3 months later....

As time began to pass, Sunoo and Sunghoon grew increasingly closer. Lunches that were once Sunoo and Niki, became filled with laughter as Sunghoon joined them. Though Niki despised seeing how close they've become, he couldn't help but take a liking to Sunghoon. Do they openly flirt in front of him? Yes. But they never act on it and as long as that continues, Niki won't have a problem.

However, for Sunoo things weren't so clear. The closer he got to Sunghoon, the more his romantic feelings grew for him, but whenever he felt things escalating between them his mind would go to Niki. Before Sunghoon, Sunoo never thought of Niki in that way. He was simply a younger brother to him, apparently, times have changed.

"Hey, Sunoo! Wait up!" Sunghoon said, catching up to him in the hallway.

"Hey! Everything okay?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to ask you something. Niki and I are getting our hair done after school, wanna come?"

"Why are you guys getting your hair done?" Sunoo asked laughingly.

"No clue. We're bored with how we look so why not"

"I would come but I have tons of homework. You guys have fun though! I'll look forward to your new hair" Sunoo said before entering his classroom.


The next day... 

While Sunoo waited at his usual bus stop, he was wondering where Niki and Sunghoon were. That's weird they always take the bus, Sunoo thought. However, once the bus began approaching the stop, Sunoo spotted what looked like Sunghoon and Niki running towards him. Except they didn't look like themselves. That can't be them, Sunoo thought. But as they stopped and made eye contact with Sunoo, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. 

Sunghoon with silver hair and Niki with black hair...

 "I really didn't think we were gonna make it," said Sunghoon, bending down and catching his breath.

Unable to figure out who looked more handsome, Sunoo stood there stunned. 

"Are you okay Sunoo? You look you've seen a ghost"

Now blushing uncontrollably, Sunoo said, "I just got flustered seeing you guys run, I thought you were gonna be absent or something."

"You sure it's not because of our new hair," Niki said teasingly.

"Shut up Niki," said Sunoo, slapping his arm. "You guys do look nice though".

"Why thank you," said Sunghoon, bowing. 

 "Great, another one teasing me now. Just get on the bus"

As they sat down at their usual seats, Niki noticed Sunoo wasn't as cheerful as he usually was. 

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing" 

"You're pouting so it's not nothing" 

"It's stupid"

"Just say it" 

"I wanna change my hair now" Sunoo mumbled

"Aww you feel left out," Niki said, starting to tickle Sunoo.

"Stop! Okay, okay. Yes, I feel left out." 

"I'll take you after school to get your hair done if you want" offered Sunghoon. 

"Really!" Sunoo said happily. 

"Don't you have skating practice though?" Niki asked. 

"My coach gives me free days every once in a while" 

"But isn't it close to competition season?" 

"Shush Niki. Sure that would be great Sunghoon, thank you!" 

"Can I come?" asked Niki, making sure they weren't going to hang out alone. 

"Sure the more the merrier" Sunghoon said, attempting to fake a smile.
