When Johnny manages to make it to Sicheng's apartment his nerves are on edge. He knows it's going to be rough but he has to do this. He stands with his fist up ready to knock but he can't bring himself to do it.
"Are you going to stand there all day or would you like to come in with me?" He's surprised and jumps at Taeyong's voice behind him.
"Oh um yeah, I'll come with you." They both enter, Johnny expects to see Sicheng crying in his brothers arms but he's nowhere to be seen.
"Johnny." Renjun yells out as he runs up to hug him. To say he's surprised is an understatement, he awkwardly hugs him back and tries to figure out the situation.
"Oh hi Renjun, um where's Sicheng?"
"Oh he came home from his classes a little while ago but he's acting strange, like he has no emotions or something." Johnny nods and sighs.
"Is he eating well?" Renjun awkwardly nods.
"Do you know something I don't? It's usually Yuta asking these things not you?"
Johnny pulls Renjun to the couch and holds his hands in his own.
"You're scaring me Johnny, what's going on?" He looks away, having a hard time saying what needs to be said.
"Look, I'm not sure what Sicheng's feelings for Yuta are but apparently..." he doesn't get to finish when he's cut off by Sicheng himself.
"Why are you here? Huh? You need to leave, I don't want you here." Now Renjun and Taeyong are really confused, as far as they're concerned Johnny is a friend.
"Sicheng, I'm sorry. But I-I didn't..."
"Save it you're friends with him, I don't want any part of him here." It gets gravely quiet as the hurt finally shows through his eyes.
"I gave him everything, I trusted him. I know we didn't have a title but at the very least he could have respected me enough not to lead me on." Renjun runs to Sicheng, as does Taeyong.
"He's not my friend." Johnny says barely audible.
"What did you say?" Renjun asks, hurt by this whole situation. He has feelings for Johnny but Sicheng is his brother.
"I'll leave but I want you to know, I will come back. You guys are my friends now and I care about you. Him? He's just my boss. I can't be friends with someone who could do that. And just so you know I also just found out today." He gets up walking quickly out the door so they can't see his heartache from having to tell those lies. He exits the building as quick as he can, knowing his presence isn't going to help matters, he goes to his friends house to check on his well-being.
What he sees when he gets there is pure hell, Yuta has completely tore the place apart, there was half empty booze bottles surrounding him on the floor and Johnny wonders how in just a few hours he has turned into this. His normally tidy place was destroyed.
"Yuta? Hey, buddy this is not the answer man. You are stronger than this. I know this hurts but you have to get up and be strong. Get through this, finish this stupid task and get Sicheng back." Yuta looks his way with swollen eyes.
"I've never felt this way about anyone you know, and I've been with a lot of people. Maybe this is me being punished for being a playboy huh?" Johnny scoffs.
"I wouldn't say playboy, just because you've never fallen in love with the people you've dated doesn't make you a bad person. You were saving your self for the right one, you were saving yourself for Sicheng." Yuta huffs and looks down to the bottle in his hand.
"Did you see the look on his face? He felt betrayed, after all the things I said to him when we were... intimate. All the things I told him any day of the week, I'm sure he thinks are lies. All thanks to that asshole Mark lee." Johnny starts to clean up the mess, picking up broken pieces of glass and other debris from Yuta's tantrum.
"I'm sure he had good reason. Now all we have to do is cooperate with the police and this monster and try to get through it as quickly as possible."
Johnny knows both his friends are fragile right now and he needs to be strong but it's hard when everything good comes crashing down. He knows it is going to affect the way Renjun sees him as well.
He picks Yuta up off the floor and drags him to his bed.
"What are you doing? I can't sleep here, Sicheng's been in this bed." Johnny rolls his eyes.
"Look Yuta, I love you. You're my best friend but do you really think this is the way to be? You're such an idiot. You need to be strong for both you and Sicheng, now get your ass to sleep and I'll be back to pick you up for work tomorrow." With that he walks out. Yuta tries to get up but realized he drank too much too quickly and shouldn't move, so he decides that sniffing Sicheng's side of the bed is the best option.
This one is a bit shorter but I have things planned and I want to start a new chapter for that. Hope you are enjoying so far! 💚
