Hiding and pretending became a usual habit for him and distancing himself is almost an envelope with it. Junhui just gave him a questionable face and Wonwoo grinned when a guy popped up before them. With his kinky eyes, wide smile and pointed nose, Junhui could tell that he’s so fine and everyone will fall for him. He’s smaller than Junhui and Wonwoo but not that short. The guy also has a good body that everyone will simp over it and Junhui can notice that he is way younger than them. He’s new to Junhui’s eyes so he wasn’t able to greet the guy. But he is nervous without a concrete reason. Junhui didn’t get bored as Jihoon, Seungcheol and Jeonghan made him comfortable. They talked about random things and Junhui is happy as he can notice himself laughing with them. For the meantime, he was able to escape from reality and from the pain that was brought by the things that happened these past months. Junhui… p-please. Just...just stay. I’m s-scared.” Wonwoo almost teared up and it is obvious in his face and how he holds Junhui’s hand that he is really afraid. It hurts Junhui. So much. They arrived at the clinic before 10 AM and there were not many people. Junhui messaged his father to update him that they are already in Wonwoo’s doctor. “Let’s go.” Junhui said when he sent the message.

I will add more cuts to your face if you’ll not be better next time. Here!” His mother said and handed him a glass of milk. He needs time, he needs courage for everything and to take the risk. Wonwoo knows that there's no assurance because that's the certain product of taking the risk. No certainties. He waited for 5 hours for Wonwoo to wake up and it’s 2PM in the afternoon when Wonwoo opened his eyes. And all that Junhui did was to stare at how beautifully Wonwoo is while the latter is sleeping. He admired every detail of Wonwoo’s face and he is glad that Wonwoo moved unconsciously, now facing him. It is exaggerating to mention but he just gandered at his best friend’s face to the point of memorizing it in his mind and he treasured it. He smiled from time to time especially when he is recollecting their position earlier where Wonwoo is too afraid of letting go. They ate together and of course it’s not normal for them if they eat peacefully. Even Wonwoo still has a fever, he gets better and is capable again to tease Junhui. After eating, Junhui helped Wonwoo in taking his medicine. Really?” His mother retorted in surprise and rested her chin in her right hand, pausing what she was doing. “He usually went here early. He even waits for you every morning. Have you messaged him?” She asks his son.

You’re so loud.” Wonwoo spoke annoyingly while drying his hair with a small towel. He turned away from Junhui and went in front of his mirror. And you know, they will not allow you to do that. They even told me to convince you to stop working and focus on your study but I explained everything to them that you want to do this willingly.” Junhui responded. Kidding.” Junhui softly punched Wonwoo’s arms. “But really. What’s with you today?” Junhui inquires once more一this time, more serious. He started scanning Wonwoo’s closet and thought of what clothes could make Wonwoo more presentable. Junhui closed his eyes again and spoke. “I love you just like how Chan loves you. Now that I tell you, did you already understand it? No, right? Because you didn’t feel the same way.”

It was hard for Junhui. To be with Wonwoo, who is with boyfriend. He will never deny that he is hurt, because he really is and that was the most annoying thing that he could have. He doesn't want this kind of situation but he can't dictate his feelings. He is in love with his best friend and it hurts him knowing that Wonwoo is in love with someone else. To Chan, and not to him. On the contrary, he felt happy behind all this pain that he has. He's happy seeing Wonwoo smile because of Chan. Because at last, Wonwoo learned how to value love and know how to love. Finally, he's so grateful that Wonwoo feels that he is loved because he deserves it. You did your best, there’s nothing to worry about.” He remembered Junhui telling this when he was so devastated and almost gave up on life. “You made her feel that she is the best mother that every child can have.” Junhui, we’re too young.” Wonwoo replied, now putting down his PS4 and preparing to start doing his homework. “And what do we know about love?” He rolled his eyes. Wonwoo didn't decide things out of impulse. He wasted many things and so much time before until now because of not thinking well. So he gathered himself and let his feelings be collected before talking to Junhui.Now let me ask you.” Junhui looked him straight in the eyes and all he could see was pain. “Why did you force us to agree to that deal?” Chan and Wonwoo are workmates at the coffee shop near the university. Chan is in his second year of college and taking up engineeringㅡsame with Wonwoo, the possible reason why they get along with each other. And Junhui is right when he thinks that they’re older than him, 2 years ahead. He has a deep crush on Wonwoo and that made him do the first move. At first, it didn't bother Wonwoo since the guy is not giving a damn about being in a relationship. Until one day, Chan was so surprised that Wonwoo began to send him home late at night and prepare food for him. Then Wonwoo confessed and asked if he could court him. And who is he to reject his ultimate crush? They started dating three months ago and Junhui has no idea about it. Because Wonwoo didn't tell stories about his life. He just arrived at home exhausted and energy was running out of him, causing Junhui to not bother Wonwoo about his day. You better rest for the whole day. I’ll just change because I’m irritated. My uniform just got dirty because of your messy room.” Junhui smiled sarcastically.

Wonwoo honestly didn't know when it started, but he confirmed the feelings he has for his best friend when he felt afraid whenever Junhui was not with him, when he wants to be taken care of his best friend, when his day is not complete without seeing him, and when Junhui avoided him little by little. That time, he knew it was Junhui all along. That time, he wants to be with Junhui. And that time, he knew he loved his best friend more than the usual love felt by best friends. After that, they went inside the guy’s car and Wonwoo’s eyes widened as he saw the boy inside the car that his mother had said earlier. That boy, and the boy he saved from the bullies yesterday is the same. Wonwoo rolled his eyes. “Of course not! Just heard it last week from two students in the field while I’m waiting for you.” I don’t have any problem. What are you talking about?” Junhui retorted. The atmosphere became more fierce when Wonwoo aggressively pulled his hair out of annoyance. The cold breeze outside is not helping. Junhui looked at him with tired eyes. “But you, stopping yourself will never change the fact that we’ll be separated.”Junhui didn’t bother to respond to his stubborn best friend and just finished the song that Jisoo, his classmate, recommended for their performance next week. It was a great song, Junhui thought and he really is into this kind of stuff and hates it when Wonwoo always teases him with it. Will you stop? You’re too cute. Junhui said to himself as if Wonwoo would be able to hear what he was saying.
