A day passed just like that, winwin's word keep on bothering yuta the entire time making the Japanese to fume in anger thinking about what winwin said about hoshi and winwin's situation was no different too as yuta's words keep on ringing in his mind.
Ever since winwin went back to China, he can't stop thinking of yuta but he never dared to call or text the Japanese ever because he was still not over with the fact that his dream of becoming a kpop idol break apart just like that.
When he went back to home he couldn't bring himself to tell his family the actual reason behind all that and lied to them saying he didn't made it through monthly evaluation and his parents accepted that lie without anymore questions.
Winwin used to think he will forget about yuta but he was never able to do that, for the first few months yuta tired to call and text the Chinese male almost everyday to talk about the situation but winwin never respond.
As he was angry over himself and yuta about how careless they were about their carrer and decided to date each other when they know it would risk their future if someone come to know about it and that happen when they were this close to get selected in the group.
To ignore yuta and push him out of his life completely out of anger winwin changed his contact number and requested kun to never tell yuta about his whereas ever and that's how everything came to an end, but the feeling of being close and happy with the Japanese.
Their happy memories and sweet talks, yuta's cheerful and bubbly nature and his contagious smile never let winwin to live peacefully and as time passes by winwin realised he is not over from the male, he was never able to do that and he started asking kun about him but kun never told anything about yuta.
At last winwin accepted the fact that he will never be able to meet yuta again all because of his mistake up until now when he saw the Japanese in front of him after seven years and all his emotions and feeling came back seeing yuta.
Thinking that there are still some chances to get back with yuta winwin decided to talk to him and apologised but the way yuta behaved winwin realised it's too late now as the Japanese has changed way so much.
"Winwin hyung is looking down from last night isn't it?" Haechan said to renjun in a low tone while sitting together on the couch feeling strange as to what cause winwin's mood to drop like that, ever since last night he is being extremely silent and only speaking when needed causing the two younger males to get worried.
"What should we do?"Renjun said in equally worrisome tone but keeping his voice low to not to get heared by winwin who is resting in his room.
"Ask taeyong hyung to help. He will know how to talk to winwin hyung" haechan suggested with eyes brighten with hope but renjun shook his head in no.
"It's Taeyong hyung's birthday tommorow and bothering him with our problem will be so mean of us he already got enough to deal with" renjun said earning a approving look from haechan, remaining silent for few more minutes trying to come up with idea haechan spoke with a bright smile on.
"Let's take him out tonight to have some drinks at Jayb hyung's restaurant with me, you, him, jungwoo, seungkwan and hoshi hyung and I'll ask doyoung hyung too if he will be available as winwin hyung will be more ok talking with him" haechan's idea seems good and renjun almost agreed but then huffed thinking of one thing.
"Winwin hyung don't drink unless it's a very special occasion,how will be able convince him?" Renjun asked reminding haechan who think for a few minutes before shrugging his shoulder.
"We will convince him don't worry but first let me talk to others as much as I know they all will agree afterall who will say no to soju? Moreover who knows drinking lead winwin hyung to confess what he is thinking, afterall Drink cause man to speak truth mostly."
[]
And God knows how haechan convinced winwin to join his gang for some drinks that lead almost all of them to gather at the restaurant expect hoshi who was late because of his work.
After talking about here and there while finishing their meals everyone tried to cheer winwin by bringing back some funny memories from past but it don't worked out as the more they talk the more they mentioned about Hoshi.
As the Korean male is present in every stupid thing they have done causing winwin to fume with anger inside but he didn't show it on his face and hide it perfectly with his small smile.
"Here comes he" Seungkwan said causing everyone sitting on the table to turn around to see hoshi running toward their way with a wide smile and by looking at his messy state it's obvious that he came from work directly.
Taking his seat besides seungkwan and jungwoo across winwin, hoshi quickly apologised before looking at the table and see that his friends were halfway done eating and were now having drinks causing hoshi's spirit to die down.
"Don't worry we have ordered for you beforehand so enjoy your chicken and drink" Jungwoo said wrapping his arms around hoshi's shoulder earning a thankful smile from the older male who see the waiter was coming to their table with hoshi's order, winwin who was seeing all this was keep on looking at hoshi without blinking thinking of what is so special about the Korean male that lead yuta to fall for him.
Even though yuta never said it himself winwin has spend many years with the Japanese to understand what yuta mean with his certain actions and the way he got extremely annoyed and angry and quickly defended hoshi yesterday said it all.
