"Oh!"
Sunghoon turned towards the entrance seeing the face he had wished for but had not expected.
"Heeseung hyung , heeseung hyung , It's heeseung hyung !"his mouth uttered unconsciously as his body was filled with excitement and he sat there all...
"He didn't glance at me, not even once", Heeseung thought as he laid on his bed.
"Sunghoon didn't mind, he didn't even inquire if I was fine." Slowly tears clouded in his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.
He was extremely unsettled and heartbroken because Sunghoon had been trying to bypass him for the past one month. He neither invited him to the skating rinks nor asked him to eat out together. Leave about going out together, even having a small chat with him was becoming hard these days. Sunghoon tried to avoid him as much as he could by getting involved with other members whenever Heeseung neared him. He didn't even respond to any of his texts nor picked his calls. Even when they had group trips, Sunghoon always hung out with Jake and Jay, not even bothering about him.

The same thing had happened today. They had started practicing more hours since their debut date was nearing; in which they had to show their best facets to leave an impression on the public. Alike the previous days, they had been working on their skills individually and in the group simultaneously. Jake, Jay, and Sunghoon were inside one of the rehearsal studios by themselves, Heeseung and Jungwon were in the other practice room while Sunoo and Niki were at the main dance studio of the Bighit building.
Heeseung and Jungwon were trying to intensify their dance moves when Heeseung abruptly felt a thump in his head. His vision became a blur and the last thing he heard was Jungwon calling his name before passing out.

"Hyung, are you okay?"
He gently opened his eyes to see Jungwon perching beside the bed he was laying on with the same face that he had when the debut line was about to be declared during our I-land period, the same concerned expression. He noticed he was in the infirmary presumably brought by Jungwon when he passed out during the practice.
He tried to sit up moderately with Jungwon's help because he was too weak to on his own.
"I'm fine", he said ruffling the younger's hair and smiling at him.
Jungwon usually replied back with a smile in the response but this time he did not. Instead, he grasped his left hand away from his head and asked, "Did you not eat today as well? You didn't take even a bit of a nap last night, right? How long will this keep on going, Hyung ?"
Heeseung looked around the room to make sure there was nobody because he knew where this conversation was going. He got a sense of ease when he realized there was no one and looked back at his dongsaeng. Jungwon was actually true, it had been days since he had a decent meal or proper sleep because all he could speculate about was Sunghoon.
"No, Jungwon. It's not like that. I am just a bit worn out." He lied turning his back at the younger, pulling the sheath over his chest fighting back the tears so that Jungwon would quit interrogating him but he didn't.
"Stop lying, Hyung. I know it's all because of Sunghoon Hyung, right ?" he said pulling Heeseung back to face him with his eyes filled.
After being questioned by Jungwon that way, he couldn't hold back his tears. He burst out and cried in Jungwon's arms that were placed by the smaller one around him. He emptied out all his feelings that were bottled up.
