the next day, seonghwa stayed true to his word and went to meet with jongho at a coffee shop between the two's homes. things were tense as the two sat down in silence, then seonghwa sucked in a nervous breath.
"thanks for coming..." seonghwa whispered.
jongho simply nodded, avoiding eye contact with the older.
"do you want anything to drink or anything?"
"sure," jongho shrugged.
"iced americano?"
"mhmm..."
seonghwa quickly went and ordered for the two boys, then went back to the table and sighed a bit.
"i'm sorry, jjong... there was no reason for me to freak out like that. i-i should've just listened to you. i wasn't thinking... not at all."
"are you really apologizing because you feel bad or are you apologizing because yeosang told you to?" jongho asked bluntly.
"at first... when i asked you to meet? that was because yeosang told me to. but now? i did some thinking last night after sangie went to bed and realized how much of an asshole i was being. i'm sorry, jjong. i mean that."
jongho nodded, processing what seonghwa said. he wasn't sure if he could trust the older, even though he wanted to.
"okay," he said softly.
"o-okay? t-that's it?"
"i haven't forgiven you. i want to... but i can't trust that you're being serious."
"jjong... have i ever lied to you?"
"no... but i've watched you lie to plenty of others, including your own boyfriend."
seonghwa paled, staring at jongho.
"w-what?"
"you've lied to him. more than once."
"what do you mean?"
"you weren't a virgin when you guys got together. you told him you were a virgin. you had him believing that you lost your virginities together when in reality, you had lost it long before."
"who told you that?"
"hongjoong... you know... the person who you actually lost your virginity with."
seonghwa bit his lip, mentally cursing.
"we were drunk, i barely remember it... that's why i told sangie that i was a virgin."
"hm.. okay. sure, whatever."
"what else do you know?"
"ah, well... how about the fact that you told sangie that you don't touch weed anymore even though you're always smoking at min's house? how would he feel about that?"
"jongho..."
"come clean to him, seonghwa. give me a reason to trust you."
seonghwa sat there, shocked, as jongho got up and walked out of the cafe. he couldn't believe the way the tables had turned.
quickly, seonghwa made his way home and ran upstairs, pulling yeosang into his chest the second he got in.
"i know you're still a bit upset with me but i just really need a hug right now..." he breathed out.
yeosang just nodded and hugged seonghwa warmly, a little confused and worried.
"i-i was just at the cafe.. i-i met with jjong and apologized."
"he told me... he said to me that he thinks you only apologized because i told you to."
"it's not true... at first, maybe... but not anymore."
"okay... good."
"sang... i love you."
"i love you too, hwa..."
seonghwa burst into tears, terrified about what might happen following him coming clean, afraid that he would lose the younger boy. yeosang was confused, holding onto seonghwa the slightest bit tighter to remind the boy he was there.
"hwa... what's wrong? what happened?"
"i'm a horrible boyfriend..." he muttered, burying his head into yeosang's neck.
"what? why? hwa... come sit down and talk to me, yeah?"
the older nodded and followed yeosang to the couch, then grabbed his hands.
"p-please don't leave..."
"what? hwa... why would i leave? what did you do?"
"i-i— i still smoke, sang... i-i know how much you hate it but i-it's so stress relieving... i-i'm sorry, i'm sorry... i-i shouldn't have lied."
yeosang gave a sad smile and nodded, squeezing the boy's hands a bit.
"i had a feeling about that... i-i wanted to believe you were telling the truth, but i could smell it on you sometimes, and it was too strong for it to have just been smoked near you."
"i-i'm so sorry, sangie..."
"it's okay, love... you're okay..."
"t-there's more... this one... i-it's worse, way worse."
"oh? go on..."
"y-you know how i told you i was a virgin when we got together?"
yeosang froze before nodding just slightly.
"i-i wasn't... technically. i-i was drunk when i had my first time, i-i don't remember much of it. that's why i said i was... but, i-i really wasn't."
"o-oh..." yeosang muttered.
"i-i should've told you the truth, sang... i-i should've said t-that even though i-i considered myself one, t-that i wasn't. i-i'm sorry, baby... i-i'm so sorry."
"i-it was with hongjoong, wasn't it?" yeosang asked, eyes beginning to fill with tears.
staring at his lap, seonghwa nodded.
"a-and this whole time i thought he was the one lying... god, i owe him an apology..." yeosang sniffled.
"w-what?"
"he's told me time and time again that he lost his virginity to you, seonghwa. a-and i always brushed him off... always told him that he was a liar... and in reality? you were the liar..."
"i-i'm sorry..."
"sorry doesn't change the way your lies caused me to act towards my friend. i don't want to speak to you right now... i'm going to our room."
"o-okay..."
yeosang stood up, tears rolling down his cheeks, then he walked to their bedroom and slammed the door, immediately pulling out his phone and calling wooyoung.
"hey, sangie! w— wait a second... what's wrong? what's going on, bub?"
"c-can you come get me? i-i don't want to be near hwa right now..."
"i'm on my way... do you want to stay the night?"
"n-no... i-i just need to get away for a few hours."
"okay... hang in there, yeah? i'll be there soon..."
"p-please hurry..."
"i'm coming, sangie. i'm coming..."