"Hey guys! I have an idea" Haechan said clapping his hand in excitement grabbing everyone's attention to him.
"As we all here right now, how about we shoot a video message for taeyong hyung?" And it's one of the rarest occasion where everyone including doyoung and renjun instantly agreed to what haechan proposed.
Hoshi and jungwoo who were sharing the food dusted their hands and wipe their face sat straight to fix their clothes and renjun quickly take out his phone to shoot the video starting with seungkwan who is sitting across him.
"What's up boys? Long time no see." Before seungkwan could say something here comes the owner of the Restaurant Mrs. Im jaein with her bright smile on patting doyoung's shoulder before tilting his head a bit to see winwin there who he didn't notice at first but later smiled widely before greeting the male making hoshi sigh internally.
"Whipped culture at its finest" thought hoshi before grabbing the nearby chair to make a place for Jaein to sit.
"Finally the entire group is here huh" jaein said causing all the males who are younger than her smile at her comment.
"It's not even half of us noona" doyoung said receiving an oh look from the older lady as she remember how many members are there in there friend circle as Jayb had introduced her to the entire friend circle at their older daughter's Birthday celebration.
And by then jaein has officially adopted these young boys as her younger brothers and so does the males who are happy to have a older sister here.
"If you want to meet everyone then join us tommorow on taeyong's birthday celebration" Hoshi said offering jaein the cup of soju that he was about to have first, earning a look of disappointment from jaein causing everyone to chuckle at their interactions.
"How much I wish to join you guys but I can't, you know how my daughters are." jaein said receiving we get you looks from other before renjun asked her to join them for a video message shoot for taeyong and she instantly agreed.
Afterall she and taeyong are absolutely good friends and she do admire taeyong a lot for his personality and nature so having an opportunity to speak her heart out jaein won't let it slide down.
"Ok let's go with kwan first we will shoot noona at the last to surprise taeyong hyung is it OK?" Jungwoo asked jaein who showed him a thumbs up in approval before ordering some more chicken and drink for all the males to enjoy not caring about the judgemental look she was getting from few customers.
who were unaware of the fact that jaein is a good friend of these males sitting here and were judging her hard for being biased but the woman don't mind.
"Taeyong hyung firstly a very Happy Birthday in advance. Gosh it's so awkward... hope you will be keep on getting blessed with those awesome visuals and keep on looking younger and younger every year. That's so unfair he is indeed blessed with visuals" haechan said in the background causing seungkwan to give him a death glare earning a quick apology from the younger male before the camera turn to jungwoo sitting between seungkwan and hoshi.
"I don't have much to say, A very happy birthday hyung always be happy and healthy and keep on smiling because I no we all love it when you smile" Jungwoo said getting shy by the end hiding his face on his palms when everyone cooed and agreed loudly to what he said before renjun turn the camera towards hoshi who was gulping the bitter liquid down his throat before looking toward camera smiling cutely like he always do.
"Taeyong-ah, cheers! Jungwoo already said what I wanted to said so now I will say let's have a hangout once with its only being you, me and that bunny. And oh! Thankyou for always hearing by bullshits and for keeping up with my stupidness and for always looking after me and for cooking delicious meal for me thankyou for being my friend. I love you, saranghae aww so cute!."
Hoshi said making tiger pose to the camera with his baby smile on making everyone coo at him and for seungkwan and haechan to react loudly on his message and doyoung who was first annoyed over how hoshi called him bunny but then just smiled hearing hoshi's message and now the camera pan to winwin with taeil quickly hiding down to prevent himself from getting on camera.
Winwin who was sitting there silently while drinking to let himself forget the reality for a while see the camera being on him with renjun looking a bit surprised seeing how winwin drinking like that but didn't said anything as winwin spoke up.
"Happy Birthday hyung" getting the idea winwin won't say anything further doyoung slightly pushed renjun's hand toward him to let winwin enjoy his drinks before he went on with his message.
"I am really bad in this so Taeyong-ah, Happy birthday to you and I sincerely wish and pray that all your troubles end this year and you find your true happiness. Always be happy and healthy"
Hoshi and renjun realising what doyoung mean through his message smiled softly to themselves before hoshi noticed winwin was keep on pouring himself drink after drunk and hoshi knows the male have low alcohol tolerance try to signal winwin to stop drinking by stopping him from talking the glass to his lips but winwin gently pushed his hand away and gulped down the liquid.
Everyone noticing what was happening start feeling a bit tensed about the Chinese male but decided not to act right now to let haechan and taeil give their messages too.
