice ran through his ears comforting him.

But Wooyoung didn't say anything, he just continued sobbing and he listened to his mother.

"Listen baby-" She took a deep breath.

"I know you miss your father... I miss him more than anything- but Woo you can't let events like this effect what you love." She said with a shaky voice and Wooyoung just nodded, shutting his eyes close tight.

"Your passion is here, you love to dance do you baby?"

Wooyoung nodded as a small "yes" came from his trembling lips.

"And singing, don't you think your father would be so proud of where you are today? What you've accomplished?" Wooyoung nodded again.

"Yes" He let out as a shaky breath followed.

"I know you must be going through hard times right now, but you just need to push through it ok, think about all the happy memories, work hard, laugh a little, cry if you need to, talk to your hyungs. There you family too, they'll help guide you through your troubles" she said as he continued to nod.

"and remember Wooyoungie I-"

"Wooyoung!! Wooyoung! Hey- where are you???!!!" San's voice was heard from the corridor as he heard it getting louder and louder, along with heave footsteaps.

"I love you baby ok?" Wooyoung quickly jumped as he started to panic.

"I love you to Eomma, I have to go now- love you" He quickly hung up as he got up accidently banging his head on the toilet paper.

"ahhh" he whines ah he rubbed his head proceeding to wipe his eyes with the back of him hoodie.

"Wooyoung??!!"

San opened the door as he turned around to find a red faced, puffy eyed Wooyoung standing before him. Wooyoung stood still as he forced a smile upon his face, hoping that San would fall for it.

"Ahhh Wooyoung, you've been gone for 10 minutes, c'mon we've all been waiting for you" He sighed grabbing Wooyoung's shoulder as he pulled him only to realise that Wooyoung stood completely still.

"C'mon we have to go" he yanked at his hoodie but Wooyoung didn't move, he didn't want to go back in there, well at least not looking like this.

"I don't want to" he softly spoke, being so quiet that he had to think if had he had actually said anything.

San turned back at him.

"What do you mean you don't want to? Wooyoung we don't have a choice" He stood there waiting for a response.

Wooyoung swallowed hard.

"I want to go home"

San was suddenly taken aback by Wooyoung's word as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"A beg your pardon. What do you mean 'you want to go home?"

"I don't want to stay here any longer; ok I just want to go back to the dorms" He mumbled.

"Wooyoung what's up with you, what's wrong?"

Wooyoung took a deep breath as tears started to fill his eyes once again. He looked up towards San hopefully getting the memo that he's just tired and wants to go back to the dorms.

San's heart hurt as he saw the tears in his eyes as immediately it was his instinct to pull him into a hug, but not right now, he needed to talk first.

"Ok... you know what, I'll go tell Hongjoong and grab your stuff while you go wait at the door, then I'll walk you back to the dorms. How does that sound?" San raised his eyebrow.

No matter how tough he had to be on Wooyoung, he always had a soft spot for the boy and right now he could tell that he was exhausted, and he knew that if he were to push Wooyoung even more, it would push him off the edge.

San waited for a reply but instead Wooyoung feel into his arms as San quickly wrapped him arms around the other, as he held the younger tight, resting his head on top of his.

"Thank you" Wooyoung softly whispered as they hugged for a little longer until San had let go to go let Hongjoong know about the sudden issue.

Wooyoung was left in the bathroom for 5 minutes as he just stood there starring at his reflection, his puffy eyes had calmed down now and his eye bags were clearly visible, his messy blonde hair was now even more of a mess and he shoved his phone in his hoodie pocket.

Eventually he left the room as he did exactly what San told him to do, 'wait near the door'. So, he stood there for another couple more minutes until he saw San make his way down the corridor with his grey duffel bag. He opened the door as Wooyoung followed him out, San throwing the bag over his shoulder as they walked in silence.

10 minutes later they had reached the dorms, either of them saying anything as they both went in San dropping the bag into the couch as Wooyoung went straight for his room.

Wooyoung fell onto his bed as he closed his eyes, listening to San's footsteps in the other room.

"Hey, you know your gonna have to tell me what's bothering you so much?" San sat on the edge of the bed as he handed Wooyoung a glass of water.

Wooyoung sat up as he sipped at the glass.

"It doesn't matter" He said putting the glass down on the bedside table.

"Well clearly it does if it made up upset" San said moving closer towards him.

"I'm fine ok, just a bit tired" Wooyoung blurted out.

"Are you sure it's just that? Not anything else?"

Wooyoung nodded as he laid back down, San then grabbing a blanket and pulling it over the younger.

He quickly headed out of the room as Wooyoung wondered if he was leaving or not. But then quickly returning with Shiber.

"Here, take Shiber he'll keep you company" San handed the plush over to Wooyoung as he tucked it besides him.

San smiled at Wooyoung as he closed his eyes starting to drift off into a nap.

San leaned over brushing some of his hair away from his forehead as he kissed his forehead whispering, "I love you Woo". He then got up and shut the curtains as he closed the door slightly.

"I love you too Sani" Wooyoung whispered back
