BLACK | jung jaehyun [on hold]

thirty one

when jaehyun woke up, you were already gone.

though he expected the worst to happen, he still couldn't face the reality.

you weren't here to stay forever.

jaehyun pushed himself off his bed and walked to jeno's room, wanting to check on his younger brother.

jeno was gone, too.

but it wasn't like when jeno would go out and get wasted.

all of the items on jeno's desk had been smashed and thrown to the ground as if a tornado had taken place there.

the closet was open and there was only half of what used to be there.

jaehyun stood there in shock for all that he had just seen.

this was a whole different set of reality he could not process.

jeno ran away and jaehyun didn't know where to.

immediately he wanted to contact jaemin.

he wanted to yell and scream, shout at the boy who hurt his brother.

but he had no way of communication to jaemin.

instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed his mother.

he had tried to explain the situation but didn't know how to because he wasn't jeno.

jaehyun didn't know what was going on in jeno's mind.

how could he just reveal such opinions when it wasn't even his own conflict to spur up?

how could he find jeno when he was not jaemin?

i got a voicemail from jaehyun.

"call me back when you hear this."

he had said.

but i've contacted him too much to count this afternoon.

after sending him four calls and five messages, he still hasn't responded.

should i be worried?

there isn't anything to be worried about, right?

but the way his voice shook with every word, he was anxious.

what was happening?

so i showed up at his house and no one was home.

there were no cars, no lights in the house to indicate anyone's presence.

what did that mean for me?

and why am i suddenly here?

"y/n?"
