C8: Each Other

They are on their way to the airport to send Emiko back home. “Why did you lie?” Asahi asked again with hands on the steering wheel. “Why are you still bringing that up, it's been two days already! Also, that's pretending, your friend looks so innocent to know violent things.” She defended.

Mashiho sighed as he listened while others could only pretend they are not around because they can't understand either, except Yoshi. He just doesn't want to meddle to someone's business.

“Finally, going home.” She whisper at herself. “I'll go now. Bye! It's great to meet my cousin's friends.” She spoke as she walk when Asahi showed her his palm meaning wait. “Don't you dare skip meals.”

“You know me too well. Bye!” She turned her back as she walk away. “Finally, the troublemaker is gone.” Jihoon said when they heard someone shouted from afar. “I CAN STILL HEAR YOU PARK JIHOON!” It made him embarrassed. “Gosh, you guys are really cousins.” Jihoon massaged his forehead as Yoshi smiled. “Just how unique their genes are.”

╮(＾▽＾)╭

“Doyoung! What is happening in here?!” Junkyu shouted in pure surprise as he saw Jeongwoo and Doyoung sitting close to each other, like super duper close.

Doyoung flinched and flew away from Jeongwoo as the other guy threw a notebook at Junkyu's face, accidentally. “Ugh.” He groaned as he took the notebook.

“Seems like someone is going to be buried alive.” Haruto spoke behind his back as Junkyu charge to the guy. Jeongwoo ran for the door but got caught by Junkyu. Fortunately, Junkyu's best friends, held the furious guy.

“Complete opposite from what she said.” Mashiho spoke looking at the chaos.

....

“Explain.” Junkyu demanded in a stern voice. Jeongwoo fixed his clothes that almost got torn with Doyoung who ruffled his hair in frustration.

“We are just studying hyung!” He defended. “Yeah? That close? That we only need to stick your faces together because of the closeness?” It made Jeongwoo scratch the back of his neck.

“And what is that? As you look up it's like you guys are ready to kiss each other.” Jihoon spoke in his protective brother mode for Doyoung. “Can you please tell us what actually happened?” Yoshi asked in his soothing voice which also made others calm.

“Well... he is courting me.” Doyoung confessed which made everyone widen their eyes, even Asahi who is dozing off at the sofa. “WHAT!” They all shouted in unison which made the two guys more embarrassed.

They were all talking to the newly arrived person when Doyoung noticed someone kept staring at him so he looked around to meet Jeongwoo's eyes. The guy got flustered after being caught and immediately looked away. Doyoung just thought he was thinking of something. He is completely wrong though.

.....

“You like Haruto's pair's brother, right?” Well, that didn't go unnoticed with Haruto and Emiko. “Wait, my pair?” He asked in confusion as she shut him down. “Right?” He just awkwardly nodded. “Why not court him?” She suggested.

“It's not that easy. They already had a record of me messing around with him.” She sighed and scratched her forehead. “Well if you sure want someone to take him away from you, it's fine. I heard many confessed to him already. We do—” “Okay, fine! I will.” He gave up. He knew where it would go. If a person surpassed Doyoung's standard, he will be forgotten also his feelings for the guy.

“Hold on, Emiko, are you trying to get himself killed by Junkyu hyung? I already told you how protective he can get to his brother.” Haruto butt in which made the younger glare at him.

“Seriously? If you would keep that mouth of yours shut then he wouldn't die! Remember, he's your friend. You gotta do some favor for him, especially that he is the first friend you've earned here.” He looked at Jeongwoo who gave him a pleading look making him nod.

“Make sure to not make it obvious and keep your mouth shut or I'll seriously make sure to sew it.” He crossed his heart and raised his hand.

“Bye.” She waved as the two went back to the group.

“And you let him?!” “Its not like I'm gonna answer him already, plus, if ever I'll reject him, he'll be back as a friend, right Woo?” Doyoung asked in panic which changed the guys expression hearing the word 'reject'. He just nodded. “See?”

Yoshi nudged Junkyu seeing and feeling Woo's genuine admiration to his brother. “What?” “Aren't you a little harsh? The guy is genuine, you see? He got brighter ever since Doyoung let him court him. Isn't the guy our friend already?”

It made Junkyu think twice before sighing. He pitied the guy seeing his sullen expression of Dobby's word. “Okay fine, but make sure you don't hurt each other, okay?” It made Jeongwoo smiled again and hugged Junkyu. “Thanks hyung!” They chuckled at the guy who'll soon be Junkyu's brother-in-law.
