Two couples stand dazed, watching our two lovers kissing, hidden behind a wall, until their friends Jeonghan and Joshua, come up behind them and slap them upside the head.

" Ow, fuck, guys, that hurts ! " says Seungkwan.

Chan having heard his friends' voices, detaches himself from Seungcheol as he catches his breath, then looks down at the ground, finding it more interesting all of a sudden, his cheeks red with shame.

" Don't be shy, Dino ~ " says Vernon.

" No..."

" We've seen it all ! " replied Soonyoung

Chan looks ahead and goes to hide in Seungcheol's arms, Seungcheol welcomes him without hesitation.

" If it isn't too cute..." Says Seungkwan

" Worse than my grandma, that's crazy." Says Joshua

" Thanks ? "

" No Kwan, you weren't supposed to take it as a compliment..." Jeonghan replies

" But Jeonghan hyung."

" Hush you brat, Vernon how do you stand it ? "

Vernon raises his head...

" You put up with a lot, Joshua..."

" But Joshuji, he's too cute, he doesn't overdo it, he has comforting hugs, lips..."

" Okay ~ stop that's too much there. "

Joshua doesn't respond and huffs and puffs past the couples. He doesn't say a word or glance at anyone, Jeonghan joins his boyfriend.

" Did I say something wrong ? " Vernon asks sadly.

" No, don't worry it's just Joshua eh ! " Says Jihoon

Chan raises his head, and says, something everyone before seems to have forgotten...

" It's been 5 years today since Mr. Hong died, and the compliments Jeonghan paid him..."

" Mr Hong was paying Shua the same compliments, and I'm the one who asked how he put up with Joshua, what a fucking idiot ! "

Vernon slaps his forehead and goes back to the school to find Joshua and Jeonghan to ask their forgiveness.

Chan goes back into the arms of his eldest...

" Do you like hugs Channie ? "

" That nickname..."

" He's cute, isn't he ? "

" A little too much for my heart..."

" You're adorable..."

Chan felt her cheeks heat up at the compliment; no one called her that, well, no one called her that anymore, since her mother died, because only her mother had the right to call her that...

" Cheollie-ya hyung..."

" Oh, that's a cute nickname. I love it."

" I'll keep calling you that then, and you know I lost my mother..."

" Hmm."

" She was the only one who called me 《 Channie 》"

" Do you want me to get you another one nickname ? "

" Actually no, when it comes out of your mouth strangely enough I don't mind..."

" That's because you have feelings for me." Joke Seungcheol

" Probably..." Chan, on the other hand, took it seriously

He breathed this little word, so softly that Seungcheol, didn't hear, he just heard a mumble...

" What did you say, Channie-ya ? "

" Nothing."

Chan breaks away from Seungcheol completely and immediately takes off, embarrassed by what he's said. Seungcheol starts chasing him.

Chan, out of breath, stops and turns around. He sees Hyunjin coming straight at him, so he starts running harder. He arrives at the foot of a tree, calmly catches his breath. He really thinks he's lost Seungcheol, but in fact he hasn't. Two hands come up against the tree on either side of his face...
Seungcheol stands in front of him, breathing rapidly...

" You run fast Channie-ya but I managed to catch you anyway ~"

" I..."

" Now you can tell me what you said earlier."

" Cheollie-ya hyung, I..."

" What did you whisper to earlier, Channie-ya ? "

" Nothing..."

Chan looks at the ground, once again, the grass is more interesting than his elder, except that Seungcheol doesn't feel the same way gently places his fingers on Chan's chin and lifts his head. He then comes and sticks to Chan, chest to chest...

" May I ? "

" Do what ? "

" Kiss you Cheollie-ya hyung."

" Tell me what you said and you can..."

Chan hangs on his eldest's full lips, dying to touch them again, but for that he has to say...

《 Probably 》

Probably, I'm starting to like you, but how can I explain it and express it openly ?
