enemies to lovers

Lee Know has been working on Jisung's room for the past couple of weeks, wanting it to look spectacular for the younger.

Chan has been anxiously waiting for the arrival of their beloved, admiring how his boyfriend's eyes glisten with excitement as he works on the room.

"It's only a couple of days now, love." Chan spoke gently, his arms wrapped around Lee Know's waist as the couple gazed upon Jisung's room.

"I can't wait, honey. Do you think he'll like it?" His voice was full of hope, Chan couldn't help but admire him.

"I know he will."

Jisung was at Felix's house, discussing graduation and the party Felix and Seungmin's family were going to hold for the trio.

The two boys were waiting on Seungmin to arrive, the male running a little late due to the baseball coach talking with him about his full ride.

While the two waited on their friend, Felix couldn't help but wonder how Jisung was doing.

He'd been awfully quiet the past week, seeming almost down in the dumps. It was worrying him.

"Ji?" The other hummed, waiting for a response as he scrolled through his phone.

"Is everything alright? You've been kind of quiet lately." Felix watched Jisung's reaction, noticing how the boy slumped over with a sigh at the question.

"My parents are talking to me, asking me about school, graduation, university, everything."

Felix only nodded, wondering if he should push the conversation further, curious about the boy's thoughts on the situation but also not wanting to overwhelm him.

"I don't want them to be involved in my life, Lix. They've been absent for so long, I don't need them now." Jisung sighed once more, almost pained by his own words.

He's dreamt of nothing more than his parents' attention, and now that he has it, he doesn't want it. He wants nothing to do with them.

Jisung almost feels as though as they're strangers, they've always been strangers. He doesn't want to let strangers into his life.

His mother has apologized a million times for their behavior, but he hasn't forgiven them. He can't. He won't.

"Where's Seungmin? He's taking forever." Jisung changed the subject, looking at the time on his phone as he wondered where the taller puppy was.

A few moments later, said puppy walked in the door, a dazed look in his eyes as he sat down with the duo.

"You okay, Min?" Felix called out, only earning a soft nod in return.

Jisung and Felix waited for the boy to tell them what was on his mind, and once he opened his mouth, they were shocked.

"Hyunjin asked me to be his boyfriend."

Both Felix and Jisung's jaws dropped, trying their best to process this information.

Hyunjin has gone to every practice and every game that the school has held, always rooting for and supporting Seungmin.

They knew that the boy had a crush on Seungmin, but they all thought it was more of a crush on the fact that Seungmin didn't want him. They figured he only wanted Seungmin to notice him so that he could say that everyone in school wanted him.

The latter usually brushes him off, seeing the prince as nothing more than a horny man going the extra mile for some dick.

"He confessed to me as I was leaving. He asked me why I never noticed him."

"How do you know he isn't just playing you?" Jisung questioned, not wanting his friend to get used by the school's attention whore.

Seungmin pulled out a necklace from inside his shirt, playing with the pendant as he spoke, "His eyes were glistening with hope as he confessed. They weren't filled with the usual mischief they are when he speaks to me."

Both boys glanced at the necklace before at each other, Felix speaking up first. "Did he give you that necklace?"

Seungmin nodded, a soft blush dusting over his cheeks.

"Did you accept his confession?" Jisung followed up, wondering if the puppy was now dating the prince.

Seungmin once again nodded, "I did." Glancing at both of his friends, he smiled. "He was so excited whenever I said yes. I've never seen him so genuinely happy."

Felix and Jisung were weary of the confession but seemed happy for their friend nonetheless. It almost seemed as though Hyunjin were being genuine, so maybe they shouldn't be as suspicious of his actions.

Soon, Seungmin's phone buzzed, his eyes sparkling as he informed everyone that Hyunjin had texted him. "He's asking if he can see me tomorrow after graduation."

"Are you going to miss the party?" Felix wondered out loud, pouting at the thought of their best friend not attending their graduation party.

The taller shook his head, "Absolutely not. No man is worth ditching you guys."

"This is so unfair." Felix sighed, falling back onto the couch before continuing, "Seungmin gets a confession from the evil prince, Jisung has a hot gym rat stalker, while I'm here all alone."

"You know," Jisung began, leaning over with a grin. "There is someone who likes you."

Felix pushed the boy away, chuckling at his words. "I am not confessing to the fox."

"Are you saying you would?" Seungmin teased, causing Felix to blush.

"No, I-" "You like Jeongin!" Jisung gasped, Seungmin following shortly after.

Seungmin and Jisung began to tease the freckled boy about his little crush, all three of the boys spending the rest of the night talking about their crushes and hopeless romantic wishes.
