Shall We?

Five

Ji Yong sighed heavily.

Yong-bae was shaking his head in disbelief.

"Can't you just let it go?" Daesung asked, finally breaking the awkward silence between them.

"I want to see whether you'll be able to let it go once you've gotten hurt as much as i do," Seung-hyun snapped.

"We might not understand what you've gone through and what you're feeling right now," Daesung added quickly, "But the resentment and you still being angry even after 5 years had gone by is not normal, hyung!"

"I think i agree with Daesung with this one," Seungri added, "Ever since you've met her, you look terrible. When was the last time you had a good night sleep?"

"Look, if you guys come here to my house just to lecture me about forgetting the past, forget it," Seung-hyun replied, furious, "You can leave. I think you guys know where's the front door is."

He stormed off, entered his study room and locked the door from inside.

He had never felt so furious and angry with his friends this much before. Sure he admit that he had indeed being acting strange and somehow obsessive lately but Seung-hyun felt he won't be at rest unless he found the real reason why Ha Eun had left him 5 years ago.

He thought that he'd be able to get some answers from her 3 days ago but she fainted and Seung-hyun had no choice but to send her to the hospital before she ran off. Again.

His friends had no idea how hurt he was when he met her, as she looked just as great just like long time ago. She had a great life after she left, he thought to himself. Repeating it in his head over and over again.

That was why Seung-hyun wanted to see her so badly.

A soft knock on the door was heard, Seung-hyun refused to answer it.

"Listen, hyung," it was Yong-bae from the other side of the door, "We're just worried. There's no point to keep holding onto a grudge for that long. We despise her as much as you do but past is past. It's time to move on. If you ever need one of us, just give us a call."

Footsteps were heard walking away, followed by the sound of the front door being shut. Seung-hyun who had been staring outside the window, remained still as he watched his friends entered their cars and drove away one by one after exchanging uncomfortable glanced over their shoulders.

Part of him agreed with what his friends had said.

Seung-hyun grabbed his winter coat and car keys before heading out. Thinking that it'd be the best thing to do to clear his mind for the time being.

As he drove along the busy road, Seung-hyun was completely unaware that he had drove straight to the hospital. He only realised where he was after he pulled over at the parking lot.

He reached out for something that he had kept in his car and haven't taken it out ever since he injured his forehead.

Seung-hyun entered the emergency department, looking around. Ha Eun was nowhere to be seen.

"Is Dr. Lee Ha Eun in?" He finally asked one nurse who was at the reception counter.

"She's having her lunch break now at the cafeteria," she replied, and before he could ask where was the cafeteria, she added, "Go down the hall, to your left."

Thanking the nurse, Seung-hyun left. He saw her, eating her lunch alone and to his relieved, there were not much people at the cafeteria as it was already way past lunch hour.

Ha Eun was busy looking at her phone, she didn't notice him approaching her fast until he sat down on an empty seat in front of her.

She choked on her soup hard and Seung-hyun noticed that some of it came out through her nose.
