PRETTY BOY | Seongjoong ✨

~08~

Hongjoong walked to an underground station, that was 5minutes from his apartment complex, waiting patiently for the subway train to arrive. The upbeat song of 'Best of me' by BTS blasted through his Airpods. He hummed to himself, his mood being lifted up by his favourite music. 

He saw the subway train coming to a halt and got in. He found a place to sit and let himself relax by the melody. That was until he jumped and shrieked, feeling a hand resting on his knee pit of nowhere.

"JesUS CHrIst" the boy almost had a heart attack. He held his chest with his hand and looked at the slender hand's owner.

Amused Wooyoung stared right back at him, holding his stomach, that was almost hurting from all of the laughter that came from his body.

"WOW Jongie, you are so funny when you're scared!!!" his laughter managed to pierce even through Hongjoong Airpods. The red haired boy removed them, starting to calm himself down, a small smile forming on his lips, glad to be reunited with his bestie. The passengers around them gave them weird looks, but they couldn't care less.

"oh shut up Woobitch, i was just into the music, that's all" Hongjoong tried to shrug it off, though with a smile, feeling glad when Woo didn't tease him more about it.

"omg where you listening to BTS again? damn, taste. That's why we are best friends. Jimin is mine tho, don't touch him." Wooyoung sounded weirdly serious, as he placed his arm around his best friend's shoulder.

"sure, whatever you say" Hongjoong chuckled.

The boys chatted for a bit and got off the subway when their stop came, walking out from the underground to the view of a huge mall. They were both excited to spend some money on clothes and coffee.

"alright Joongie, so what has been bothering you so much?" Woo asked the shorter boy as they walked to Starbucks first.

"so many things, honestly. I'll tell you the whole story but i need some strawberry coffee first" Hongjoong sighed.

Boys went up to the counter, Hongjoong placing his order, making sure to ask for double whipped cream on top. Wooyoung went for a simple iced americano, his favourite classic. After receiving their drinks, they decided to sit by a small cosy table, finally all ready to spill their tea.

"um... i don't really know where to start but... lemme tell you everything from the beginning" Hongjoong started, trying to organise what he was going to say in his head.

"you're worrying me Joongie, go on" Wooyoung has never saw his best friend become so distressed in such a short period of time.

"So you remember how 3 days ago you introduced me to Hwa, right?" Woo nodded, sipping on his drink "well you know how much i really like his work and have- i mean had, an obsession about everything he did, since middle school. When i met him that day in person, i realised that this is really happening and i kind of freaked out..." the red haired boy scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Anyways, cutting to the chase... I'm just super confused about how i feel about him and the way he acts around me makes me feel just so... small? i don't know how to put it in words" Hongjoong played with his fingers as he took a short break from purring his heart out. Wooyoung listened to his every word, focusing on what his friend had to say, wanting to help him sort everything out.

"okay Hongjoongie, hold on there for a sec" Woo put his hand up. "you said he makes you feel small... but what do you mean? can you tell me more about how you're feeling around him? Though i would've probably flipped out too if i met my celebrity crush, like what are the odds? Goddamn, I would've done anything for Jimin" Woo licked his lips.
