Broken Growing And Not Dead 2
9. Meet Friends
“He's alive. His feet stepped on the ground, and my hands could touch his body. His face, smile, and smell were exactly like Baek Hyun. And that woman, Hana ... Hana is also there, by her side,” said Chanyoel fiery in front of his friends who look confused by the story. How not. The tall man appeared in front of his six best friends and without a preface conveyed an impossible-sounding story so violently. The suitcase he just put on the floor, while his backpack was thrown near Sehun.
"How is it possible? Did you take a photo with him?" Kai asked in disbelief.
"How could I have done that?! I was even very angry and disappointed at him!!"
"Don't you mistakenly recognize them. Could it be that they were just mirifs?"
"No!! It was really Baek Hyun and Hana."
"You talk to them?" Ask Suho.
"of course! If not, how could I possibly be this sorry!"
"Wuah .. You didn't take a picture with him, but you secretly recorded it" Sehun said, watching a video of Baek Hyun with Hana and the Hamlet children. I don't know when the phone is in Sehun's hands.
"Why are you checking my phone without permission!” Chanyoel shouted while trying to get his phone back. Sehun managed to avoid it while the six members immediately gathered to see the video. Chanyoel had no power to prevent them.
“This is really him? Baek Hyun is alive?” Xiumin asked reassuringly.
Their feelings fluttered as they watched the video. Their feelings become uncomfortable between sadness, sadness, and longing. Suho was unable to hold back his tears, so were Chen, and Sehun.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Chanyoel asked with an arrogant heart. "Is he the only one who doesn't accept Baek Hyun's treatment? How could they look so happy while being so emotional?"
"So you guys actually met and talked? How's things going? Is she okay?" Chen asked curiously.
"Of course he's fine. I even fainted after getting hit with a steel pot on my head.”
“He hit you?” Kai asked in surprise.
“Not! But Hana hit me.”
The six members seemed to hold back their laughter.
“What's funny!!”
“Hana hit you? Doesn't he know you? May she lose her memory again?!" Xiumin.
"I got into a fight with Baek Hyun and Hana suddenly attacked me from behind with that steel pot."
"You got into a fight with Baek Hyun?" Suho asked in surprise. "Why?!"
“DIA COVERED THIS ALL OF US! I was unable to control my emotions anymore, so I directly attacked him! Wait ... Am I the only one who's upset? Aren't you guys upset after he lied about his death?!”
"Aren't you grateful he's still alive and even living well?”
"BUT HE KEPT US IN RUIN ALL THIS TIME!! WE ARE SAD, SICK, AND WOUNDED. WE CRAWL, WAKE UP, AND FALL MANY TIMES OVER!! AND THE WOUND IS HONESTLY STILL NOT COMPLETELY HEALED HERE?" chanyoel shouted while hitting his own chest. Her crying could not hold her anymore.
"HOW ELSE DO YOU WANT?! YOU'RE THIS ANGRY TO SEE HIM ALIVE. DO YOU WANT HIM REALLY DEAD! WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT!" Suho snapped while standing looking at Chanyoel full of emotion.
"Please calm yourself," Sehun pulled Suho's hand back to sit down.
"Are you really his best friend?" Suho asked again while sitting down. The man was also unable to hold back his tears anymore.
Chanyoel fell silent with his tears continuing to break. He passed from the room to his dead comrades who were dissolved in each other's emotions.

“How? Did we go to him there?” Ask D.O to his colleagues to turn his day.
"I think we should go there to make sure of it" Chen said.
“What are you going there for. He has deliberately avoided forgetting all of us. Why do you still want to go to him." Sahut Chanyoel while enjoying his morning breakfast.
“I miss him,” replied Sehun short.
“Let's go there," said D.O while looking at Suho.
But the one who was asked was silent because he did not realize the question was directed at him. The man was still staring at the video of Baek Hyun with Hana and the Hamlet children.
“Step my corpse first!!” Threaten Chanyoel riled. Lucky words like passing from Suho's ears.
