Yeosang and Wooyoung have been best friends for six years. At one point they were inseparable, always together, sleeping in the same bed, eating off the same spoon, sitting together in the car and on planes. That was until Choi San came around.
Yeosang loved San to death of course, he was one of his members, but Yeosang still had a special bond with Wooyoung and was worried he was losing that bond with his best friend.
At first it was okay, he didn't mind Wooyoung warming up to San, he wanted Wooyoung to have other friends of course as long as he never forgot about him but as months passed of them living together and performing Yeosang started to notice Wooyoung change.
It seemed that every time he tried to hang out with Wooyoung, he was already somewhere with San doing all the things they used to do together with him instead.
Yeosang would be lying if he said he wasn't hurt by his friends' new habits, and he was starting to feel like San had completely replaced him. He thought about telling Wooyoung how he felt multiple times but always backed out thinking he was being selfish.
One day they had a gig at a variety show where they were gonna play some games and do some team bonding activities. The members were pretty excited it seemed. Yeosang watched as Wooyoung and San ran to the van, their hands interlocked and big smiles on their faces as they sat next to each other in the back of the van. He tried to hide the hurt on his face and smiled following Jongho into the middle row of the van. He heard the two laughing behind him peeking in the mirror seeing the two sharing earbuds and giggling about something. Yeosang glanced at Wooyoung's phone case noticing a polaroid in the back of it. A polaroid of him and San, placed right where their picture used to be.
Yeosang looked down at his own phone case staring at the picture of him and Wooyoung with small rilikuma stickers on it. It was the picture they took the day they debuted. He rubbed his thumb over the case feeling his heart breaking in his chest. He didn't want to cry over this, so he flipped the phone over and stared out the window, plugging in his air pods to drown out the giggles behind him.
They arrived at the show and Yeosang plastered on his tv smile waving to the host and the crew as they entered the set. It was set up very similarly to weekly idol, a completely white set with some chairs fort the boys to sit on.
They were introduced and did all the normal variety show things first, the mood very happy and exciting.
Yeosang watched San place his hand on Wooyoung's thigh and quickly turned his head. He was at the end of the row, Yunho directly beside him.
The first fifteen minutes was just some pointless games solely for entertainment purposes that really had no substance. Wooyoung and San were on a team together for every game which just worsened the way Yeosang felt. It's not like Yeosang didn't wanna be on a team with the other members but he was craving any affection or attention from his best friend, but it felt like Wooyoung didn't even know he was there. He watched them high-five after winning another game and he turned around once again not wanting to see them rubbing their friendship in his face.
After they finished the physical games, they had a Q and A segment. The host began reading some questions form Atiny to the members and they answered them as honestly as they were allowed to by their company.
Yeosang watched Wooyoung closely as he answered his questions and froze when one particular question was asked.
"So Wooyoung-shi, at atinygurl4ever wants to know who your favorite member is if you had to pick one." The boys laughed thinking the situation was funny none of them expecting anyone to get hurt by whatever his answer was since it was just a silly show.
