Hello or Goodbye / Hyunjin - Straykids ( 스트레이 키즈 )

Eight - Sorry

Hyunjin's house,

The living room,

"Ding dong!" Someone rang the bell.

Hyunjin was still inside the house, hurling everything out from his luggage. He was turning mad as his mother forced him to follow her the day before. She even cancelled the flight because Hyunjin refused to tag along.

"Hwang Hyunjin! Until when are you going to be like this?!" His mother yelled.

"I told you! I don't want to go!"

"Ding dong!" The bell rang again.

"Wae?! Because you don't want to leave Hyuna?! I am your mother for god sakes."

"Eomma,"

Outside,

"Is he not inside?" Hyuna asked herself in mind, contemplating whether to go or wait for him.

Hyuna turned her heels, had made a decision to leave. Even if Hyunjin was inside, she thought maybe he needed some time for himself.

"Hyuna," he eventually opened the gate, running towards her.

"Hyunjin aa, are you okay?" Hyuna turned around and Hyunjin pulled her into a hug so suddenly.

"I am sorry," he said.

"Why are you saying sorry?" Hyuna patted his back.
"You are making me anxious."

"I-"
"Let's go somewhere away from here." Hyunjin broke the hug and looked at Hyuna in the eyes.

He was making her uneasy, as if Hyunjin could fly away and leave her to somewhere. After all, he was usually the unpredictable one.

Neighbourhood cafe,

Bangchan served them since he worked as a part timer for his aunty. That boy originally dissed the idea of spending his holiday before University on work but the aunty needed his help.

"What's up with you two?" Bangchan asked, putting down two cups of milk tea on the table.

"We are doing good!" Hyuna replied with a smile.

"Hyung, it is so hard to hang with you lately." Hyunjin took a sip of his milk tea.

"Ahh, I want to quit this job so much but she kept insisting. I don't even have time to meet Chaeyoung." Bangchan pulled a chair and joined them at the table.
"Is she doing fine in school?"

"Chaeyoungie?" Hyunjin thought about it.
"Maybe? What do you think Hyuna."

"Chaeyoung is so lonely these days, she would mention you from time to time." Hyuna truthfully stated.

"Really? Awe poor my Youngie," Bangchan pouted.
"This is bad, I need to quit the night shift. Our schedule clashes therefore it is hard to meet each other."

"Chan aa! Table twelve!" The aunty called him and Chan got up from the chair.

"Nae!"
"Catch up with you all soon!" Bangchan said, walking away.

The Hyuns looked at each other and it was once again silence. Hyunjin tapped his index finger on the cup, staring blankly at the tea inside.
