TAINTED (Hyunho/Chanjin)

029

"Are you sure?" Chan asked from the other line. "Troye? I asked you if you're sure?" He repeated when the said guy did not answer.

"Yes, Chris. I'm hundred percent sure that he was the one I saw talking with Hyunie's dad yesterday." Troye confidently replied.

"Did he saw you?"

"No. I was about to drop off Roowon yesterday since Hyunie's class isn't finished yet, and I got a call from my manager, so I need someone to look after baby Won-"

"My son." Chan interrupted.

Troye roll his eyes before continuing. "Yes. Your son. Where am I?... Ah right! I need someone to look after your son, I brought him there since Hyunie's mom gladly volunteered." He explained thru the phone.

"Did you heard something what they talked about?" Chan started to get suspicions.

"Not really, but I heard them mentioned your and Minho's name then Roowon and Hyun."

"That makes sense. Thank you Troye, we owe you so much." Chan genuinely said. "We're going to give all the favors back to you when I get Hyunjin and my son back." He added.

"What if I want Hyunjin in return?" Troye smirked, try to pissed the older.

Chan growl. "I'll kill y-"

"Woah.. woah... Woah.. relax, Chris. Jeez! I'm just joking. I know where I stand when it comes to Hyun." He chuckled, enjoying Chan's reaction.

"That's good then. Now bye." He said cutting the call, not waiting for Troye to reply.

"What did he say?" Minho steps forward to ask the oldest.

"Our suspicions were right. Troye called, and confirmed it." Chan replied.

"Wth? How could he do this to Hyunjin and us?" Minho asked in disbelief.

"That's for another time. The important is we knew who was the enemy." Chan replied.

"What are we going to do then?" Minho said.

"For now... We're not going to do anything about it-"

"You mean we're not even going to confront him?" Minho interrupted.

"Yes. For now. But we are going to warn the others and our parents, and ask them to act normal around him to avoid any suspicions from him." Chan calmly replied.

"I don't think I could act normal around him anymore after knowing what he did to us. I want to strangle him until he die." Minho said with hatred.

"I know, Minho. I swear, I know. I want to do the same, but we need to be wiser now that we already knew who spread and sent the video to Kook." Said Chan to comfort the younger.

"Fine, but don't expect me to be all friendly and goofy around him. And do me a favor... Stay him away from me as much as possible, or much better don't invite him." Said Minho bitterly.

Chan shook his head in defeat. "We can't just abruptly stop inviting him, he'll get suspicious. You could just avoid talking to him, but make it subtle."

"Ok. Ok. I get it." Minho said rolling his eyes.

Chan chuckled at his friend's childishness.

"Hyun, I have a great news for you." Troye excitedly drag Hyunjin to the living room. "Sit. Sit. Sit." He said while gently pushing the younger on the couch.

Hyunjin was looking at Troye like the guy was crazy. "Can you tell me what made you excited?" He asked as he sits on the couch.

"Seungmin is here." Troye blurted out.

"You mean.... Seungmo?" Hyunjin excitedly asked.

"Yup. We're going to meet later. Can I bring Rowoon with me?" Said Troye.

"Can I go with you? I miss all of them so much." Hyunjin pleads.

Troye frowned. "Jin, we already talked about this. I promise to bring you back to Seoul, but you have to focus on your study and Rowoon while you're here." He reminded.

Hyunjin pout, then sighed to stop from tearing up. "I.. i just miss them so fucking much. Especially Miho and Channie." He admitted. "You know, pictures and videos aren't enough." He added.

Troye looks at Hyunjin sympathetically. "I know, but it's better this way than nothing at all. It's fate that Felix is my fourth cousin."

"Is it only Seungmo?" The younger asked out of nowhere.

Troye thinks for a while, thinking if he should tell Hyunjin what he witnessed, but he choose to keep it between Minho, Chan and him. He wants Hyunjin to stay out of this while Chan and Minho still couldn't figure out what to do for the said matter.

"He's with Jeongin." He replied.

Hyunjin eyes widen in excitement. "OMG! They are here together? Tell me, are they dating?" He giggles.

Troye shook his head in disbelief. "Are you lunatic, babe?" He commented. "I thought you were about to cry because you fucking miss them, and now you're all excited thinking that they are dating."

Hyunjin pouted, but smile again. "I'll be glad if those two are already dating each other. I hurt both of them... it's unintentionally though, but I'm still guilty that I couldn't return their feelings towards me since I'm already in love with Channie and Miho." He explained. Smile on his lips with the hope of his two friends fell in love.

Troye stared at the younger with so much admiration. 'Such a pure soul. You don't deserve this kind of betrayal, Angel.' He thought.

"Troye, please tell them that I love them and I miss them so much. But no... You can't bring Rowoon with you. Because I want Channie and Miho to be the first among them that see and touch Rowoon personally." Hyunjin said proudly.

Troye laugh, but nodded at the younger's cuteness. "Yes, Princess." He replied jokingly.

Hyunjin cutely glared at him. "What did you just call me?" He hisses with a pout.

"Princess?" Troye repeated, but Hyunjin raised an eyebrow. Beckons him to speak more. "Chan and Minho told me to call you that when you're acting like that." He explained.

"Like what?" The younger challenge. Crossing his arms over his chest. Bossing over Troye.

"Like that. All bossy, and sassy. Such a Princess." Troye replied as a matter of fact.

"They told you that?" Troye nodded. "Hmnp... Then tell them that I'm already a Queen." He smirked, giving Troye his infamous judging look.

Troye laugh out loud, but almost fell off from his sit when Hyunjin put the fresh petunia flowers in his mouth. He cough and spit the flowers. "What was that for?" He glared at the boy.

"That's what you deserved for not taking me seriously." Replied the sassy Hyunjin, then flipped his hair before leaving the stunned Troye.

"He's a Queen now, assholes." Troye groaned out before turning off the call.