"Taeyong hyung a very happy birthday in advance!!! Please allow me to visit your cafe on weekends to help trust me I won't put the kitchen on fire like that one time I promise" haechan said and everyone laughed reminding of the one time haechan almost put the kitchen on fire leading taeyong to instruct him strictly to never step inside his cafe with the intention of help.
"Now it renjun's turn" Jungwoo said and renjun gave haechan his phone and sit back on his place while clearing his throat, he indeed have to say a lot of things to taeyong but decided to keep it low as he don't want to spoil the happy mood by bringing the topic of him leaving.
"Taeyong hyung, first of all a very happy birthday and secondly thankyou so much for always looking after me as my older brother ever since I settle here, thankyou for always guiding me and helping me out. I wish you to get at the happiness you deserve and I love you a lot"
renjun said making everyone to get bit emotional but before they start feeling like crying jaein signalled haechan to shoot her as she was waiting for it from so long and haechan quickly turn the camera toward the her who smiled happily before waving at the camera.
"Taeyong ssi. Everyone are repeating the same thing so I will say something different. It's been so long since you last contacted me and so does I and I am extremely sorry about that so through this message I want to say let's meet up soon and have some relax from all the workload. And after seeing my message make sure to call me because I have so many things to talk to you. And at last HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Screamed everyone along with jaein before start clapping.
"Finally it's over------- I want to say something too" haechan who was about give the phone back to renjun saw winwin spoke up and he was looking highly drink by now.
"I want to give a message too please record it for me."
"Feel like winwin hyung also want to lengthen his message for taeyong hyung" Jungwoo said happily.
"No problem we will merge it to the actual video" haechan said and everyone hummed before haechan opened the camera once again to shoot winwin's message out of everyone present here doyoung and hoshi feel something is off with winwin's sudden wish but thinking that they are probably thinking way too much shrugged it off before looking ahead for what the Chinese male had to say.
"I am sorry, I am extremely sorry yuta----" And all of them except jaein who were already confused as to why winwin was saying sorry became utterly confused and shocked hearing yuta's name specially hoshi who don't know what was happening.
"For leaving you alone to bear all the pain and disrespect by yourself and for running away and for never coming back. I am sor-ry but please don't act so cold tow-ard me, I still lives you and it hurts. It hurts so da-mn much to see you liking someone else...some'one who rea-lly not worth it. "
Winwin by now feel his voice cracking because of the lump in his throat and the tears start falling down to his cheeks causing everyone who were frozen on their spot because of the unexpected revelation to start panicking.
Specially hoshi who can't believe his luck that winwin who he already is jealous of because he steal his friend's attention off from him used to date yuta someone hoshi is in love with.
And the second most shocked person is Renjun as it's his brother who is saying all this in front of his friend who is already head-over-heels for the person winwin is in love with and it make it the worst for renjun.
Hearing winwin's loud sob everyone who were busy looking at hoshi with worrisome look came back to reality and panicked badly including hoshi seeing winwin cry and that never happen before even not in front of renjun.
And that cause everyone to panic as they don't know how to deal with this extremely messy situation but realising that standing there and doing nothing won't help the matter so doyoung responded first followed by hoshi.
Trying to calm down the Chinese male doyoung passed him a glass of water and start rubbing his back before looking at hoshi who was standing there with confusion written all over his face.
jungwoo and seungkwan noticing how the other customers were looking at their table and some even bringing their phone up to shoot a video responded quickly and ask everyone to not to do that.
And jaein seeing all this, not having any idea as to why winwin was crying and who that yuta guy is, looked around and ordered the customers to not to violate anyone's privacy.
Hoshi and doyoung noticing it all share a concerned look with each other before deciding to take winwin away from here to somewhere else in private as they know these people won't stop filming until winwin is sitting here.
Asking renjun and haechan to help to stand the heavily drunk guy hoshi told the other two males to stop people from stalking them to take video to later post on social media for views.
Jaein also helping bringing winwin out of the restaurant can't help but feel confused about the entire situation but knowing it's not the right time to ask any of them about what was going on she told doyoung to bring winwin to her private room which was on the backyard to prevent anymore choas.
Hoshi and doyoung quickly followed with renjun and haechan following up from behind and winwin who was completely drained because of crying too much was half asleep by now having no idea of what he did.
Renjun asking haechan to put the phone away got stopped by winwin in the middle as he ordered haechan to not to stop recording until he is finished talking and by now all the smiles were turned into worry and panic and all of them were looking between hoshi and winwin with tense look on.
