Chapter 42: Hurtful truth

"HYUKA!! NING NING!! YEONJUN HYUNG!! HEY, YEONJUN-AH!! AREN'T YOU GUYS AT HOME? OPEN THE DOOR OR ELSE I'M GONNA BREAK THE DOOR!" Hyuningkai woke up after hearing the loud voice of Beomgyu who kept knocking at the door and shouting. He didn't want to leave the bed yet but he couldn't take the loud sound anymore. He sat down and stretched his arms and finally left the bed. His eyes were half opened and his messy hair could make anyone understand that he just woke up.

"COMING!" Kai wanted to shout but his broken voice wasn't that loud so Beomgyu didn't hear it and kept knocking. HyuKa rubbed his eyes while coming downstairs and finally went to the door. He opened the door but wasn't prepared to get yelled at by Beomgyu.

"HEY! WERE YOU DEAD OR WHAT? WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO OPEN THE DAMN DOOR? AH! My legs! It's hurting after waiting for such a long time!" Beomgyu went inside while kept complaining.

"Hm! Sorry!" HyuKa just replied with a very low and sleepy voice.

"Why are you guys all making such noise this early morning?" Yeonjun also came while rubbing his eyes.

"Hyung! You were at home? I thought you had left already." HyuKa said and seeing Yeonjun he got sober all of a sudden.

"Why'd I leave? And where?" Yeonjun made a mocking face and chuckling at Beomgyu he went upstairs again.

"Eh? I thought you would always leave home early in the morning..." HyuKa mumbled and scratched his head as he was confused. If Yeonjun doesn't leave home, then where did he spend his time? Kai was sure that he didn't stay home.

"Oy! I'm going to shower first. I'm stinking and then I'll rest in my room today. Don't disturb me, get it!" Beomgyu ordered Hyuningkai. In reply HyuKa just smiled and nodded. Beomgyu also went upstairs but he peeked at Yeonjun's room. He really wasn't there.

"Then where did he go? Maybe on the terrace?" Beomgyu made a confused face but didn't bother to go and find Yeonjun. But he understood that Yeonjun just wanted to avoid HyuKa. He took a long breath and went inside his room.

Soobin was lying on his bed though his eyes were wide open. He was so worried about what Beomgyu said to him earlier. It wasn't intentional but he hurt that fluffy boy too much this time. How'd he fix the things between them this time? What if Beomgyu has a misunderstanding about Soobin? And he would never talk with him for the rest of his life? Won't it be great? He never wanted to have someone who'd care for him. But why does it hurt so much when he thinks of losing him? Why is it becoming like this? Moreover, he never cared about people's feelings nor did he care about how they would hate him. But why does he feel so bad, so uncomfortable, so guilty when Beomgyu said he was hurt earlier. And why is he so scared of whether Beomgyu would hate him or not? Soobin was so confused that he didn't know what he should do next.

"Hyung! Please tell me what to do. Why am I becoming like this? Why can't I control my feelings? I've been losing all the precious things in my life. But still I'm afraid of losing something. Why? Am I not used to it yet?" Soobin remembered the first precious things he lost when he was four. It was a hedgehog. So small, so cute, so adorable. His dad bought the little things for him when he was two. But after two years his dad suddenly ordered him to kill that hedgehog with his own hands. Soobin was so afraid as he had a deep bond with the little thing. But he was more afraid of his dad. So, he had no other choice but to kill it. He cried right after killing it but it was of no use. His tiny friend wasn't gonna come back to him anymore. Though he killed Odi, his dad still punished him because he cried. He forgot about the incident long ago but when he remembered about it, tears were falling from his eyes and he couldn't stop them from falling.

"Oy, winter! Come on! Let's race till the edge. Whoever would come back first got to eat the passion fruit." Karina said.

"Hey! But I climbed the tree and took it so isn't it obvious that it belongs to me?" Beomgyu replied while pouting.

"It's unfair! You know I can't climb trees! Ah! You should've taken another one for me." Karina also pouted and said.

"Okay, let's swim but if we go to the other corner of the river then how'd we take the fruit together?" Beomgyu was confused while asking.

"Um....then..... Let's swim to that boat and come back. Whoever comes back first will be the winner." Karina smirked as if she'd definitely win.

"Okay, don't regret it if I win." Beomgyu whispered in Karina's ear.

"Huh! As if!" Karina smirked again since she was a good swimmer. Both the girls took off their clothes and jumped into the water. As expected, Karina was the winner and she took her trophy gladly and proudly which was just a fruit. She bit it while mocking her friend who just lost the game. But her friend wasn't a person who'd accept her walloping so easily. She came to her friend and whispered into her ears,

"Both of us are winners. So we should share the trophy, what do you say?" Karina stopped for a while and looked at her. Her slim body was shining under the sun as if someone just drew her.

"How?" Karina asked and put the rest of the fruit in her mouth since she was trying to bully her. But who knew that the girl with the trophy would be the one who got bullied? Winter held her chin, making her look at her and then kissed her lips which tasted just like the fruit.

Right after that moment, Karina pushed her away and got angry on her. It's not that she didn't enjoy the kiss but she never imagined her closest friend would do something like that to her and she'd have a strange feeling for her. She was so confused but so stunned together that she didn't know what she should do. She ran away from that place leaving her friend all alone.

Beomgyu opened his eyes and noticed his eyes were wet because of tears. He wiped his eyes and looked around. There was nothing that changed in this room but suddenly he felt so empty. He sat down on the bed. He needed some water and that's why he was gonna stand up but suddenly his head started hurting so badly that he wasn't able to move but to press his head with his hands. He tried to shout but no sound came from his mouth as if he was mute. At the same time he remembered who Karina was. She was the most precious person in his life. No matter what he did, she always stayed beside him. She was the reason he could understand his true feelings. But the day he was gonna confess his feelings towards her, both of them were abducted and she sacrificed herself to save him.

"No! That's not true! She's still alive! I know she'll be there! They didn't kill her, right? I promised her to go back to her and save her. She should be there!" Beomgyu suddenly spoke though he didn't know why he was saying those things. But his cheeks got wet by his tears and he covered his face with his palm. Slowly his headache started reducing and he was feeling at ease though his chest was hurting at the same time. Beomgyu took his phone and called someone. The person whom he called picked up the call as soon as his phone rang.

"Hyung! Tell me the truth. I-I.....w-was a g-girl, right?" Beomgyu asked. But the person wasn't speaking for some time.

"Hello! Hyung? Namjoon hyung?" Beomgyu repeated his questions. After some time, Namjoon replied and sighed,

"Yes, You are right."
