Happy Reading's...
•
It was quite late when I got back into the house. With heavy steps Hyuji passed through the dimmer that welcomed his arrival. His grip carried a piece of paper with capital letters and thick at the top.
DIVORCE FILING LETTER.
Hyuji felt his breath go down with trembling pupils and trembling palms. It is still clear how a few minutes ago, John pulled himself to lean on that sturdy shoulder. Asking him to always laugh even though their lives were both inversely proportional to reality.
Unable to endure the chest pain any longer, Hyuji lashed out a punch several times with a clenched palm. Hope the pain goes with the breath that blows. But nil, everything is still the same, it feels so painful.
If only John knew Hyuji's true state, perhaps, the man would not hesitate to tear the sheet of paper in front of Hyuji. But he doesn't, Hyuji chooses another option by letting John know nothing about it. Because Hyuji was sure, no matter how hard he tried to come back, as hard as that storm would separate the two. Hyuji had given up because he had been unwanted from the beginning.
Hyuji slumped on the floor, stunned under the dim that still carried the speck of happiness he had just obtained from the person who filled Hyuji's heart space.
I hope you accept this decision Hyu!
The voice came back. How John said softly while thrusting the sheet of paper. Ask him to leave a signature on the stamped paper.
You just need to come at the last trial! I will make things easier for all the process, as I also started to get busy after this Hyu! Mama gave me a company to run!
Painful.
"Why did it end this way? " his groan in tears.
Hyuji tau, parting will be the best option. But he never expected that the fear and pain of accepting reality felt much more terrible than he expected.
Since childhood, Hyuji has always received more attention than his two brothers, receiving unusual affection from all family members, which is why Hyuji has a slightly spoiled nature.
Unlike the reality of his life as an adult so heavy. Trying to be strong and strong feels even more difficult when there is no one beside him.
"Mother." call her in a raucous voice.
***
John settles down on an expensive soft sofa in his apartment. Still remembered how Hyuji's expression when he received the divorce papers.
John bent his arms over his forehead, partially covering his face and eyes, breathing roughly as he felt the weight on both his shoulders growing heavier as he returned to Seoul without Hyuji.
It might be more reassuring if Hyuji gave her permission to stay overnight and meet Hyuji's first brother and explain the strange situation that was going on between her and Hyuji the next day. Hyuji's first brother's hopes will provide the best way out but farewell, but Hyuji will not let that happen and forces John to return to Seoul immediately.
"You're stubborn, Hyu... "
There was no other choice because John saw the earnestness of both of Hyuji's beads. He knew the girl was depressed and tried to cover everything up.
There are a lot of call notifications and messages that go into the phone. Two of them are from JiEun.
Suddenly the phone shakes surprised him. The mother's name appears on the phone's display. John clucked a little uncomfortable, but in the end he received the call.
"Eummmm... "
"Where have you been? Why can't you contact me all day?! "
"I had an appointment with an old friend of Mam's, and I just got home! "
"Friends? Wh who? Not that woman, is it? "
John closed his mouth for a moment, wondering why his mother never once wanted to mention Hyuji by name.
"Yes! I met him! "
"What's? John's! Mama told you not to see that woman because you're getting married to JiEun! "
John growled, his jaw tightening. His heart felt like a geranat ready to explode at any moment.
"Mam, please don't force me to accept the matchmaking that mama lakuka—"
"No! You will soon be married to JiEun! "
For some reason, John grew tired of hearing the compulsion of his own mother.
"Mom! Please, don't force me like a child! I haven't even officially parted ways with Hyuji yet! Why is it that now Mama is forcing me to marry JiEun noona*, whereas I no longer have any feelings for her! "
"So you want mama to do something to that woman who's been ensnaring you?! "
Suddenly, John opened his two manics wide. "Mom! Don't use Hyuji as a weapon to weaken me! I have feelings for you too, and so does Hyuji! At least mama appreciates Hyuji's feelings despite not appreciating your own son's feelings!"
Silent for a moment, John could guess if his mother was currently stringing another absurd idea with her arrogant expression.
"Then follow your mother's words and marry JiEun! "
"Ah, whatever mama! I'm tired! "
John ended his call unilaterally, not wanting to extend the conversation with his mother. Then he returned to nullifying his cell phone, throwing it hard on the table as an outburst of resentment and anger.
"Married? Mama is really outrageous! How could he force me to marry, whereas I have no feelings whatsoever and still be bound by a sacred promise with someone else!" he muttered while shaking faintly.
John stared out through the stretch of glass that became the wall of the apartment. Dark, that's all he found out there. Then, Hyuji's shadow slipped back into his mind. Making John again conclude an arch of smile. "What should I do now Hyu? I'm completely ruined now! You don't need to know how broken I am, you don't need to know how much I love you, but I hope you can wait for my promise! "[]
