“Hey”
Hey? That’s all he has to say? It’s been at least two years since he suddenly broke off their relationship without explanation, and all he has to say is hey? “Hello” he says back with his eyes glued to the ground. The two stand there, in the middle of Taekwoon’s doorway, an awkward tension filling the air.
“I’m sorry”
“Why did you leave?” they say at the same time. Taekwoon finally brings his gaze up to read Wonshik’s expression as he rubs the back of his neck -something he would always do when something was troubling him- before the other male decided to speak again.
“Can I come in?” He wants to say no. Wants to slap him, and slam the door in his face, but he needs closure. Taekwoon nods and moves aside to make way for the other male to enter their once shared apartment. “I uh, like what you’ve done with the place” Wonshik comments as he goes to sit at the small dining table.
“It looks the exact same, don’t bullshit me Wonnie” the nickname slips out before he can catch himself. Luckily for him the other male doesn’t seem to notice -or doesn’t comment on it.
“S-sorry.” The older man grumbles out a ‘whatever’ and sits across from him, his arms folded over his chest. “How’ve you been?”
“Seriously?” Taekwoon huffs out a laugh “Well, my boyfriend, sorry scratch that ex-boyfriend has suddenly come back to me after leaving without a fucking explainaton. So at the moment, I’m pissed off and the urge to kick you out is rising”
Wonshik rubs his neck again “Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have asked that”
“Yeah”
“Look, Taekwoon, I still love y-”
“Oh don’t start spilling that out now.” he says angrily “Where the hell have you been? Why did you just leave? I need to know dammit!”
“I-,” He sighs “Please don’t be mad”
“No promises”
“Do you remember Sujee?”
Taekwoon raises an eyebrow “Your bitch ex-girlfriend?”
Wonshik nods looking down at the table with a frown “She found out about us,” Taekwoon’s face softens a bit, he knew what she was capable of and how she treated Wonshik when they were together. “Threatened to expose us. I-I, Taek, I couldn’t let her do that. Not to you, you run a business, you’d get backlash and I didn’t want to be the reason for it” The older looks at him with sympathy as he buries his face in his hands“I didn’t want to be a burden”
“Wonnie,” he says softly, getting up and kneeling beside him, placing a hand on his thigh “You know I’d never leave you. You were the light of my life, I’d put anything before you”
“That's why I left.” He looks at Taekwoon with glassy eyes, his bottom lip quivering slightly. As much as Taekwoon wants to know more, wants to know why he suddenly came back, why he never kept contact with him. For now, he’ll soothe his former lover, he can’t deny the fact that he still loves his sweet boy.
