~Shownu~

I was very tired from the training yesterday, today is another day of suffering.

I looked at my phone and it's already 12nn, I'm felt relieved when I remembered that we have no classes today.

I hopped in the shower and rushed to wear my clothes.

I grabbed my phone and ran down to our living room. I ran outside, I hurried to get to our training center on time.

When I got there, I was just in time.

They made us changed our clothes and ran back to the pool.

We trained for hours and hours until we were exhausted.

I didn't know what time it was because the last time I looked at my phone was when I looked at the time when I woke up.

I didn't have time to search the internet or even message my friends.

I was resting on the bench when I saw notifications pop-up on my phone.

It was missed calls from all of my friends except Kihyun.

I wonder what's they were calling about.

I was about to call them back but then I heard our coach calling us for another round of training.

We trained for another hour until the coach decided to send us back home.

He allowed us to rest on the weekends so we can spend time with them.

I got back home after an exhausting day and went straight to the bedroom.

I have no intention of eating, all I want to do is rest.

I was on Instagram when I run into a post of Jooheon.

I found it strange that he posted a photo of him and Kihyun, he barely posts selfies because it ruins his Instagram aesthetic.

I don't know why jealousy came. They're just friends, right?

I scrolled further on Instagram and I run across another post of Jooheon with Kihyun.

In some posts, Minhyuk is in it but mostly it's Kihyun and Jooheon.

I was very tired, I have no energy to deal with this jealousy.

I woke up the next day, I feel so tired but I can't go back to sleep.

I decided that I'm going to see Kihyun today.

I went to Minhyuk's house because I know that Kihyun doesn't stay in his own house.

I walked to their porch and rang the doorbell.

I was expecting to see Kihyun but Minhyuk was the one who answered the door.

"Shownu?"

"Oh, hello Minhyuk, do you know where's Kihyun?"

"He's not here."

"Do you think that he's in his job?" I asked

"No, today is his day-off."

"Where is he?"

"In his house"

"Is his parents home?"

"No, he's all alone."

"Okay, thank you"

I ran to Kihyun's house and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps walking down the stairs.

Someone opened the door and quickly closed it when the person saw me.

I didn't see his face but I know that it's Kihyun.

How? Simple. Height.

I tried knocking on the door multiple times but he ignored me. I tried opening the door but it was locked.

I didn't have anything to do so I returned to Minhyuk.

"What happened?" he asked.

"He locked me out."

"Do you know why?" he sat down beside me and gave me a glass of water.

"I don't know."

"Oh......no"

"What why?"

"You did something wrong."

"Something wrong? I didn't do anything, I was training for the whole week." I tried to defend myself.

"And that's the problem."

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand what he meant.

"Do you remember something important that you should have been to?" he questioned.

"No, I don't remember anything."

"You have to remember it."

I tried to remember, I went down memory lane and realized that I messed up.

"Oh.....no......I didn't attend the contest."

"Yeah, we tried calling you."

That's what the missed calls are for.

"If it was me who didn't watch him perform, he would be okay with it but it was you, he seemed so affected about it and they won but you didn't even congratulate them.

"Oh really?"

I didn't know what to do, how could I fix this?

"Do you have a key to his house?"

"I have a spare key, I'll help you this time but only this time."

"Thank you"

We went back to Kihyun's house, Minhyuk used the key to open the door. We searched around the first floor but we couldn't find Kihyun.

We went upstairs, I found his room. We tried opening it but it was locked.

"Kihyun?" I tried knocking on the door.

"L-leave me alone." I can hear him sobbing on the other side of the door.

I feel so bad, I forgot about it.

"Please Kihyun, talk to me. I'm sorry"

"JUST leave"

I was so guilty of what I did. I didn't want him to be like this.

I went downstairs, followed by Minhyuk who tried to make Kihyun open the door.

"Give him some space, he'll forget about it."

"Okay"

"He doesn't want to talk to me so please take care of him."

"Of course I will"

"Thank you"

I left their neighborhood and went to Jooheon.

I realized that his posts were when they were practicing for the event.

"Where were you? We have been calling you all day"

"I know, I messed up. Now I don't know what to do."

"Let me tell you this, I have been friends with him for years and nothing have affected him so much. Minhyuk told me that he doesn't leave his room, he only leaves to eat and nothing else."

"How can I fix this?"

"I don't know, I haven't been in this situation before. But you changed him."

"Changed him?"

"Yes, he doesn't act cold to you. Did you do something that made his heart melt?"

I thought of something I did, I know what's the best thing to do.

"Oh my......thank you, thank you, thank you."

I was about to leave his house when I remembered something.

"Oh right, congratulations."

"Thanks"

"When are you two going to practice?"

"I don't know, maybe next month. Our art teacher told us that after the schedule for the competition is announced, the day after will be the deadline for the project."

"I'll send cakes, ice creams, and pizzas later."

I ran outside his house and went back to mine, I tried to think of a perfect idea to make him accept my apology.
