To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

Let Go

Wooyoung's POV:

"Help." I whined, interrupting Hyunjin as he was ordering for us in the McDonald's drive thru. "Jinnie, I'm dying." He continued to talk to the worker, but put his hand on my entire face to acknowledge me. Once he was done, he looked at me and shook his head. I shoved my phone in his face for him to read the text.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked.

"I don't know." I sighed, contemplating if I should actually hang out with San.

"Maybe it'll be different because you'll be sober?" Hyunjin tried to come up with something because I know he wants me to give it another shot. I get it, I really do. But I'm still really upset about the other night. I told myself I wouldn't let it get to me because I knew what I signed up for, but I don't have that type of will power.

"You were supposed to tell me to ignore him." I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling stressed.

"What do you wanna do deep down?" He asked, then turned to grab our food. I snatched the bag away from him and started aggressively eating my fries.

"Hang out with him." I mumbled, looking out the window.

"Then hang out with him." Hyunjin shrugged and started to drive back to my house. "And when you do, be you."

"Okay? Am I not?" I think I'm missing the point here.

"Be you and call him out for fucking with your emotions."

"Evil." I nodded, liking his idea. "I'll ask him what time he's picking me up."

Once we made it to my house, we raced inside and went to my room.

"Did you text him yet?"

I took my phone out and messaged him back at light speed.

Wooyoung
What time do you wanna pick me up

"I'm going to act unbothered the entire time."

"Do you think you'll fuck?" Hyunjin was going through my closet, looking for an outfit.

"Jinnie, I don't need another outfit." I smiled seeing how he was trying to help. "Part of being unbothered is by not trying to look too good. This should be enough." I just had sweats and a sweatshirt on. No need to get fancy if my clothes will probably get thrown off anyway. "But yeah, there's no other reason he'd want to hang." Hyunjin stayed silent because he knew I was right.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, assuming it was San.

San
Half hour

I sent him my address, in disbelief that I'm letting this happen. But I've never claimed to be one of God's strongest soldiers.

Wooyoung
See you then

I tried to seem cold so hopefully that came across.

San
See ya

"He'll be here in a half hour." I walked over to my mirror and stared. "We should dye our hair."

"I don't think I'd look good with anything other than this."

"What if we went blonde?" Hyunjin can pull off anything so I'm not even going to acknowledge his ignorance.
