I see car headlights from a distance coz it's already late and dark. And I've been sitting idlely since han left. Left me stranded like stray. How could he still not believe me ... I mean yeah I left him no choice, like who the fuck will be happy to know you're about to kill them.

The car approaches me as I'm sitting on the granite stone bench at the river view. It's Mingyu hyung. And I'm happy that han left cuz then I'd be a much bigger problem.

"We've a whole fucking plan to discuss about Wang's party and here you are sitting like a hopeless romantic. What the fuck is wrong, leeknow?" Mingyu hyung asked shrugging.

"I'm sorry just some shit needs to be figured out. Okay letsgo." I said getting up and going to the passenger seat.

"You know you can actually tell anything that's troubling you. Maybe I could help. It's like I and hyung actually saw you grow up, leeknow" Mingyu hyung said sitting in the driver's seat and starting engine.

"I don't have enough words to thank you. But can I seriously ask you one question, hyung?" I asked.

"Yeah go ahead." Mingyu hyung replied.

"Can I do the same as Chan hyung did ? Means can I stop working for Seventeen group?" I asked ready for the curse words I'm about to hear.

"For that you need to talk to S coups hyung. Coz you know how I am when angry." Mingyu hyung said and chuckled.

"Oh I'm scared to even talk to him. But y'all have been supportive in every way. But I doubt it this time" I said clicking my tongue.

"Wait a damn minute- I was right about the Stockholm syndrome. You're so gonna be killed by S coups, leeknow" Mingyu hyung replied and his forehead was really showing worried lines.

"After knowing this, is there any way you'll help me hyung?" I asked.

"I'm sorry. You two being together is something impossible. Even if I agree or everyone does, Han Jisung isn't going to agree. He is true to his oath like his father. You need to moveon, lee." Mingyu hyung said putting hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry if I was too harsh. But it's the reality of this hell. And don't worry, just use Wang's party as a cue to get over Han. You're hot enough to get a pretty prey" Mingyu hyung said smirking.

I just laughed at it and he continues driving and talking but I'm not listening anymore. Just thoughts of laughing with someone new, being whipped for someone new, taking him places, trying new restaurants, etc with anyone that is not Hannie, is just killing me from inside. I can't take my thoughts away from him. It's like he was on my mind when we were together and now that he's gone it's just seems he has left his silhouette in my eyes.

I stay quiet now. Thinking of what hyung just said. Trying to realise it's actually impossible. But Wang's party was known to be a destiny changer for many people. Like people for love of their lives, breakups from toxic ones, new beginnings, etc. So what's wrong in actually dreaming of a new beginning for me and Han.

We reach the Seventeen residency and I'm all set to prepare for Wang's party and my next meetup with Mr. Han Jisung. S coups hyung explains in detail how and when we need to actually talk the matter out with Mr. Jaywon regarding the arena deal they stole. Hyung orders to use any method to take away that freaking deal cuz it's about reputation now and not just money.

"Second son was successful to run away. But this is the time we'll again give them priceless rewards to get him on our side. Leeknow, you need to play your cards now. Do whatever I need him either on my side or his reputation destroyed. Do you hear me?" S coups hyung orders striking his eyes at me, banging the table.

"I do, sir. The job will be done." I said being firm.

"Great now dismiss" hyung orders and we all get out of the room.

I'm literally in sweat thinking I'll have to act rude to hannie. Coz the first option of bringing him on our side seems impossible as fuck.

I start walking towards my home. Thinking what if that night hannie wouldn't have known my secret. We'd be together right now. Walking somewhere, saying I love yous back and forth, kissing or even fucking. Trying to be the comfort zones we were of each other. I never believed in the idea of love, or to make someone our whole life, wanting to see them happy more than anything in the world. But hannie made me realise i was actually in love with him everytime I even thought about him. And I'm still in love.

If I can ask God about anything I'd like to seriously want to change his mind. Over the fact that I'm not fucking lying.

I watch as people are walking hand in hand. Talking, laughing, sharing best moments. Actually not worried about what the next second would do to the bond.

I come home to see Chan hyung standing like he's about to kill me.

"Leeknow what the fuck. I just told I'm all out of that fucking group of yours. Still I'm getting invites of some freaky party?" He said throwing a invite on my face.

"I don't have any idea. You're my brother you need to be present alongside me." I said as I take a glass of water and sit.

"No way. You may not remember but I'm actually mad at you." Hyung said.

"Are you still mad regarding chang hyung. C'mon you need to moveon. Or wait I don't even fucking know if you're still in contact with him, still fucking and god knows what" I said being clueless.

"You're telling me to moveon when you yourself are dreading upon being away from Han. Wow, irony" chan hyung said and scoffed.

"Yes, do you wanna throw more words at me or we cool to eat dinner now?" I asked Coz my empty stomach can't argue.

"Sure. I'm just your fucking servant right. Mr. Lee fucking know" hyung said with his dramatic actions. Almost making me laugh.

Just as I take one bite of the cereal. I can't take it anymore. I let my inner child take over and rant to Chan hyung.

"I'm so sorry i told you to be away from Changbin hyung. I never knew love can hurt like this. I give you freedom go date him do whatever. Coz I miss hannie soo soo much, hyung. Why does he not love me anymore. Is he lying? Is he still in love? Is he doing this Coz of his dad? Is he under threat of his family?" I keep on speaking and speaking while watch chan hyung but giving a single fuck and continue eating.

"Leeknow. Just let time heal everything. Or maybe wait for party. I know your smartass would do something. And if you ask me, from personal experience I think he might not have moved on so quick. So you got a chance. Now shut your mouth and keep your stomach full. I don't wanna see you die because of a heartbreak." Chan hyung said pointing knife at me.

"And one more thing. Don't butt between my and binnie's matter. Got it?" He continues with his threats.

I just nod and we both burst out laughing. We finish eating and I do the dishes. We watch a comedy movie and I sleep in between. Maybe it's a good night sleep after ages.

Next morning I'm off to buy suits for my bosses and hyung and myself too. Just in hope of maybe stumbling into hannie while I'm at the mall. Maybe If God was so great, hannie would have never broke up, right.

Just as I completed shopping. I saw round the corner of the mall, a brunette in loose tshirt and trackpants. Resembling a lot like hannie. But he's talking to someone, a man, and they're both laughing. So I run and put hand on his shoulder and jerk him towards me in Jealousy. But alas. It's not Hannie. It's someone else. I apologise and just start walking to my car. Thinking what if he really moved on. What if I see him somewhere like this, talking to someone else, who's not me.
