Taehyun was standing in front of the boxing academy . " This place hasn't changed a bit " he muttered as he looked around . " Oh Mr what are you doing here ? " a guy asked and Taehyun looked at him .
" I'm just looking for someone , where's Heera ? She is the coach's daughter , where can I find her ?" Taehyun asked and the guy raised his eyebrows . " Heera ? Probably she should be on a date with that bastard " the guy said smirking . " Who ?" Taehyun asked back .
" Jung Gangtae " the guy said and Taehyun was taken back . His blood was boiling hearing his name making him clench his fists tight . " From when are those two dating ?" Taehyun questioned .
" I'm not sure about that but you should know that Gangtae is the star here , even the coach listens to whatever he says , no one is above him " the guy said as he pat Taehyun's shoulders and walked passed him . Taehyun stood their clueless and turned back when the guy called him.
" I'm going to my boxing academy , do you wanna join ? You look like a boxer tho " the guy asked and Taehyun looked at him nonchalantly . " Doesn't seem like a bad idea , I'll come with you " Taehyun said as he moved out with him .
The academy was right in the next lane to the earlier one so they went by a walk . It was quite a small one compared to his previous academy . " FIGHTING Academy ?" he read it loudly and the guy chuckled . " It's my cousin who named it , let's go in " he said smiling and Taehyun went inside .
The guy turned on the lights and arranged the equipments while Taehyun took a walk around . " Why is this place empty ?" Taehyun questioned . " Because it's Saturday , we are usually on leave at weekends . We have a private life too bruh " the guy said and he nodded .
" Btw what's your name ? " Taehyun asked as he remembered they didn't introduce themselves . " I'm Kim Mingyu , and you are right here at my Academy , I'm the trainer here " Mingyu said and Taehyun bowed at him . " Oh Sorry I didn't knew that , I'm Kang Taehyun , CEO of Kang Entertainment " Taehyun introduced himself giving a handshake to Mingyu.
" I know you Taehyun , I've seen you in a lot of magazines . Budding Entrepreneur of the Year , weren't you one of the winners in that ?" Mingyu asked making Taehyun surprised . " Yeah but how did you know ?" Taehyun asked with his big eyes widened more .
" My boyfriend Wonwoo is also one of the winners , that's how I knew " Mingyu said and Taehyun gasped . " Aah Jeon Wonwoo ? He's your boyfriend ? I listened to his speech too , he's really good " Taehyun said smiling . " Afcourse he's my smart boyfie " Mingyu said smiling proudly .
" Hyung are you talking to yourself there ? When did you-- oh Hi " Chan was blabbering and paused when he saw Taehyun . Taehyun looked at him in shock while Chan was looking at him too .
" Yaa I'm not talking to myself . Btw Taehyun , he's Lee Chan aka Dino , the cousin I was talking about . He's the assistant trainer here " Mingyu said as he wrapped his shoulders around Dino .
" Yah Kang Taehyun , you haven't changed a bit " Dino said smiling . " But you have changed a lot Dino hyung " Taehyun said smiling as he slid his hands into his pocket . " Wait you guys know each other ?" Mingyu questioned .
" Hyung we studied in the same college . You remember Yeonjun ? My bestie during college days , Taehyun is his friend . Also we used to hangout at the gym during those days , we were Gym Buddies " Dino said and Mingyu gasped .
" Yeah he is right . I'm quite surprised to see you again " Taehyun said . " I also can't believe Taehyun is back at Boxing Academy after that incident . You are finally fighting back ?" Dino asked and Taehyun sighed looking away .
" He is . I don't know whatever happened in the past . But now I seriously want this guy to be in our Academy . You look like a Star to me already , are you willing Taehyun shi ?" Mingyu asked and Taehyun pressed his lips out of nervousness .
What if I end up like that in past ? Can I prove my innocence this time ? These were the things that were running in his mind right now . But he knows he ain't going back after stepping in already .
" Sure , I'll join here " Taehyun said smiling making the other two smile too.

" Thank you , visit us once more " Soobin said as he waved at the customer leaving . " Oh that guy looks so handsome , Should I ask him out ?" the girl cooed as she walked out . " Don't even try , that guy is already mine " Kai said as he winked at Soobin and making the girls embarrased .
" Kai stop playing around " Soobin said as he leaned over the counter . " Hyung I'm just protecting you , a handsome brother like you should be under my watch all time " Kai said as he leaned over on the frame too.
" It's the opposite crackhead , I should be the one protecting you " Soobin said as he flicked Kai's forehead making Kai laugh . " Haneul shi said you went out today , what did you do ? " Soobin asked wiping the table where Kai sat .
" I just roamed around , it was so refreshing . I ate a lot of good stuff , met a lot of good places , I just enjoyed myself " Kai said smiling . " Oh that's good , that smile on your face says something else , did you meet anyone interesting ?" Soobin asked smirking .
Kai smiled as he remembered his encounter with Chanmi earlier . A smile creeped over his face at her thought and Soobin caught him . " Aaah you're blushing ? Hyuka tell me what happened today , you can't escape from me " Soobin said tickling Kai .
" I'll tell you Soobin hyung , now bring me something to drink I'm starving " Kai said and Soobin gave him a thumbs up as he went inside . He came out with two chocolate milkshakes and handed over one to Hyuka as he sat facing him .
