To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

A Little Faith

I'm not sure why I assumed Wooyoung would be back to his usual self by the time Yeonjun and I came over, but I was wrong. He was quiet and just needed affection. We were watching Spider Man 2, but none of us could really pay attention. Wooyoung cuddled his entire body into mine, holding my arms close, while Yeonjun sat on the ground and watched from afar.

"Hyunjin." Yeonjun called; I nodded. "I think he's sleeping." I looked down at Wooyoung who was in fact fast asleep. He needs it. I'm sure all the crying wore him out. "I can't believe Changbin told him." He sighed, laying flat with his hands behind his head.

"That was really shitty." I agreed, moving the hair away from Wooyoung's eyes. "Does this happen a lot?"

"San getting with other girls?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah." He nodded.

"So you knew he never had a chance?"

"Yeah." I could tell he was beating himself up. But this just proves my point as to why I keep my circle small. Yeonjun has practically been lying to him and giving him false hope. I'd want to be told immediately if I have a chance or not the second someone knows. "Changbin only told him because he asked."

"Yeah, but you still wouldn't of told him, right?" I was defensive and annoyed.

"Hyunjin, listen. I know you think you're this high and mighty best friend to Wooyoung, but not everyone can be as ruthless and blunt as you." He sat up, ready to start an argument.

"I'm just saying that I would've liked to have known from day one rather than waste two years."

"Yeah, whatever." Yeonjun stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. He leaned against the dresser and looked at Wooyoung fully attached to my body. His eyes softened once he noticed how sad he looked even when sleeping. "San doesn't deserve Wooyoung anyway."

"I really don't know anything about him. Is he a bad guy or something?"

"No." He shook his head. "In fact, he's a lot like Wooyoung. San is just more introverted. But once you get him going, I'd say they're the same."

"Have you been around him a lot?" He nodded. "And never told Wooyoung?"

"Hyunjin, he's in my classes."

"Oh, right." I nodded. Sometimes I forget Yeonjun is a senior.

"It's not that I tried to give him false hope. I just had hope myself. I want Woo to be happy. But I don't think anyone deserves him. He's a lot to handle but he's so...you know what I mean." I nodded. I understood exactly what he was saying. I've never felt that way towards Wooyoung and Yeonjun is straight, but there's a platonic love that we both feel for him. We feel the need to take care of him and protect him from the world. He's pure at heart. "You and Felix need to work out."

"There's nothing to even work out. Nothing's even started. I just think he's cute, that's it." Wait a minute. "Did Wooyoung tell you everything?"

"Tell me that you painted his face on a canvas? Yeah." I shut my eyes and took a deep breath in embarrassment. "But this needs to work out so Wooyoung has something to keep him happy."

"Keep him happy? Wouldn't it just upset him?"

"No, you know he's not like that. If we're happy, he's happy. So stop being annoying and message the damn kid. You know when Woo wakes up and you tell him, his entire mood is gonna change. Just do it."

I shook my head in disbelief. Wooyoung being happy is more important to me. So if this is what it'll take, I'll do it.

Yeonjun passed me my phone and I went right to Felix's Instagram.
