Enjoying My Time With You | HEEHOON

Chapter 10

Sunghoon had gone over with his life as soon as they had returned from the wedding. He had taken exactly two seconds after waking up to decide that he was not going to talk with Heeseung about the whole thing, and he was so glad when Heeseung agreed. It had also broken his heart a little, but he could ignore that. 

He’d done a fairly good job at pretending everything was perfectly fine, good enough that no one questioned them. Every day he’d fake not feeling his heart breaking a little more as Heeseung’s scent started fading, and every day he’d go to sleep hugging Heeseung’s shirt he had stolen from him. He almost cried when the shirt stated loosing Heeseung’s scent as well, he had planned on getting over Heeseung by the time his scent was completely gone. 

Two weeks after the wedding, he was still pretty much in love with Heeseung, but now he didn’t have his scent around him. He hated it, he hated it so much. But he had been the one to ask for this and Heeseung had agreed so easily, there was no way he wanted anything more. Jungwon was probably starting to suspect something was wrong, not just because he had to be sneaky about the shirt, but because his mood kept getting worse with each day.

There was also the thing with his heat being late, but he was not going to think about that and what it could mean. He refused to believe he was that unlucky.

Unsurprisingly, though, it had been Jake who called him out on his bullshit first.

“Okay, whatever it is, you have to tell me,” Jake had taken him out for ice cream and Sunghoon should have known it was a trap then.

Instead of denying it, he sighed, “I had sex with Heeseung-hyung.”

“Did he force-”

“No! God, no, why is that the first thing you two think?” Did he look that defenceless? Did they really think he’d let anyone take advantage of him just like that?

“Who else thought that?” Jake asked instead.

“Heeseung-hyung,” Sunghoon ate some more of his ice cream, “we were a little drunk.”

“Wait-” 

“Not that drunk, stop overreacting,” he fixed Jake with a stern look, “Heeseung’s cousin was being an asshole and he defended me and I… said more than I should have and then we had sex.”

“Fine, okay, and then?” Because that couldn’t have been the end of it.

“And then I told him we should forget about it,” he mumbled around a spoonful of ice cream.

“You told him… what?” Jake looked at him like he had gone crazy, “why would you tell him that?!” 

“It was for the best,” he still believed that, even if it hurt.

“For the best,” Jake repeated not believing what Sunghoon said, “I say this in the nicest way possible, but how stupid can you be?”

Sunghoon was taken aback, he was sure Jake would understand why he said what he did, “I’m not stupid, I didn’t want to end up hurt.”

“How did that work out, then? Because I know you, I know you are hurting,” Jake crossed his arms and Sunghoon wanted to disappear, he was right, even if Sunghoon was ignoring the pain.

“What did you want me to do? Sit there and tell hyung how I feel for him to reject me?” The words came out in a defeated breath, he didn’t need that.

“He wouldn’t have rejected you,” Jake told him, his tone certain leaving almost no room for arguing.

“Yes, he would have,” Sunghoon, however, argued anyway.
