That night was supposed to be calm. He had promised Wooyoung he'd rest, promised San he wouldn't overthink. No matter how much he tries the fear never fails to come to him .
Sleep never came to him . It came and went like flickers of light each time Yeosang closed his eyes, something darker filled the silence.
The apartment was too quiet without the sound of the couple's soft bickering in the background. Too still, too unfamiliar. His heart raced for no reason he could name.
He turned over, clutching the blanket tight against his chest, but the air felt heavy. Every creak of the floor made him flinch; every faint buzz of his phone made his stomach twist.
What if his ex found him again? What if San and Woo got hurt because of him? What if he really was the burden that voice in his head kept calling him?
Yeosang had never dared to turn against his bf no matter how fucked up things got ,no matter how badly injured he got . Worse of all ,no matter how much hurt he got ,how he allowed someone to make him believe that he really is a waste of breath .
His breath started coming too fast, his palms damp with sweat. His thoughts spiraled memories of being told he was nothing without him, of being shoved away by parents who looked at him like he'd done something unholy. His chest ached as if the shame of that night never left.
He pressed a trembling hand over his mouth to keep from making noise. He didn't want to wake them. He didn't want to need anyone again.
But he did.
He sat like that for what felt like hours-knees to his chest, staring at the dark, trying to breathe through the noise in his mind. When exhaustion finally pulled him under, it wasn't peaceful. It was the kind of sleep that came after a storm, heavy and hollow, the kind that only ended when daylight forced its way in.
Yeosang slept like a log maybe his body catching up all the exhaustion finally and shutting itself down . Feeling it in his every bone a deep sleep .
Yeosang was sleeping so warmly when a sudden loud noise of knocking made him jolt under the blanket to sit up , the frantic movement made his head dizzy as he groaned while clutching to his head
The knock came again . He ignored it for a couple of times wanting whoever was it to give up but the person seemed reluctant about making yeosang's ears bleed and make head ache worse .
Yeosang got up with another groan as he got up grumbling under his breath his dark beautiful hairs sticking up in different directions face soft and pale pink shade spread across his cheeks with warmthness of the blanket.
He opened the door with annoyed expression rubbing his eyes with one hand facing a random guy with luggage who was in middle of calling someone .
The stranger stood froze as he took yeosang's state and cut the call , after what yeosang assumed the person to say something but nothing came from him .
Yeosang tried to sound a polite as he can as he asked hoarse from all the crying before sleeping and sleep itself
"How can I help you?" His voice somehow sounded deep hoarse from sleep which made him clear his throat
"Does Choi San live here ?" He asked nervously after a moment , looking around to maybe ensure that he's at right address.
"Yes, but he's not here right now if you have any message for him I'll let him know"
The stranger frowned with shiny boba eyes "I'm Choi jongho-as his brother , hyung was supposed to pick me up ,is everything alright do you know where he is " Jongho asked worriedly but added "who are you ?" As he again gave yeosang's appearance a look over
Yeosang has always been with strangers so he fumbled as his mind was catching all of the words that were coming from that guy's mouth.
"I-uh I'm his boyfriend's best friend and his too ,apparently" he finally muttered out .
"Wooyoung hyung's?" The stranger asked with such affectione in his eyes at the mention of wooyoung .
"..yeah" ..
He had heard about jongho in passing from San that his younger brother is studying in Europe but he should've given heads up about him coming.
Let alone that sweet mountain himself might've forgotten as jongho said that he was supposed to pick him up . Now he has put that poor jongho in trouble just because of his recklessness.
Jongho cleared his throat indicating that he need to come inside as he's been standing with ton of luggage in a hallway
