Let Me Love You | XIAODERY

Hendery was glancing at his phone screen. There was a text from Guanyeu asking if he could meet him again if it was good with him. Guanyeu is a nice guy who is very vocal and honest. That's why Hendery could read him well even though they aren't that close. Not that Hendery wants to read him, Guanyeu is just transparent. Hendery's staring at his phone because he didn't know how to answer him since he said clearly that he'll forget everything that happened after the date. However, Guanyeu is not just someone.

"How's your date?" Sungchan asked Hendery.

"I believe that went well?"

"Guanyeu only agreed because it was you. He doesn't enjoy meeting strangers, and he said he previously met you, so there. What else can you say? Is it worthwhile?"

Hendery sighs deeply before composing a response to Guanyeu and putting his phone away. He's also really sweet, and as a result of their date, he's gotten to know him a lot better.

"He's too nice. I want to be honest with him." Hendery said before rising up and tapping Sungchan on the shoulder. The younger look at him confusedly before following him to their next class.

"Yo, what do you mean? You'll tell him that you like someone already?"

"Yes. He deserves to know and I don't want to give him a false hope."

Sungchan pursed his lips and nodded. "Okay fine, it's your choice. You grew up already, you know what to do." He spoke. He already forced Hendery to the blind date thing and that's enough, the following decision will be on his hand from now on.

Then, the two of them went to their class already.

It's currently Xiaojun and Renjun's vacant and the two of them are reading for their exam later in their department longue, but as soon as Xiaojun noticed a familiar face, he stopped what he was doing, and he is unaware of it.

He has no clue what Hendery's date would be like, but he is quite intrigued. He just can't tell them because Xiaojun is afraid of what they might assume is the reason for his curiosity. He could have simply asked Hendery personally, but he did not do it.

That day, Renjun seems to have seen his behavior and chose to hand over his phone to Xiaojun in order to see what Hendery's date looked like. It was posted in Guanyeu's instagram story.

That Guanyeu guy looks very pretty and cute. He has a lovely smile and Xiaojun thought that he's a good guy after seeing Guanyeu right now for the first time.

While Xiaojun, he looks intimidating compared to Guanyeu.

Why am I fucking comparing myself with him?

Xiaojun ruffles his hair to brush that thought away from his mind, he caught Renjun's attention because of that then he averted his gaze on what Xiaojun was looking at.

"Oh, I had no idea he was studying music as well." Renjun murmurs.

"Have you ever interacted with him before?"

"Yeah. I've only met him once, but I can tell he's quite nice." Renjun said.

"Is he?" Xiaojun spoke in hushed tones. He's not sure why he's still staring at that person, but he wants to see for himself if he's truly lovely or kind or anything. The only thing he cares about right now is that Hendery deserves better.

However, he realized that it was none of his business to intrude in Hendery's life. Why is he even thinking about those things?

He's so confused.

That day, Hendery didn't talk to him about how his date went. The younger one didn't even realize that Xiaojun was waiting for him if he didn't call Hendery. He's too preoccupied with his thoughts and seems to be thinking deeply.
