If only HoSeok could, he would flip the table he sat by with his friends, or even better, demolish the whole room, because of the emotions that were flaring in him. But he couldn't. He was in a public place and he had to behave.
Though it didn't change the fact that tears of anger and sorrow run down his face. He felt guilty that because of him the boy's situation only worsened. He only wanted to help him. He was furious at himself. He took the freedom away from the boy, the freedom he wanted to give him and now he didn't know when he would gain it back.
His friends, listening as he read the letter, looked at HoSeok sadly, as he held himself not to burst in public. Though they knew once they are alone with him, he would break. There would be nothing that would hold him from doing so, from showing how he really felt.
And them? They felt helpless. For so many years they treated SeokJin as if he didn't exist, like black sheep, like someone who brings evil with him, and when they finally got to know him better, they regretted that they hadn't given him a chance earlier, that the didn't have more time to spend it with him. They messed up and had to admit it. But they couldn't turn back time and now they also couldn't fix their mistakes. They didn't even know if they would ever meet SeokJin again. Would they have a chance?
In fact, no one knew.
Neither then, neither HoSeok, neither SeokJin himself.
For now, they could hope that everything would turn out well.
Finally, they went out of the coffee shop, and while walking around the nearby park most of them looked at HoSeok with worry and pity. The boy was looking at his phone for a long while, without success trying to contact SeokJin, just like any other time when he disappeared.
At last, HoSeok cries miserably, as he couldn't hold it any longer. It didn't take long until he felt his friends' arms embracing him, as they wanted to make him feel even a little bit better. But no matter how hard they tried, HoSeok couldn't stop thinking of SeokJin, who was somewhere there, all alone, not having anyone who would be there for him, like the boys were for HoSeok right now.
