♤eric sohn♤

as the night went on, i made my way to chaewon’s room in silence, but i was quick. even if sangyeon was threatening, i wasn't scared of him. i knew he needed me to recover quickly, so he won't dare to make juyeon torture me. as i got closer to my destination, i stuffed my hands in my pockets.

the room was at the end of the corridor, and when i got there, i knocked on the door.

"it's eric!" i claimed and let my hand fall by my waist, waiting for an answer from her.

"you can come in!" except it wasn't chaewon’s voice, but chanhee's. i looked around myself before carefully opening the door. not so wide though, just enough for me to slide through it.

chaewon was there too, leaning against the window with chanhee hyung next to her.

"hey guys!" i said with a genuine smile as i stepped in. i closed the door and looked up to see the two of them looking at me. "is everything alright? chaewon, how are you feeling?" i asked because i was aware of the incident with changmin.

she smiled at me and nodded her head in slow-motion. "i'm honestly fine. he did nothing to me anyway."

chanhee, by her side, put on his jacket and patted her shoulder, the way he looked at her protectively felt so caring. it wasn't the first time i noticed it though. from the day i met her, i saw chanhee following her like a lost puppy to always keep an eye on her.

"alright then! hum… chan, can i talk to you for a second?" the blue haired man in front of me nodded and i saw his hand brushing against chaewon’s arm before eventually coming along with me. "what's going on?" i asked him when we got out of the room.

he turned his head to me and chuckled slightly. "what do you mean?" he had that smirk on, he hadn't been like that since he brought his ex home after our very first mission.

i scoffed and pointed at the room we just exited, his eyes followed the direction i showed.

"ah- you can't fool me, chanhee. the way you look at her and all. you're too obvious." i told him, not too loud though, just in case sangyeon or anyone was around.

he looked away from me and with sad eyes, he pressed his lips together tightly. shit. i said something bad.

"it doesn't matter. she can't like me back." he answered and dragged me outside. it was pretty easy to notice that he was shaken up.

"what? did you told her about it?" i stopped when we were both in the yard. i knew deep inside that he didn't. for a mafia, he was a coward.

chanhee, as expected, shook his head negatively. it wasn't shocking as i said, he wouldn't have the balls to do it.

"you said it yourself, it's obvious. and do you know what is also obvious..?" he trailed off, and i actually didn't really answered. just tilting my head to the side for him to explain it himself. "she won't fall for someone who kidnapped her." he spoke in a very, very sad tone, which made me gulp a bit.

he sat against the wall of the mansion,  facing the yard with his head hanging down.

"uhhh come on hyung. you know it's not like that. and, technically speaking, you did not kidnapped her." i tried to cheer him up as well as i could but he was hard to manage when he went like this.

"well yeah but i'm keeping her captive. which one do you think is worse?"

i settled next to him, rubbing my chin to act as if i was thinking hard about it.

"kidnap is worst." i finally let out, earning an annoyed grunt from him. "most seriously hyung. i don't think she's any kind of cold to you for anything. you're the one to take care of her so.."

at my words, chanhee put his hood over his head and looked up at the dark, starry sky.

"anyway. i have to see juyeon. i want to… fix.. some things with him." he explained nervously, his sweaty hands hidden in his pockets.

"again? but i thought you already talked with him about the torture thing and shit." i said, surprised and he just nodded at me, leaving me outside as he went back into the mansion.

eric is back.... it feels so unreal... i hope he's now doing better and i honestly can't wait to him perform again ❤❤
