Heart Me | A DoWoo fanfic ✔

chapter 3

Doyoung felt nice and comfortable in Jeongwoo’s embrace. But it was getting too long. Even if he liked that hug, he wondered to himself, “Why isn’t he letting go?”

And Jeongwoo felt so calm and amused after hugging his friend. Doyoung’s small frame and the baby powder scent coming from him was just so cute for the younger boy. Doyoung’s shirt’s fabric was soft and so was his milky white skin underneath the fabric. And as a whole, Jeongwoo just didn’t feel like letting him go.

Not that Doyoung was complaining though. His heart was beating faster and he felt happy. He knew he felt something for his closest friend who was hugging him. But Doyoung kept thinking it was just a friendly kinda love caused by how Jeongwoo stayed by his side always.

But as they were having the best times of their lives, Doyoung felt someone’s presence. And when he opened his eyes staying in the hug, he saw some boys’ figure at the entrance of the boys’ restroom.

In an instance, he pushed Jeongwoo out of the hug. The boys looked at them at the sudden action. Doyoung looked at Jeongwoo’s eyes with a fearful expression. He knew something was gonna happen.

But Jeongwoo didn’t look like he was afraid or tensed. He simple intertwined his hand with Doyoung’s. The shorter one tried to let go but Jeongwoo put some force on Doyoung’s hand with his own. Giving a nudge as a symbol of reassurance, Jeongwoo swiftly left the restroom, hand in hand with Doyoung.

After what happened with Jeongwoo the other day in the washroom, Doyoung felt happy. He understood how much Jeongwoo cared for him and the hug gave him butterflies.

But the fear of rumours spreading around made him insecure, mostly about his friendship with the younger one. Will Jeongwoo still be as close friends with him if a rumour takes place? Will they be as comfortable as they were before? These thoughts made him overthink about everything. Whenever someone stared at him or even glanced at him, Doyoung felt like they were thinking about the possible rumour that could take place. Every time someone simply laughed around him, he felt like he was being teased and mocked.

But after all, he tried to convince himself that nothing would be happening because of a single hug. Friends can hug too right? That slight hope made Doyoung relieved.

But his worst nightmare came true after two days when he heard a group of friends talking about him and Jeongwoo being a couple. Maybe they were supporting it? Doyoung tried to convince himself until he finally realized how most of the people were mocking.

“Oh my- that boy seduced Park Jeongwoo?”

“Seriously gay?? But didn’t Jeongwoo like girls?”

“Ew please they would make the worst couple ever! Like a boy with a boy oh please, I wanna vomit.”

“But they do look cute together.”

“I can’t believe Jeongwoo can be manipulated so easily. Like geez!”

“But the new boy does have charms! Like I find him pretty cute.”

“Oh please, this is shit ! I bet they won’t last a month!”

Doyoung walked through the corridor and he couldn't help but hear all these things being talked about him and Jeongwoo. He did feel nice hearing those one or two supportive comments. But his biggest fear was about his dear friend Jeongwoo's reaction after getting to know about the rumour going on about them.

Doyoung took the opportunity and sneaked out of the classroom to avoid any interactions with Jeongwoo. He stayed in a washroom stall the whole time, using his phone to pass the time.
