HIDEOUT: LEE TAEYONG

soyoung

i entered the greenhouse where we all stood and hid from the walkers and stray kids, the place looked exactly like ours before, dead. it seemed like they don't really use this for something, possibly because they haven't collected some planting seeds unlike us.

"holy shit, soyoung i thought you weren't gonna make it." i saw doyoung said, his voice severely shaking and he immediately pulled me into a tight embrace. his arms tightening the hug as he comfortably pulled my head down to bury my face on his chest. a bit surprised, i didn't managed to hug back because he had already pulled us apart. "i'm fine doyoung, you don't need to worry anymore." i flashed a small smile.

"oooh, good news taeyong wasn't here to see that!" mark squealed, jumping out of nowhere which caused doyoung to annoyingly roll his eyes.

"fuck off mark, go back to the kids where you belong okay?" doyoung teased with a small grin, tilting his head towards the group of youngsters; chenle, jisung, renjun, jeno, jaemin and donghyuck. mark not taking anything offensive and smiled warmly at himself, nodding his head and dreamily walking towards them. "i will, i missed them." he mumbled, even making doyoung emotional now.

"well fuck." doyoung muttered. "you know mark used to be with them?" i shook my head at doyoung's question.

"fuck you zhong chenle and park jisung, why the fuck didn't you come back to sopa?! i thought you motherfuckers were dead, you fucking let me bawl my eyes off every night but in reality you guys are fucking alive! i feel like a fucking idiot now!" donghyuck aggressively said, gritting his teeth, an attempt for trying to let the tears in. before they could see it stream out, he quickly flung himself to the two youngest, embracing them tightly as the others watched with a smile.

ahh, donghyuck being emotional is his weakness.

"i'm glad kun could safely bring you back here." jaehyun joined, caressing his handless arm with a smile. "yeah i'm glad too, but i'm more glad at the fact that i'm seeing sicheng like that." all the three of us turned our head to see sicheng in the group of friends he used to be in: kun, yukhei, xiaojun, yangyang, ten, and hendery. i mean like, look at him happily talk with them in chinese with that beautiful bright smile.

"i can tell he will be away from us for a while." jaehyun weakly smiled. "i think it's best for sicheng to stay there for now, don't worry he'll still be here with all of us." doyoung assured, also flashing a weak smile as two crying taeil and yuta came to us.

"you think he will forget about me?" yuta asked. "you think he will forget about me?" taeil repeated. 

"i think it's also best to pause that triangle love you guys have with him." i awkwardly laughed, jaehyun and doyoung agreeing and chuckling with but of course the two sicheng obsessed wouldn't approve it. (fr though, i feel like sicheng is doing better in wayv. he shines in wayv, unlike in 127 he doesn't really get to and he has more lines. i know it's still not a lot, but it's better if you compare them to his 127 lines. i still do miss winwin in 127, especially with yuta and taeil!)

i smiled.

"oh..." i paused and faced doyoung. "where's taeyong?" i asked as all of them looked at me with a tensed expression.

"taking care of things." by jaehyun changing the tone of the word 'things', i knew what he meant. "why didn't you guys stop him? he could've stayed and we could all leave right now with him, for fuck sake..." i mumbled. "i just hate seeing taeyong so ruthless." i said.

i really didn't want any fight between chan and taeyong, it will make everything worse.

"we tried soyoung, we really did but he wouldn't listen. he wanted chan to feel the pain he went through when chan killed his mother." jaehyun explained. "does he know why chan did it?" i asked, crossing my arms and impatiently waiting for their response. i know it sounds like i'm jumping on chan's side, but i'm not, i just wanna make sure if taeyong is aware of why chan had done it.
