New Rules | Choi Yeonjun TXT

²³ Last Minute Plans

Was it anxiety?
The waves?
Was Yeonjun okay?

The door suddenly opened as you expected it to be Taehyung or Namjoon.

Instead, Yeonjun appeared, clothes soaked and hair drenched with rain.

"You're leaving tonight?" He sadly questions.

You ushered him out of the room after grabbing a spare blanket that was left on the counter.

Your seniors understood the general gist of the situation and entered Beomgyu's room to leave the two of you alone in the hallway.

"Bundle up, you'll catch a cold. How did you know I was here?" You ask, wrapping the blanket around him.

The pulsating vibrations from the monitor slowed down and loss intensity when you touched him.

"I'll answer your question if you answer mine."

You sighed at his stern yet nervous expression.
It was times like this where you feared whether or not he could hear you; collecting your thoughts and trying to find the right words.

"Yes, I'm leaving tonight. The company thought-" Your face is met with Yeonjun's chest as he pushes you into a hug.

"Jun you're all wet." You whine as he wraps his arms around your body.

"I can talk to them, we'll figure something out. They can't just kick you out so abruptly, right? We were supposed to tour the city and rehearse our choreo, we still need check ups on our wave monitors.." Yeonjun stammers on, grasping at any string he can.

The familiar ringing creeps up on you once more, indicating that Yeonjun was experiencing a possible soul breakage.

It was frightening seeing how panicked he was, how almost dependent he's become on the soulbond.

You couldn't blame him. Your worlds were turned upside-down in only a span of a week.
Finding out you have another person to consider, someone who makes you feel whole.

"We'll be okay Jun. Sometimes it's okay to stop wasting your energy for fights you can't win. Direct that energy into something better." Your hands cupped his face.

"What's better than this?" Yeonjun moves your hands away from his face and holds them.

"Your entire career? You have a comeback to focus on."

"That's.. That's different! There's a line between idol and personal life."

"What about me Yeonjun?" You tilted your head.

"You said you'd support me regardless. I need to finish my semester and spend as much time as I can in the U.S. before I move here permanently."

"I can't support your reckless decisions!"
You went wide-eyed, speechless at his outburst.

"Fuck I'm sorry, I don't mean reckless I just.. I didn't want you to leave without saying goodbye, at least."

i didn't want you to worry.

"You're right.. about the goodbye. I'm sorry." You mumbled, breaking eye contact with him.

Your fellow trainees at JYPE always considered you the sensitive type, which wasn't always a bad thing.

You easily sympathized with others and could read people whenever they needed support. But you also got hung up on small slip ups and outbursts: everything went straight to heart.

Yeonjun goes to hug you once again, but senses your stiffness and silence.

"Are you mad at me?"

"A little."

"I'm sorry for calling you reckless."

"This isn't my decision to make. Neither is it yours. I fucked up, I have to face the consequences."

Taehyung and Namjoon enter the hall before Yeonjun can respond.

"Dr. Hwang wants you both back at the company before you leave, Y/N." Namjoon says.

"How'd you get here Yeonjun?" Taehyung asks.

"I ran."

"Yah! Why would you do that for? You could've gotten hurt or mobbed! You should know better-" Your brain tunes out as the hyungs scold Yeonjun before heading back to the company.
