It had been awfully quiet between them during their ride home. The atmosphere held dread and anxiety. None of the two take time to break  the silence, both scared of the words they might say.

Hyungwon kept his shaking eyes outside the window. His hands were shaking as he tightly clutch onto the papers and pictures Wonho had shown him. He was unaware that he was still holding onto it. His mind was running of all the information that was thrown to him. He was re-thinking of all the things that had happened the past few months ever since he had woken up from that hospital bed. Everything made sense but his desperate mind tries to deny all the facts, he's still clinging to the small fraction of hope that all of it was a lie and Minhyuk was the one telling the truth.

Minhyuk on the other hand was driving silently. His eyes travels nervously aiming at Hyungwon once in a while. His heart painfully hammering in his chest. He was scared, he knew he can't escape this anymore. He didn't know what Wonho had told or shown Hyungwon but the older might have been confident about the information if he had the guts to tell whatever it was to Hyungwon.
He bit the inside of his cheek. He can't even think properly, the pounding of his heart prevents him.

It didn't took them a long time before they've arrived at the Lee mansion. The both of them didn't made any motion of getting out even after the car was nicely parked.
They just sat there with the tension. Hyungwon still staring outside the window while Minhyuk was anxiously fiddling with his fingers.

After some time passed Minhyuk decided to make the first movement. He slowly  unbuckled his seatbelt. He bit his lip as he turn to Hyungwon, the taller was not making any shift in his position at all. So hesitantly, Minhyuk moved his hands to reach towards Hyungwon's seatbelt. He was always the one to unbuckled it for Hyungwon so he thought maybe, just maybe he was waiting for Minhyuk to do it for him like he normally does.

Minhyuk flinched hard when Hyungwon suddenly swat his hand away. The action both startled them. Hyungwon did not intend to smack the others hand away, he had been so deep in his thoughts that it had surprised him when he felt Minhyuk's hands near him.

"I... I can do it myself" Hyungwon said. He removed his seat belt hastily and quickly went out of the car, he unintentionally slammed the car door shut, leaving Minhyuk behind.

With fast footsteps and his shaking hands Hyungwon quickly went up their room. He was breathing hard when he arrived there, his eyes watering. Different emotions slowly dumping onto him as he stood in their shared bedroom.

"Minhyuk, do you have something to tell me?" Hyungwon asked when he heard the sound of their bedroom door opened and felt the other's presence inside the room.

Hyungwon took in a large breath, he gathered all his courage and tried to composed himself, he turned to face Minhyuk who was standing by the closed door.

"Do you have something to tell me?" He asked once again putting an edge in his voice as he stare straight into Minhyuk's anxious eyes.

Hyungwon waited for his response but Minhyuk remained quiet in his place.

"Answer me!" Hyungwon shouted, stressed out and angry. He closed his eyes and a single warm tear slipped out.

But Minhyuk stayed on his place. His heart was breaking at the sight of Hyungwon but he cant bring himself to talk. It was as if his mouth was clipped shut to prevent him from ever talking.

"Please just answer me" Hyungwon breath out. He still had his desperate eyes trained on Minhyuk. Begging him to tell him what he needed to know.

"I'll believe you" Hyungwon desperately choke out.
