Annyeonghaseyo, it's Ann. Today Ann comes with a short story ending in one episode that might make Ann happy or not? Let's go get it yourself.

'Can we...go back to the way things were before...'

The sobbing sound of a sweet-faced young man Luhan's voice echoed throughout the room. The sweet face that once looked cute and bright has turned dull and soulless. In my heart I was still thinking about the events that had happened recently. And when I think of the end of it all Tears will flow without realizing it. The whole thing wouldn't have happened if the four of us

People didn't go to the beach together that time....

"Wow, sea~" Luhan shouted as soon as he stepped out of the car.

“Be careful, you might trip over the rocks!” Xiumin shouted after him, running after him.

"Here it is!" Luhan threw water at Xiumin and Sehun.

"It's all wet," Sehun complained.

"Kris, come play in the water together," Luhan invited.

"No, I'm not in the mood," Kris replied in a cold tone, which made Luhan's face pout.

Sehun and Xiumin exchanged glances for a while, then Sehun walked towards Kris.

“Come on, it's been a while since we've been able to travel together. Come down and play together."

"Oh, I know." Chris agreed to go into the sea. That made Luhan smile brightly again.

Late at night, everyone went to their room. Xiumin took a leisurely walk in the garden.

"Hey," came a clear, familiar voice from behind.

"Luhan" Xiumin smiled cheekily.

“What are you doing?” Luhan asked.

"Let's take a little walk. I can't sleep."

Xiumin looked at Luhan and smiled softly.

"What's wrong?" Luhan turned to look at Xiumin.

"No, looking at your face makes me happy." Luhan smiled widely.

"Uh, Xiumin."

"Is there something wrong?"

"You promise that if I tell you a secret, you won't tell anyone."

"Sure." Is this something that Xiumin wanted to know?

"Well...I feel uncomfortable. I've never told anyone this before...I...like Kris."

It was like a sledgehammer had hit Xiumin's heart.

"I feel much more at ease. And you, do you have anyone in mind?"

'It's you,' Xiumin wanted to shout out loud.

"Yes, but I'm heartbroken." Xiumin tried to hold back tears.

“Luhan, I need to go back to my room first.” Xiumin hurriedly walked out. When we arrived at Xiumin's room, he lay down on the bed. and release things that have been repressed for a long time

"What's that noise?" Sehun woke up. and put his ear to the wall and listen.

"Xiumin... probably already knows." Sehun continued to sleep, feeling uneasy.

[The next day]

"Why hasn't Xiumin come down to eat yet?" Luhan said.

Because it's already 10:00 a.m. as planned, but Xiumin hasn't come down from the room yet.

“Xiumin called me to tell me he wasn't feeling well. We can go." Sehun said on Xiumin's behalf. This is probably something Sehun can do. Even though Xiumin didn't tell Sehun anything.

"Um...so where are you going today?"

"Club," Chris's voice called out. Both Luhan and Sehun immediately shifted their focus to the source of the voice.

"I want to go to the club together."

"Uh...okay," Luhan replied softly.

[@club]

Sehun sat and looked at Luhan who was standing in the middle of a group of people dancing mindlessly. As for Luhan, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, he was looking at Kris.

"Kris" Luhan called his name.

"Where are you? Kris, Kris....Ris." Luhan couldn't believe his eyes that the picture he saw in front of him was the person he was just looking for, dancing with a girl. Luhan tried to control himself and pulled Kris' arm. Luhan danced like that woman did. Kris, who was watching, slowly moved his face towards Luhan.

The face of Christ came to my eyes. Luhan's nose..and mouth Kris slowly moved his face towards Luhan. But suddenly Kris' mouth was next to Luhan's ear.

"This is...not fun at all." Kris moved his face to look at Luhan as before. Luhan was in tears.

Sehun who was sitting hurriedly got up and went to find Luhan. Sehun looked at Luhan and slowly turned to look at Kris.

Puk* Sehun pushes Kris, "And you, was it fun?"

Luhan immediately ran out of the bathroom. Sehun looked at Kris's face for a while then ran after Luhan.

"Why are you following me?" Luhan sobbed.

"Don't mess with me!" Luhan shouted. Sehun grabbed Luhan's hand and pressed it against the wall.

"Why...why did you do this to me?!"

"Why...because I love you! Do you understand? And Xiumin didn't come today for the same reason as me. Yesterday, you probably didn't understand the word heartbreak. But today, do you understand yet? The feelings that Xiumin and I had to face."

"Xiumin?...huh."

“I could see from the beginning that she liked Kris. And Xiumin likes her like me. And I knew from the beginning that Kris wouldn't play with her!"

"I'm sorry..." Sehun put his hand over Luhan's mouth. and led Luhan to walk out of the club

“I will send you back to the hotel. Go get some sleep." Sehun drove back to the hotel.

[hotel]

Sehun opened the door to Luhan. Luhan hurriedly threw himself onto the bed. Sehun walked out of Luhan's room but

"Sehun...can we go back to the way we used to be?" Luhan's sobbing sound came from behind Sehun. Sehun was silent for a moment and walked away without giving Luhan an answer.

"Kris" Sehun walked towards Kris. Kris looked up at Sehun and raised his glass to drink.

"Don't you want to say anything?" Kris had never seen Sehun this angry before. You must just tell the truth.

"Is your hope fulfilled yet? You or Xiumin." Kris replied indifferently.

"What do you mean?"

“I meant what I said. Do you guys have any luck?"

"I don't understand." Sehun raised an eyebrow.

