Cuz You're My Baby Boy || ZHONG CHENLE

Later and Never

Jiyoo

It's only a few minutes until I have to leave for the flight. I keep looking back, hoping to see Chenle. I don't want to see his disappointed face but... At least I can leave him with a smile to remember.

Jaehyun came to me and throw me a bag of wet wipes. I forgot to buy some for the flight and asked him to get some for me.

"You have everything right?" He asked.

I just nodded as I keep glancing to see if Chenle is coming to see me off.

"Jiyoo..." Two crying voices called my name.

I looked at them and opened my arms wide. Jina and Yuni ran to me and hugged each other.

"How dare you leave when I just came back!" Yuni nagged in tears.

"I'm so sorry... " I mumbled.

We let go and Jina looked around. She looks around as if she's searching for someone.

"Where's Chenle?" She asked.

"I guess he's not coming..." I smiled in disappointment.

"But You're leaving in five minutes" Yuni looked at me worriedly.

"He must have other important errands to attend" I tried thinking as positive as I could.

"What's more important than seeing his girlfriend off?! That boy is so-" Jina scrunched her forehead.

"No girls it's fine... I can't bear seeing him anyways" I smiled weakly.

Suddenly Jaehyun came to me with my luggage. He gave me my sunglasses.

"Well... It's time to fly" I wore it and smiled.

Jaehyun helped me put on my jacket and gave me the handle to my luggage.

"Take care sweetheart" he hugged me.

"Hmm... You too Jae oppa! I'll call you once I arrive" I tiptoed and ruffled his hair.

Then I set off for the plane with a heavy heart. It feels like gravity is pulling the ends of my lips that I force to smile. I turn to look ahead and tears starts to fall. I can't bear it anymore.

The pain of stepping away from my whole happiness is the pain I will remember. Steps filled with regrets and tears.

Chenle

I tug my jacket and looked at the mirror. I have to look good for her since this could be my last time seeing her. Who knows when will she be able to see me again?

Feeling good with how I look, I took the gift I made for her. It's a custom made locket that I ordered. There's only two of them. One is mine and the other one is for my darling.

I grab my phone and ran downstairs. I said goodbye to my folks and head out. Infront of the house, Nara is standing. She came to my house everyday trying to get to my good side and begging to be with me again which annoyed me.

I ignored her presence there and left to go to Jiyoo's house. I took out my phone and texted Jina.

Chenle:
Jiyoo will be off at twelve right?

MK Hyung's Bae:
Her plane took off at twelve stupid. It's already in the air by now...

Chenle:
Yuni said she'll took off at twelve...

MK Hyung's Bae:
And she's right... Jiyoo is already off

Chenle:
It can't be...

MK Hyung's Bae:
Look at the time dumbass... You're late...

I looked at my watch and realised it's already 12:40. I ran quickly while holding tight on the gift I have for her.

When I stop infront of her house, Jaehyun hyungs car is still there. In my heart I was praying some muracle happend and she's still here.

With all my courage, I ring the bell. Jaehyun hyung came out to the gate. He looks so... Different. He looks like all life has been sucked out of him.

"Chenle? Why are you here?" He asked.

"Hyung... Has Jiyoo-"

"She already left... I'm sorry but you're late" he said.

Can you hear it? My heart is breaking. I lose my focus and my hands became sweaty. The locket slipped out of my hold and fall to the ground and breaks into pieces just like how my soul is breaking inside.

I hold on the bars of the gate but I still slipped and fall to the ground. Resulting to my head hitting something but I couldn't care less.  Tears were unstoppable as I feel  some hot liquid trickling down from my forehead.

"Chenle!" Jaehyun hyung shouted.

I can barely see Taeyong hyung, Jina and Mark Hyung who just arrived panicking at the sight of me.

"He's bleeding!"

"Oppa let's get him in first!"

"Quick I need to clean his wounds!"

It was loud. But in my ears they were nothing but noise as I slowly close my eyes...

And fainted...