" So I was walking through the market and at that restaurant .." Kai explained all the incidents till Chanmi left him to meet her friend . " Yah did you even get her number ?" Soobin asked and Kai shook his head .
" I haven't seen a fool like you , you clearly liked her at first sight and didn't even exchanged your social media accounts ? Aigoo what am I gonna do with you Hueningie ?" Soobin said facepalming making Kai laugh .
" Hyung don't be dramatic . How can I like someone without knowing anything about them ? It was just a good conversation " Kai said and Soobin looked at him with wdym look . " Hueningie that's how love stories start , you haven't seen dramas ? Who knows she might actually be your soulmate ! " Soobin said exclaiming .
" Hyung hyung that's enough . Calm down . If I ever meet here again , I'll admit we are made for eachother . Got it ?" Kai said sipping his drink .
" Park Chanmi ? Why does the name sound familiar ? " Soobin thought to himself as he had his milkshake .
-------------------------------------------------------------
" OMG how you do like that ? " I was humming to myself as I walked around the house . " LONEly Boy sTayIng LONely , he ain't my ONe and only " Yeonjun sang as he stepped inside the house stumbling to keep his next step .
I saw Yeonjun stumbling and quickly went to catch him from falling down . " Oh Oh Yeonjun what the hell ? Why are you drunk like this ?" I asked as I tried to make him stand properly . " AAhh Attorney Choi ? YOu are Not ASleep yet ? WHere's your DEar husbAnd ?" he asked with a smug smile .
" Yeonjun it's just 10 p.m . And you come and sit here first " I said as I put him on sofa and sighed loudly . " Let me get you a hangover drink " I said and turned but Yeonjun held my wrist . " Sit here please " Yeonjun said patting the seat next to him and I followed his instructions .
" Haneul shi , have you ever regretted loving someone ? To the point that you hate yourself ?" Yeonjun asked suddenly surprising me . " No Yeonjun , I did hate myself at many situations but I didn't regret loving anyone , why do you ask suddenly ?" I asked him and he looked at me with his half awaken eyes .
" Because I do , day by day I realise how stupid I was . I just spoiled my life myself , I made myself a joker " Yeonjun said smiling but I could see he was hiding a lot of pain in that smile . " Yeonjun I don't know about your past . But it's never too late , you are amazing and you can live perfectly now " I said and he held my hands .
" You think so ? I hate myself and distanced my parents away , I made my friend Taehyun look down on me . I made my own brother hate me , to the core he thinks I'm his greatest enemy " Yeonjun said and his eyes teared up while talking about Beomgyu .
" It's never my intention to hate him , but why are we like this ? I really hate this , I want answers Haneul shi " Yeonjun said sobbing suddenly and my eyes teared up unconsciously too .
" I hate myself so much " Yeonjun said still sobbing and I hugged him rubbing circles on his back . " Yeonjun you won't even remember this tomorrow but let me say it , you are a good human when you realise your mistakes . You should talk with your family to resolve this misunderstandings , please don't be harsh on yourself " I said as I patted his head .
The feeling was new to me since it was Yeonjun . The boy just acts all tough outside but he's soft as cotton inside . I didn't knew he was having his own problems to deal with , I just wished the boy could be more open about his feelings when he's sober too .
Soobin and Kai entered the house and were shocked at the sight in front of them . " What happened ? Yeonjun hyung are you okay ?" Kai asked as he saw Yeonjun lying unconscious on the sofa with me carresssing his head .
" He's just drunk Hyuka . Don't worry " I said assuring him . " Did he cry ? His eyes are so puffy , he looked fine when I met him earlier " Soobin asked worried about the guy lying down . " He did , he cried a lot . Something must have disturbed him , triggering his past " I said everything and Soobin's expression changed .
Soobin remembered his earlier encounter with Yeonjun . He remember asking him why he didn't do anything even though he shined at his academics . That must have triggered his past memories . He felt guilty as he looked at Yeonjun's state .
" Soobina and Hyuka , just take him slowly and put him on his bed carefully . And go get some sleep , you guys should be tired " I said and the two boys nodded .
I looked at Yeonjun one last time before walking outside . " Was he in any relationship in the past ? What really happened to these three ? This seems to be more serious than I assumed it to be " I thought as I plugged in my earpods .
-----------------------------------------------------------
Soobin and Kai took him slowly upstairs and tuck the boy into the bed . Hyuka removed his shoes while Soobin pulled up the bedsheet for Yeonjun . Kai left later leaving the two alone . Soobin sat beside Yeonjun and looked at the elder's face .
" Yeonjun hyung I didn't hurt you right ? I feel really bad now . Please don't be in pain like this " Soobin said as he carassed Yeonjun's face . He took time to admire Yeonjun's sharp yet unique features , he looked really handsome .
" I'll see you later , Good night " Soobin whispered before turning the lights off and leaving the room . He saw Taehyun get into his room and shrugged his shoulders before going to his own room .
It was not only Haneul who listened to Yeonjun but also Taehyun . He was hearing everything and his eyes teared up as he remembered the days when everything was fine between them .
" Yeonjun , you're really late . You should have listened to me earlier , you did this all to yourself . I warned about this , you'll regret things later . But you chose to believe that bastard and that stupid cousin of yours , only if you knew their real evil selves " Taehyun muttered as he clenched his fist .
" You should apologize hyung , not to me , but atleast to your Beomgyu . Your dear brother , and he should do the same . I've been waiting for that day for the past two years " Taehyun thought to himself .
