Addicted to the Poison Called Seventeen (Seventeen Short Story Collection) [On hiatus]

What Made Me Like This [Kupchan/Side Story]

Oh my god... I copied and pasted what I wrote on the blog, but I think there were some parts cut out ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm sorry, but if you've already seen it, please look at it again.....


After lunch and coffee, Chan took a deep breath and got into Ga-eun's car. He began telling the story of his and Seung-cheol's relationship. He talked about their college CC, how they broke up because Seung-cheol had unilaterally announced it, and even about what they'd shared that day. By the time the conversation was over, Chan was on the verge of tears.

"And then...you want me to like you again...I tried so hard to forget you...but now you're here...what do you want me to do..."

Chan finally burst into tears, and Ga-eun quietly soothed him. Chan cried for a long time, finally stopping when there were about five minutes left until lunchtime.

"Thank you, Unnie... But... Don't tell your brothers. I don't know what will happen.."

"I'll think about it"

"Huh...what is that..."

Ga-eun's joke seemed to cheer Chan up. They arrived a little after lunchtime, apologized, and sat down. Ga-eun took the brief moment to contact Ji-hoon.

Ga-eun's perspective

"This should be enough..."

Ga-eun explained the situation to Ji-hoon. When Chan looked at her, she smiled once and went about her business. Seung-cheol called Chan a few times after that, but Chan kept the conversation strictly businesslike.

-

"Ha,... Choi Seung-cheol appeared in front of Chan-i..."

Ji-hoon, who was biting his lip and worrying, calls Seok-min.

'After the beep, the phone is not answered...'

Ji-hoon, annoyed when the call is disconnected, leaves a KakaoTalk message for Seok-min.

Ji-hoon's point of view

Ah..I set the time to AM incorrectly;; Please be lenient....

"Mr. Ha..."

Seokmin, who had received Jihoon's call, lightly touched his head, as if he had a headache. "Choi Seungcheol showed up," he thought, and then told his subordinates he would be leaving work a little early today.

"Oh, I'll receive the report as soon as I get to work tomorrow morning, so finish all your work before you leave."

The employees looked uncomfortable at Seokmin's words, but Seokmin gave a brief greeting and left the company.

-

"Lee Ji-hoon-!"

Seokmin, who entered the house calling Jihoon's name without fear, naturally(?) had his ear caught by Jihoon.

"Ahh... it hurts... let go..."

"What? Lee Ji-hoon? Hey, we're two years apart. It's not just one year apart, we're two years apart, so you should address each other properly."

"Well, what can I do? I'm fast anyway."

'There's only a 14 month age difference...'

"Really? Then you tell Chani, who is one year older than you and is older than you, to call you by your name? Huh? Say something reasonable."

"......."

While Ji-hoon and Seok-min were fighting, the sound of the door opening was heard and Chan came in.

"..Why is it so noisy.. Are you guys fighting again?"

"No~ Should I talk to Chan-i hyung?"

Seokmin stared at Jihoon, who quickly changed his expression and tone, as if he was fed up with it. Jihoon ignored Seokmin's gaze and dragged Chan to the living room, where they sat facing each other. Seokmin, seemingly helpless, sat down next to Jihoon.

"Chan-ah, do you have anything to say to your hyungs?"

"There isn't..there isn't..."

"Don't be like that. Tell me. Ga-eun already told Ji-hoon everything."

"ah..."

"Choi Seung-cheol, what does he keep saying to you?"

"....."

"If you tell my brother, he'll take care of it. Just tell me."

"I thought I had forgotten Seungcheol hyung... but I guess I still haven't."

"why?"

As Chan shed tears while explaining what had happened at work, Jihoon and Seokmin seemed troubled. After a while, when Chan's tears had stopped, Seokmin and Jihoon spoke.

"brother,"

"Yeah, okay."

"Let's kill him"

"Good"

"..Huh..? Hyung..?"

As Ji-hoon and Seok-min prepared to leave with murderous eyes, Chan quickly stopped them.

"No...hyung...don't go..."

"Huh? Our Chan got sick. I don't think he'd mind if he got sick a little... Right, hyung?"

"That's right... Our Chan is so kind..."

"I... I'll try to explain..."

When Chan spoke earnestly, Ji-hoon and Seok-min sighed helplessly and collapsed onto the sofa.

"But if you get sick one more time, I'll kill that bastard and I'll die too."

"Hey..hyung..let's just kill that kid and not die yourself. It's too bad for you to die because of that guy~"

Chan, once again chilled by his brothers' savage words, made the excuse that he was tired and went to his room. He thought about how he had to settle things with Seungcheol hyung tomorrow, and he must have been really tired. He quickly fell asleep.

-

"Sister, I told you not to tell your brothers..."

"I didn't say I wouldn't say anything. I said I'd think about it."

"Oh, I see," Chan says, briefly recalling his thoughts as he enters the office with Ga-eun. Chan, who is working, winks at Ga-eun when Seung-cheol calls him again, then mouths something.

I'll be back

'go for it!'

After exchanging brief thoughts, Chan enters Seungcheol's office and speaks to him for the first time.

"....Why are you doing this to me...? I was finally forgetting everything..."

"Chan-ah, I just..."

"I'm having a hard time right now, you know...why are you doing this to me..."

As Chan was talking, he finally collapsed and burst into tears, and Seungcheol awkwardly hugged him and tried to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chan-ah..."

They always say the one who likes you more always loses, and in the end, it was Chan who had liked you more. Chan hugged Seungcheol, buried his face in his shoulder, and burst into tears. Seungcheol lifted him up and sat him down on the sofa. After crying for a while, Chan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly reached for his phone.

"My sister will be worried..."

"Sister? That person named Yoo Ga-eun?"

"Huh..? Yeah... Ga-eun noona... Noona took good care of me a lot.."

"Okay, go out."

"But, hyung, can I tell my hyungs that hyung and I are meeting again?"

"...Chan, do as you please.."

Chan smiled brightly, said goodbye to Seungcheol, and left. Gaeun immediately asked if he was okay, and Chan smiled at her. Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he picked up his phone.

Cold point

"Hey, okay.."

'Oh, I should contact my brothers too...'

Ji-hoon's point of view

Chan, who didn't know what they had talked about in the chatroom after he disappeared, felt a little creeped out, but also a good feeling.

-

As soon as they arrived home with Seungcheol, Jihoon and Seokmin picked Chan up from Seungcheol. Only after receiving several apologies from Seungcheol did they finally give Chan to him...

The older brothers couldn't hit the youngest because he was the one they loved so much...

-

Hehe.. I don't know if you'll like it, but I brought a side story anyway.

Jihoon and Seokmin are so impatient that they can't eat each other, but when it comes to the youngest, they get along well... that's the setting!!!

I'm writing the Solhoon side story...so please wait a little bit...

This is my first time...
