Donghyuck was working on his project with Sungchan at the time. Minhyung's flight to Canada is in two days. Donghyuck had become so engrossed in his schoolwork that he had forgotten the date and time. While working on their report at Sungchan's apartment, he was multitasking. It's almost 9 p.m., and Donghyuck hasn't noticed the time. He hasn't eaten his dinner, he just skipped it without his knowledge.
"Hyung, I'll send you home. I won't accept a 'no'." Sungchan said, Donghyuck chuckled and nodded as an answer.
"Alright, thank you Sungchan. I'm also sorry for the inconvenience. I'm so tired and sleepy. Maybe I won't have my dinner anymore."
When they arrived at the condo building, Donghyuck had no idea that Minhyung had been waiting for him all day, attempting to reach him but he never picked up his phone. His partner was waiting for him in the lounge. He spotted Donghyuck with Sungchan.
"Babe? What are you doing here? I told you not to wait for me anymore." Donghyuck said, his eyes were totally sleepy and body was enervated. Burn out.
"You should tell me so I can fetch you up at Sungchan's house. Have you eaten? I'll order—"
"Babe, please. My head aches so bad. I'm so exhausted. I want to rest, let's just talk tomorrow."
"But babe, you shouldn't skip dinner. Let me assist you, okay? You looked so awful, my poor Donghyuck."
"I won't eat. Please, I want to lay down right now and sleep. I have tons of assessments tomorrow." Donghyuck was growing irritated, so Minhyung stopped responding. His partner did not wave farewell as he entered his unit.
When Minhyung entered, he was saddened. He sobbed uncontrollably. This is the most terrifying time of his life, as he fears Donghyuck may transform and replace him. His guts were strong, and he could feel it. He wanted to scratch his idea but he knew that Donghyuck would never do that. He loved him so much, he had trust in his boyfriend that he wouldn't cheat.

"No, no, no. He wouldn't do this..." After witnessing Sungchan's tweet on Twitter, Minhyung mumbled to himself. Out of rage, he rubbed his temples forcefully, beginning to overthink yet still wanting to believe Donghyuck. As he looked at his luggage, his tears wouldn't stop pouring down, grasping the bed sheet.
When Donghyuck stretched his body, he grumbled. His lover, on the other hand, did not give him a kiss signal. He appeared to be completely worn out last night, in addition to his headache. Donghyuck was taken aback when he noticed Jaemin sleeping next to him, which caused his entire body to scream.
"JAEMIN? HOW- HOW THE HELL DID YOU-" He asked in surprise, sitting up on bed. It's 7 in the morning and Donghyuck did not see his boyfriend around.
"Hey, Hyuck. Good morning..." Jaemin greeted back in a sleepy voice.
"Wait, where's Mark?" Donghyuck panicked as he quickly went to his boyfriend's unit, but... He wasn't around.
"BABE? Where are you? Mark!? Lee Minhyung!" Donghyuck kept calling the Canadian, but nothing happened. He returned to his unit to contact him, but his phone was out of service. While on the phone with his partner, he fell into tears many times. Donghyuck saw an envelope letter placed on his table, he didn't hesitate to open and read it.
My Sunshine,
Good day, Haechan Lee. This is your boyfriend, Mark Lee. I hope you are okay when you wake up in the morning. Please don't overwork yourself. Don't get tired, or otherwise... I wrote this letter because I didn't want to wake you awake any longer, and moreover, I know you'll be safe because your closest friend was with you, so that's great with me. Babe, thank you for everything. Thank you for the three months, I don't know what term I should use. This was the greatest moment that happened in my whole life. I am deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart that South Korea was my first place to travel, and I met an angel. Even if I'm his protector, he was my guardian angel. My happy pill, my everything, my sunshine, a full-sun that gives light in my life. Goddamn, I'm missing you like crazy. Everything, especially your lips, hands, lovely angelic face, embraces, red and purple hair, and everything else. Oh my goodness, I've missed you so much. I couldn't sleep if you didn't show up in my sight, chills all over my body, and extreme dread in my chest since you were making me sick with concern. Today was my flight to Canada; I'm not sure when I'll return, or if I'll ever come back. I wanted to spend the rest of my time with you, but you were so occupied with schoolwork that I didn't trouble you any longer. You had Sungchan and Jaemin with you. I'm confident you were in good hands with them. The couple necklace is a symbol of love. Please keep it safe and preserve it; it's my sole present to you, and the places we've seen will stay as memorable memories in my life. I'll never forget the day I met Lee Donghyuck in such a short amount of time. Haechan, thank you very much. They believe you should let someone leave if you truly love them. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about. This, I believe, is the finest option for us. I loved you more than myself, without or with commitment. Please take care of yourself and keep yourself safe wherever you go.
I'm sorry.
Let's break up.
-Mark Lee
"No... NO! This couldn't be!"
Donghyuck's tears flowed freely as he fled without speaking to Jaemin. He ran to the bus station, intent on chasing down his partner and forcing him to return to Seoul International Airport. His entire body was trembling, and his thoughts were racing. Donghyuck dashed out into the airport, unaware that the flight to Canada had already taken off. The guards barred him from entering, but he felt tempted to shove them away.
"MARK! MARK LEE! PLEASE COME BACK! I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE, LEE MINHYUNG! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Donghyuck yelled as loudly as he could while being dragged outside by the guards.
"Sir please. Just get out!"
"NO! LET ME FUCKING GO! I NEED MY BOYFRIEND! PLEASE, JUST LET ME GO!" Donghyuck screamed as he struggled to break away from the guards' grasp. However, Donghyuck ended up outside, laying on the ground when the guards pushed him hard.
". . . Please, I want to see my boyfriend..." Still bawling, he whispered to himself. Donghyuck knelt, his head clasped in his hair, and yelled as loudly as he could, letting out all of his rage. He will take all the blame and risks.
