'san, i need to talk to you. i know you're still sick but jongho told me you're feeling better. so just, let me know when i can see you. <3'

san stared at the text he got from wooyoung. it had already been over a week since the two males had seen each other and it was killing the both of them.

they had texted yes, of course san wasn't actually ignoring him. but the physical contact and seeing each other's eyes were something they were missing, longing, needing.

"you've been avoiding him for a whole week now!" san's brother stormed in his apartment without any warning or even a knock. "what is going on?"

san sat up straight from the couch he was lying on with a confused expression. "what- nothing. i haven't been avoiding anyone, i've had fever!"

"yeah right, you've been completely fine for the last couple of days." jongho scoffed and threw himself beside his brother on the couch. "the same blood flows in our veins, san, i can tell when you're lying."

san glanced at him and sighed deeply, knowing there was no way he could get away from the situation. or maybe he could squeeze himself in tiny and disappear if he really tried ?

"i hate it when you're right."

"i love it when i'm right. now spill. what the hell is going on with you and wooyoung, cuz i strongly assume this has something to do with him specifically?"

san took a long breath before speaking, "okay.. maybe i've been avoiding him just a little. but only cuz i just- i'm scared what will happen when he finds out.."

"finds out what, san?"

"that i.. love him."

jongho's jaw dropped slightly. "in like..."

"romantic way."

saying it out loud made san's stomach drop. the fact that he had fallen in love with his most precious friend ever hit him hard. his elbows leaned against his knees and he held his head in his hands. he was nervously ruffling his own hair before slamming his fist against the coffee table loudly.

"fuck! why did i have to fall for him? out of all people?? we were doing great as close friends this is just gonna ruin everything!"

the younger sighed lightly after listening the other male's breakdown. "okay calm down, it's okay.. is that why you've drank a whole liter of booze in the past week?"

san raised his gaze at jongho who had picked up an empty bottle of vodka from san's table. san eyed the bottle and jongho in turns and chuckled awkwardly.

"uh-"

jongho sighed and put the bottle back on the table. "i'm surprised mingi hasn't flied through your wall and strangled you for all the emotional drinking already."

after that san geniuinely smiled a bit for the first time during the whole conversation.

"but san dear, you're missing something here."

"what?"

"wooyoung cheated on his boyfriend, because he wanted you. he slept with you after his break up, because he wanted you." jongho pointed out, underlining the you in the sentences. "you really think he doesn't feel anything towards you?"

san's surprised gaze met jongho's calm one. "how do you know we slept together??"

"i didn't but you just confirmed it."

"ugh- whatever but sexual attraction and romantic feelings are not the same and they don't always come in hand in hand.."

"i don't care, you two need to talk." jongho interrupted the male. "what's the worst thing that could happen?"
