Monsta X Imagines [OTP]

Forsaken Love #2 [JooHyuk]

[3rd Person's POV]

The two males walked in silence as they walked through the park. Both of them said nothing and just admired their surroundings.

They headed to one of the benches by the fountain and sat down. To say that the silence is killing them would be an understatement.

"Why do you do that?" Minhyuk said, after a few minutes of silence, without sparing a glance at the older

Jooheon looked at the older, "Do what?"

Minhyuk met Jooheon's stare, "Why do you bully me?"

Jooheon swears he literally saw the sadness pouring out of Minhyuk's eyes.

For the past 2 years, all Jooheon ever did to him was make him feel bad about himself. And yes. It's working.

Jooheon looked at the fountain sitting in front of them, refusing to meet the older's eyes. He didn't know how to answer that question. He, himself, knows that the reason is kind of stupid.

Minhyuk stared at the younger, patiently waiting for him to answer that question. After a few seconds, Jooheon sighed.

"Do you really want to know?" Jooheon asked as he fiddled with his fingers

Minhyuk silently nodded.

Jooheon sighed once again before leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees, Minhyuk's stare following his movements.

"I know it sounds ridiculous but... I've always been envious of you.." Jooheon said in a quiet voice

'Why the hell would a bully be envious of his victim??' Minhyuk thought to himself but didn't say anything and waited for Jooheon to continue speaking.

After Jooheon regained his composure, he continued speaking.

"You have this perfect life. You have your parents who support you, your brother who loves you, and your friends who is always right by your side. While I have none of that. My mom passed away 3 years ago, and my dad became alcoholic. My younger brother suddenly left without letting us know, and my friends? They're barely friends. I can't even go to them when I need somebody." Jooheon ranted, letting out all that he felt for the past 3 years, feeling tears well up in his eyes

Minhyuk couldn't say anything. He didn't know his bully lived like this. He couldn't even imagine how hard life really was for him.

"I know my excuse is stupid. But I just can't stand seeing someone living like there's no problems here on Earth." Jooheon continued, his tears streaming down his cheeks

Minhyuk slowly wrapped his arms around the smaller male, letting his head rest to his chest. Jooheon let everything out. All his tears. All his pain.

Jooheon sobbed into Minhyuk's chest as the taller male did his best to comfort the other. A few minutes passed and Jooheon is able to calm down.

Jooheon slowly pulled away from Minhyuk's chest and wiped away his tears and snot, "Sorry for.. breaking down like that..." Jooheon said as he sniffled

Minhyuk ignored Jooheon's words and proceeded with what he wanted to say.

"You know, my life isn't as perfect as you think. My parents disagrees with what I want to be in the future, my brother is a pain in the ass, and my friends? .... Yeah scratch that I don't really have a problem with them.." Minhyuk awkwardly scratched his nape

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" Minhyuk asked, looking at Jooheon with confused eyes

Surely the younger wouldn't randomly tell him this just because he asked.