"What's wrong with you? If you don't like it, you don't have to take us" Chen said.
"So you want to just leave and leave me. Alrighty! Go then! Leave me alone!" chanyoel said as he left his breakfast at the table. Chen could only be bowed while frowning himself. While others can only be silent. They are not inexhaustible with Chanyoel's attitude. Is that as big as his disappointment?
***
Chanyoel awakens ...
The man squirmed to just stretch his muscles and bones. After being satisfied the mind of the man who was still foggy because of his sleepiness began to light up. He recalled his meeting with Baek Hyun in the Hamlet. The man then groped his own mattress to find his phone. He wants to see the video again.
Chanyoel also misses Baek Hyun. But disappointment still rules his feelings. He still could not accept and forgive his friend.
Chanyoel went from his bed to the kitchen to drink. Unlike usual, the room seemed quiet. Usually it is Suho and Xiumin who wake up early to just clean up. There were D.O and Chen who prepared breakfast, and Sehun who was lying on the sofa while fiddling with his phone. Chanyoel tried to ignore the atmosphere. The small debate yesterday still upset and disappointed him. The man sat on the couch and watched TV.
Silent...
There was no sound except the Tevision. His friends had not yet come out of his room. Could it be that they were also annoyed at him to avoid him like this? Or maybe some of them have gone out looking for food? Aren't they going to rest for the next 3 days?
The last thought that came up made Chanyoel's feelings start to get uncomfortable. The glass of drink that had been lifted and ready to be gulped the contents is now only stuck on his lips. He put the glass back while shaking his head and trying to throw away the thoughts that came. "That's impossible" he thought.
But the silence made him even more agitated.
“Akh ..” Chanyoel finally woke up from there. Curiosity makes him try to fight his own prestige to step towards Kai and D.O's room.. He tried to knock on the door, but there was no answer. Slowly he opened the door. But no one was in that room. Chanyoel knows for sure, Kai is the lazy member to wake up early. If D. O. disappeared that early. It could be that the man went out to buy kitchen necessities. Could he have taken Kai with him?
Chanyoel went to Suho and Sehun's room. The feeling of prestige he threw away. He first answered his curiosity rather than preparing an excuse if the two people in the room wondered the purpose of coming to the room.
The door was knocked, but there was no answer. Slowly he opened the door, but again he found no one there.
Now Chanyoel was more convinced by the thoughts that haunted him earlier. He rushed to Chen and Xiumin's room. Without knocking, the man immediately opened the door and entered into the room. But there's nobody there either. He rushed to the closet. It was obvious that the equipment to the two people was reduced to not even being in place. The suitcase they used to travel with disappeared. Sure enough, they actually went to die to see Baek Hyun as well as Hana.
Chanyoel sighed, squeezing his own head. Not like this should be either. At least they tried to seduce her and offer her to participate. He might even consider going there. This is beyond her expectations. He was left alone.
Chanyoel rushed to his room to pick up his phone. When he arrived at the door, he realized that there was a message in a piece of paper attached there.
Chanyoel stared at the wall clock, it was already 9:12.
"Yaiyish!!!"
There's no more time. The man only had time to pick up his phone, and his wallet. When running outside he still had time to reach for the jacket who knows whose jacket then rushed out driving his own car at high speed.
"Please get my car at the airport." Chanyoel still had time to send voice messages to his manager.
At 9:30 the man arrived at the airport and ran towards people queuing for ticket checks and others. Luckily, he found his friends.
The members were not able to hold their laughter again to see the condition of Chanyoel who was still wearing pajamas and feather sandals that are commonly used at home. Luckily he still had time to wear a jacket and cover his head with the hood of the jacket until no one recognized him.
“When passing metal is detected, the man who examined it seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter. Chanyoel's superior can still be saved, but his pants can not hide as well as his own. That day it was really shit. Why should he follow his friends. Chanyoel was inexhaustible with himself.
“Why did you guys go quietly,” the protest after sitting on the plane.
“We can't bear to see you die and step over before leaving, ” replied Sehun who sat behind Chanyoel.
