Chapter 16
Once they reached the castle they saw the others all gathered in the main hall
Once the three came to a stop Hongjoong rushed to them
Seonghwa
*came to the three and scanned for any injuries*
San
How is it nothing, we all felt your worry
San
*looking at the three and then at Wooyoung*
Wooyoung
(Worry? Felt it? I don't understand anything)
Jongho
We felt your worry, are you hurt?
Seonghwa
Was there any problem?
Hongjoong
*looked at Wooyoung*
Hongjoong
I told you if you cause any trouble-
Yunho
He didn't Hyung!! I told you!!
Wooyoung
(So that's how he sees me *felt sad* I can understand though...I am a stranger)
Seonghwa
*looking at him with an unreadable expression*
Wooyoung
*felt Seonghwa looking at him* (does he think the same too)
Wooyoung
(the others might have talked with me, but these two... they just keep to themselves...)
Mingi
Hyung there is nothing to worry
Yunho
Wooyoung nearly fell in the lake
Wooyoung
I did not fall... don't worry
The others were looking at Wooyoung
Yeosang
Explain properly Yunho
Yunho
He went near the lake and slipped-
Yunho
But Mingi caught him before he fell in the water
Yeosang
You should be more careful
Wooyoung
*looked at Yeosang*
Wooyoung
*saw some emotion flash through his face but next second, his face turned back to neutral*
Hongjoong
Stop fooling around and causing troubles
Hongjoong
*ignored Seonghwa*
Wooyoung
*sad* I'm sorry I just-
Hongjoong
Don't do something like that again
Hongjoong
We are not here to babysit you
Hongjoong
You caused us trouble *cold tone*
Wooyoung
*feeling sad and on the verge of crying*
Wooyoung
I'm...I'm...so...sorr...y
San
Hyung stop it, they said he didn't do anything!!
Hongjoong
*looked at Yeosang*
Yeosang
"Hyung don't, San is right"
Hongjoong
Be careful the next time *still cold tone*
Wooyoung
*nodded still looking down*
Yunho
Wooyoung go get freshened up you must be hungry right
Wooyoung
( I'm not hungry...I...)
Wooyoung
*left from there*
San
Why were you so mean to him!!! *shout*
San
You are also going to take his side *incredulous*
San
He treated Wooyoung badly
San
Why are you taking his side
San
You are always good, why are you ok with this!!!
Hongjoong
San *cold* don't speak to him like that
Seonghwa
Joong *kept his hand on his shoulder*
Seonghwa
*shakes his head*
Yunho
He had done nothing wrong
Yeosang
What were you doing near the lake?
Mingi
Wooyoung wanted to see the lake
Hongjoong
So it is his fault!
Yunho
Hyung stop it!!! *getting angry*
Yunho
He didn't do anything!!!
Yunho
He just wanted to go home!!! *raises his voice*
Everyone was surprised by that except for Yunho and Mingi
Yunho
*took a deep breath* *looked at Mingi*
Mingi
He thought that maybe he can go back home... if he jumps in the lake
Seonghwa
Jumps!? *shocked*
Yeosang
By falling in the water he came to this world so he thought if he jumps in the lake he goes... back to his world
Yeosang
*connected all the dots*
Hongjoong
(he wanted to .... go back)
San
He...he wanted to...leave?
Mingi
No he slipped, and I pulled him back before he fell
Yunho
Until he told it himself, we were not sure what he was doing
Hongjoong
Yunho and Mingi, go freshen up, and then let's have dinner
Hongjoong
That's it no more talking, we'll see later
Hongjoong
*walked off from there*
San
(Hyung is wrong this time)
San
*walked of from there as well*
the other three were just left standing there
Seonghwa
I am going to prepare dinner
They also left and went to the kitchen
Wooyoung
*got cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes*
The entire time he was getting ready he felt sad and heartbroken
Once changed and fresh he sat on his bed
Wooyoung
*lay down on his bed and clutched his pillow close to his chest*
Wooyoung
He definitely hates me
Wooyoung
I...I am not... bad
Wooyoung
*crying softly* 😢
Wooyoung
I miss Yeonjun Hyung 🥺
Wooyoung
I miss all of them
Wooyoung
*felt something near his hand*
Wooyoung
*sniffle and reached for his phone*
Wooyoung
*tried to switch it on*
Wooyoung
*trying again and again*
Wooyoung
please switch on 🥺
Finally, his phone switched on
Wooyoung
*tears were still in his eyes*
When he opened his phone he saw his wallpaper
instead of ateez it's just Wooyoung, Yeonjun, Minhyuk, Soobin, Eunwoo
Wooyoung
I miss...miss ... you all... so much *touched his screen*
Wooyoung
I want to go home *hugging his phone*
Wooyoung
how are you all *looking at them*
Wooyoung
*looked at his battery*
Wooyoung
Thank god, I charged my phone that day
Wooyoung
It won't switch of immediately
Wooyoung
I don't have a charger *sad*
Wooyoung
Once it switches off then......
Wooyoung
*remembered something*
Wooyoung
*Took his phone cover of and saw what he was looking for*
A polaroid photo of him and his friends
Again ignore Ateez and think of him and Yeonjun, Soobin, Minhyuk and Eunwoo
Wooyoung
*hugged the photo*
Wooyoung
Thank god I have this*
Wooyoung
I miss you all *sniff*
Wooyoung
*Switched off his phone and kept it under his pillow and kept the photo at his bedside table*
Wooyoung
I wish I could go back... I don't want to be a ... burden
Wooyoung
*wiped his tears as they were continuously falling from his eyes*
Wooyoung was very sad, so when someone knocked on his door for dinner he politely declined without opening the door and just cried himself to sleep
San
*the one who had come to get Wooyoung*
And Yunho had also come with San
When Wooyoung told them he was not coming, they felt sorry for him, they could hear his cracking voice, and San could hear his sniffles
Both of them felt really bad for the boy, but they didn't force him and left from there
When the others saw Wooyoung was not there they knew exactly why
They had also heard the sniffling sounds
[being a vampire had it's perks]
None of them spoke much that day, and they actually feel Wooyoung's absence
Till now they had never felt incompete, they always had each other, they were a family but after Wooyoung, it was like, they all felt weirdly empty, like something was missing, when he didn't come.
They all silently had dinner, only a few words shared, and then left to go back to their rooms
Wooyoung
*lying on the bed*
Wooyoung
(I should try to find a way to go back)*felt sad but didn't know why)
Wooyoung
*wiped his tears and closed his eyes*
With the same thought in mind Wooyoung fell asleep in a few minutes
