how i became their friend.

𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒐𝒗

donghyuck, mark, chenle and jisung. renjun remembers them, of course he does. he cant forget the four boys who comforted him when jeno left him for his new bestfriend jaemin. he cant forget the four boys who always got mad at him when he would say he was okay when he was clearly not. he cant forget the four boys who supported him with every decision he made.

he cant just forget those four boys who he left because his family forced him to move back to china. he cant forget those four boys whom he never got to say goodbye to. he would never forget the four boys who always slept over so that he wont get hit, he wont be abused, he wont cry.

as we were approaching their table, memories suddenly flooded my head as i saw the four boys looking at me. the first to approach me was donghyuck, he was my bestfriend, he told me everything and i told him everything except for one thing. me leaving for china.

"injun?"

he said with his eyes tearing up

"hyuck? i'm back?"

i said smiling as donghyuck suddenly hugged me.

"why? when?"

"later, i'll tell you all later"

i said smiling from ear to ear. the next to approach me was mark. he was the oldest out of all of us, he was the strongest out of all of us. he was our pillar in our friend group.

"why didnt you tell us you were coming home? we could've prepared"

"surprise?"

as i said the he just smiled and hugged me, a very tight hug. as mark pulled away from our long hug came a tall boy, jisung, before i could speak he hugged me, squeezing me til i couldn't breath, i tapped his shoulder and thats whenhe stopped and smiled to me

"hyung"

"jisung"

"i missed you..."

"i missed you more baby chick"

"but lele missed you the most hyung"

and thats when i averted my gaze to the boy who just sat there looking at me, this time i approached him first as i sat beside him he didn't say anything

"chenle?"
"lele?"
"lele..."

"why? why did you suddenly leave us?"
"why didnt you say goodbye?"
"why...why didnt you ask for help?"

"i'm sorry, i'm really really sorry"

when i said that chenle just stood up and hugged me with tears falling out of his eyes. it destroyed me to know how he felt when i left him...them

as the five boys were having their moment, jeno and jaemin looked at each other and silently approached them.

"do you guys know each other?"
jeno said

"what do you mean do we know them? jeno he was-"

as donghyuck was about to finish his sentence renjun covered his mouth and whispered a quick

"i'll explain later"

renjun wasn't ready yet, he doesnt want to burden them with the pain they made him felt
