your problem not mine. you don't need to keep it hidden from me anymore. because this story affects everyone who knows about it." he snapped, pointing towards joshua.

"why didn't you come back sooner!?" he yelled, slamming his fist on joshua's hoodie covered shoulder.

"because i wasn't ready yet!! and i still am!!" joshua yelled, grabbing onto seojin's wrists tightly. seojin stopped and glared at joshua.

"then tell me! why were you fighting with that guy?! you were literally inches away from getting hit! why would you do something so stupid and reckless?! you idiot!" seojin yelled, letting himself lose control.

"i-i... i-i d-didn't know he w-was gonna-" seojin slapped joshua's chest harshly, cutting him off.

"of course you didn't know!! you didn't know he would dare say those horrible words to you!!" he shouted again, grabbing joshua's wrist again harshly before pulling him closer.

"you didn't even care enough about him to check first if there was someone with him. what did you expect? you should have trusted that someone wouldn't do anything! you don't even remember him! you've been gone almost two years! you should have come back earlier!"years! you should have come back earlier!" seojin screeched. joshua was silent. he stared blankly at seojin. seojin clenched his jaw and released joshua's arm from around his neck causing joshua to fall forward. joshua fell to the ground and slowly crawled backward before standing. seojin glared at him intensely before running over to joshua's side and picking up joshua bridal style. joshua held onto his arms tightly.

"let me put you down." seojin huffed before setting him down. joshua quickly walked over to an area away from seojin and hugged himself. seojin ran over and stood next to joshua. joshua pulled his knees to his chest and buried his face in between them before burying his face in the crook of his knees.

seojin sighed deeply before walking towards joshua and crouching down to joshua's level. "i'm sorry.. i didn't mean to yell like that. i know it must have hurt you." seojin said softly.

"no.... not really... it hurts, but i'm used to it... i mean, i haven't seen you guys since graduation... i'm just so mad... and i'm sorry." joshua mumbled softly. seojin gave him a soft smile. the end
