ARRANGED DEAL ; [??? x ???]

Chapter 55

-

The next day, Saturday, Seungcheol didn't open any of his social media accounts. He woke up early, but he didn't bother to get up. He just remained on the bed, looking so lost, staring at nowhere.

Meanwhile, Mingyu and Wonwoo went to the cafe where Seungcheol used to work. Seungcheol decided to resign since he's aware of his behavior for the past week.

"Oh, you're here." Jisoo noticed them coming in, and decided to serve them immediately. "What do you want to have?"

"Just two cappuccino will do," Wonwoo said and Jisoo left them. It's already afternoon so they decided to go out.

"Weird. Seungcheol didn't contact us today," Mingyu said.

"That's normal. Do you think Seungcheol will invite us to go celebrate if he's heart broken?" Wonwoo sarcastically replied and Mingyu pouted.

"What I mean is, just you know, he would ask us to come over so he can have someone to talk to?" Mingyu explained. Well, he's been really worried since yesterday night.

"He will if he wanted us to come over. Chillax, Mingyu."

"But what if he commits suicide?" Mingyu asked with worries on his eyes. He's overreacting. "Yah! Do you think he would do that? You're overreacting, Mingyu."

"But what if he does?" Mingyu asked once again and he earned a smack from Wonwoo.

"You know what, you're not helping, Gyu." Wonwoo said and then the exact same moment, Jisoo came with their order.

"Thank you," Wonwoo said and Jisoo just smiled and came back to the counter.

"Shall we come and visit him?" Mingyu asked, and Wonwoo gave a thought about it. "I guess we should. Shall I call Hansol too?"

"Yeah. So we can come as three," Mingyu said and took a sip from his cappuccino.

They called Hansol to come with them, and gladly that Hansol is free today since Seungkwan and him doesn't have any date today. Seungkwan needs to run some errands he didn't know what.

When they arrived at the condo, there's a passcode of course, but they already guessed it yesterday. It was '0408', Jeonghan and Seungcheol's birthdates.

"Cheol hyung?" Hansol called out when they came in. They brought a box of pizza for Seungcheol, and a container of black bean noodles that Mingyu cooked himself.

"Check his room. I'll check Jeonghan's room," Wonwoo said and proceeds to Jeonghan's room.

Mingyu puts the box of pizza and the container of black bean noodles at the table.

"He's not here," Hansol said when he opened the door of Seungcheol's room. Meanwhile, Wonwoo tried opening Jeonghan's room but the door was locked. "He's here, one hundred percent."

"But it's locked," Wonwoo continued as he tries to twist the door knob. "Mingyu, find the key," Wonwoo ordered and Mingyu immediately took an action.

Since he gave this condo to Jeonghan, he knows where the spare and duplicate keys are. "Here," Mingyu gave him the key and then Wonwoo opened it.

They slowly opens the door and they can't believe what they saw. Seungcheol's sitting on the floor near the window and he's hugging something. A picture frame.

"C-Cheol hyung.." Mingyu calls Seungcheol out. Seungcheol didn't respond. He's just there, staring at the window.

"H-Hey, we brought y-you pizza and b-black bean n-noodles." Hansol tried to sit infront of Seungcheol. Seungcheol remained staring at the window.
