THIRD PERSON

"Sungie... are you really sure?" Felix worriedly asked.

"Even if I'm still not ready, I have to face it. I can't keep on deciding things I shouldn't decide because of my selfishness. I'm growing day by day, it's about time I should think about my responsibilities."

"But Jisung—"

"After all... I also think it's about time I see him again..."

"Will you be able to handle it?"

Jisung shut his eyes, "Probably."

"Probably?!"

"No, I will. I must. For his sake, I must. And not only him, but for Lino-hyung as well..."

"Jisung, your mental health is not—"

"Felix." Jisung called out, cutting his friend off. He gave him a reassuring smile, "I'll be fine. I'm grown enough to handle these kinds of problems."

"Sungie..." Felix muttered with a worried expression on his face.

"I already talked to my mother about it the other day, but she said I should give it some thought first."

"Then—!"

"But now I've decided."

"I just want to escape from this arrangement and attain my freedom."

"And I won't change my decision anymore." Jisung firmly said, his eyes filled with determination.

Seungmin sighed, "If that's your decision, then we'll support you."

Jisung gave him a smile, "I knew I could count on you."

"W-when are you going to leave then?" Felix questioned.

"Well... honestly I should be packing my stuff right now." Jisung told them.

"T-that soon?!" Felix shrieked.

Jisung nodded, "Yeah, this is something important after all."

Seungmin held his hand and gave him a smile, "Don't stray too far, idiot."

Jisung chuckled, "I won't. I have a place to stay there, you know."

He looked over to Felix and gave him a smile, "Lixie, I'll be back. Just like before, right?"

Felix lowered his head, "I'm just worried about your mental—"

"Shh." Jisung shushed, cutting him off. "I'll be fine." He told him with a reassuring smile.

The two watched as their best friend walk away. They had worried expressions painted in their faces, especially Felix.

"You're not gonna stop him?" Felix asked.

"If it's his decision, then we can't do anything about it." Seungmin replied. "Besides... I can't stand seeing him like that anymore.  I just want Jisung to be happy. After all..."

"He blamed himself for what happened 10 years ago... right?" Felix continued.

Seungmin nodded, "Maybe by going back to that place, the scar in his heart will finally heal."

Jisung sighed as he took his step inside the mansion. Looking around, he remembers a lot of things that happened between him and Minho for the past few months.

"Yeah... this all happened because I chose this decision in the first place..."
