26: Confession

I went out and found a baffled and shocked expression for each person that I saw. Jaemin and Jeno were locked in their feet. Jisung is covering Chenle's ears and Shotaro and Sungchan weren't there anymore.

I wipe my tears and search for Haechie.

"He already went home."

"H-Huh?" My breath hitched. "Why? What happened?"

"Apparently you were too loud that we heard everything. I don't know about that baby though but I'm pretty sure about one thing, he's clearly pretending that he's in little space." Jaemin boredly confesses but I'm stuck on that though.

"He… pretended?"

He nodded wordlessly. If that's the case and he heard us fighting, he must've knew what's between us and… shit! What is that baby thinking right now?

"Where are you going?" Jeno pulled me back with his strong arms but that wouldn't clearly stop me. I pushed him away and ran, nervous about everything.

Heavens, please don't let my baby think about something bad. I don't want to continue anything with Renjun. I don't love him anymore. I'm way past us.

I'm inlove with Haechie and no one else.

"Oh, Mark? What brought you here? I heard you were—"

"Where's Haechie?"

"Huh?" His mom gasped. "Isn't he with you?"

"He was," I bite my lip and realized he lied to Jaemin and Jeno. He didn't go home. "He's probably with Shotaro and Sungchan. I'll go after them—"

"Did you cry?" His dad asks with a cold voice. I shook my head and stood tall.

"I'll run after him."

I did not wait for them to answer. I immediately make my way out of the condo's building and went to Shotaro's place. I was already all wet and tired by then. I even forgot to bring my car keys.

But before I could even make my way inside Taro's place, I was already told that Haechie's not there. Sungchan told me they did not go out together and that they left first because Taro didn't like us fighting. I apologized for that sincerely. I didn't mean to shout my heart out. I was just overwhelmed with mg own emotions.

"Then where could he be?" I ask myself. It's already getting late. The dark is already surrounding me.

He pretended. He knew. He heard us. He has an idea of us. He must've thought Mark will make it up with Renjun. He probably thinks that I'm also still inlove with Renjun. That's probably why he told me last night that I don't love him anymore.

Dang it!

I don't even have my own car and phone right now. I can't roam around the city easily. I also don't know where to start searching for him. My choices are too many and too wide.

I collapse in dismay, tugging my hair forward in frustration as well. What am I gonna do if he'll get hurt again? Where the fuck is that baby?

Maybe in school? Maybe back at home? Should I just walk around? What the hell should I do? Should I go home and bring my car to roam around?

While I was wandering around the sideway, a lady passes my way with a large baggage, calling a cab.

Airport…

Shit!

🧸

I wasn't wrong with my hunch. I found Haechie in the same place where I found him when we first met. He's still looks sad, gloomy and lost just like that night. But now, I exactly knew the reasons why.
