Chapter 38: Lie to me... till the end...
"Wooyoung..." Junho said in a soft tone as his eyes started welling up in tears. Turning to a flustered red, all he could do was take a step forward and approach Wooyoung to comfort him.
"It's all a lie... right? ... Junho...?" Wooyoung had his head down as the ground marked drippings from his tears... clenching a tight fist and trying to hold back all emotions that wanted to break his barrier which protected his sane self.
No answer from Junho at all as no sound came out from his mouth which was in the shape of an 'O'...
"Taecyeon...?" His quivering voice hinted the first set of emotions that penetrated the barrier as he remained in the same position.
Taecyeon frowned as his eyebrows slowly lowered into a saddening position, "Wooyoung..."...
"I know... it's there but... why is it so painful..." Wooyoung started to breakdown as he sniffled and stared at the carpeted floor.
"... it's fine... just... forget what you saw... or accept it... those are the only two options..." Taecyeon reached out and held Wooyoung in his embrace... gently patting as his eyes started to water as well.
"... you know as well as I do... I chose the first option already... but tell me... how do I... how do I Taecyeon,.. please tell me what to do..." Wooyoung rubbed his face on Taecyeon's shoulder as tears just kept flowing out.
"... I can't stand this any longer... I'm going in..." Junho brushed by Taecyeon and Wooyoung but...
"Junho..." Taecyeon grabbed Junho's arm and shook his head, hinting that this should just be left alone.
"But Taecyeon... this is not doing anybody any good at all... why can't we just resolve this here and now?" Junho tried to remain calm and control his tone so that nobody hears them.
"because... this is something that can't be solved by a bystander... even if it means somebody so close to us..." Taecyeon bit his lower lip as tears dripped out one after the other. "Let's go back..."
The three boys wiped their faces with some pocket tissues and returned to their table, pretending as if nothing happened at all.
"What took you guys?" Junsu raises his left brow as he questions the three boys.
"Nothing at all hyung... nothing at all..." Junho smiled as he sat beside Jaebeom.
"..." Jaebeom notices the aura surrounding Junho was different... they've known each other for so long that it was hard to miss. He leaned over and whispered, "Junho... I'm here for you no matter what... so lean on me a little, but that doesn't mean I will force you to say anything you don't want to." Finishing off with a slight tap on Junho's left shoulder with his chin, Jaebeom backs into position.
Junho looks over and smiled while he pats Jaebeom's right thigh.
The mini-meal at the cafe progressed regularly as one would say. Soon after their manager returned to pay the bill and get the boys.
-2PM's dorm-
The six boys were assembled at the door where they were putting their shoes away, when suddenly Wooyoung took a few steps forward to clear off the space, turned around to face the other members, and bowed.
"I'm sorry..."
Junsu, Jaebeom, and Chansung furrowed their brows and tilted their heads, while Junho and Taecyeon bit their lower lips trying to avoid saying anything at all.
Wooyoung stood back up and headed back into his room.
The 3 confused members faced Junho and Taecyeon, hoping to get an explanation.
"... I-" Junho was interrupted as Taecyeon stopped him by sticking out his right arm in front of him.
"This matter does not need anymore drama... just let it be... please... I beg you..." Taecyeon slowly broke down as he got on his knees and cried.
Chansung rushed over and got to Taecyeon's eye level, "Hyung..."
Taecyeon wraps his arms around Chansung and apologized to the younger.
Junsu had no idea what was going on but he wasn't the type not to take action when his members are suffering. He turned for the stairs and began making his way 'there'... the place with all the answers...
"JUNSU-HYUNG WAIT!!! STOP!!!" Junho exclaimed as he stared at the back figure of Junsu ascending the stairs, but it was already too late. Junsu was already at the entrance to the threshold, slowly opening the door to the dark room. The lights to the main room weren't lit which made others question and look around the room as is. Junsu looks around and finds the bathroom door shut and emitting a slight water dripping noise. He approaches the door but... it was locked... "Wooyoung? Can we talk?" Junsu knocked in succession. But no answer from the party on the opposite side.
Junsu sticks his ear on the surface of the door to hear clearly if anything was going on in particular but...
"Junsu..." The other members stood there behind him. Honestly the others wanted to know how Wooyoung was doing but... they also respected Wooyoung not only as a member or friend but as a brother.
Taecyeon took a step forward and tried to pull Junsu away but...
"I'm sorry guys..." Junsu gathered all his strength into one kick and the door swings wide opened, denting the wall on impact.
"WOOYOUNG!!!" The members shouted as they witnessed the naked member collapsed in the bathtub filled with only clear water but... little flurries of blood began to fill the tub. Wooyoung's left wrist was cut from an exacto-knife which was conveniently placed on the edge of the bathtub.
"CALL MANAGER HYUNG AND 119!!!" Junsu was kneeling down beside the tub as he was trying to stop the bleeding with a towel.
