Without You ~ Ziuce

Chapter 12

     Ace was devastated after the news was revealed to him. That night, he stayed attached to Lou like a monkey. Hosung didn't care too much, though. He kept Wooyoung close to him, and tried his best to keep him calm. They slept in Wooyoung's bed where they were before.  
  The next morning, Ayno came in to sit next to the boys. Not much was said, just a few 'Hi's' and 'How are you's.'  Ayno was hesitant to talk about anything else, he didn't want to make Wooyoung upset. 
"Hyungie is at the station right now. He's coming home soon," Ayno said, referring to St.Van.  Him and Jacob had to get cleaned up down there before giving their statements.
Pretty soon, Ayno left the room, and Baron came back in.
He brought water for Ace, and cup noodles for Lou to eat. He figured Ace wouldn't want to eat right then. He was right. Wooyoung had no appetite, he even scowled at the sight of food.
Baron made Ace get up and go to the bathroom while Lou ate quickly.  He came back to bed, and laid down near Lou again, who was sitting.
"Let's go to sleep," Hosung suggested.
Wooyoung hummed as he got closer to Lou. It wasn't as good as sleeping next to Heejun: he had gotten used to sleeping with him every night since that day. But, Hosung was good enough, he was also Ace's best friend.   They fell asleep pretty quickly, they were both very tired.

     The next week was a living hell for the VAV members. Jacob was fine after about a day, but St.Van was still recovering. Lou and Ayno had been busying themselves with tasks such as cleaning, moving furniture/organizing things, and producing music.  Baron spent most of his time on the phone with the police at the station, trying to give them as much info as he could about Heejun and Jeong-hoon both. He wanted the officers to find Ziu almost as much as Ace did..

    As for Ace, his week was not hell, but worse than hell. Like hell, but 50x worse.  He spent most of his time laying in Ziu's room, surrounding himself with things like Heejun's plushies and clothes. He missed his friend so much; it had started to affect him emotionally and physically. He missed Heejun's hugs, his soft voice in the morning, his strong and comforting arms. His love for Ziu was too much. He couldn't bear the thought that he might be in trouble. Wooyoung would've done anything to have him back. He would have given anything for just one more hug..

He wanted his love back..

As for his physical health, it wasn't good at all. Chunghyeop tried to get him to eat and shower all throughout the week, but Ace would not leave the room. The older boy even tried to guilt Wooyoung into eating by using the classic, "Heejun would want you to" phrase. But, that didn't work either, it only made Ace feel worse.
One time, Baron caught Wooyoung watching "VAV Ziu sweet moments" on YouTube, he didn't want Ace to feel even more devastated, so Baron took his phone.
Another time, the other members were in the living room, listening to music to distract themselves. Wooyoung heard Heejun's voice, and sadness overwhelmed him. He left the room and went to the other boys. Tears spilling, he walked over to Chunghyeop, who enveloped him in a tight hug immediately.
ANOTHER time, Wooyoung had a nightmare about Ziu.  He ran out of his room, and went to Lou and Jacob's room.  The two luckily weren't asleep, even though it was 3 in the morning.  They all snuggled together on one bunk, with Ace in the middle. He didn't have any nightmares after that, because he always slept with another member or members.
Basically, their week was hell. Having to deal with the police, they're own security, and an underweight, shatter-hearted boy, was all a lot for VAV. They didn't know what the future would hold, but they all hoped that they would find Ziu, somehow....
