"I'll go first," Jihoon said. Hyunsuk just nodded. He watched his boyfriend walk toward Junkyu and Yoshi who's waiting for him not far from where they parted. It has been bothering him a lot when he saw Jihoon talking to Junkyu. Because Jihoon looked like he's having a lot of fun just by talking to that guy.

"Wow. What a hell nasty injuries you got there," Yedam commented.

"Oh. It's you," Hyunsuk said.

"I heard it from Doyoung that you got into a fight after you got a call from Yeonjun hyung. And I heard that Jibeom hyung even got hospitalized yesterday," Yedam said. "Jihoon hyung didn't get mad at you?"

"He's mad at me yesterday. He didn't even talk to me for whole two hours," Hyunsuk said. That two hours of torture. But he's still thankful that Jihoon took care of him; even Hyunsuk did silently complained that nurses and doctors also did that even they didn't care; he's still glad that Jihoon did. And he even sleep over last night and prepared him breakfast this morning.

"And you survived? I'm genuinely surprised," Yedam said. Yedam is one of his childhood friend that knew about the struggle Hyunsuk need to face to get Jihoon to be his boyfriend. Suddenly he remembered about something.

"Yah. You're my childhood friend, right?" Hyunsuk asked.

"As far as what I remembered... Yes," Yedam answered.

"And you've been friend with Junkyu for quite a long time right?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Junkyu? Kim Junkyu? Well he's my other childhood friend tho. It's just you guys never cross path to met each other during childhood. Why did you asked about him? So unexpected," Yedam said.

"Can you list down the difference between me and Kim Junkyu?" Hyunsuk asked.

"What? Really? It will take quite a while because the two of you are totally different type. Are you okay with that?" Yedam asked him back.

"I'll even buy you dinner," Hyunsuk said. He's relieved that Yedam didn't even asked him why he asked Yedam to compare him to Junkyu. It's because of Jihoon obviously.

Hyunsuk noticed that Jihoon looked more happy when he's around Junkyu. And he wanted to know what make him and Junkyu so different that Jihoon acted so differently around them.

"Okay! Call," Yedam cheered. "Where should I start? Okay! Let's start from the most obvious. Height,"

Hyunsuk tried to picture him and Junkyu standing side by side. Yeah. Junkyu is almost 10 cm taller than Hyunsuk. It can't be helped then. Junkyu even has a perfect ratio that make him look even taller than he actually is. Did Jihoon like a guy that's taller?

"Second, your style? Junkyu is more like the type that grab anything from his closet and call it a day. While you. You put a lot of thought on how you'll dress and look," Yedam said.

"True. We need fashion to keep going," Hyunsuk said.

"Third one, your vibe. Junkyu is more like a bubbly cheerful soft boy vibe. While Choi Hyunsuk, is more to cold stylo bad boy type," Yedam added.

Ah.. Vibe. He never actually thought about that. Even though Jihoon is the type that's look serious and strict, he's more like soft boy kind of guy. The way he dressed up, the way he act and even talk. It's totally different to Hyunsuk. But it's a bit similar to Junkyu.

"Fourth. Junkyu is like the one people want to take care of while you, look like someone who's...." Yedam looked at Hyunsuk from head to toe and repeated the action for a few times. "Reliable,"

"Just say that I'm rebellious. I'm good," Hyunsuk said.

"No. Really. You looked reliable. Okay. Just look at yesterday. You don't only look reliable. But you actually a reliable guy. You're strong and manly. You're good at fighting and take care of people around you very well," Yedam said.

"Maybe he wanted to take care of other," Hyunsuk mumbled.

"What did you say?" Yedam asked.

"What else?" Hyunsuk get back to the initial topic.

"Ah. You cook quite well while Junkyu can barely cook. If he manage to cook something edible, the kitchen probably in disaster. You enjoy going out, Junkyu like to stay at home. You can make friend fast, Junkyu will took a lot of time to make friend. You're clear on what you want to do and get it done, while Junkyu, he like to procrastinate.. a lot," Yedam stated.

"What about our similarities?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Similarities? You two deeply attached and care about people you love," Yedam said. "Maybe the approach that you guys took are different but the reason is the same. That you guys had a strong attachment toward people you care about,"

"That's a tricky one," Hyunsuk said.

"Why? You wanted to change yourself so Jihoon will LIKE you more?" Yedam asked. Hyunsuk shocked when Yedam suddenly said that. "Don't act so shocked like that. I know you for so long already that I can read you like a book. And I see why you decided to asked about Junkyu. Jihoon did look quite close with Junkyu. But you don't have to worry. You're his boyfriend. Not Junkyu,"

"But the question is... Did Jihoon ever LIKE me?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Why? What kind of question is that? Then, why did he agreed to be your boyfriend when he didn't like you?" Yedam asked.

"Did you forgot? He once rejected me," Hyunsuk said. "Probably because he's too kind. That he's doing that, he agreed just because of sympathy. He felt bad that I've been following him around just to asked him to be my boyfriend,"

"Wait! Did you really think it's like that? For this whole time?" Yedam asked.

"No. I just started to having this thoughts lately. I was too fool and happy that he's finally is my boyfriend. But what's the different? Nothing. We're just like friends and nothing more. No one actually knew that we're even dated each other. Or are we even dated at the first place? I don't know anymore," Hyunsuk said.

"Have you talked to Jihoon about this?" Yedam asked.

"I'm afraid," Hyunsuk said. "What if he want to break up with me if I asked him about it?"

"Then he's the stupid one then. In a relationship, there's two people. If there's no actual connection shared between this two people, the relationship is meaningless," Yedam said. "I know you're better than this, Hyunsuk hyung. Aren't you're the guy who's fearlessly throw himself into a fight and walked out safe and sound? The guy that everyone feared of? Why are you being scaredy-cat when it comes to this? Is this even make sense?"

"What are you getting so worked up for, Bang Yedam?" Hyunsuk chuckled. But really, he's afraid just by the thought of him and Jihoon breaking up... He hated that.
