The One Moon Chapter 16

The two arrived at the dorm and the members questioned the two.

“What took you so long, we ate dinner without you, you know, we could’ve eaten everything.”

“We saved you some though, don’t worry.”

“Where were you guys?”

“Did anything happen?”

Eric, Woong, Junghwan, and Ren said after one another.

Moonhan replied.

“Ah, nothing much but I do have something a little important to tell you guys…”

There was a sad look on his face. No one missed this.

They became silent but then Eric spoke up.

“Tch, eat first you late butts.”

At Eric’s request, Siwoo and Moonhan sat down and ate the leftover theobokki.

When they were done, they cleaned up and took turns taking a shower.

When everyone was all cleaned up, they gathered at the dinner table in silence. Haru was still energetic but was more cautious because of the atmosphere.

“Hey, you guys, who wants milk? Tell me what flavor you want.”

I want chocolate said Moonhan.

I want banana said Junghwan. The others also wanted banana.

Haru passed them to each person and went back to his seat.

“Ok, now that we got our drinks. Moonhan, what did you want to talk about?”

“Did the CEO say something bad?”

“No, it’s nothing like that, it’s just something about my past…”

“Are you a killer?!’ said haru

“Ehhh.. no-no of course not.”

Haru sighed in relief. “What a harsh thought” thought Moonhan. Who knows what the members would have guessed he was in the past and distance themselves from me, Han thought and was worried about their reaction.

“Ok… might as well get straight to the point.”

“As some of you might know already, I live alone but it wasn’t always like that though it basically was… I’m originally an orphan and I got abandoned by my parents when I was younger, I don’t know what or where they are so I don’t care if they are dead for all I know, I was taken care of by this controversial orphanage till about…” Moonhan stopped his fast-talking. He was quickly talking about his past like rap to get it over with and Ren noticed.

“STOP!” a loud voice was heard from the end of the table. It was Ren. Along with him, Siwoo and Haru were on the verge of tears.

“You don’t have to tell all of this now… You’re okay now, we’re friends, right? Forcing yourself to the point of your comfortability being stomped on is wrong no matter what your past. Just reveal it slowly. If it hurts… just come to us… Let’s have a relationship that naturally gets closer to each other in a normal way.” He said while tearing up.

“...” Moonhan looked up. He didn’t notice he was talking with his head down the whole time. He finally saw the countenance of everyone’s faces. They were surprised and worried.

As he saw everyone, a smile appeared on his face and a small tear slipped down.

The members were shocked at the sight. Complete Silence

Siwoo noticed it again. The smile of emptiness, the smile that supposedly meant he was okay and happy. “What is Han thinking?” He thought and worried.

“Thank you, you guys. I won’t bring it up again…”

“No no, you can bring it up anytime you need help, okay!” said Siwoo.

Moonhan hesitantly nodded his head. He felt if he ever brought up his past again. The members would be upset again. He didn’t want that. He didn’t want to ruin his new friendship.
