a familiar voice shouted from upstairs, "kwon soonyoung! where the hell are you?!"
although it wasn't that close to where they were standing, it wasn't that far for them to ignore it either.
oh, god, he won't just kicked the bucket and die that easily, huh? even after all i did. he thought to himself.
soonyoung then looked at both jeonghan and wonwoo, as if asking to have some time alone with jihoon, which the two immediately get.
jeonghan and wonwoo nodded while moving a little just enough to give them some privacy.
"listen hoon, i desperately want to leave with you, but—"
"then let's go out together! please, we can leave that guy alone," jihoon interrupted the blonde.
he knew he sounded pretty desperate, but he could not really bring himself to care about that now; as long as he could stay with the blonde, there was absolutely nothing he wouldn't do.
soonyoung, on the other hand, shook his head no.
"listen, jihoon, i'm really sorry. you know i really want to tell you several things," the blonde began.
"i wanted to spend more time with you too, and i know that you've always wanted to ask me a lot of questions, even from when we first met—"
"—i'm sorry if i won't be able to answer them all," the blonde continued.
jihoon stubbornly shook his head.
he didn't like this farewell.
and he had no idea why he was acting this ways since he's never been this kind of person.
soonyoung gently leaned his forehead against the latter, as he forces a small yet genuine smile."i know that you're confused with everything at the moment,"
"and i guess you haven't realized things yet, but i know you'll eventually found the answers to your questions," soonyoung whispered softly.
his hands were trembling; he had never imagined in his life that he would feel this way one day.
he had always been the confident and fearless type of guy, and being anxious and scared were not emotions that the blonde had previously encountered.
in reality, this is his first experience having these feelings.
he was tense.
not because he might not make it out safely, but because the younger might be caught up in the explosion if he continues to stubbornly refuse to leave the blonde behind.
he's terrified.
not because he was afraid he could possibly die in the explosion or at the hands of jiwon, but because he feared he would never see the doctor again.
"i wish we could have more time to be with each other than this," he whispered regretfully to himself for the last time.
jihoon extended a shaking hand to him, placing his own palms above the latter's, cupping his cheeks.
"i hated that fact that i met you in the therapy room inside this asylum," the blonde trailed off.
"i should have met you somewhere else," the blonde said as an unusual warm liquid fell from his eyes.
he's crying.
he shed tears.
for the first time, he shed tears.
"kwon! i'm going to kill you as soon as we cross paths!" yelled a familiar voice.
it's still emanating from above, but it's getting very close, and he appears to be moving close to the staircase.
soonyoung used force to disentangle their entwined hands.
is this a sign of surrender? is he really going to let me go right now? jihoon had no idea.
soonyoung could tell the person was walking down the stairs when they heard a shot fired nearby.
"fuck, wonwoo, get him out of here! now!" the blonde ordered, turning his back on the three.
he resolves to return to the asylum and kill jiwon, even if it means dying with him when the asylum blows up.
the lavender-haired doctor shook his head, unwilling to do what soonyoung had requested.
he held out his hand to the blonde.
"no! don't go back there! let's get out of here! you promise me we'll get out of here together!"
with no other option, the black-haired wonwoo grabbed the latter's wrist and dragged him off, despite his inability to stomach hearing jihoon's scream.
he understands how it felt.
that's why he didn't look back and continued to gaze forward.
sorry. that's all the black-haired doctor could think of right now.
"jihoon! let's get the fuck out of here and let the police handle this," exclaimed jeonghan, who is currently helping wonwoo in dragging the younger, out of the institution.
soonyoung turned to face them for the last time, a genuine smile on his face, mouthing him a very familiar nickname that no one else uses.
uji.
thank you for the memories; you may not realize it, but we've met hundreds of times before you met me in this hell. the blonde thought to himself.
jihoon couldn't blink as memories from his past flooded back into his thoughts today.
that explains why the blonde's eyes, noise, lips, face, and everything else look so familiar.
and god was he a fool not to realize until now that the hoshi he met as a child and the hoshi who happened to be his patient in the asylum are the same person.
"n-no, leave me here," the doctor pleaded his friends."i already found the boy from my past, i found him, it's soonyoung!" shouted the doctor.
"jihoon, please stop now," wonwoo begged, fighting back tears.
jeonghan couldn't say anything because he was so sorry for the latter, when all of a sudden, a tremendous explosion disrupted the entire scene.
nobody knew what had happened inside the asylum, but the place was filled with thick smoke and loud noises.
police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks.
who would have guessed that the five of them would be trapped in the cloud of gas and dust together with the others who have not yet made it outside and are still inside the asylum?
no one did.
