"Where the fuck are they?" Sunghoon cursed as he and the males he had been with earlier waited in the private dining room.

"Just give them some time. Jungwon always runs late. That's literally the reason why you guys became friends," Sunoo told the celeb as he scrolled on his phone.

"He has a point," The smiley's boyfriend butted in before being shut up with a sharp 'hush' from the silver-haired male.

"Why so bitter?" Ni-ki, who was sitting in between Sunghoon and Sunoo, asked with a small smirk on his face. "Is it because someone's jealous?" He cocked two brows as he got closer to the other.

"Get out of my face. You're gonna ruin my skin," The singer rolled his eyes as he pushed the younger away from him.

"Oh, whatever," The youngest sassed with folded arms.

Just as Sunghoon was about to open his mouth to most likely cuss Ni-ki out, the door to the room opened and a familiar voice was heard speaking.

"Sorry about the wait," Heeseung apologized to the guys as he entered the room, his fingers locked between Jungwon's who followed behind him.

Sunghoon had seen it and his formerly annoyed expression turned into more of a solemn one, but he wasn't the only person whose demeanor changed once they saw the sight.

The male who was not even a minute ago teasing Sunghoon was now silent and fiddling with a crease in his baggy jeans.

"Hi, guys!" The cat-like male cheesed as they got closer to the table and found their seats.

"Where were you guys? We've been waiting like thirty minutes," Jay spoke with a small chuckle.

"Traffic and the fact that Jungwonnie is extremely difficult when it comes to picking out clothes for occasions like these," The oldest of the seven answered as he pinched his boyfriend's soft cheeks.

"Oh, please," Sunghoon muttered under his breath with an eye roll at the sight before getting smacked on the back of the neck by Sunoo who heard what he said.

The male winced in pain and looked over to the culprit of his agony who gave him an innocent but threatening-looking smile.

Sunghoon silently apologized to the younger who nodded in approval before turning to his boyfriend and talking about something unimportant.

The celebrity's eyes fell back on the second couple of the group. The most strange relationship of the two.

Something about their love for each other felt weird to him. Like it wasn't something strong. He could feel the love that Sunjake had for each other. It seemed as if the way they felt for each other oozed out of their bodies for everyone else to see. If you saw them in public, just by their presence you could tell they were a couple, but Heeseung and Jungwon were different.

They didn't carry that same energy. The only way you could tell they were together was by all the lovey-dovey things that they did. The pet names, all the kisses, the hugs, the 'I love you-s' — that was the only way anyone knew. But maybe it was just his jealousy speaking.

He couldn't help but envy Heeseung. If anyone should be doing those cringy things with Jungwon it should be him.

He had known Jungwon for longer, granted, it was only by a day. But he felt that they were more bonded to each other, that they had something better. Maybe they were even soulmates. I mean, what else would explain that they, even to this day, bump into each other on the streets all the time? There's no way that's just a coincidence. It had to mean something or maybe Sunghoon was just being delusional. Both were possibilities but one made the celebrity feel a pit in his stomach.

A pit in his stomach that he had been feeling ever since that day at the park. When he went for a walk because he was bored and wanted to try something new. He didn't expect to see the two males there. He thought they'd just meet up there and go someplace else or that they would've been gone by then. He was horribly wrong and he hated the fact that he decided to go on that walk. He hated the fact that he saw someone else confess to someone he had feelings for. And he despised the fact that his crush liked someone that wasn't him.

Now he had to put on this act, this facade in front of them to not come off mean. Although he can be a snob at times he wouldn't want to hurt others for selfish reasons. Life isn't fair and he knew that. He should be content with just being friends with the boy who resembled a small house cat, and boy did he try.

He wanted to suppress the way that he felt but it was extremely hard. He had never experienced anything like this before. He didn't know why he felt this way. Why did it have to be him out of all people who faced this type of dilemma? Why did it have to be someone who didn't like him back that he fell in love with?

He found everything so annoying and confusing and he didn't know how to let these feelings out. Not until he wrote Attention, please! Something about the song comforted him although it's a rock track.

It was a way for him to express his feelings and he enjoyed it whether he wanted to admit it or not. Writing songs was already therapeutic to him but writing about something so close to home felt so special to him but it made him want more. Made him want to be with the man of his dreams more.

"Riki, you haven't touched any of your food," Sunghoon pointed out to the younger whose dishes were still full.

"I did," The younger replied, pointing at the missing pieces of meat and rice.

"Three bites is nothing. Are you okay?" The singer wondered as he placed his arm around the other's shoulder.

"I'm not hungry," Ni-ki informed his friend as he went to rest his head on his shoulder.

"Are you sure?" The silver-haired man asked as he moved the hair covering his friend's face out of the way so he could see his features.

When Ni-ki's face became visible and he could see he took an unconscious look at the couple who were feeding each other and giggling between one another.

His expression changed at the sight and that's when it clicked.

Sunghoon smirked, "You like him, don't you?"

"W-what? Who?" The ravenette stuttered, caught off guard.

"Heeseung, you like him," The older smiled teasingly as he poked the younger in the arm.

"Psh! No!" The other denied, sitting up before getting pulled right back down by the older.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm in the same boat as you," The celeb tried to reassure the other who seemed a bit scared.

"Well, yeah, I do."

I was so tired (still am) writing this like. You don't even understand. I've been falling asleep the whole time :,). It's 2:30 in the morning but I wanted to hurry and get another chapter out so I decided to stay up and do so.

I'm currently in Texas and it's been pretty okay. We haven't done anything but shop since we've been here and we're leaving tomorrow morning. I did go to a kpop store tho and I got two enha albums and a red velvet one. That was honestly the peak of this trip fr :,,,) But that's all I have to say for now. I love you all and hope you're doing amazing!! — xx Kynzie
