SUNOO'S POV

It's been almost a week since everyone started getting ready for the festival that means its been also a week since I started seeing Sunghoon and Wonyoung hanging out.

Why does it sound like that's the only thing I care about? Of course not!

We're all currently huddled up in one of the cafeteria tables as we all peacefully ate our lunch. While doing so, I reached for my chocolate milk box before I started ripping the few folded parts so I can drink on it. I furrowed my brows when one of the sealed part didn't budge despite me, tugging on it hard enough.

"Cooperate! you stupid piece of—"

"I'll do it" I stopped trying when a pair of hands gently took it from me and patiently opened the carton of milk, creating a small spout.

"Thanks" I mumbled when I got my chocolate milk before drinking it all at once, hoping that it will lessen the rapid beating of my heart.

Why is Sunghoon so kind? This is making me very guilty.

I looked over to my left and was met by Jake hyungs' gaze, piercing through my soul but he instantly shifted his attention back to his food.

"My arms are all sore from all the dancing" Jungwon whined, slightly stretching his arms and I couldn't help but to agree more. Heeseung hyung and I both chuckled when we heard a very deep long sigh from Ni-ki who was looking all worn out from juggling all his clubs at once.

"That's why you should've listened to me Ni-ki"

"I can still do it hyung, I promise!" I shook my head from his unwavering perseverance and just decided to eat my lunch instead. I nibbled the tip of my chopsticks when I noticed that Sunghoon was glancing at me from time to time.

Come to think of it, we never really had a proper conversation after that night because all I did was avoid him...I don't know, I feel so lost in my own doubts too.

After the committee announced that it was time for club preparations, I decided to head for the locker area to get my packed up clothes. I didn't want my uniform to get all sweaty from dancing too much.

"Hey...umm, how's your mom?" I clenched the door of my locker tightly when I heard the voice I somehow missed.

"Good" I simply answered, flashing him a genuine smile to which he returned as well.

"About last time...I meant what I said Sunoo—"

"H-Hyung no. Please stop right there. I'm sorry" his eyes somehow widened when I cut his sentence off before slightly taking a step back.

"W-We can't hyung...you shouldn't be. I'm really really sorry" I managed to pull enough courage and leave the area, as soon as I saw a thin sheet of liquid glossing over his eyes, holding back his tears.

With my heart racing, I scurried through the hallways, clutching my folded clothes tightly and bringing it closer to my tightening chest. I bit my lip harder when his pained reaction a few seconds ago repeated inside my head.

After a moment of catching my breath, I ran straight to the bathroom before leaning on the sink, looking at my messed up reflection from the mirror.

I'm so messed up.

"You're really annoying me Sunoo" I immediately faced the door when a familiar figure peeked in.

"J-Jake hyung?" He seriously darted his glare at me before walking towards me.

"I'm doing this because I'm one of Sunghoon's closest friend and there's only one thing I wanted to say to you... you're a fcking coward" he spat, eyes glaring. My chest started tightening from his words so I couldn't help but to pant.
