Unconditional Love

18

Sunwoo, Eric and Hyunjae came to the park. Hyunjae brough them there to have a conversation. He even buys a hamburger for them.

"What do you want to talk about Haknyeon?" asked Eric.

"How long have you been friends with Haknyeon?" asked Hyunjae.

"Since first semester" answered Sunwoo.

"What do you guys know about Haknyeon?" asked Hyunjae.

"He a shy guy. At first, he doesn't really talk with anyone even us. But when we became friend, he actually a talkative when you get to know him more" said Eric.

Hyunjae nodded.

"Have he... Have he ever had a relationship?" asked Hyunjae.

"No. He never had" said Sunwoo.

"Sometime we joke about it... Wait a minute. Hyung, are you... Do you like Haknyeon?" asked Eric.

Hyunjae was a bit surprised and his cheek was blushing red. Seeing him blushing, Eric smile.

"I knew it! I guess it right! It was you!" said Eric.

Hyunjae was a bit confuse.

"What do you mean, babe?" asked Sunwoo.

"Remember when I joke to Haknyeon about getting a boyfriend and I sense he like someone? It was Hyunjae hyung!" said Eric.

"Is it?" asked Sunwoo.

"Wait. Haknyeon... like me?" asked Hyunjae.

"Yup. I can sense it" said Eric.

Hyunjae was stunned. He never thought that Haknyeon also like him.

"I... I never thought Haknyeon would have a feeling to me. I thought it was just me" said Hyunjae.

"He might not really show it but he really bad on hiding it" said Sunwoo.

"You really should confess to him, hyung" said Eric.

"Should I?" asked Hyunjae.

"You might not know this but Haknyeon has a lot admired from female to male students" said Sunwoo.

"Was he?" shocked Hyunjae.

"Yeah. Haknyeon didn't notice it at all" said Sunwoo.

"This is your chance, hyung. You should get him before anyone else" said Eric.

"What should I tell him? Will he really gonna accept me?" asked Hyunjae.

Sunwoo and Eric look at each other. It's like they see a similar on Haknyeon and Hyunjae.

"Hyung, you don't need to be afraid. You can tell him the truth about your feeling. It won't hurt if you tell your feeling to him" said Sunwoo.

"I just... I don't know. I never really talk the truth in my life" said Hyunjae.

During his interviews with journalists, Hyunjae always has to stick to a script or certain answer that he memorizes before the interview. He has to make it seem like he's enjoying his job or having fun as a model, when the truth might be that he's struggling or even depressed.

He doesn't ever reveal the truth to anyone, and only answers with the script he's memorized or the lies he uses to hide the truth.

"Sometime it feels good to tell the truth, you know. Like when I asking Sunwoo to be my boyfriend. When I asked him and he say yes, it was a good feeling" said Eric.

"Remember me when the first thought about you is how outgoing you are. Compared to me who is always quiet" said Sunwoo.

"But I still love you" said Eric.
