if without you || seongjoong

drowned us in the darkness

seonghwa took his coat and wore a mask to cover his face, almost forgot to turn off the stove.

his ramyeon looked really swollen and pathetic, just like him now.

it's pathetic; him hiding away from his rights to love anyone.

it's pathetic; him loving his fans that blocked him away from his freedom.

it's pathetic; him needed to go to eden's place, rather than hongjoong's.

he threw away the ramyeon and closed his apartment, feet run through the hallway.

he met his neighbors, yunho and mingi, at the elevator.

it seemed like they just got back from shopping, seonghwa assumed as he saw groceries bag clinging on mingi's fingers.

"hyung, where are you going?" yunho held his hand, concerned.

yunho must've known.

"i need to fix this shit, my agency is calling me," seonghwa tried to let go, but yunho held him tighter.

"it was hell down there. people are waiting for you. are you sure?" yunho asked.

but seonghwa needed to talk to eden and explain everything.

but seonghwa needed to see his boyfriend.

but seonghwa nee-

"i know a secret exit, it takes us to the dump alley. you can escape from there, i'll take you to your agency," yunho suggested after he saw seonghwa's face was plastered with confusion and stress.

seonghwa nodded his head firmly, as yunho kissed mingi on his cheek, saying goodbye to mingi, and said that mingi could order pizza without waiting for yunho.

seonghwa wished that he could do that too with hongjoong everytime.

they went to the ground floor, seonghwa exited from the security's backdoor that lead him to the alley yunho talked earlier.

they could easily went to the parking lot on the underground, but seonghwa could be seen from the car, as the exit now was surrounded by people.

yunho arrived at the end of the alley not long after.

the ride was silent and tense.

yunho really wanted to ask how is his neighbor feeling but he knew what the answer would be.

seonghwa really wanted to ask yunho how big the news is for him but he wasn't ready for the answer.

they arrived at the agency's parking lot that thankfully located underground, yunho said he will wait for seonghwa.

seonghwa went to the fifth floor, ignoring every eyes that stared at him either in disgust, hatred, disappointment-

"finally. are you okay?" eden went to hug seonghwa immediately the second seonghwa land his feet on eden's office.

seonghwa who was in shock hugged his boss back and after a few seconds of thinking, he rest his forehead onto the other's shoulder.
