Drunk Games

Chapter 26: Decision

Just one more chance, rung in Soonyoung's ears several times before he realised Wonwoo was waiting for him to reply. His whole life had flipped, the evil character he had resented for the past few months was claiming to be a friend while the one he chose to trust had become the villain. He couldn't tell what was true and what was not. He wanted to believe Wonwoo. He wanted to believe that everything that he just told him was the truth but then what would that make him ? If what Wonwoo was saying was the truth then Soonyoung had just been hurting his best friend who did nothing wrong while he believed some random guy who he had dated a few months. Every choice that he made and every time he ignored Wonwoo's texts and calls came back to his mind. He felt like he had tortured his bestie more than the other ever had. All of soonyoung's disbelief in friendship and love had once again been baffled and he didn't want to get hurt anymore.
Calmly he placed his hands on Wonwoo's shoulders and replied.

S: I heard everything you said so I'm going to go now. Please don't stop me. I don't know what to believe and what to do if everything you said is true. Give me some time to think things over. (Pause) Thank you for telling me the truth and I'm sorry I've hurt you.

With that said he helped a still sobbing Wonwoo up, picked up his bag and left. The only thought in his mind , "What have I done."

The rest of the day passed by really slowly where Hoshi kept thinking of what would've happened if he had met Wonwoo that day. Would they still have been best friends? All he knew was that what his Ex had told him and what Wonwoo was telling him were two different things.

He remembered the day his Ex visited him and explained how Wonwoo had confessed to him a little while ago. How he had told Wonwoo that he loved Soonyoung and was not interested in him. He told him Wonwoo forcefully kissed him that day and beat him up because he chose Soonyoung.
Everything was so confusing that soonyoung's head spun. He looked around and saw Wonwoo sitting two rows away hiding his puffy eyes with a cap. That's when the other question popped in his head. He said he liked me ? He wanted to confess to me ? Was he telling the truth? He said he loved me so did he mean he loved me in a romantic way? Does he still do? That's not the question Soonyoung he scolded himself. If you want to sort this out think it the other way ; do I see him in a romantic way?

No. It was like Soonyoungs heart replied. He knew that he deeply cared for his best friend but that he never saw him as anything except that. He tried to calm down and think what he should do.
The bell rang.

Soonyoung stood up and looked towards Wonwoo. Then he quickly made his way towards him with a folded piece of paper in his hand. Once at his table he quietly put the folded paper in front if him, gave him a week smile as he walked away. He saw Mingyu calling out to him and with a last look towards Wonwoo he went out the classroom.