“I always knew that you and Xiumin liked Luhan. And I also know that Luhan likes me. I know that I am not the right person for Luhan. I think you guys would be a better fit.”

"So you...like Luhan too?"

“Yes, but you probably know what kind of person I am. I don't have enough time for one person. I have no empathy I'm a cold person."

"Then why didn't you tell Luhan?"

"Because if Luhan and I were together You guys will be sad. And we will eventually split up.”

"So now we're not separated?" Sehun scolded.

“The first reason was because I dated Luhan and it caused us to break up. And the second reason is that no one gets anything. I think the second one would end more beautifully. It's the last thing we can do to be close friends." With that, Chris walked out of the club. Leaving Sehun standing there stunned for a moment. Then Sehun slowly drove to the hotel.

[Luhan's room]

Luhan's phone rang intermittently. along with dozens of messages sent from Sehun

'Luhan'

'Are you okay?'

'Do you want me to go find him?'

'Hey'

'Answer please'

'I'll go find him.'

'I'm at the hotel. I'll go find it.'

'Luhan, please open the door.'

'*20 unread messages*'

Luhan washed his face and walked out to open the door. As I thought, it wasn't wrong. Sehun was still waiting for Luhan in front of the room.

"Sehun..." Luhan rested his head on Sehun's shoulder like he always did. But this time is different. It's not begging. Not to please

Sehun looked at the condition of Luhan's room...the sheets were crumpled. Tissue paper all over the mattress There were tear stains on the pillow.

"Are you crying?" Sehun gently rubbed Luhan's head like he normally does. But of course, this time is not like the previous times.

"No," Luhan replied in a trembling voice. and still hasn't raised his head to see

“You can shut Chris out. But you can't shut me out." Luhan was silent for a while before Luhan's body began to tremble violently until he sobbed.

"Huh..Sehun.." Luhan looked up. That made Sehun see Luhan's tear stains. Where is the brightness on your face that used to be there? Where are the eyes that used to sparkle with happiness?

Sehun sighed. What I will tell Luhan from now on will probably hurt Luhan's feelings a lot. But if you don't tell Luhan, he won't know anything about this matter.

"Luhan, listen to me..." Sehun told Luhan the whole story.

"Xiumin...huh!" Luhan cried harder than before.

“Why didn't you tell me sooner?” Luhan yelled and hit Sehun on the chest.

“Sorry, I didn't think it would come to this.” Sehun allowed Luhan to continue pounding his chest. Luhan stood and cried for a while and continued to snuggle into Sehun's chest. Sehun's black leather jacket was now soaked with Luhan's tears.

"Will Xiumin come back to the way he used to be?"

"I don't know, but the answer should be clear," Sehun pursed his lips. Luhan must be really hurt. Since we've known each other Never seen Luhan cry this hard.

"And...you?" Luhan's voice softened. The entire room was completely silent. Sehun held up Luhan's tear-filled face.

“I...am like them...like you too...the story of the four of us probably ends here. But...if you have anything, you can always text me." Sehun slowly brought his face closer to Luhan's. Now Sehun's nose and Luhan's nose are colliding. Luhan bit his lip. Prepare to receive Sehun's lips that are getting closer and closer. Everything seemed to go on smoothly until Sehun stopped his mouth a few millimeters in front of Luhan's mouth.

“Let's...let's not go any further. Goodbye, Luhan.” Sehun immediately backed himself up and walked out of the room. Luhan froze. Can't speak and seems heartbroken. Tears flowed from both eyes without realizing it. It hurts...until it's completely numb. Losing a close friend, losing someone you like, losing someone who cares about you. Losing someone who secretly likes you, losing everything. It all starts with ourselves.

"Sorry..." Luhan muttered.

The sound of the sea hitting the sandy beach is loud from time to time. Everyone stood still and looked as far as their eyes could see. The wind blew softly, causing the four people's hair to flutter. But there was still no movement.

"It's already been 1 year already." Sehun, in his businessman's manner that looked unfamiliar to him, sighed softly.

Everyone returned to being quiet as before. People still didn't look at each other.

“Are you okay? Everything really changed so quickly.” Xiumin, who looked much thinner, broke the silence once again. But still no one said anything.

"Then...I'm leaving." Chris, who had a mustache growing on his face and looked very pale, walked out. Sehun and Xiumin walked out as well.

“We..” Luhan, who had no brightness on his face, spoke up. Making everyone stop in their tracks but still turning their backs on Luhan.

"Can we...go back to the way we used to be?"

"Huh," Chris smiled. while Sehun looked down at the ground

"Our story It ended right then,” Xiumin answered clearly. And the three of them walked away until they were out of Luhan's sight.

Luhan was still standing in the same place. and slowly smiled with tears flowing unconsciously again

Hello, I'm Ann. How are you? This story is a short story with only one episode. It ends easily and has a non-happy ending hahaha. It's happy and sad. Ann is so sad when she's dressed. Haha, tears are flowing.

This story was inspired by a Korean commercial (I can't remember what commercial it was, haha). It had an interesting plot, so I tried adapting it and turning it into a short story.

At first, I planned to post it on Valentine's Day, but when I look back at it, it feels like it's still not complete, so I'm slowly adding in more and more.

Next time you want Ann to dress in any style or pair, please comment and tell me. Don't worry, it can be male-male, female-female, or male-female pairs. But I want to be a Korean artist.

And finally, Ann would like to comment on this story as well. I'd like to know what it's like when you change the direction. Thank you for reading this story to the end, Annyeong~ Poh poh <3
