Riki waves good bye to Jungwon as they part ways. Riki heads home still confused and curious about Jungwon's behaviour. He was never too interested in such relationships so he never looked much into it.
"Hyung!" Riki called out to his brother.
"Yea?"
"I need some help. I have some questions."
"Okay? What is it?" Asked Jay.
Riki explains the situation to Jay in details and the older teased him for it.
"Aiguuu my little brother has an admirer now. Look at you all grown up." He said as he wipes he fake tears.
"Hyungggggg" the younger whined. "But what do you mean? Admirer ?"
"It's so obvious. All those actions and shyness, he definitely likes you. No one just becomes like that unless they feel shy or wants to present the best side of them to you, and both ways just means they like you," Jay said.
"No way, he's like the head of the student council and i'm just a junior who's not even well in the head."
"Hey! Don't say that about yourself again! You're amazing the way you are, you've gone through so much and look how strong you are."
"Mm yea yea you said that 10 times this week." Riki rolled his eyes to present that he's annoyed, but deep down he's feeling so loved.
"And it's true! There's no reason someone wouldn't like you, look at you. So cute, talented and handsome, i'm sure he does like you. At most you could just approach him about it."
"Noooooo. I'm not! And I can't just approach him, what if he runs away again?"
"Just lock the door," Jay said and laughed.
"That might creep him out!" Riki exclaimed.
"Ok, then maybe, text him about it?"
"Would it be awkward if he actually doesn't like me?" Asked the younger
"It'll be else awkward online."
"Mm true. I guess i'll text him to ask about it soon."
"Ok, good luck~ may you have a boyfriend soon." Jay laughed out loud.
"He's not going to be my boyfriend!"
Jay calms down and asks "Hey Riki, do you like him too?"
"What? Me? Of course not!" He denied.
"Are you sure?" Jay asked with much doubt
"Yes!"
"Then i think you shouldn't pursue the matter, it might make him more embarrased and disappointed. If you ask him, he might get some false hope."
"Okay then..."
"But Riki, think carefully if you have feelings for him. Don't let the chance to be with someone you like fly away just like that," said Jay.
"I will, hyung." And so the young boy spent the whole night contemplating about what he should do, and trying to figure out what he felt.
Searching online for what it feels like to have feelings for someone and it after reading what others described it as, he had a thought.
"What if i liked Sunoo hyung..."