“May no media see us today,” Please Chen who sits next to Chanyoel while smiling meaningfully.
“How long will we be there?” Ask Kai.
“About one hour. From there we will leave again using a rented car. Approximately 3 hours just arrived at the village, then we crossed again using a local fishing boat," explained Suho.
“Setiba in the city, we go to the shoe store first,” he continued again in greeting other members. Chanyoel was only speechless with his upset face.
“How Baek Hyun and Hana got that far,” Ask Kai again.
“Later we ask him,” Sehun replied while putting on his seat belt.
The plane took off as well.
*
“I also have to shower,” pinta Chanyoel after getting change of clothes and shoes.
“Do you think we're on vacation? The more we stop, the more people see us. If anyone recognizes us how?” Suho Sahut. “Replace your clothes in the car," he said again.
“It looks like the car has come.” said Kai as he looked at Chen who was talking to the car owner. Both appear to be making transactions. When he finished, Chen waved at his friends.
“Do you guys know the direction?” Ask Chanyoel.
“What is the use of GPS?” answer the D.O casually.
***
“True adventurers will never get lost,” Chen stretches his hands after arriving at the seafront. They left the car to one of the villagers. And now it will be ready to go to the hamlet that has been Baek Hyun's hiding place all this time.
Although it has looked as usual as possible, the 7 people still look striking among the villagers who passed by at the port.
“You are from the city?” Ask one of the residents who will take them across the street.
“Yes, we are indeed from the city. We want to visit a small hamlet that he said was once the location of the artist's filming,” Anksi Sehun friendly.
“Oh ..." The owner of the ship nodded. "The village is much more advanced since the arrival of a couple there. They along with the villagers built an inn on the hill. That's where the people doing the filming stayed. Chances are you guys I'm staying there too.”
“Pair husband and wife? Ask Suho.
“Yes, now his wife takes care of the inn.”
Chanyoel smiled wryly. He knew the couple he meant. In his heart he actually hoped they would have a hard time meeting Baek Hyun. If that happens, then his six best friends will whine at him to be a guide. And he could act arbitrarily after they dared to refute him, even having the heart to leave him. Not to mention he had to set out in a hurry with the most miserable appearance. But unfortunately reality is exactly the opposite of his expectations.
“Let's go up, I'll take you there. No one gets seasick, right?”
“We will be fine” replied D.O.
***
The journey takes less than 30 minutes. They arrived at the coast whose scenery was amazingly beautiful. The 6 people who had just set foot there looked stunned by the sight.
Some of the children of Hamlet ran up to them just to see the people up close. The members were as friendly as possible to the children. Suho took out the snack he brought and gave it to the children earlier.
"Wah .. uncle came again." Welcome the children who are just realizing Chanyoel's presence there.
"Are they uncle's friends?"
"Uncle will work here again?" Ask the boys to Chanyoel.
“We want to meet our friends. Her names are Hana and Baek Hyun. Do you know him?" Suho preceded answering the children's questions.
"There's no one named Baek Hyun here, but we know Hana's aunt."
"Are they a couple?" Ask Kai.
"Yes, aunt Hana's husband's name 'Rain'”.
"So these uncles were his friends uncle Rain and aunt Hana."
"Yes, we're his friends. Can you take us there?"
"Of course." Answer the children with spirit.
Suho and his friends except Chanyoel seemed to smile with relief. They had not experienced any difficulty even though they had never set foot in the area. Accompanied by the children of the Hamlet, they continued their journey. Behind looked Chanyoel following with an uninspired feeling at all.
"My heart's pounding? Do you feel it too?" Chen asked as he looked at his friends.
"Me too" replied Xiumin.
"I don't think I believe I'm going to see Baek Hyun again" Sehun said, staring at the street in front of him.
In their minds each began to imagine what their meeting would be like? Will it be like Baek Hyun and Hana welcome them? Just like Chen, the other Xiumin members also felt the same pounding. Except for Chanyoel who was still irritated, also the Dusun children who looked happy to deliver the strangers.
