Not Just A Hallucination

"I know right? And then at the end she dies, in her lover's arms.." Ryujin explains with a sad tone to her voice. And hearing that, Jongho's heart aches a little as well.

"Oh noo! That's so sad.." He replies with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Why are the books you read always tragic or sad? Like do you not find better books to read?" He continues and teases his friend as she was done explaining the whole storyline of a book she was reading. The girl rolls her eyes playfully in response and takes a sip of her drink.

"Oh please, atleast I have a hobby. Not like you who just scrolls through Instagram all day." She gave an unexpected savage reply.

Jongho gasped a little at the sudden roast and then pouted jokingly.

"You're so mean.." He mumbles making his friend chuckle.

"Awh.. but truth hurts, sweetie~" Ryujin pinches his cheek gently and teases him. The other blushed slightly at her actions and shoves her hand away.

"Oh shut up.." He tries to laugh it off but his shy tone was betraying him.

"Everytime I see you both, you're either flirting with eachother or just talking about books.. just date already y'know?" Yeosang says teasingly as he joins the conversation.

"Ah? We don't like each other that way hyung.." Jongho laughs and Ryujin nods.

"Yep. And what's the point of being bestfriends if we don't flirt with eachother?~" The girl says jokingly and puts her arm around her bestfriend's shoulder in a friendly manner.

Yeosang watches as she's clinging on Jongho, even if it's with a friendly intention and nothing more. He felt a tinge of jealousy in his heart. He didn't know why though.

He attempts to not make his jealousy obvious and tries to laugh it off.
"Oh yeah righ.. -" He replies but was cut off by a snapchat notification on someone's phone.

Both Yeosang and Jongho check their phones to see who had gotten the notification. Ryujin was just standing there finishing her drink that was still left. Feeling no need of checking because her notifications for the app were disabled anyways.

"Why are random people always adding me here-" Jongho says and he found out the notification was a request from a girl.

"Because bro is famous, we can't relate. Right Yeosang?" The girl jokes and Yeosang laughs and nods at that.

Meanwhile the other boy just rolls his eyes playfully in response.
"Rightt.. it says '2+ mutual friends' here.. do you know who she is? "

Saying that he shows the profile to both his friends. It was from a girl whose user was 'e_seoseo98'.

Yeosang recognised the profile,
"Oh, that's Jiwoo's sister. You should add back if you want to, she's quite nice.. "
He says, Jongho thinks for a few seconds then adds back.

"Yea anyways.. it's time for me to go now.. I promised Yeji that I'll accompany her while studying. See you both tomorrow?" Saying that she throws away the plastic glass in a nearby dustbin from which she was drinking. Both the boys nod and wave her a goodbye as she walks out of the hallway, leaving Yeosang and Jongho by themselves.

"Soo.. any plans for later?" The younger boy asks, trying to start a conversation between them two.

"Uh.. not really, I'm just gonna hang out with Jiwoo maybe. How about you?" The other replies.

Jongho felt a slight feeling of anger and also disappointment, he didn't let it show though.

"I see.. I'll be studying with Wooyoung and Sannie hyung, might as well become a third wheel.." He jokes, the older chuckles and shakes his head.

"Ah? Well good luck with that. And why is literally almost everyone studying except for me-" He says as he realises that they have a test tomorrow but he didn't really care about it.

"Because not everyone is smart like you, hyung~ you don't even have to study for these tests but you still get a high score.. I'm jealous honestly-" Jongho says in a fake offended tone, the other could tell that he was just joking so he laughs a bit.

"Huh? Oh it's nothing like that.. I'm not that smart though.." He gives out a small giggle, feeling flustered by the younger's comment.

"Yea right, you're not lying to anyone here, hyung." He hits his hyung's shoulder playfully.

"Ow- heyy.. your playful hits still hurt you know?" Yeosang says with a chuckle while rubbing his shoulder slightly.

"Ah do they..? Sorry hyung-" Jongho chuckles as well.

"It's alright, you're cute so I forgive you~" The hyung says as he squishes the other's cheeks. Meanwhile he pouts jokingly yet again as he feels his cheeks getting squished for the nth time.

"This is probably the 5th time someone has done this to me today-" The younger says with a blush which was starting to cover his face.

"Ah really? I don't blame them, your cheeks are just really squishy and it's hard to resist doing this~" Yeosang says teasingly and squishes his cheeks again, making him giggle and look away feeling shy.

"Oh stop it.. you're doing this on purpose just to make me blush at this point..." He says while still finding it difficult to hold eye contact with his hyung.

"I mean, yes. It's adorable seeing you blush, I can't lie~" The older says and then he finally let's go of the other's cheeks.

Jongho sighs as he shakes his head slowly.
"Why do I even.." He chuckles making Yeosang laugh too, his cheeks and ears were a still little crimson red because of blushing.

"Well anyways.. I need to get going now as well, see you tomorrow?" The younger continues, his hyung nods with a smile.

"Yea sure, see you tomorrow. " He replies with a wave, soon both of them start walking in their seprate ways.
