❛ i’m saying my goodbyes . ❜ [ tennis & minji ]
💔 INQUIRIES ANSWERED | MINJI
remaining only as long as it took to get his affairs in order, minji had been careful to avoid anyone that might have made his decision to leave that much harder. everything he’d built, everyone he came to love ... he meant to abandon it all — to turn his back one last time on the person he was to once again embrace the role of the living doll his parents forced him to play. he was meant to be a good husband, have a few kids, keep the ruse going that they were a picturesque family with nothing to hide. his parents even reassured him the fiancé he was returning to was a worthy match. but he couldn’t give a damn about what company her parents’ owned or how pretty her lips were. it felt as if he was giving up everything to receive nothing in return, but familial obligation forced his hand.
in the middle of packing his last box, he’d paused staring at one of the pictures that rested by his bedside - but his gaze wouldn’t so much as glance in the direction of his own smiling face ( he didn’t want to torment himself a sight he was sure would never come again ). instead, brown eyes softened seeing the image of tennis upon printed glossy paper, no doubt pointing out something stupid in the crowd where the photo had been taken. he’d come to love them. honestly and truly, though it was damn impossible to bring himself to admit it. tennis had been larger than life upon first meeting them, while minji himself was just the soft spoken boy trying to pretend to be anything but. the last months had feel like a fever dream, being dragged out to all sorts of places and doing all the things he’d never been allowed to growing up.
he’d miss them most, he thought. the crinkle of their eyes when they laughed, their .. extra way of doing just about anything, that voice that made him feel equal parts exasperated and safe. he thought he was losing his mind when he heard those familiar warm tones, not until he heard footsteps and snapped his head up and saw tennis standing in the doorway.
/ ‘ i’m saying my goodbyes.’ /
❝ th... that’s nice of you. ❞ he stammered, dropping his head down as he shoved the picture frame in whatever box was nearest him and still open. ❝ you really didn’t have to do that ! i mean, i’m sure you’re already so busy as is and.. this isn’t forever ! i’ll .. be back probably ... ❞ if it was just a temporary leave, he wouldn’t be packing up everything he owned. items that his parents would no doubt throw out in hopes of dispelling any remains of that ‘childish’ dream of his. a hand reached out to grip the edge of one of those cardboard boxes holding the confines of his truth within. ❝ we’ll probably ... i mean we probably plan to ... ❞ words alluded him, his vision blurring at tears filled his eyes despite his best attempt to blink them away. ‘see you later’ was but a simple phrase, but it was one he couldn’t even bring himself to say.
truth be told, he’d never see them again. not if his parents had their way. that was the hardest pill to swallow of all. ❝ s-sorry ! i’m just really bad with ... ❞ he paused. ❝ .. goodbyes. ❞ ‘please leave’, he thought to himself. please leave before it becomes too hard for me not to stay.

⟶ though he was far too kind to make any mention of it, truth be told he actually found the other’s reaction rather startling. minji might have assumed something far worse to have happened than someone simply slamming a door, had he not witnessed everything with his own eyes. nevertheless, he had to acknowledge that it was partially ( or rather, ENTIRELY ) his fault for all but racing into the room like a bat out of hell in the first place. that loose grip on the doorknob ended up not only sending the door slamming against the wall but frightening someone in the process. a guilty conscience was an understatement, to say the least, the young man responsible for the disturbance of the peace fiddling awkwardly with his fingers for just a moment as he gathered his fragmented train of thought. with a renewed ability to formulate proper sentences, minji raised his hand and gave the other a dismissive wave.
❛ no, no! really, you have nothing to apologize for. i’m the one causing a ruckus around here. ❜ the idol reassured softly, his smile sheepish. ❛ — seriously, i’m the one that should be apologizing right now. ARE YOU ALRIGHT? ❜

"stop looking at me like that. like i'm broken." - hyun to minji
💔 INQUIRIES ANSWERED | MINJI
an ache that no medicine could cure, the heartache since the news broke about a ‘budding romance’ had turned a once reliable mentor into something of a recluse. his productivity had increased, but his demeanor and mood had taken a nosedive. worse of all, minji had been avoiding hyun like the plague itself. he couldn’t ignore him forever though, not as his friend and especially not as his group’s assigned peer mentor. whatever sourness that had been plaguing minji himself, it seemed the burden sat upon hyun’s shoulders far worse. those bright eyes lacked their vibrancy, melancholy seemed to settle upon him like an old friend. it was hard to force himself out of his own stupor to finally check on the other, but now that he had ... he almost wished he never bothered at all.
❝ then prove to me that you aren’t. ❞ the idol reached a hand up to cup hyun’s cheek, to ruffle his hair, anything before stopping halfway. he wasn’t sure he even had the right to anymore. ❝ your group members are worried about you hyun — all of us are worried about you but you’re shutting all of us out ! have you looked in a mirror lately ? ! ❞ guilt settled upon his brow the more he thought about it. while he was busy wallowing in love lost, he’d left a friend to suffer alone in the process. ❝ hyun .. please, just talk to me. are things going bad with your girlfriend ? is the company meddling in things ? you look like you haven’t slept in days, i just .. i’m scared you’re losing yourself to the nonsense and i don’t want to see you burned out like this. ❞
