Saeyoung (Bad End)
MC was hesitant to go at first, considering the fact that they were finally together, but Saeyoung wouldn’t let them pass up this opportunity. He was happy for them. He knew from the very beginning that this was their dream. It didn’t change how painful it would be to be away from them so long, but he would go through anything to make sure they were happy. He put on his best smile when they told him. “That’s great, MC!” He said. “I’m so proud of you.”
During the next few weeks, Saeyoung did everything he could to keep them happy. He cracked more jokes, cooked for them more, and spent as much time with them as he could. He’s actually been skipping out on work since he found out they were leaving. He wanted to make sure that MC would actually want to come back, though he’d never say that out loud.
He even threw them a surprise party. He pulled all the stops, making all of MC’s favorite food, and decorating it just the way they’d like it. He even cross-dressed and flirted with Zen for a while just to make them laugh. MC couldn’t be happier.
That night, Saeyoung made them sleep early because he didn’t want them to be too tired the next day. He watched them sleep. “I’m going to miss you so much, MC.” He whispered, “I wish you didn’t have to go.” He brushed their hair out of their face. “I love you.”
MC stirred. “Saeyoung?”
“Oh MC, I’m sorry.”
MC saw how sad he looked. “What is it, Sae?”
“O-Oh, nothing MC, I was just-“ He tried to think of an excuse.
MC sat up and hugged him. “It’s going to be okay, Sae.”
Saeyoung hugged them back. “I’m just really gonna miss you, MC.”
“I’m gonna miss you too, Sae.” MC was wide awake now. They smiled at him. “Why don’t we have a little more fun before I go?”
Keep it together, Saeyoung. He told himself. He and MC were at the airport along with the other RFA members. Saeyoung wanted them to see their family one last time before they left for two years. He was trying very hard not to cry. Come on, you don’t want to be teary-eyed the last time they see you! Yoosung’s already crying enough for the both of you!
MC tightened their grip on his hand. “It’s okay, Sae.”
Finally, Saeyoung let it go and started crying as well. Damn it!
He held them in his arms. “I love you, MC.”
“I love you too, Saeyoung.”
“Please, promise me you’ll come back to me.”
“Of course I will, my love.”
Saeyoung was having those thoughts again. He watched them as they spent time with other people, and enjoying themselves. He saw how they smiled at the new friends they made and couldn’t help but think that they were better off like that.
They’d be happier, too. He thought. Saeyoung stopped all contact with them. No matter how often they called, he wouldn’t respond unless it concerned the RFA. It killed him, but he told himself it was for the best. Still, he watched over them on the CCTVs just to make sure they were okay.
One day, he checked the cameras, but couldn’t find them anywhere. He tried to check the GPS on their phone, but it was off. He spent the whole day looking for them, he didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, he heard his door speak, “You’ve successfully answered all questions! Congratulations. Opening the door.”
“Saeyoung?” MC was standing at the entrance, crying.
Saeyoung wanted so badly to hold them again, but he didn’t move. “What are you doing here, MC?”
“Jumin helped me.” They said. “Seven, is something wrong? Have I done something?”
They moved to touch his arm, but he pulled out of their reach.
“S-Sae?”
“You shouldn’t have come, MC.”
“Saeyoung, I don’t understand. Please, just talk to me-“
“Just leave me alone, MC!”
[Bonus]
It’s been months since Saeyoung pushed MC away, and not a moment goes by that he wished he didn’t. He knew that he was irrational, that he was stupid to let his emotions get the better of him, but it was too late now. Saeyoung watched them on the CCTV. They were still the same. Same smile, same laugh, it was as if nothing had changed. Only this time, he couldn’t just call them out of nowhere to tell them how much he loved them.
Saeyoung sighed. “They’re not coming back.”
