[bxb] the forgotten promise | yeosang / ateez

true end [inception]

Yeosang looked at the three male in front of him, their glowing orbs glinting with hope and worry. The brunette couldn’t understand why are they so desperate on saving someone like him, he was already sealed in such a cruel fate that none of them can go against with. There are times that he wanted to ask why must he live in such a cruel life like this, wondering why must he suffer again and again.

Why does it have to be like this?

Why am I supposed to live a life like this?

Why must every moment that I want to last ends in such a laughable situation?

He couldn’t help but look away from the three, making them flinch a bit when they saw Yeosang’s hurt expression. He envied them, them who had a chance to continue their lives while he already has a time limit that he couldn’t get away from. The green eyes of jealousy taking over him as he watches over the people that future awaits while he’s standing in the same place, his wrists and ankles shackled to the cruel fate that is creeping behind him.

“Yeosang?” He heard Seonghwa’s soft voice along with a bunch of footsteps getting louder.

“I’m sorry, everyone.”

“Hey, I don’t know why you’re apologizing but lemme tell you this. You’re probably feeling bad because of this situation but listen, you’ve done nothing wrong.” Wooyoung nonchalantly states, crossing his arms “I’m sorry if I have to be blunt but now’s not the time for this kind of situation. You’ve told us that you’ll be picking someone from the three of us so just choose quickly.”

“I can’t.”

“Excuse me?”

“Woo, I can’t pick anyone. I don’t want to leave anyone out of this, the three of you are everything that I have.”

Wooyoung can’t help but feel like his face is heating up because of what he heard from Yeosang “W-What? Don’t blurt out stuff like that as if it doesn’t mean anything!”

“But I mean it! I really can’t choose from any of you!” Yeosang blurted out, his hand clutching on his sweater.

“But didn’t you just said that someone must be left behind?!”

“Woo, stop screaming already.” Seonghwa scolded him with a light chop towards the raven-haired male’s head.

“I can’t choose. I’m sorry for being this weak.”

“Who says that you’re weak just because you weren’t able to choose from any of us?” San, who has been silent the entire time decides to speak out, getting all of their attention “You’re strong, Yeosang. And the fact that you’re still here with us proves how strong you are, everything that you’ve been through is already a warzone and you’ve survived that.”

“San..”

“I believe that you’re strong. Please stop saying that you’re weak, Yeosang. Because there are people that believes  on your strength and I’m one of those people,” San stated as he gently held Yeosang’s face, smiling a bit “You’re strong, Yeosang.”

“You’re so kind, San.”

San chuckles, pulling his hand away from the brunette’s face “Calling a demon ‘kind’ is kind of weird but then again, guess I’m an eccentric one.”

Wooyoung faked a cough, making everyone look at him “As much as the two of you are endearlingly sweet, we should be making a plan already.”

“Party pooper.” San stuck his tongue out and glared at the raven-haired male.
