Jeongin:*screaming* I hate you! I hate all of you! If that what you really want, then fine!

Blamm! The sound of the door slamming with the wall was echoed throughout the room. The members present was all sitting quiet still can't quite get the grip of the situation.

Minho: So, now what?

One question. But it force all of the members mind to work extremely hard to find the answer. There is only one response to the answer. Silence. Nothing more. Oh, maybe one more answer, some heavy sigh.

Hyunjin: Bringing up those topics is the worst idea ever! *regret* Why the hell did we bring those up?!

Changbin who has been silence since the meeting finally speak up. And, it was pretty predicted for the others.

Changbin:*getting up* I'm leaving.

Changbin's hand which try to reach the door knob was stop by Felix's voice.

Felix: Is leaving the only thing you can do now, hyung?

Changbin keep silence and walk out of the room not forgetting to close the door behind him. Leaving the 6 members sitting there silently. Teh air was heavy. They feel like even breathing is a hard thing to do.

Chan: Let's just get some peace for awhile. Sitting here will only make thing worse.

Seungmin who have a different opinion wanted to speak up. But before he can, Chan give him a look, 'please, not now' which hold him back from speaking up. Chan leaves the room followed by the others. Hyunjin, the last one who still stay seated in his, finally lose his cool and shout some unnecessary things out. Trying to throw the anger which has been building up inside him. He drop down to his knee at last, feeling no power to hold his body back. Slowly tears come and stream down his face. Regret is the only thing that last in his mind before he quickly get up and punch the nearest wall he can found and make his fist wounded.

The next morning, Jeongin was not seen in the dorm. The members have tried calling him, but they keep failing to get on contact with him. Slowly their hope which is small starting to crumble little by little. Regret starting to eat them up little by little. Felix lose his cool and stomp outside of the dorm leaving a slamming door behind him. Seungmin quietly walk to close the door that has been left open. Leaning to it and fall to the floor. He has no strength to keep his body up even keep his mind in the right track. One by one, go back to each of their room. Hyunjin who shared the same room as Jeongin, break down in tears from the moment he closed his room's door. The faint scent of their once maknae was there. Lingering everywhere that he can reach. Once again, he scream out his feelings. He is frustrated. He is going to get crazy.

The second day come by and pass, same goes as the other day. Without realising, a week has passed since their argument. Jeongin? He is still nowhere to be found. They have lost hope. Only one thing inside their mind, that they need to let him go.

Exact three months have passed since the accident. No one has ever saw Jeongin since that day. There are some rumours saying that he is now in America continuing his study, some said that he changed school, some even said that he already got married. The last one was an obvious lie. At least, it was for the members. The members also decide to not stay in the same place since two months ago. Chan, Changbin, and Jisung decide to rent a small house and leave there. Minho and Seungmin decide to get back at their parents home. Felix and Hyunjin stay at students' dorm. Did they still stay contacted? Yes, they still did. But no matter how hard they tried to ignore it, there will be some lingering feelings of missing and regret.

Luckily or not, the eight of them was once again gather up inside their favourite cafe. Chatting, no, more like stuck up in their own world thinking whatever they are thinking.

Changbin:*sigh* I'm going back first.

Just when Changbin want to stand up from his seat, a familiar looking boy bump to him. Without looking up, the familiar looking boy said sorry and try to leave. Try. Seungmin who was seated beside Changbin quickly grip the familiar looking boy with a kinda tight grip which make the other flinch in pain.

Seungmin: Jeongin? You are Jeongin, right?

The rest whipped their head as fast as lightning when they heard the name of their maknae. Scanning the face which is cover by the hat slowly and surely. Changbin is getting impatient cause he hated it when someone says the maknae name infront of him. It trigger a wrongful feeling inside him. He tossed the other's hat and catch it. The sight of his face was finally shown. It is indeed their maknae.

Jeongin know that he can't run away at this situation. Not when one of his hand was being grip by Seungmin and his movements was blocked by Changbin. He sighed and greet them.

Jeongin:*awkward* Hey, I guess?
Hyunjin:*disbelief* Wh-where have you been?!
Jeongin:*awkward* Em, somewhere?

Felix quickly scattered up to his feet and pull Jeongin and force him to sit at his seat. Jeongin was once again surrounded by the members except it was Chan and Minho now. Chan still stay still, not wanting to believe that the boy that he just dreamed of meeting was here. Stay seated beside him. On teh other hand, Minho was quick to grip Jeongin's hand afraid that he will go away again.

Jeongin:*wince in pain* Ouch, *sigh* I know that all of you are having so many questions, but can we talk this outside? Not here?

Jeongin's ear was red from embarrassment, he can't bear to lift his head up to face all the stare from teh other customers. Seungmin's question has unknowingly attract the other attention. They bow to show their sorry to others before grabbing their things and went out of the cafe. Minho still grabbing on Jeongin's hand, dragging him close to him. Making sure that he will no longer gone from their sight.

Jeongin: Where are you taking me?
Chan: Let's stop at our house.

With that, the whole members charge towards Chan's shared dorm. Making sure that the whole member is present, with Jeongin sitting in the center they started to throw questions and some statements were throw to him once in awhile.

Hyunjin: Where have you been?!
Chan: Are you leaving Korea?!
Felix: Are you married?!
Jeongin: Calm down, guy- *realise Felix's question* Wait, what?!
Felix:*smile shyly* Ignore my question.
Jeongin: Okay? I'll answer your question one by one. Where have I been? I'm still in Korea.
Chan: Move house?
Jeongin: Yes, I moved into my cousin's house after *hesitate* the argument.

The whole room fall silence. The cold and painful silence. The silence was create because the members is started to be eaten by their guilt which have they tried to buried it deep inside them.

Chan: I'm sorry. I know that sorry can't fixed anything, but *sigh* I'm sorry.

The room was once again fall back to deep silence even after what Chan have said.

Jeongin: I'm sorry too. I'm too childish way back. I *take a breath* think of myself way too high that I am starting to forget that you guys have your own feelings and arguement. I'm sorry.

Their heart was stabbed by what Jeongin's have just said. They hate the looks that Jeongin was wearing now. The sad and guilty look. They hated it. They have always been trying to make sure that nothing and will come at their maknae.

Hyunjin: We are sorry for saying that kind of things. If I were in your shoes that time, I would also do the same. The things that we said can't be tolerate no matter how hard you think of it. We are sorry.

They spent their whole evening and night there. Speaking of all of their problems even though it was not related to Jeongin that have been buried deep. Solving all of those problems from their arguement to the rumours.

Jeongin:*disbelief* I'm married?! I am still 20!
Chan:*laugh* I know right! And, you know what worse, Jackson totally believe that!
Felix:*laugh* He run from his class to ours just to make sure that you are married!

Their rest of day was filled with laughter. It was lucky for them that they met their maknae back at their favourite cafe. Just imagined if they never go back to that cafe because of not wanting to remember those painful memory of their arguement, maybe 'till now, they are still drowning from guilty.
