☙ Abandoned Feelings ☙

- Everything that takes place in this chapter is completely fictional. 

The last thing Chaehyun was expecting to wake up to at 3:29 AM was a phone call from Twice's Jihyo, practically breaking half of the stuff on the nightstand. Mark mumbled a few curse words as he rolled over and stuffed his face into his pillow whilst Chaehyun rolled onto the floor with the phone in his hands. Grunting, he slid the bar aside and lifted himself up and rushed towards the bathroom, so he was far away enough from Mark. 

"Hello?" He mumbled tiredly. 

"Chaehyun, thank God." Jihyo breathed out in relief prompting Chaehyun to furrow his eyes in confusion. 

"Uh--"

"Look I know this is random and I am super sorry for interrupting your sleep, I know we're in different timezones and all but uh--Daehyun...she uh--she's in hospital and she hasn't stopped crying for you since she got there and we've tried to tell her that you're on tour, but she needs you right now. Could you maybe give her a call? I know it's a lot to ask considering everything that's happened but I think it would really help her out. She's in a bad place right now." 

Chaehyun's chest tightened with worry. "No, no it's okay honestly. I'm glad you told me. I'll definitely give her a call. What happened though? Why is she in the hospital?" He bit his lip, deeply concerned for his ex-girlfriend's health. He was also confused to why she was crying for him since they hadn't really spoken since the whole kidnapping incident. 

Jihyo sighed. 

"She's been--I don't think it's my place to tell you. Maybe ask her when you give her a call. I just, I don't wanna tell you something she may not be comfortable with you knowing just yet..." 

Now that worried him even more. Did it have something to do with him? Chaehyun cleared his throat and nodded his head, before realizing she couldn't see him. 

"Okay. I'll give her a call. Thanks for telling me. Could you--maybe keep me updated on how she's doing? I don't wanna ask her in case she doesn't want anything to do with me after this call, but I would like to know how she is." 

He couldn't see, but Jihyo smiled at his thoughtfulness. "I can do that, yes. But Chaehyun, please make sure you inform Yeri about this. It will mean a lot to Dahyun if you give her a call, but if I was your girlfriend and you went and called your ex, I would like to be informed. They'll both be appreciative of that. Anyway, I have to go. Thank you so much, Chae. Bye." 

"Uh yeah, bye." 

The line went dead and Chaehyun brought the phone down from his ear and stared at it. What the actual fuck was going on? A long sigh slid from his lips as he pressed onto Yeri's contact. It took a few rings before her cheerful voice met his ears. And just by the sound of her voice, a dumb smile played out on his lips causing him to mentally scold himself for letting her have that effect on him. 

"Hey Yeri...uh--I just got a call from Jihyo, you know from Twice and---basically, Dahyun is in the hospital and she asked if i could give her a call...is that alright with you?" Chaehyun decided it was best to leave out the fact that Dahyun had been 'crying for him', he knew that wouldn't make her feel any better about the situation. 

The line fell silent. Chaehyun felt the guilt tug at his heartstrings. 

A long sigh sounded from the other line. "Yeah sure...is she okay?" 

A breath of relief fell from Chaehyun's lips, but he hoped that Yeri hadn't heard it. She did, but she decided to just keep it to herself. She knew how much Dahyun meant to Chaehyun and didn't want to keep him from making sure that she was okay. As much as it hurt, Yeri was aware that if he didn't call her then he would be up all night worrying because that's just who he is. No matter who it is, he will always worry. 

"I have no idea. I'm about to call--you are alright with that, aren't you? 'Cause bro, if you're not then I won't." 

Yeri smiled. "Go for it bro, just as long as you remember who you belong to." 

"How could I ever forget Lucas?" Yeri rolled her eyes playfully as Chaehyun's familiar laugher cackled into the phone. She grinned, it had been so long since she heard him laugh. "Anyway, I have to go. I love you fam." 

"I love you too, dude." 

The two ended the call with smiles plastered on their faces. Chaehyun took a deep breath as he scrolled up to find Dahyun's contact. Reluctantly, he pressed on it. The nostalgia hit him immediately, as he thought back to all the times he used to do this before she went to bed. He bit his lip, shaking the thoughts out of his brain he couldn't stop the small smile that curled up on the corners of his lips when she picked up. 

"Chaehyun?" Her voice was hoarse and it was evident that she had been crying. 

"Yeah, it's me." 

"Chae-" Her voice cracked, just hearing his voice sent shivers down her spine and her heart began to ache for the third time that day. Chaehyun felt terrible upon hearing her cry, he had no idea what he'd done or even if he had done anything, but he still felt terrible. "Chaehyun, I--"

"Dahyun why are you in the hospital?"

She didn't reply. 

"Dahyun..." he started slowly. 

"I collapsed on stage, it's no big deal." 

Chaehyun ran a hand over his face as he sighed. "It is a big deal Dahyun, you know it is. Have you been overworking yourself again?" His tone was soft, but she knew he was worrying. He always worried. 

"I'm sorry..." 

"Dahyun, is it your company? Have they been pushing you too--" 

"No. Chaehyun, you wanna know what it is? It's because I've spent months trying to forget you but how can I do that when your name and face is everywhere I look? I can't fucking get over you Chaehyun but you seemed to be just fine. So why the hell should I be sat here, breaking up with every guy I try to date 'cause they aren't you? Why do I still have the pictures of us in my bedroom? Why do I still wear your hoodie every night? Why the hell can't I bring myself to just forget you?!" 

Chaehyun was stunned, to say the least. 

In all honesty, Dahyun's feelings had never crossed his mind. He always thought she'd gotten over him since the last time he spoke to her she was in a relationship. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a sigh, the tension began to rise as her soft whimpers sounded through the phone. 

"I still love you Chaehyun..."

Well shit...
