Ordinary Confession | HoonSuk [✓]

04

My step stopped as I saw a very familiar figure a few meters from where I'm standing. I squinted my eyes to make sure I didn't mistake it for someone else. As if squinting my eyes can improve my vision. But I did it anyway. I can definitely tell that one of them is Hyunsuk hyung by the way he's walking and the outfits he's wearing. It's eye-catching even from this far. Well. Probably I just can recognize him because I've been watching him for years. The other two guys with him are our friends from high school, Hamada Asahi and Yoon Jaehyuk.

They walked toward my direction. I just stay there to make sure that they are indeed the people I thought it would be. I can just call Hyunsuk hyung's name because I'm one hundred percent sure that it is Hyunsuk hyung. But I just wanted to make sure that the other two are indeed Jaehyuk and Asahi. Why? I just feel like it. As they walked closer, it somehow gave me a déjà vu. When the first time I ever met them.

"Oh! It's Jihoon," Jaehyuk said. The three of them walked faster toward me. But all I can see is just Hyunsuk hyung, smiling brightly. Too bright that I couldn't even see his eyes anymore. And it's too cute too for my heart to handle it.

"Jihoonie is here," Hyunsuk hyung greeted in the babiest way possible. I'm not sure if he actually sees me as a baby or he's cosplaying as a baby. But whenever he talks to me, he'll always use that baby tone. I'm not complaining though. I really liked it. But is it too much if I want him to only treat me that way? Only me and the baby talk like that. Am I possessive for having that thought? Yes. I only have that thought. Not like I would ever do that even if Hyunsuk hyung somehow someday will be mine. Will he even be mine?

"Nice to meet you," I said to Hyunsuk hyung. I can actually see Asahi making a disgusted expression even though I didn't even directly look at him.

"Just a reminder not to flirt in front of me," Asahi said. Suddenly Jaehyuk turned Asahi to face the other way. With his back facing me and Hyunsuk hyung. "What are you doing?"

"Now they can flirt behind you," Jaehyuk said. Hearing that, Hyunsuk hyung burst into laughter. I couldn't take my eyes from Hyunsuk hyung. I liked this view the best. When Hyunsuk hyung is laughing. When Hyunsuk hyung is happy. I just really liked it. Whenever I see it, somehow I can feel my heart ache but I want to keep making him happy. 

"Right. We're going to flirt behind you," Hyunsuk hyung circled his left arm around my neck from my side. I know that he's just joking but it makes my heart pound so much. I just wish that he won't hear my heartbeat. I can feel that it's beating too fast and loud, as if it would come out from my chest. Control. Keep calm. We don't want anyone to freak out by my reaction. "Jihoon-ah? Are you alright?"

Oh no! Am I getting busted? No. No. I need to cover it up.

"I'm just hungry?" Is that a good excuse? I can hear Asahi scoffing. Hyunsuk hyung looked worried. I feel bad that I make him worried like this. I'm so sorry, Hyunsuk hyung.

"He looked exactly the same as he was back then. When we first time we met him at the soccer club practice," Jaehyuk said. 

"Heh?"

"Right. He was hungry too back then. Jihoonie haven't eaten yet?" Hyunsuk hyung asked. "Let's grab something to eat,"

Suddenly they dragged me along. I was wondering why they are together today. Hyunsuk hyung and Asahi brought his camera as well. Are they working? But why together? And why Jaehyuk is with them?

"I know what's on your mind. That's right. We had a photography job earlier. A combined photoshoot for the models from Jaehyuk's company," Hyunsuk hyung told me before I could even ask. As expected from Hyunsuk hyung. "You want to ask that, aren't you?"
