i was in my room, printing photos i took a few days ago of the engaged couple per douhyun's request. as i was printing and making sure they were perfect, i heard a knock on my door. "come in!" i say.

junhyuk walks in, sitting down on my bed. "i have something to ask you." i stop my printing to look at
him. "what you need? hurry though because douhyun wants me to print out his engagement photos i took." he looked at me with a surprised look. "you knew?"

i nodded. "have been since i ended up in their shared cabin after i got drunk to celebrate a murder. i don't get why they kept their relationship a secret for a long time." he nods. "i didn't come here to ask about that though."

"ask away." i tell him. "so, what made you realize that you were aroace?" i raised an eyebrow and smiled. "it all started in highschool. i dated this girl. it was a very uncomfortable relationship because i didn't really like her but i wanted to look cool for the popular guys i considered friends at the time. it ate me up inside that i was dating someone i didn't have feelings for. i then realized i didn't have feelings for anyone. romantically nor sexually. i remember the night i googled it like i was googling my symptoms. i saw the labels and went with it."

junhyuk nods. "what about the girl?" he asked. "broke up with her the day after. the same day i came out to my group of friends. they all left me and started calling me slurs. it didn't stop for awhile until i said some things about them that seemed to shut them up quickly."

"what about the girl?" he asked. "she got married a couple weeks ago. i saw on her instagram." i said. he nods and gets up. "i was always curious because it seems you get teased for absolutely nothing."

is this real? is this fucking real? are they finally understanding that i'm not "bitchless" or "just don't wanna fuck".

junhyuk opens the door to walk out when all of a sudden, everyone was gathered around, with guilty expressions on their faces. "now you know my story, you can stop teasing me for never dating."

"well we are sorry." dongpyo says. everyone nodded in -agreement. i smiled and patted his head. "all good. now i have to go meet with a friend. see ya fucks."

i walked out and went straight to my car. i get in, started the engine, and drove to said friend's house.

everyone is finally understanding what aroace really means. they cared to listen through the door. i finally don't feel misunderstood for once.

i arrive at said friend's house. i turn off the car, get out, and walk to the door. i knocked on the door. it was doyoung who answered the door. "hey bestie." he pulled me into a hug. "long time no see doyoung." i hugged back.

"come on in. i'll make some tea." i nodded and walked in. me and doyoung got close overtime after the interaction at the restaurant and both sharing that we were both indeed aroace.

i sat down on the couch while i waited on doyoung to bring my tea. as i was waiting, i heard my phone ring. i take it out of my pocket to answer it. "hello?"

"hey its junhyuk. are you mad at us the slightest? is that why you ran to a friend's house?" i chuckled as his dumbass question. "no. you're such a dumbass. i guess shouu is into that." i can hear chuckles from the phone. "alright. i'll leave you to it." i hung up.

i put my phone down as doyoung comes back with two cups of hot tea. he sat next to me as he sipped his. "so what's up?"

"two of my best friends got engaged to eachother. everyone finally understanding i'm aroace and not "bitchless". how about you?" i sipped my tea. "ah, well congrats to your best friends and i'm glad they're understanding! yuta and mark got married a little over a week ago. they're currently on their honeymoon so i've been in charge of the restaurant."

i nodded with a smile. "well congrats to them."

i decided to stay the night. we spent most of the night talking about random things until i passed out on his couch and he did the same thing in his bed.
