Renjun and Donghyuck are known to be 'The Savage Duo' by their group of friends. They kinda used to these two's personalities as the younger one is loud and the older one is quiet, but they both complement each other.

They met when they were in their first year of highschool. They weren't in the same class but somehow, destiny managed to make these two meet.

It was in the middle of august, Renjun was studying at the library, peace and quiet. He really likes the sound of a defeaning silence. But it was ruined when a certain boy barged into the library, happily singing some random song Renjun didn't know about. He sighed and tried to focus on what he's doing. The librarian told the boy to be quiet but the boy seemed to ignore her.

As Renjun was reading his literature book, the boy approached and sat beside him. "Hey, I'm Lee Donghyuck, but you can call me Haechan. What's your name?"

He sighed, "My mom told me not to talk to strangers." He continued to read, hoping for the boy to leave. But he didn't.

"Hmm? I told you my name, so technically, I'm not a stranger." Donghyuck let out a chuckle.

Renjun closed his book gently, calming himself down, and look at the boy, "Huang Renjun." He was about to open his book again when Donghyuck snatched it and laughed.

"Let's be friends. You interested me." Renjun furrowed his forehead, but Donghyuck laughed again. His laugh is annoying. "Bestfriends?"

"Whatever."

It's not a good first impression, but they kinda made themselves good friends despite being opposites and in different classes.

They were in their sophomore year when Renjun realized that maybe, just maybe, he likes Donghyuck a little bit. But he didn't know what to do, so he asked one of his other friends.

What if he rejects me?

Donghyuck was having a bad day that time and he didn't know why. Renjun knew it was a bad timing but still, why not give it a try, right?

So, he approached his bestfriend who's sitting on the bench nearby the canteen. Donghyuck was continuously sighing and sighing, pouting and pouting. He thought it was cute.

"H-hey, Donghyuck-ah!" He tried to sound cheerful but his anxiousness made it sound awkward and embarrasing.

"Oh hey, Renjun."

"You look sad, is there any problem?" He looked at the younger worriedly.

"Nothing."

He gulped and sighed a little, "Uh, Donghyuck, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

He hooked his index finger onto the younger's chin to make him look at him, "D-do you still like Minhyung?"

"It's Mark."

He rolled his eyes, "Yeah. Do you still like Mark?" Even though he already knew the answer, he still asked just to make sure so he can prepare himself to be rejected.

Donghyuck slowly nodded, "Y-yes." He looked down and brushed his bangs away from his eyes.

Renjun looked at him and sighed a bit more. "Donghyuck, w-what if..." Donghyuck patiently waited for the older. "What if I tell you that...I-I like you?"
