"Hyung, are you really sure about that?" Jungwon still had hope. He knew that Sunghoon guy wouldn't be a good man for Heeseung - a person he didn't perceive as mentally stable.

Heeseung figured the idea the younger tried to inject in him with his question's, "Jungwon-ah, you imagine too much; Sunghoon is very friendly, you just don't know him well enough!" he kept persuading the latter.

Before Jungwon could respond, Heeseung continued, "Also, Jake literally said the same thing as you, did you two ganged up on me for finally having someone?"

Those words made Jungwon feel a bit guilty; he was ashamed of his action, histurning his head to the left - wanting to avoid Heeseung's mad face.

"Tell me, Jungwon, are you jealous? Because that's how such a person would act, don't you see it?" Heeseung spoke, sternly looking at the other.

Jungwon's opened wider as if realising something. Maybe those harsh assumptions of his hyung, which sounded almost like they were said by a prosecutor who was dealing with a criminal, consisted of truthful observations. After all, the raven-haired was his dear friend, he respected him a lot.

It became silent. Feeling the atmosphere only getting worse, Jungwon opened his mouth to speak, "I see it now, hyung."

The younger turned to Heeseung again, confidently looking into his eyes, "I was just jealous of you, I should've congratulated you and supported you... I'm sorry," he bowed, a tear forming in his eye.

"Hey, get up now, it's fine," Heeseung made Jungwon stand straight. "I forgive you. Just believe me, Sunghoon is a good guy, okay?" he said, keeping eye contact with the younger, slightly smiling.

Jungwon smiled back, "Yes, I believe he is."

"That's better," Heeseung patted his arm. "Now I need to hurry up if don't want to do my homework till midnight."

"Understable, so... L-E-T apostrophe S-G-O!"

'I really need to get this book, it's due Monday and I haven't read a page yet,' Heeseung reminded himself as he walked through the hallway. 'A quick visit in the library may help...'

The boy eventually stood in front of the door to the library, reading the room number to avoid entering the wrong place.

Stepping in, he looked around then bowed to the librarian. An elder, seemingly welcoming lady nodded to him. Once greeting with her, Heeseung went towards some labyrinth-like alleys made out of bookshelves.

'That will take a lot of searching, I think I'm not ready-'

Choosing a random alley, he went in the undiscovered area full of knowledge, immediately feeling overwhelmed with the amount of colourful titles.

It took him some time to find a section with books starting with the same letter as the one he was searching for, though he still had a bunch to search through.

Focused on reading each one of the titles precisely, squinting his eyes a little while doing so; he analysed every bookshelf.

Being so immersed in the activity, a book moving before his eyes startled him.

"Ah!" He whisper yelled, moving away from the shelf.

"Shh, we're in the library, love," the one who caused the book to move stated.

"S-Sunghoon? What in the world are you doing here?" The older asked, still in shock.

Sunghoon walked around the shelf to get closer to the other and not see him only through the furniture, "Checking what's my boyfriend up to," he responded simply, grinning.

"Me? I am looking for a book because-"

"Here," Sunghoon handed him the book the older searched for. "You were seconds away from finding it, but I disturbed you..."

"Thanks," He looked at the cover. "Yes, that's the one," Heeseung came closer to the younger and gave him a peck on the lips.

"You're welcome," Sunghoon responded. After a short pause he sighed then looked away from Heeseung. "By the way..."

The other hummed, waiting for him to continue.

"I hate to say it, though I think we need to establish some things before they get out of hand."

"And by the "things" you mean...?" Heeseung heard Sunghoon's tone of voice altering, making the boy wonder why.

Sunghoon finally glanced at the older, slightly raising his head up to show his dominance, "I'm talking about the people that may unnecessarily try to mess with our relationship."

"Go on."

Seeing the older not being bothered by his introduction to the topic, he attempted once more to frighten the other, "I've heard that your friends had something against me as your acquaintance and as a partner too. Do you happen to know anything about it?"

Sunghoon's face was blank yet demanding, probably being capable of scaring away more timid people.

Although Heeseung liked the confident and stern side of the blond, he didn't want to make him feel like he's in control, so the older decided to humiliate him a little - not much, though.

"Oh honey, you're scared of my abandoning you because of my friends, hmm?" he asked, innocently staring at the other with his doe eyes.

Sunghoon felt his face getting warmer, quite embarrassed from the older's response.

"No need to worry, Hoonie, I do not intend to let them influence my perception of you. Also, I talked with Jungwon - the younger one - and he seemed to quickly have changed his perspective..."

'Hoonie?!' thought the blond, "Um, but how did he change so fast?"

"I have my ways," he smirked.

'He must've somehow manipulated him then, sly one,' Sunghoon pondered. "Good, but I'm still not convinced that it's enough to solve the issue." He wasn't going to let go of the topic that quickly.

"Why? Don't you believe in my love for you?" Heeseung questioned, deep down the words of Sunghoon's affected him emotionally.

"Of course I do, hyung, but having a little rule wouldn't hurt us," he took the older's hand in his.

"A rule sounds serious.. I don't know."

"A rule to keep our relationship healthy!" he squeezed Heeseung's hand as he said it enthusiasticly. "From now on whoever wants to disturb our relationship needs to be got rid of."

The said rule made Heeseung shiver, this could mean he would have to give up on Jake and other people in the future.

Seeing his deer zoning out, he reassured the latter, "It's for the better, hyung. Also, this rule applies to me to. This way we won't have to worry about losing each other."

Sunghoon took both of his lover's delicate hands together and placed them near his chest, "It will be just you and me," he spoke with the most calming voice. "What do you say?"

"That's..." Heeseung looked withdrawn and pensive, his mind being crushed with countless thoughts.

"Yeah, this is the right solution," he said, looking into Sunghoon's eyes.

"I love you, hyung."

"I love you too, Hoon."
