Chapter 17
Everyone had started to notice that Haknyeon had become closer to Sunwoo than ever before. Everyone except Changmin was thrilled with this new situation. However, their excitement was only short lived when Haknyeon said he had something important to tell all of them.
"I won't be able to be with you all for a while. I...I have to get therapy." Everyone stared at Haknyeon wide eyed. "What for...?" Sunwoo asked weakly. "That doesn't need to be answered. All you need to know is that he won't be able to do promotions with us for a while." Everyone nodded and remained silent. Haknyeon couldn't take the silence, so he grabbed a coat and left the dorm.
He didn't know where he was going, but it didn't matter at this point. "Haknyeon, wait. I'll come with you." Haknyeon turned around then stopped so Sunwoo could catch up. "I didn't think anyone would come after me, let alone you." "It's my fault isn't it? I'm really sorry. I know sorry won't change anything, but I do want you to know that I regret everything." Haknyeon didn't respond and started walking again with Sunwoo walking by his side. "How long will you be out? Do you know?" "No." Silence fell over them then Haknyeon held Sunwoo's hand. "Come visit me, okay?" Sunwoo nodded and gave his hand a squeeze before letting go. "The group will do fine without me, right? It'll be like I never left, right?" "Haknyeon, it wouldn't be the same without you and you know that." Haknyeon let out a low chuckle then stopped walking. "I must be crazy..."
Sunwoo simply looked at him wondering what he was talking about. "What do you mean?" "I've started to like a bully." "You mean...me?" Haknyeon looked up at the sky and let out a sigh. "Yeah. Crazy isn't it? I don't know when it started, but I suddenly found myself missing your presence when you aren't around. You make me feel something I haven't in a long time." He felt arms wrap around his waist then pull him close. "Sunwoo..." Sunwoo hushed him then whispered in his ear. "I'll live up to my part and never stop liking you. So I want you to do the same. Can you do that?"
Before Haknyeon could respond, he felt Sunwoo's arms leave his waist then heard a grunt. "Changmin!" Changmin ran his hand through his hair as he looked down at the fallen Sunwoo. "I should've done this earlier. Haknyeon, are you really going to accept this guy over me? After all I did for you way back when he was practically torturing you?" Juhaknyeon's mouth went dry as he couldn't formulate any words. Changmin stepped on Sunwoo's chest while looking him in the eye. "You're lucky we're in public. Otherwise, your ass wouldn't be seeing the light of day right now."
Haknyeon pushed Changmin off of Sunwoo then glared at him. "This is exactly why I refused you! You're way too aggressive and possessive! Sure, Sunwoo had a rough period, but unlike you, he doesn't randomly attack other people who are interested in the same person as him. You're crazy!" Changmin looked at him in shock then looked down at the ground. He ran past them and eventually out of sight. "Sunwoo, are you okay? Does your chest hurt?" "A little bit. I had it coming though. But, I'm curious as well. Are you choosing me over him?" Haknyeon looked away as he bit his bottom lip.
They walked through the front door of their dorm then Younghoon walked over to them. "Is Changmin with you?" Sunwoo shook his head then quietly explained what happened so that the other's couldn't hear. Younghoon immediately rushed out, confusing Sunwoo but Haknyeon knew exactly why. "Haknyeon." He looked at Hyunjoon who gave him a smile. "We'll all come visit you whenever we can. We wish you a speedy recovery." Everyone nodded in agreement and Juhaknyeon couldn't have felt any happier at this moment.

Changmin wiped his cheek with his sleeve as he swirled a twig in a pond. "I figured you'd be here." He looked up and saw Younghoon approaching. "What do you want?" He felt strong arms wrap around him and pull him close. "I want you to be happy. But, this whole Haknyeon thing is making you miserable. Sunwoo told me everything. Haknyeon has practically given himself to Sunwoo, Changmin . There's no room for you." It was that last sentence that had Changmin in tears. Younghoon slowly stroked his hair as he turned him around so he could cry into his chest. "Even after all this hell you've put me through, here I am, comforting you. It really shows how hard I've fallen for you."
The day had finally come for Haknyeon's first appointment with a therapist. Of course he was nervous, he had never done something like this. "Ju Haknyeon, right?" the therapist asked. He quietly nodded then looked around the room once more. It wasn't anything fancy, it was quite welcoming, comforting at that. "So, your problem. You can't eat because you're scared. Do you mind explaining?" He explained the situation to her and she quietly nodded while writing notes. "Well, it's a good thing you finally decided to get help. Though, it would've been better had you come earlier." He nodded then sighed. He hoped doing this would really help.
