❝Well, he clearly noticed my intention to avoid him. I scoffed. Is he trying to boss me around?
"Not everyone is willing to follow whatever you say just because you're the handsome face of the school." I spat at him.❞
❝"I'm not gonna fail a class ju...
Everything eventually led to me and Beomgyu-hyung obviously telling our parents about our relationship. To say the fact that my parents were shocked... yeah, they were.
My mom knew that I was against me being associated with or being part of the LGBTQ+ community. I never told her, specifically, what kind of rumors were going around about me, but the rumors themselves are the reason why I didn't want to be associated with the community.
Even though she liked Beomgyu-hyung (as my friend), she never thought of us ending up being together as a couple. They will take time to understand, but I'm glad they support me.
When I went to meet Beomgyu-hyung's parents, they did react quite... impulsive, but after we all talked, they relaxed at the fact of seeing us together.

Yeonjun's POV:
Things were getting better as time passed. Taehyunie and Beomgyu were happy together. I was with Soobin. Though... we seem to have less time for each other day by day. Whenever I try to schedule a date for both of us, he would have a reason as to why he can't come. In school, he would always go to Taehyun. It's like we are drifting apart.
And I don't know why.
Even during break week, we couldn't see each other once. He would never open the door when I knocked. He would answer me with short replies to my messages. When I called, I was hearing screams in his house, so I understand why he couldn't pick up.
Maybe I've taken too much of his time when I wanted to be with him. But he should've told me...
I should meet up with Beomgyu. We haven't hung out for long.
But I'm worried. The feeling that something is off just can't leave me.

3rd person's POV:
"Woah, I missed this!" Beomgyu said as he enjoyed his smoothie, as he and Yeonjun walked around the park like they used to.
"I know, right. We haven't done that in forever!" Yeonjun agreed. "How's it going with you and Taehyun?"
"We're spending so much time together now, that he feels bad for not hanging out with Hyuka and Soobin-hyung. I mean, heh, you claimed Soobin-hyung, so he was probably with you." the younger boy said, chuckling when he noticed Yeonjun's face gloom.
"What happened between you two?"
"Nothing happened! That's the thing. For a while, I just feel like I can't reach him in any way. Even now, during the break, I can't even talk to him properly. Our conversations are too short." Yeonjun explained.
"Do you know where he lives? Maybe you can give him a surprise visit." the bear suggested.
"I do, but I don't want him to get in trouble because of me. His parents are quite strict and don't allow anyone to show up without being invited." Yeonjun came up with a quick lie to keep Soobin's family issue a secret. He hated that he did right the second the words escaped his mouth as if they were true.
"I'm pretty sure you're overthinking it, hyung. Soobin-hyung is a nice guy, so he is probably just caught up in some shit. Maybe his parents got him busy with chores and stuff. Who knows? My parents are strict too, that's why they're still slowly accepting the fact that Taehyun and I are together." Beomgyu tried laughing it off with a slight chuckle.
The rest of the time Yeonjun spent with Beomgyu, he tried not to think of how much he missed Soobin since it was his and Beomgyu's time together.
"Oh! I've got an idea! Wanna crash over at Taehyun's? Kai is there too, so we can hang out as a group!" the younger suggested as the two mentioned the boys in their conversation.
"'Ight! Let's bring up the snacks too!" the blonde agreed excitedly.
"Why? I've got my own snack there." Beomgyu smirked, feeling proud of the wordplay he just pulled off. He forgot who he was talking to.
"First, not in front of the child. Second, if you're are the only one with a snack, you'll have to share, which I know damn well, you won't."
"Well damn, hyung. I won't share him unless he is up for it."
"Really?? You're seriously up for it??" Yeonjun exclaimed and wiggled his eyebrows.
"I'm not sharing him or myself with you."
"I can't even imagine that. Too weird--"
"Yeah--"
. . .
"There is Hueningkai--"
"Oh SHUT UP!" the boy hit the older, knowing what he had in mind.
The two laughed and headed to the bus station, waiting for the right bus.

Beomgyu's POV:
Yeonjun-hyung and I quietly entered Huenigkai's house, with the help of his mom, which is where Taehyun and he were.
"GUESS WHO!!" I yelled barging into the room where the two maknaes were, scaring them. "Soobin-hyung??" I saw the tall bunny sitting on the floor in the room next to Kai.
He simply waved, confusion still shown on his face.
"What are you doing here?? I thought it's gonna be only Taehyun and Hueningkai!" I exclaimed excitedly. I was happy that he was there since he and Yeonjun-hyung will finally get to spend some time together.
"Yeonjun-hyung texted me to come over....?" Soobin-hyung answered and slowly pointed at Yeonjun-hyung as he was speaking.
"OH!!! So that's why you were smiling like an idiot at your phone!"
"I-- I wasn't--"
"Yes, you were, no need to act all-so-tough with your boyfriend here. You are just a cute softie, hyung," I patted his shoulder and proceeded to join Taehyun and Hyuka on the floor.

Soobin's POV:
I was nervous.
Avoiding Yeonjun-hyung was hard enough already. I felt bad, so I came here because he asked.
But it hurts.
It hurts me, and to realize that he is probably worried and hurt because of me, hurts even more.
