Blur memories

[On the other hand, Y/N just sat on the bed for an hour in the same position, while Minghao just gave her some medicine.]

Y/N:

What's the reason?

Hao:

Huh?

[Minghao tilts his head in confusion.]

Y/N:

Why did it start again? I was cured a long time ago.

[Minghao sighs and looks at the picture beside him. A picture of Y/N hugging Cheol. He knows very well what Y/N is talking about.]

Hao:

It's because you were tense. You felt insecure when he was around you. His shouting and hugging you without any warning must be the reason why you act like this. You need to let go. You think that if he knew what happened one year ago, he might start to hate you or never talk to you again. You have to believe him. You trust your brothers, even Joshua, Mingyu, and Wonwoo. You trust all of them, even me, but you can't believe him just because you think he will hate you.

[Minghao holds Y/N's hand gently and smiles.]

Hao:

But ask yourself, Y/N, do you really think he will leave you or even hate you?

Y/N:

I don't know, I just... *sigh* I'm tired now, Hao. Tired of running from the real me? This fear of mine won't let me be myself. I don't know what I have to do now. I just don't want to be a burden to someone.

Hao:

You're not a burden to anyone. Not on your brothers, not on him, and not even on me. Think about it, Y/N. It's been a year; let go of that nightmare and start to live like you used to.

[Y/N didn't say anything; she just started to look outside the window.]

Next day:

[Y/N still locked herself in her room, and only one person can go inside, and that person is Minghao. As for Seungcheol, he still didn't show up again. No one knows the reason, but the one thing that is clear to everyone is that this time the problem between Y/N and him is not as normal as it looks. Joshua also didn't come back. Jeonghan is calling him again and again, but he still hasn't gotten hold of Joshua. Jeonghan goes to his house, but he's not there either. Everyone was worried for Y/N, and Joshua's sudden disappearance didn't make anything better.]

Jeonghan:

Hoshi You and Hyejin stay here and wait for Y/N and Minghao. I, Mingyu, and Wonwoo are going to find Joshua.

Hoshi:

Okay!

[Jeonghan was going to open the front door when someone rang the doorbell. Jeonghan quickly opened the door, and there he found Joshua with puffy eyes and still in the same clothes from yesterday. Jeonghan quickly hugged Joshua tightly and pulled him inside.]

Jeonghan:

Where in the hell were you? I was trying to reach you, but you were nowhere to be found. You were not at home; your mobile was switched off, and I have no idea where you could be. Do you even realize that you almost killed me?

[Jeonghan said everything in one breath. Joshua didn't say anything. He frees himself from Jeonghan's hug and looks at Mingyu and Wonwoo, then back at Jeonghan.]
