#.. FIFTY-FOUR

"Jiyun?!" Jooyeon gasped as soon as he saw the girl sitting behind the drum set. The five of them sat on these uncomfortable chairs in front of the small stage their school had. Not many people were there yet, so the band started playing around on stage.

Hyeongjun kept playing that annoying android ringtone while running around on stage. Yet as the cable wasn't that long, it unplugged itself forcefully, Hyeongjun let out a startled scream.

Taking a look around, Jooyeon quickly noticed the dreamy eyes Jungsu and Gunil had while they watched the younger, they were so in love. Looking left, he saw Jiseok slowly grabbing Seungmin's hand in his peripheral vision. Adorable.

Jooyeon was glad everyone got their happy end. He himself maybe not, but he didn't care, as long as his friends were happy, he could bear his own fate.

Jiyun noticed Jooyeon from the crowd and waved him happily. "Oooooh, is that the girl you will marry?" Jungsu asked and grinned, poking Jooyeon's foot with his cane.

It wasn't as funny to Jooyeon though, he just took off his hearing aids, just slightly hearing Jungsu's laugh and a half-hearted apology. He wasn't pissed at Jungsu, that's just how their dynamic was - Teasing each other to death.

He felt Jungsu poke him again and again. In the elder's eyes it was visible that it was something important now. Putting on his hearing aids again, he immediately felt Jungsu's arm wrapped around him as he leaned closer.

"I love you, Joof" Jungsu giggled, eventually making Jooyeon chuckle, too. "Oh, I looooooove you too, Dumbsu." The lights dimmed, the headlights illuminated the stage. It started.

Just hearing the first few seconds Hyeongjun started playing on the guitar, Jiseok got excited, flapping his hands as he excitedly shimmied on the chair. "It's the song I recommended!" he exclaimed happily, making all of them laugh.

The band was amazing. The male and female singer's voice blended well together, the sound of the instruments was pleasant. They played two of the songs, when suddenly they started playing the song Gunil was waiting for the most.

As soon as the first note of the bass hit, Gunil's jaw dropped as he turned around to Jungsu and squeezed his hand. "I wont survive this" Gunil laughed. "Tell my parents I love them."

And Gunil really didn't survive this. Through the whole song, Gunil had his mouth open, stunned by Hyeongjun; His looks, his coolness, everything. He couldn't believe that his boyfriend was that cool.

While everyone was busy admiring Hyeongjun, Seungmin gave his best to try and calm his racing heartbeat. Jiseok holding his hand suddenly felt so different. Even though nothing really changed, Jiseok was still Jiseok after all, Seungmin felt guilty while holding Jiseok's hand.

He didn't want him to force himself onto Seungmin, just because they used to be in love. And Seungmin still was head over heels for Jiseok.

But he would accept it, if their time would be over. Jiseok really shouldn't force himself to fall in love again.
