Chapter 10: he's like poetry, like prose and love letters and lyrics, cascading down the center of the page.

I had one thing to prove, and that was the fact that I did not have a crush on Matthew! Zihao still doesn't believe me. The only time I could show that was, during sports period, which was after a few classes of korean, standard maths, and English.  Of course, I didn't share those classes with Matthew, hence I could only meet him during sports lecture.

What's better, Zihao will be busy with Haruto, since the juniors and us share the sports lecture all together. What a relief. Instead, I'll have to deal with Gyuvin, Gunwook and Ricky's annoying asses. Maybe it won't be bad since Matthew's also going to be there.

Right, it was eleven am in the morning, and right when I entered the stilt area of the school, I saw Haruto. Went up to him and asked him for a favor. To tell Zihao that I actually like Hao hyung.

"Are you seriously kidding me? It's so weird between me and him. It feels like a common relationship between the two of us." He playfully hit me on the shoulder as he replied.

"Don't worry, he'll talk to you." I grinned at him.

My legs literally got numb as hell when Matthew came into the picture. He looked... cute, with my hoodie obviously. Right, he hasn't returned it yet.

I was about to walk towards him until Haruto blocks my way, spreads his hands and legs to prevent me from meeting Matthew. I rolled my eyes and I said, "Haruto, move aside!"

After that, bro kept repeating "nekkoya" to me to indicate that Matthew is his friend, not mine. I slapped my forehead in disbelief. Thankfully, Zihao came into the picture and suddenly went to say hi to Haruto. He froze right there, and visibly blushed so much. I stepped towards him and pushed him towards the love of his life.

Soon, Haruto grabbed his waist and leaned his head on his neck. Zihao put an arm around his shoulder. The younger sighed and called out his name in a puppy way. "I missed you too!" said the older. 

While they continued hugging each other, I had an opportunity to talk to Matthew

While they continued hugging each other, I had an opportunity to talk to Matthew. I had looked down to his treated hand and did baby steps to walk towards him. I really don't know why but I had twitched my hands. I had sweat tripping off me, and gazed at his face, down to his hoodie:  "Is your hand fine?" I asked him. He smiled at me, nodding. I sighed out of relief.

Those two lovebirds still kept on hugging, while I felt like I needed to take care of Matthew's hands, henceforth I held them and caressed it gently. Then, my waist was clutched by them, pulling me into a hug as well. "Hyung, thank you so much for your concern." He beamed at me while saying this and started to nuzzle himself on my shoulders. I wrapped my hands around his upper back, and holy shit, it felt so warm. My body felt so warm, even with my own hoodie on him. It was like, that comfortable. What's worse, Zihao was literally smirking at me. I just couldn't help but feel even more warmer, specially my face and my ears. It was something that I had wanted to be in forever.

I ruffled his hair and patted him before I broke it. "No problem!"

Matthew went and did a bro fist to Haruto. Looks like he was right. "Since when did you even go and talk to Matthew!" I scowled at him. Seriously,he can be super annoying and a bit dangerous to be around. "Yesterday.Do you have any problem?" Haruto replied. This bitch, I swear to god. Matthew smiled slyly because of me being playfully mad.

"Haruto seems like a funny guy, so why not become friends with him? Plus, he seems very openly flexible."- Matthew answered out of a sudden. I couldn't stop myself but giggle, the moment I heard those words come out from him.

"Yahh! You had said you liked Hao? I knew it that it was false." - Zihao randomly interrupted our conversation. "Bae, he really does. He's not lying." Haruto told him while staring at his bare face. Matthew nodded in agreement. Yes, it's all true. Zihao still shook his face. Still in denial I guess.

"By the ways, I think I've seen you in class. Are you Haruto's boyfriend or some?"- Matthew is so naive when it comes to asking questions, dumbass takes. Both of them blushed so hard and Haruto flinched a little bit, breaking their hug. He rapidly shook his head.

"What if he is." Zihao winked at him, causing him to turn behind and cover his face. "Zihao hyung! Stay out of your delusions." He screamed at him. "Maybe they would turn into reality." He flirted with him again. Haruto screeched his voice like a girl once again, covering his head with his hands both fit parallel.

"What if it did." - I said. "Hey! Focus on your Matth-" the moment Zihao told that. I couldn't help but have adrenaline rushes go through me, and tightly clench Matthew's hand, dragging him outside the stilt area and taking him to the garden side.

"Hanbin that would still not be justified!"- Zihao shouted with his hands covering his mouth.

I don't care.
