Insanity

The Truth Comes Out...

Tears are flowing down Woohyun's cheeks... he turns and sees his phone shattered on the ground. His heart breaks into several pieces after hearing how Sunggyu talks about the love of his life... and now.. Woohyun decided enough is enough. He has fought long and hard to make Myungsoo his.. and now he will not let anyone take that away from him.

Woohyun couldn't focus on what Sunggyu was saying.. his words were just mumbles. Woohyun's clenches his fists.. and his nails cut his palms with the force... his hair fell in front of his eyes as he lowered his head.. and his heart rate was rapidly increasing... 'STOP!' Woohyun sunmoned from his lower stomach. The sound of silence appeared once again. Sunggyu sat motionless; a look of shock displayed on his face. Woohyun slowly moves his head up to glare at Sunggyu. 'stop... right... there'. The tone in Woohyun's voice was deep, dark... and emotionless. His breathing has increased and he was sweating more than ever.

'How could you... say that about your own son?' Woohyun began. His shaking increased and his feet began to tap frantically.

'Your own flesh and blood? All he wants is some love. That's all he's ever wanted. Losing his mum was the hardest thing in his life. And where were you? Getting drunk? Gambling? Oh right... BOTH. You don't deserve to call yourself a father. When you weren't there for your son during the hardest time of his life. Myungsoo is beautiful, kind, and gentle. And I love him... with all my heart...'

'Did you know he was in a car accident?' Woohyun shouts. Sunggyu pauses, a look of horror painted across his face.. with a hint of worry. 'What do you mean a car accident...?' He asked. 'He was hit by a drunk driver saving me!' Woohyun breaks down speaking about the accident which hurt his love again. 'And I am so thankful to him. It should've been ME. ME. WHY DID HE SAVE ME? He has a heart of GOLD. He is SELFLESS. And that's another reason i LOVE HIM. I LOVE YOUR SON, SUNGGYU!'

Woohyun pauses for a moment as regains his breath. Talking about the accident brings back the bad memories and emotions... but he remembered he has to stay strong for Myungsoo's sake. Before Sunggyu could speak, Woohyun continues.

'Myungsoo is delicate. He has been through hard times. We all have... Sometimes the best thing we need during a bad time.. is someone to talk to. And I wish he had that at the time. But i'm there now. And that's all that matters. I will be there for him more then you ever were. I will love him forever... and he is my rock... he is the most amazing man.. and i'm happy and proud to call him mine. So go ahead, fire me, judge me, do whatever you have to do... but whatever challenges you or anyone else throws our way... we will overcome them.. because our love for each other.. is INFINITE.'

Woohyun now has a beaming smile across his face. He has stopped shaking and he feels calmer and more relaxed now that everything is out there. Sunggyu is speechless. He slouches back in the chair,  and is silent. He thinks for a minute and then asks Woohyun one final question.. 'Why did you agree to this assignment in the first place?' He is curious for Woohyun's answer, and he was about to get an answer he didn't expect.

'There is two reasons.' Woohyun begins. He crosses his legs, and leans back in his chair once more. 'Number 1: I needed the MONEY.' Woohyun stands up to leave. He picks up his smashed phone, and heads towards the door; still shaking from what has just happened. 'And Number 2...' he says as he opens the door. Before he can finish his reason.. he notices the tuna sushi on the floor, along with the note... Only one person knew his favourite food was Tuna Sushi... and only one person has that perfect handwriting... Myungsoo.

Myungsoo had been there... He realised Myungsoo had most likely heard everything... Woohyun kneels down to the floor, clenching the note in his chest. Tears pour down his face... his voice is quivering with heartbreak, and he feels disgusted and sick about Myungsoo finding out this way... Sunggyu interrupts the moment. 'Number 2...?' He began, pushing Woohyun for his reasoning.

Woohyun collects himself for a single minute. Still kneeling down... he can't bear to look at Sunggyu after hurting Myungsoo like that. He can't bear to look at himself... He sniffs the flowers and keys out a regretful sigh. 'I didn't know a guy as perfect as Myungsoo existed...' With that.. he stands up slowly, packing the lunch and flowers back up... slowly turns to Sunggyu, his eyes red and swollen from the tears, and manages to string one final sentence together...

'I quit.'

Woohyun quickly sprints down the hallway, and makes his way home to console Myungsoo.

Sunggyu is left speechless. For the first time, he feels remorse and regret. He feels powerless. He had never understood his son properly... and this is something he wished he could change.. Thinkjng about what Woohyun said about him... he realised that he was right... He did need to be there for him more... and he wasn't a good father... His eyes became red and inflamed.. and he broke down into his arms resting on the table... feeling heartbroken for the first time... wondering how he could make his own son feel this way...

The office is a mess... just like Sunggyu's heart... and Sunggyu realised for the first time... how much he'd hurt Myungsoo.. after all these years.. and he was disgusted with himself. And he decided it was time to change...
