"Don't grab my food!"

"I haven't had lunch, lemme have some-"

"You should've ordered more- Yah, Kim Mingyu!"

Seungkwan hit the back of Mingyu's head but the taller guy still gets what he wants, Seungkwan's another slice of pizza on the table.

They were at the nearest pizza parlour to grab some late lunch. They were gathering some attention and Seungkwan hates it so he lets Mingyu have his last piece. He makes a face when he notices a familiar guy coming their way.

"Seungkwan?"

Seungkwan's eyes widen in surprise. "Wonsik hyung?"

The guy smiles at him and greets him. "Hi!" He says before sitting across them. "Can I have a seat?"

"You're already on it, why bother asking." Seungkwan rolls his eyes. "Why are you here?"

"Will grab some late lunch. I visited Dad at the company."

Mingyu leans to Seungkwan and whispers while staring at the guy across them. "Who is he?"

"Oh him? Wonwoo's older brother."

"Eh?" Mingyu looks at Seungkwan with a surprised face.

"What?"

The newly came guy almost forgot that Seungkwan's with his friend. "Oh hi! I'm Jeon Wonsik. Seungkwan's friend?"

"Err, hyung, he knows Wonwoo. Might as well introduce yourself as his brother." Seungkwan props his elbow on the table and rests his chin on his palm.

Wonsik smiles and offers a hand to Mingyu who gladly took it. "Oh, yep. I'm Wonsik, Wonwoo's brother."

"You look nicer than that rude brat. Anyways, I'm Mingyu." Mingyu introduces himself as they shake hands.

Wonsik laughs at Mingyu's remarks. "I get that a lot but don't ever let Wonwoo hear you."

Mingyu frowns. "I've received so much insult from him, it doesn't really bother."

It made Wonsik laugh more. He knows how Wonwoo doesn't really like hanging with people and it shows.

Wonsik's food came when he recalls something. "Anyway, good timing." He says as he grabs his bag and fishes an envelope inside. He gave it to Seungkwan with a small smile. "Here. I hope you still had it in mind."

Seungkwan's face brightens up as he saw the envelope. Mingyu peeks beside him. "Oh, your wedding! Yes, I won't forget. I'll be there of course."

"As you should. I will expect you there. Bring Mingyu as well."

"Oh, no. That occasion is too personal for me to attend." Mingyu shyly rejects.

"I don't mind. It seems like you're close with Seungkwan and Wonwoo so it doesn't really matter. You're highly welcome." He says that somehow convinces Mingyu.

"Oh, it'll be in a month," Seungkwan comments as he scans what's inside the invitation. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you." Wonsik replies with a smile, also blushing. "Anyway, I just visited dad at the company."

"You talked about this?" Seungkwan asks while waving the envelope.

"Nope. I drop off from my position permanently and offered him my resignation letter."

Wonwoo just started with his can of beer when the door buzzer startled him

"How could he- Fuck, who's here to disturb my night?" he silently curses as he stands up to check the guy on the intercom.

"Seungkwan..?" he murmurs as he sees Seungkwan's face on the small screen. He opens the door without hesitation and Seungkwan greets him with a wide smile.

"Hi!"

"Why are you here? I thought you'll visit on weekends-"

"Can't I? Bookkeu misses Jack already so I came even if it is late. Also, I brought some spicy rice cakes, come on!"





"Look at Bookkeu, he really looks lively with Jack. He wasn't like that earlier." Seungkwan comments as he ate a mouthful of spicy rice cakes not really watching Bookkeu and Jack play around. Wonwoo didn't bother to eat and just consume his beer. He didn't let Seungkwan have one.

Wonwoo takes a sip from his can as he lays his back on the couch and didn't bother to take a look at Seungkwan when he asks the question."You knew, don't you?"

"Huh? Knew what?"

"You knew about hyung's resignation that's why you're here."

"I don't-"

"If you're here to cheer me up, it's useless. That's too lame." Wonwoo says as he finishes his can of beer. He faces Seungkwan with a grin.

"No?! Wait, you're assuming that I'm worried that's why I came? Me? Worried? With you? Wonwoo?" Seungkwan mocks him. Wonwoo's grin fades as his face turns red out of embarrassment.

"A-ah.. well, no. That's not- Yah! You're rude!" Wonwoo says. He really does say a lot when he gets flustered.

"I just came here to visit your place." Seungkwan laughs at him, annoying Wonwoo more. "Speaking of your place, this flat is really huge for a single person to live in."

"What? You want to live here?"

"No?!" Seungkwan answers as if the idea is too ridiculous. "You'll probably just order me around."

Wonwoo laughs as he grabs a chopstick and eats as well.

Seungkwan pouts at him. He glares at Wonwoo as he watches the older eat. Somehow, Wonwoo got stains of the red spicy sauce on the corner of his lips making Seungkwan's eyebrows furrow in disgust. "Hey, are you a kid? Can you eat tidily?" Seungkwan comments. He hops a bit to get closer to Wonwoo and reaches for his face, he wipes away the stain of red sauce using his thumb.

"Dude, I swear the rice cakes near the university is the best," Seungkwan adds as he sucks his thumb. He then notices Wonwoo staring at him, stiff and red.  "What-" They stare at each other when Seungkwan starts laughing. "You're blushing."

Wonwoo blinks and pushes Seungkwan making the younger laugh even more. "N-no?!"

"Yes, you are!"

"I'm not!"

"Wonwoo's blushing. Bookkeu! Jack! Look!"

"Fuck it, Seungkwan. You're really annoying!" Wonwoo stands up and dashes off, Seungkwan watches him vanishes to the kitchen.

"I'll stay here for the night! Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch!" Seungkwan yells, enough for Wonwoo to hear.

He doesn't show it but I know he's bothered with his brother's resignation deep inside. Is it bad if I just want to check out on him? Seungkwan thought.

Crazy, he's stronger than anyone I know. He's Wonwoo anyway.








Wonwoo finishes taking a shower after. He feel lighter and relaxed than he is as he steps out from the bathroom. He then saw Seungkwan already laying on the couch as he passes by. He hurries back to his room and wears his clothes. He came back to the living room holding a blanket for the younger.

"Ugly little bastard." He crouches down and covers Seungkwan with the blanket. He stares at him for seconds when a soft chuckle escapes his lips.

You keep on denying it but I know you wanted to cheer me up all along. Maybe you're not aware but you always care for people even though they cause you no good. That's you and you never change since then. You're really annoying. Why are you even like this after everything we've been through? Wonwoo shakes his head with the thought and stands up.

"Goodnight, Seungkwan." He whispers as he takes a last glance at Seungkwan.
