“ Riki?’’

[This sets after jungwon kicked Riki out]

Riki was shocked. He was speechless. After getting kicked out of Jungwon’s place he went back home and just sat on the couch. Jungwon kissed him , it was more of a peck but still. Yang Jungwon had kissed him.

His crush has kissed him, the boy he’s been in love with since the sixth grade had kissed him… Riki couldn’t do anything but smile. The moment he had waited for had finally come , not in the way he imagined it , but it finally happened. Riki was still in shock that he didn’t hear the door open. Jake and Sunghoon entered the apartment and saw Riki smiling like an idiot. Wondering what made him smile like that they shook him until he snapped out of his daydream.

“ Hey what's got you daydreaming with a huge ass smile on your face?” Jake asked while his boyfriend (sunghoon) was on his phone. Just thinking about it made Riki the happiest man alive. It took him a minute but Riki responded “ Jungwon kissed me “ that made sunghoon look up from his phone and make a Jake’s jaw drop.

Jake and sunghoon have known the pair for years , they also know Riki’s secret love for his best friend. So hearing that Jungwon made the first move was quite surprising. Sunghoon got close and Jake sat next to Riki on the couch “ so are you going to tell us what happened or are you gonna keep us here wondering ?”

“ Well it really wasn’t a kiss more like a peck but it's still something. Anyways Jungwon was saying we won’t hang out for a while and that he needed some space and I thought I did something wrong so I went to his apartment to talk things out. We were talking on the couch and I leaned closer to him because told me something I didn't fully believe , next thing I know he kissed me for a few seconds then kicked me out.” Riki explained to the curious couple.

After finding out what happened sunghoon went back to his phone but his boyfriend was happy for Riki. “ I am so happy for you Riki! I told you Jungwon felt the same. He probably got tired of waiting for you to make a move,’’ Jake said, side-eyeing his boyfriend.

Sunghoon got what he was saying: “ I didn't make the first move because I was scared of rejection.” Jake laughed and then focused back on Riki “ look i get it rejection is scary , that man said he was scared of it but rejected me three times “ now it was Riki’s and Sunghoons turn to laugh but he still continued “ but sometimes you gotta take that leap you know? You'll regret not taking the chance later in the future” hearing that made Riki realize that he is wasting time.

Riki without a word ran to his room to get an outfit for tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day he finally asked Jungwon to be his boyfriend. Riki fell asleep happy and woke up happy. The morning came and Riki couldn’t be more excited. He woke up a little late but that didn’t stop him from taking his time getting ready. He took a few minutes to look in the mirror and once he decided he looked good he left without saying goodbye to the couple eating breakfast.

He thought it would be less romantic if he showed up empty handed so he stopped by a flower shop and bought a boutique with some of Jongwon's favorite flowers. The walk over to Jungwon’s felt short and as he got closer he was still excited but also now feeling nervous. He entered the building waving at the receptionist telling them that he’s here to visit Jungwon. Once Riki got to the elevator his nerves started to rise but he calmed down because he believed this was going to go well.

Finally he had reached Jungwon’s floor. Knocking on the door seemed to be way harder now. He took a minute before he started to knock. After a few knocks and no response Riki took out his phone and was about to call Jungwon until he heard his name.

“Riki?’’ Jungwon asked, making sure it was really him.

“ oh hey Jungwon , I- I was just about to call you “ Riki nervously said

Jungwon walked up to his door, opened it and invited Riki in. “ So what's up with the flowers?” Jungwon curiously asked while removing his shoes. “ Oh umm these are actually for you “ Riki said, handing him the flowers. “ For me? But I’m not celebrating anything “ Jungwon seemed confused while receiving the flowers. Riki was more nervous but he needed to ask the question today. Riki took the flowers from Jungwon and placed them on the coffee table , then he took a hold of both of his hands and looked him in the eyes.

Jungwon was confused and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Riki released a big sigh and then started to speak “ Jungwon I have been in love with you since the sixth grade and after you kissed me jake helped me realized that i have to confess my feelings before i regret it and i wanted to ask if you wanted to be my boyfriend’’ Riki said with eyes filled of love and hope but the look on Jungwon’s face made him worried.

Jungwon looked stunned and upset for some reason Riki was going to ask what was the problem but Jungwon beat him to it “ oh Riki , if i only could be your boyfriend” Jungwon said slipping his hands out of Riki but he didn’t let go “ but Jungwon you can if you say yes” riki held tighter but jungwon managed to free his hands and move away from him

“ no Riki i can't be your boyfriend because I- I have a girlfriend I asked Unmyeong to be my girlfriend before i came home “

Riki’s heart dropped to his stomach and the smile fell from his face.
