A WEEK LATER:-

Today was the day when Architecture staged the remake of Romeo and Juliet. Regardless of the location, Seokmin's gang arrived. Regardless of the animosity, Seokmin was their friend. Minghao was the most excited because, you know... However, that was not the only reason. Today is a very memorable day—the birthday of the one and only tiger (hamster). This was the cheapest way to celebrate it: no fancy restaurants or shopping centers. Everyone had already given him his gifts the day before. But Seokmin has yet to deliver his.

To avoid clashes, each side chose a corner.

Seokmin kept taking deep breaths. He was beginning to feel apprehensive; it had been a long time since he had stepped foot on a stage. But he had a very important person at his side. The trouble was that they had each developed an image that prevented them from even smiling at each other.

Somehow, the Goddess of Luck was on Seoksoo's side today (or was it). Everyone had left them alone to go somewhere. A few went to the makeup room, while the others went to the ticket office due to machine faults.

They were standing behind the curtain drops. Neither of them thought they would come to regret their decision.

" Are you nervous?" inquired Joshua.

"A little bit," said Seokmin. "But..."

"But what?" the elder inquired.

"I know a way to calm myself down," the youngster said, thinking of something in his brain.

"Don't tell me that-" Joshua was interrupted by him.

"You read my mind"

"But  anyone can walk upon-"

"So you want me to perform on stage in this condition?" Seokmin questioned with a pout on his gorgeous face. His attire made him appear like a prince, with his lovely eyes, wonderful grin, and slightly falling hair on his forehead.

" Fine." Joshua's arms circled Seokmin's neck. He leaned gently because he was hesitant. Their faces were only a few millimeters apart. And then they heard the sound of the draperies opening. The audience gasped audibly. There were only a few spectators, but the sound was excellent.

"Shit!" both of them yelled simultaneously. The others were not the issue; rather, both of their best friends were present at the moment. Joshua and Seokmin panicked and parted. This was not how they had hoped their day would turn out.

Joshua dashed off the stage and raced to his friends.

"Wait, I'll explain," he answered, somewhat panting.

" Am I even your best friend Joshuji?" questioned Jeonghan.

"Clearly we don't matter to you" stated Jihoon.

"Guys, let's just leave. " Vernon said, "He's a stranger to us now," as the others followed him, with the exception of Wen Junhui.

" Shua, I just don't-" he began, but tears streamed from Joshua's eyes, wetting his elegant face.

"J-just l-leave m-me al-lone" Joshua simply shoved him and left the room. He simply desired to escape from the world. It was very brutal; he couldn't even love someone without receiving a lot of abuse, particularly from his own buddies.

Jun was only trying to calm him down. He was astonished at first, but he realized that nothing could stop the heart from loving anyone, even a rival.

On the other hand, Seokmin was in the same situation.

"So this is why you were always lenient with Joshua?" mocked Seungcheol.

"There's a lot more to the story," explained Seokmin.

"Save your breath," said Mingyu.

"Thanks for this wonderful birthday gift, bro," Soonyoung said, his cynicism reaching a crescendo.

"Why are we still talking to him?" said Seungkwan, to which Chan responded.

"You're right for once Boo"

They all fled, leaving just Minghao.

"Seok, I underst-"

"Just join them, Hao; I just need a break," Seokmin said regretfully, sighing. "A lot happened in the last five minutes"

Seokmin desired Joshua, but he understood that the older needed some time. Now that his pals knew the truth, his parents were likely to find out about their hidden connection at any point. It was preferable that he informed his family about them.

Regardless of how bad the situation becomes.
