An hour passed in a blink of an eye and Sunoo was still looking at the older boy's face in his lap and stroking his hair. He had not managed to do any revision and instead spent the time admiring the boys' features.  His stomach suddenly rumbles causing Sunghoon to wake up and leaving Sunoo's face scarlet red. The older boy looked up at Sunoo still on his lap and smiled before closing his eyes again.

"Oi Sunghoon Hyung, wake up" Sunoo whispered. The black-haired boy got up of Sunoo's lap flustered but feeling much more energised. Before they could actually start studyinh they were approached by Jake and Jungwon who had just witnessed Sunghoon sleeping on Sunoo but decided to not bring it up.

"Sorry to disturb your clearly very productive revision but it is almost 1 pm and we want lunch" Jungwon moaned at Sunoo for forgetting.

"Okay, okay let's go get something to eat. Come on hoonie." Sunoo stood up and helped up Sunghoon before the four as well as Riki left the school to get some food. As soon as Sunoo saw Riki he could not help but give the younger a huge hug and ruffle his hair again. To Sunoo, he is like the younger brother he never had and so he wants to protect the younger at all costs.

"Hyung, when will you ever stop that. So annoying, my hair looked good earlier." Riki huffed before giving Sunoo a quick hug back.

Sunghoon felt a bit awkward walking with the four as well as feeling of annoyance seeing how close Sunoo seemed to Riki. Luckily, Sunoo noticed and suddenly all five boys were walking whilst debating over what they should eat.

As they arrived at a local cafe, the boys ordered various boba teas and ice creams as well as a plate of cinnamon rolls. They tucked into their not so nutritious lunch and laughed over many silly trivial things. Sunoo's ears were met by Ni-ki's mouth who asked him why Sunghoon was with them.

"Yah Ni-Ki don't be rude. Anyway, we were revising together, and he is my friend now, I think." he replied.

"Think? Do you like him Hyung?" Riki's mouth formed a smirk which rapidly turned into a painful expression as Sunoo elbowed him.

"Sunoo, Ni-Ki. You know it is rude to whisper amongst yourselves Infront of others hmm?" Jake stated causing the arguing boys to both roll their eyes.

The boys finished their meals and walked home, leaving in different directions. Sunoo and Sunghoon walked home together as they lived in the same neighbourhood.

"Hey Sunoo, I know this is a little inconveniant for you, but do you mind if i stay over again tonight?" He asked with hopeful eyes.

"Hoonie hyung, I know the idea of going back home is scaring you, but I think you should go back tonight at least. You can stay with me this afternoon though. However, the longer you leave it the worst it will get so please, for your saftey go back today. My house is always open if you need us though don't worry." Sunoo replied knowing Sunghoon would be disappointed but in the long term it is for the best.

"You're right i suppose. Well let's go to yours to do some revision then." The black-haired boy nodded in agreement.

"Okay yeah let's go!" Sunoo replied excitedly before holding Sunghoon's hand and arriving at Sunoo's place.

The boys spent about half an hour of actual study time before they played Mario kart on the Nintendo switch and Sunoo forced Sunghoon to watch a few episodes of Extraordinary you after finding out Sunghoon had never watched the show. Before they knew it, the moon replaced the sun in the sky and Sunghoon had worked up the courage to go.

"Sunghoon, you will be okay. Just make sure to text me if everything is safe and if not then come here again, I'll take care of you." Sunoo said encouraging Sunghoon it will be okay. Before Sunghoon left, he engulfed Sunoo into another hug and left.
