Very Unlikely (Seongjoong)

~6~

Jongho pushed himself upward, away from the sink. He was taller than Hongjoong thought.

He had a sweet looking face, but a serious feeling to him. It didn't make Hongjoong uncomfortable. It was an interesting feeling.

"Seonghwa told me about the bathroom incident;"
Jongho began.

Now. Now Hongjoong was nervous. His stomach sunk.

"And? What about?"
Hongjoong interrupted. Trying to keep his hard exterior as he began to slightly freak out on the inside.

"Well. One. I wanted to make sure you were okay. I'll be honest with you, I don't like you, Hongjoong. But seonghwa seems to. And anyone Seonghwa likes, I have to look out for. And two. Because I want an explanation to the rumors about you. Is everything I hear around campus true?"
Jongho's voice was genuine. He seemed interested in Hongjoong's answer.

Wait.

Seonghwa's actually liked him?
It wasn't a show?

"I'm- yeah. I'm fine. Thanks. And about the rumors. That's for you to decide. I can tell you right now I sleep around. That's true. But no one knows me personally on this campus other than Choi San."
Hongjoong responded.

He wasn't fine. But he was working on it. He himself didn't know what was true. He ignored the things said about him. He doesn't remember half the rumors spread.

"I don't want to decide that. Seonghwa told me I shouldn't believe everything I hear. So I'm trying to get at least some of the truth out of you."
Jongho said flatly. His voice still held interest.

"The truth? The truth is I'm a slut who sleeps with anyone and everyone. The truth is, my body is my only good trait. The truth is, I can easily get what I want for the cost of an easy blow job. That's what the truth is."
Hongjoong's voice stayed steady tone and pace.

"Or is that how people veiw you?"
Jongho raised an eyebrow. Hongjoong's words sounded straight from someone else's mouth. Something someone had said to him, about him. Something Jongho had just said about him because it was something he'd heard.

"That's how I view myself. That's how I present myself."
Hongjoong answered.

"Okay."
Was all Jongho said before leaving the bathroom. Apparently gathering all the information he needed.

Seonghwa gathered his books from the library tables. Waving a polite goodbye to the desk woman.

Walking down the stairs of the library, he spotted a familiar person.

Jongho.

Coming from the opposite side of campus.

"Hey Jongho!"
Seonghwa called. Watching the boys red hair bounce as he turned. Smiling and waving to Seonghwa.

"Hey Hwa. You heading home?"

Seonghwa nodded.
