A few days had passed, and now most of their minor injuries were healed. Over the past few days, everyone started to get to know both Yunho and Mingi. Well, everyone except San. Along with that, they also caught up with Wooyoung. Initially, they thought he would feel slightly awkward around them, but that wasn't the case. They all acted just like they had ten years ago. Nothing was strange or uncomfortable between any of them.

Around four days after Wooyoung had been brought back, Sans's father came over not just to welcome him home but to also apologize for his ex-wife's behavior. That came as a shock to Wooyoung as he hadn't known they had gotten a divorce. He hadn't even known that everyone knew about the letters. This forced the others to come clean about everything, they explained how they found the letters too how they had read his diary.

They expected him to be mad, yet they were surprised when he smiled at them. Before, he would have started crying out of fear that they might hate him or find him disgusting. But now, he simply couldn't care less. He was quite happy they had already known the truth as it saved him from having to explain everything which also saved him from shedding a lot of tears.


"I'm sorry."

San smiled at the younger before speaking, "You apologized over fourteen times in the past few days you've been here."  "I already told you love- There is no reason for you to be sorry," San reassured him. Wooyoung looked up at the older male with saddened eyes. "But I made all your lives so much harder by running away. I can't help but feel bad about it."

The two males were lying on Wooyoung's bed, talking to each other about anything that popped into their heads. The room was dark with the only light that gave it brightness being the lamp on the younger's nightstand. San played with Wooyoung's black hair as he continued to reassure the younger, "Wooyoung, listen to me. When you left you didn't cause us much trouble. I won't lie and say that finding you was hard and of course, we were all upset as we had no idea where one of our best friends was and if he was alright or not, but you could never cause us any problems."

Wooyoung tried protesting but was silenced when San cupped his face forcing the younger to shut up and just look straight at the male. No words were exchanged, it was as if they already knew what the other wanted to say. Wooyoung's breath was shaky as they both stared into each other's eyes. San's eyes seemed to be full of admiration, but he couldn't tell if that was just his mind playing games with him or not. San smiled as he watched the younger's facial expressions change.

A small pout formed on Wooyoung's lips as he realized there was no point in protesting,  San had won this discussion and they both knew it. The younger's ears turned red as he attempted to look away out of embarrassment. "Hey now, keep your attention on me." San laughed as he softly turned the younger's face to continue to look at him.

This caused Wooyoung to laugh, "That's embarrassing," he shyly muttered out. "Is it?" San questioned. The two males just continued to laugh at each other, they had once again locked eyes. But this time was different than before, it was almost as if they were in some type of trance. Their smiles had dropped and it felt as if everything around them had disappeared. As Wooyoung stared into the other's eyes he realized that they weren't full of admiration this time. What he failed to realize was that they were truly full of love...

The two hadn't even realized that their bodies were naturally getting closer and closer until they snapped out of it. They pulled away from each other as their faces were a few inches apart. The two of them laughed it off before switching the topic to try and ease the tension. They continued to talk about whatever was on their mind. Well, everything except for the intimate moment they had just previously shared.

They continued talking until around 2 am when Wooyoung started feeling his eyelids get heavy. This was unusual for the younger. His nightmares were no longer constant but he still had a hard time falling asleep at night. His eyes fluttered shut and he stopped talking. Before he even knew it he had fallen asleep.

San noticed this and smiled as he looked down at him. He reached over and turned the lamp off before covering both him and Wooyoung with the duvet. He pulled the younger closer to him and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "I wish I could just tell you how I feel without getting all nervous..." San whispered before eventually shutting his eyes and falling asleep with the younger in his arms.


Incidents like that continued to happen. Sometimes when they were alone sometimes while they were in front of others. Their feelings were mutual and it was obvious. The only thing that was stopping them was their inner doubt. Wooyoung felt as if it was impossible for San to love him. San on the other hand remembered what was written in Wooyoung's diary, he was aware of the younger's feelings but wasn't sure if they were still there since it had been years since he had written that diary entry. The two of them were a mess. They were so obvious that it was painful for the others to watch them interact as just friends.

"When are you going to confess your feelings?" Seonghwa asked the younger as he leaned more into the chair he was sitting in. San continued to do some paperwork on his desk not bothering to look up as he answered, "You already know I can't do that. I would much rather keep my feelings hidden than possibly ruin our friendship."

"Well you're doing a horrible job at hiding them," Seonghwa scoffed causing the younger to finally look up at him. "Don't look at me like that when you're the one that makes it so obvious," the older continued.

"Not to mention that it's clear that Wooyoung feels the same. God, how can you two be so observant yet so oblivious at the same time? I swear your love life is like some type of novel," Seonghwa laughed as he crossed his arms. "Another thing I can't understand is that you already know that Wooyoung has or at least had a crush on you, so why can't you just say those three simple words? I love you, Easy right?"

"He wrote that in his diary years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he had already lost feelings by now." San said somberly. "Well if you want to confirm what he feels for you then I suggest talking to Mingi and Yunho. They have been with him since they were in high school so I'm pretty sure that they would know."

San grimaced at the two names. "Yeah, I'll pass on that. I'm grateful that they stuck by Wooyoung's side but that's about it. I'll tolerate them since Wooyoung likes them but unlike the rest of you I don't plan on building a meaningful friendship with them." San said as he returned to his work.

Seonghwa laughed before speaking, "What kind of beef do you have with those two? They haven't done anything wrong but you act as if they stole your lover away."

"Are you still not over the fact that they got to spend ten years with Wooyoung while you couldn't? If so, that's a dumb reason," The older said as he smirked at the younger. "It's not that. I just don't like them..." San mumbled.

"Wow... You truly are a piece of work," Seonghwa said as he got up from his chair. San looked up at the older. "You going somewhere?" San questioned the older. Seonghwa nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to get Yunho and Mingi. Don't go anywhere~"

San looked at the male with a questioning look. "What? Why the hell would you get them? Seonghwa there is no need for that. For the love of god please don't-" San pleaded with him but he didn't listen and just smiled at the younger before walking out of San's office. San buried his head into his palms as he knew what was coming. He didn't hate the two males, but that didn't stop him from feeling petty jealousy towards them.
