In this cruel world, there was you.

"You sit on here and I'll clean your wounds first. Get yourself comfortable because this will hurt." Sunghoon says calmly, wetting some tissue so he can dab it on the wounds.

"Okay" the younger replies, nervous he'll scream like a loser if it hurts too much.

The older boy starts to clean his wounds trying to be as gentle as possible to ensure Sunoo wouldn't be in much pain. Although noticing this Sunoo couldn't stop himself from wincing and occasionally sobbing.

Sunghoon looks up to see Sunoo is in excruciating pain and he a pang of sorrow grows in him.

"You are doing really well Sunoo, I just have to put some spray to stop bacteria getting in and bandage your wounds and this will be over. Just squeeze my shoulder if it hurts too much okay." He says trying to fasten this process as much as he can.

Next door to the pair, Heeseung, Jake and Jay were listening to what was going on.

"Why are they lowkey cute together?" Jay asked wondering why these two hated each other so much when they could make such a sweet couple.

"I know right? Plus, they're both so pretty actually. Like I never realised but Sunoo has some really nice features omg his eyes are so cute and-" Jake says before getting interrupted.

"YAH. JAEYUN, you're simping over another person right in front of your own boyfriend. Ugh, I am so hurt." He says dramatically knowing this will make Jake become an apologetic mess for the next few days.

"OMG. I didn't mean it like that Hee. I am so sorry I only have eyes for you. I really love you I swear." Jake begins.

"HELP JAKE STOP. Im just kidding, of course, I know it." Heeseung replies before pecking the boy's head.

"God, you guys are unbelievable. I wish Sunghoon was here so he could suffer your coupley stuff too." Jay says annoyed at the twos PDA although deep down he found the pair cute.

"I think he suffers enough, I mean you have Yunjin, we have each other but he doesn't have anyone. Still, I see potential with those two. Look at Sunoo's smile right now. And Sunghoon is taking such good care. I wish they would be more like this than them bickering all the time." Heeseung says as he analyses all their movements and actions towards each other.

"Oh no Heeseung, I know that look... Don't try and scheme anything. If you think they have potential, then let them find out for themselves" Jake says trying to reason with him but also knowing nothing good will come out of Heeseung's scheming.

"Fine. I won't, just for you Jakey" he replies squishing his cheek.

"You guys make it hard for me to want to live," Jay says pretending to gag at the too causing Heeseung to lightly punch the older and for the three of them to get into a pillow fight.

"Park. What is going on in there?" Sunoo questions hearing a bunch of screams and shouts coming from the other room.

"Who knows? They are so annoying why am I friends with them." Sunghoon replies in a joking tone.

Sunoo giggles at the boy thinking that their friendship is quite sweet actually. He feels a little upset at how he doesn't have a friendship like this. He loves Jungwon and Ni-ki with his whole heart but they live far from him so the two hang out much more together than as a three. He also suspects that the two have been getting a little too close recently, but he won't question it.

"Alright, all done shorty. Do you want to stay over for a bit and eat before you go?" Sunghoon asks politely.

"Wow, you are actually showing some human decency today. Uhm well, what do you have?" The younger questions.

"Yah, don't make me regret me using my kindness on you. Anyway, I have some brownies and doughnuts if you want any." The blonde-haired said.

"As long as you haven't poisoned them." Sunoo says before taking a brownie and munching on it.

"Who said I didn't." Sunghoon teased earning an eye roll from the latter.

"DID YOU SAY BROWNIES?" Jake yells whilst getting hit with pillows by the other two boys.

"YEAH BUT ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T CAUSE A MESS IN MY HOUSE," Sunghoon yells back.

The three come running and snatch the brownies, devouring them and forgetting they were in the presence of Sunoo who was judging them extremely hard, it was obvious by his disgusted face.

"Ugh, you guys are so embarrassing. I promise I am not like them Sunoo." He says scratching his head in awkwardness.

"Why would I care? Are you trying to impress me Sunghoon?" Sunoo said smugly whilst wiggling his eyebrows.

"EW. NO WAY! I just have manners unlike them." He replies calmly.

"Well, thank you very much for your helping Sunghoon. Also, the brownies were great, could have used some chocolate chips but you know. Now I need to go and write my essay so I can beat you" Sunoo says smirking.

"Well firstly my brownies are perfect I don't care what you say. Second, as if, I will surely score higher than you. Lastly, it's kinda dark out and well, would you like me or us to walk you home?" The blonde-haired offers.

Sunoo was slightly struck back that the older had offered him some safety. He wanted to refuse as the boy had done enough but he thought in the long term this would be for the best.

"Uhm, yeah sure if that is okay with you," Sunoo said, almost choking on his words.

"Alright I and Jake will come with you" Sunghoon said, not giving Jake a choice and dragging him along.

Sunoo said his goodbyes to Heeseung and Jay before leaving with the two boys to his house. Sunoo didn't say a word as he just walked with the two following behind conversing with each other. He felt a little awkward but also relieved knowing it wasn't just him and Sunghoon.

The walk wasn't long as Sunoo actually lived a lot closer to Sunghoon than he realised.

"How come I don't usually see you walking home if we live so close?" Sunoo questioned the older.

"We usually go to Jay's house because it's huge or we have basketball after school but this week they are staying at mine cause Jay's house is unavailable for who knows how long." Sunghoon answered.

"Ah okay. Thank you again for taking care of me and also walking me home. I'll go now! Bye Sunghoon and Jake!" Sunoo said waving them off and entering his home.

The two boys walked back to Sunghoons house continuing with their previous conversation as Sunoo had gone out of their eyesight.

"Sunoo are you okay? Why are you back so late, I was worried. You didn't pick up my calls?" His mum asked immediately.

"Oh sorry, mum! I didn't notice you called. I just had to do some studying with Sunghoon and Jake for a project. I'll make sure to text you next time." The younger boy lied.

"Ahh okay, I was gonna say who were those handsome boys out there but it makes sense now. You should try and get with one of them you know." His mum said, a smirk appearing on her face.

"MUM. No way! Jake already has a boyfriend im pretty sure, well he seems kinda too close with this one guy so you know. And Sunghoon, never in a million years. Hate him with my whole heart." Sunoo said protesting against his mother's ideas.

"Okay okay, just joking. Well, it is about dinner time so how about you have some food before you go and study tonight or even better, you just take a break from studying so much!" She says hopeful her son might spend some time with her.

Sunoo felt a pang of guilt but ultimately knew the best thing to do was to study. "Sorry mum, I really need to do well on this essay. I promise to make some time for us soon." He replies knowing it would all be worth it in the end.
