Leedo's point of view

It's been two weeks of Hajoon ignoring me or straight up bailing on our plans. I decided to give him some space because maybe he's going through something. Often times we need a break from life, friends included and I respect that.

Imagine my surprise on my first day to the new campus, and he avoided my complete existence to hand with a bunch of people I don't know.

It pisses me off because why?

Dad: Damn, what did the box of cereal do to you?

I stare at the crushed box in my hand before shaking my head.

Me: Has Godfather ever ignored you for weeks?
Dad: When we were younger and I'd make jokes about how he'd never get Santana.

He's so petty.

Me: So never for no reason?
Dad: No, why?
Me: Hajoon has been ignoring me. He won't respond to my texts or calls either.

He hums.

Dad: Maybe he needs space, a little time to gather his thoughts. You guys have been close for a while so im sure it's nothing. Although if it's bothering you make sure to talk to him about it.

After breakfast i worked out for a hour, then hit the shower. Trish texted me about meeting up to go shopping and I said sure.

She waves excitedly and I smile.

Trish: Hey!
Me: Hey, don't you look pretty.

She does a spin in her violet sundress.

It's no surprise when she drags me into her favorite soy candle place. She tells me all the time how her and her girlfriend would come here every weekend.

Me: When is she coming in town again?
Trish: Sunday! That's why I really want to find a soft scented candle for her gift. Strong smells make her sick.

I walk over to a stand and pick up a candle titled "peace."

Me: It burns slowly and it has a soft cotton smell, almost like fabric softener.

She sniffs and before smiling.

Trish: This is perfect! How'd you know?
Me: My friend Hajoon gets headaches around strong scented candles so he likes the soft ones too. I remember being in his room when he lit this and it smelled wonderful.

She grabs two of those and a few wax melts. When we were done I dragged her into the sneaker store. Keeho has been whining about a certain pair selling out online and tada! They have them in store.

I get us matching pairs making Trish smile.

Trish: I wish I had a twin, you guys are so cute.
Me: It took a while to get there. I'm still trying to right my wrongs.
Trish: I only know bits and pieces of what you told me but I'm sure he forgives you. Now is all about you forgiving yourself.

On our way to the food court we see Hajoon with a group of unfamiliars. Trish sees him and waves.

Trish: Oh! You're from the party. How are you?
Hajoon: Fine.

Trish gets taken back by his rudeness but shrugs it off.

Me: Dude what's with you?

His eyes meet mine and they're cold.

Hajoon: Nothing.

Being a Nakamoto means my patience is thin. It all ran out for the day.

Me: Can we talk?
Hajoon: Maybe some other time.

Nope.

I grab his arm leading him away from his "friends", he's fighting me but I'm stronger than him. Or I'm at least this strong due to annoyance. Once we're in a isolated place i let him go.

Me: What the hell is your problem?
Hajoon: You just dragged me away from my friends, I'm fine. What's your problem?
Me: You're my problem!

His eyebrows furrow.

Me: You've been ignoring and avoiding me for weeks! You'll see me in person and walk the other way, you're acting weird and it's pissing me off.

Besides my parents and some of the other adults, Hajoon was the only one who wrote me in jail. He assured me even when I'm alone I'll never be lonely.

Yet here he is leaving me.

Abandoning me over nothing.

Me: If you don't want to be my friend anymore that's fine, I won't force you. But at least tell me why? At least tell me why I'm losing one of the only people I give a fuck about.

He blinks, his eyes watering.

Hajoon: You care about me?
Me: What kind of dumbass question is that? Of course I do.
Hajoon: You don't care about me the way I do for you.

Now it's my turn to be confused.

Hajoon: I always was worried for you while you was away. Wondering if you were doing okay or if you were eating well. We were best friends, two misunderstood boys. Then more and more each day we became closer.

Frustration fills his eyes.

Hajoon: There was a lot of things I needed to do to get my life in order. Moving on from Yuki, forgive Felix and finding my peace. After all of that I laid my eyes on you and everything changed. With a clear heart and clearer mind I fell for you Leedo.

Hm?

Hajoon: I fell for my bestfriend, I love my bestfriend. After Yuki you're the only other boy I can picture myself being my real self with. So no I can't hang out, I can't be around you, I can't do it. So just leave me alone.

Hajoon's point of view

I run.

I never wanted to make him upset but that was the only moment that felt right, the only moment where I had the courage to say that.

Now that I did I'm sure I lost a friend for life.

The thought slows down my movements.

Damn!

I'm such a..-

"Dumbass."

I gasp as someone yanks me around to face them.

Me: Leedo?

He presses his lips against mine without another word.
