"now you are sua, and i am haruto", haruto said, drunk at the moment.
sua nodded as she took another sip. "you exist", haruto said patting her shoulder.
sua nodded, "how can i not fall for you?", haruto questioned and pouted.
both of them started laughing.

"you're so funny!"
"but yoshi is funnier?"
sua took a moment to think and then shook her head, "no, he isn't funny"
"okay, one point for me then?"
sua laughed as haruto said that.

"points for?"
"i know you like him, but see-"
"seeing"
"just like me too"
haruto said as a teardrop fell off his left eye, he cleaned it up hurrily.

sua drank more, "what did you say?"
"who? me?"
"yeah, you're haruto, right?"
"yes, i am watanabe haruto, class a, senior secondary year, captain of basketball team-"
"stop stop"
"go go"
"pause pause"
anyone who would pass by would consider them dumb, probably even mentally disconnected from the real world, but them both kept laughing as if they're enjoying it.

"haruto!"
someone called from behind.
it was the friend haruto always trusted, park jeongwoo. he bowed to sua, sua smiled widely. "woah, i've never seen her smile like that-"
jeongwoo started laughing as his friend turned around to see him. "haruto, why are you wearing her glasses-"
"because he is sua and i am yoshi!", sua shouted. jeongwoo sighed and haruto smiled, "i like her!"
jeongwoo looked at him in surprise, "yah-"
"i mean i like him!"
jeongwoo took out a sigh of relief.

"can you both walk to the car?"
"vroom vroom vroom!", sua stood up and walked around.
"get on sua!", she told haruto. haruto nodded and got on her two-seat car. they both walked out of the restaurant, leaving everyone laughing at them.

"how much is the bill?", jeongwoo paid the bill and went out hiding his face. "i am not related to them, i swear", he told everyone in the restaurant.

they were already in the car with jihoon, but to his surprise they were quiet.
jeongwoo got inside the car and looked at his older brother, "what's going on?"
"they're playing a game of who could be quieter for long, the winner wins"
"wins what?"
"just like that, wins"
jeongwoo chuckled. he looked back to see sua was asleep, "one sua is still awake"
"huh?"
"hyung, these idiots were roleplaying as sua and yoshi"
"the main leads?"
"come on hyung, i don't agree with that, our haruto is the main lead"
"so haruto role played as yoshi?"
jeongwoo shook his head as he laughed, "he was sua-"

"alright", sua said as she smiled in her sleep. jeongwoo looked back, "what?"
"she might be talking to herself", jihoon said.

jeongwoo removed the glasses from haruto's face and tried wearing it, "oh? it's the same- why does she wear them then?"
haruto was looking outside, he wasn't asleep, sua was asleep or half asleep on his shoulder.

jeongwoo and jihoon turned around as they heard sobbing. "who is crying?"

haruto cried loudly. "yo- what happened?", jihoon parked the car and they woke sua up,
all of them went inside. haruto kept crying, jihoon made some lemonade for both of them and jeongwoo tried to calm haruto down. the way he cried looked so painful, on one hand jeongwoo was relieved that he is letting it out, but on the other, it was very hard to see it.

jihoon came back from the kitchen, sua was staring into space. jihoon said, "sua, are you okay?"
"hyung, he is crying", jihoon nodded and said, "atleast he is letting it out".

sua looked at haruto and cleaned his tears. the brothers looked at each other and smiled. jihoon made them drink the lemonade.

haruto sighed and continued crying, "he's the same guy who shouted at me for crying", sua said. jihoon asked, "sua, are you in your senses now?"
"yeah, thanks for everything, the lemonade tastes good"
"ew no, it tastes the worst", haruto said.

"why were you crying kid?" sua asked,
"kid? we're the same age!"
"that doesn't answer my question"

jihoon signalled jeongwoo to go sleep and went way as well.
"i was crying because, things are difficult"
sua nodded.
"what is difficult?"
"liking you"
"why?"
"you don't feel the same"
sua started crying. "ugly"
"you!"
"i can't do anything"
"i'm sorry"
"no, you're going through the same thing, you are stuck in the same situation, which is a bit different because yoshi hyung actually likes you back"

sua looked at haruto with widened eyes, "what?"
"isn't it visible sua?"
"why isn't he stopping everything then-"
"maybe he thinks you don't feel the same"
"isn't it visible haruto?"
haruto chuckled sarcastically as he cleaned his tears.

"just confess, you both. end my suffering."
sua looked at him.

sua's pov:

i wanted to do something at that moment, but it would mess things up even more. watanabe haruto, why do you have to cry like that?

i hugged him. he pushed me away, "don't do this to me"
"why not? you comforted me when i was crying"
"i don't want you to comfort me"

i hugged him, "don't push me away"
"you've been pushing me away since forever"
i felt bad, guilty, and every other negative emotion. "why have you been quiet, haruto?"
"would things have changed if i would've spoken up? would you have started liking me instead of my brother"
i sighed and patted his head. he hugged me back.

"thanks"
"thanks to you too, sua, i guess it will end here"
i pulled away.

"what?"
