The Things We Do For Friends...

Chapter 3

Hyunwoo successfully managed to avoid Kihyun for at least a week, he knew he should be more forgiving, he knew Kihyun couldn't control Hyungwon's actions but still there was a protective fire burning in his heart and he refused to forgive the weasel just yet. After the first two days of him actively ignoring and walking away from Kihyun, it seemed the younger had got the hint that Hyunwoo was mad and stopped texting, on more than one occasion he actually fled at the sight of Hyunwoo, which Hyunwoo found amusing.

It had been going well, until one day Jooheon slunk down in the chair beside him. Hyunwoo raised an eyebrow suspiciously but refused to budge an inch staring down at his notes, making the atmosphere between the two awkward and tense. Jooheon sat silently, staring at Hyunwoo with large sweet eyes, filled with hope, and slowly but surely they were breaking Hyunwoo's resolve as the clocked ticked on. Nearly ten minutes had passed when Hyunwoo caved turning to face the boy who grinned brightly revealing those cute dimples again. "What?" Hyunwoo asked, attempting to mask his emotions and keep his face unreadable, Jooheon just grinned back oblivious, or immune to the cold vibes Hyunwoo had worked so hard to give off. "Here" Jooheon said, inconspicuously shoving a note over the table as if he was some kind of, bad, spy. "Bye" he added and just like that he was gone leaving Hyunwoo shocked and flustered as he glared down at the folded piece of paper, his name was delicately written across the front with a little heart beside it causing him to shudder.

He flicked it open half-heartedly with a sigh, he was in the same English class as Weasel, who was a meticulous and smart student, he recognised his writing instantly. He let out the deep breath he didn't realise he was holding in and began reading, his eyes feasting on the words hungrily.

Hyunwoo ❤

Hyungwon has gotten into Crash Landing On You, maybe if Hoseok has seen it they'll have something to actually talk about

ALSO They've not actually seen each other except for class since last time we saw each other... need to work on that.

Maybe we need a new plan?

Yours, Kihyun

Hyunwoo folded the paper back over with a huff, what did he think he was doing? Acting like nothing happened and they could just continue with the 'alliance' as if he was a trustworthy, decent person. Hyunwoo let out a pfft sound as he tore the paper in half shoving it into his pocket as he returned to his notes, trying to ignore the painful jabbing in his chest. He felt like a traitor, if he didn't go along with any of the plans then he'd be letting Hoseok down right? He thought as his mind wandered far away from statistics for the hundredth time in the last hour. With that he decided to try again, flinging his bag over his shoulder and storming out of the library.

He wandered into the common room trying to look casual as he wrinkled his nose, it was far too chaotic in here, huddles of people everywhere making noise and it smelled like old cheese. The blinds had been pulled closed and there was a small group in a dark corner spread out over chairs and cushions watching some kind of k-drama intently. Hyunwoo's eyes searched the room closely, he knew they hung out here often, but it was so packed he couldn't identify the weasel in the sea of bodies. He let out an exasperated sigh and turned on his heel, having a change of heart when he felt a tug on his bag strap. He spun round suddenly coming face to face with the person he was looking for.

Kihyun beamed up at him brightly, his hair was pushed back revealing his forehead and something sparkly shone from his ears, I didn't know he had his ears pierced Hyunwoo thought shaking the notion away quickly, why did it matter? "Uhhh" Hyunwoo stumbled over his words, his throat suddenly tight. He had expected to feel undying hatred, anger and sadness when he saw the smallers face again but instead it felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, a feeling he refused to explore as he boarded it away in the back of his brain. Something dramatic and heart breaking obviously happened in the drama as several students began wailing and screaming at the screen, some waving their arms angrily, some holding each other. "Shall we go somewhere quieter?" Kihyun asked with a bright smile, although his tone was almost pleading as he hitched up a perfectly manicured eyebrow, "Sure" Hyunwoo responded, trying not to choke on his own tongue.
