Besfriend's Boyfriend | sunsun

When practice finished Sunoo was dripping with sweat but he didn't have a moment to catch his breath. Immediately, he had to grab his bag and run back to the locker room, changing before he had to attend his filmography class. No matter how much Jake tried to convince him he looked incredible and the class would be thankful, Sunoo refused to attend his lessons in his cheer uniform.

In competitions, Sunoo didn't mind the white and baby blue ensemble. The blue shorts or pants never bothered him and the tight, long sleeve crop top, embellished with the intricate design of the two colours only led him to blush a little bit. A few times Dae or Jake had caught him shyly trying to cover his midriff, lifting his arms to wrap them around himself or uselessly tugging on the crop top, only to realise every time it didn't give at all. But that didn't really matter, Sunoo loved to exercise and practice and that often kept him confident within his body, it was more the attention that caused him to grow timid. In matches and competitions it was easier to focus, his mind always cleared of any thought but the next step, his next position and Sunoo loved the way that felt. Loved listening to the shouts and screams, meeting his teammates in the perfect combination to seamlessly carry out their routine and raise everyone's spirits. As much as they energised the crowd, he was always energised too.

However, in practice, when everyone's attention was just a little more lax, a little more wandering... he always felt someone's eyes on him.

Ordinarily, Sunoo hated attention, and whatever came over him during competitions had not given him the decency of possessing him during the rest of his life too. So, Sunoo refuses to walk into his class in a tight crop top and shorts, with pompoms hanging from his bag.

No, Sunoo will wear his oversized, comfortable clothing. And if he was going to get to listen to his lecture in comfort, he had to hurry and change.

He only heard distant shouts of, "If I don't see you at my party tonight, Kim Sunoo, I'm kicking you off the team!", as he ran off. Waving a hand over his head, he left the large field that housed both the basketball and cheer practices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Friday's, because apparently it was good for them to be familiarised with each other. Sunoo disagreed for personal reasons.

After changing and attending his filmography class, the last one of the day, Sunoo dragged himself to his dorm room in the hopes of collapsing and never having to leave his bed again. Why he chose further education in the first place was always beyond Sunoo at times like this, when his body was drained and his mind even more exhausted.

However, when he pushed on the door of his room, accidentally hitting the whiteboard hanging on it and wiping off the end of his name - he'd fix it later, he was too tired to use his arms right now - his plans were entirely ruined.

Gasping, and frozen in place for an awkward amount of time, Sunoo fumbled before his brain eventually kicked started and made him turn around.

"Oh, fuck, I'm sorry!" He was still standing in place, moving to shut the door and then facing it. "You didn't write anything on the whiteboard!"

A low chuckle sounded out behind him and then Jungwon was saying, "It's okay, Sunoo, we were only kissing."

"It wasn't really the kissing aspect that I was shocked at..." Sunoo muttered, still awkwardly facing the door.

Behind him, Jungwon grabbed his boyfriend's shirt from the floor before tossing it over to him, watching him pull it over his head and cover the hickeys he had just painted onto his neck.

Sunoo wasn't really traumatised, after two years of sharing a room with Jungwon he had gotten used to walking in on this type of event. Still, it wasn't something he welcomed with open arms.

"You can look now, Sunoo, it's safe." Heeseung laughed, standing up and patting Sunoo on the back, seemingly trying to get to the door.

Feeling guilty for interrupting them, he pointed over his shoulder at the door as he offered, "I-I can go to the library or something if you want to-"

"It's fine, Sunoo." Heeseung answered at the same time Jungwon said, "If you're okay with it."

Heeseung rolled his eyes, picking a jacket up off the floor and throwing it at his boyfriend. "He's kidding, Sunoo. I have to leave to make my next class anyway, so you're doing me a favour." He smiled, picking up his bag and swinging it over his shoulder.

Growing close to Heeseung as well, due to his presence around Jungwon, Sunoo could tell he wasn't annoyed. So, he simply smiled as well, waving politely as Heeseung pecked Jungwon one last time and then shut the door behind himself.

Finally confronted with his bed, Sunoo fell into the almost soft sheets and hugged his pillow to his chest.

Another low chuckle sounded out next to him, Jungwon watching from his own bed as he teased, "You need to start taking vitamins on a Monday or something."

"I think I'll just drop out instead." He mumbled into his pillow, eyes never opening.

"If you do that, I'll have to put up with some new, possibly crazy roommate." Standing up and pointing to the younger, though he had no idea as he was currently trying to fall asleep, Jungwon threatened, "I'll hold you hostage in this room before I let you drop out."

When Sunoo simply groaned, Jungwon laughed and moved over to their shared wardrobe, sifting through the clothes before he pulled out a shirt and threw it on his messy bed.

"Are you going tonight? To Dae's I mean?"

"Uh-huh."

"Really?" His eyes widened, sure that Sunoo would change his mind last minute.

"Uh-huh." Sunoo hummed again, pressed into his pillow and missing Jungwon's wide eyes and slow nod.

"Well... if you get overwhelmed just tell me, yeah? I've been to enough parties with the rest of the guys, I'm sure Heeseung hyung wouldn't mind coming home early with us." Jungwon casually offered as he continued to look through his clothes, presumably finding something to wear later.

Despite his desperate want to slip away, fall into the haze of sleep, a soft smile covered Sunoo's face at the words. On his first day, when he had walked into this room and seen the large, handsome man with thighs bigger than his head and charming dimples to make it hurt that much more, Sunoo had been a little terrified. For one, he was sure this man, who he discovered worked out regularly and was on the basketball team and a philosophy major that ranted about the true meaning of life at regular parties, would not be understanding of his introverted nature. However, Jungwon had slowly seen Sunoo's hesitance to attend parties or gatherings or the numerous hangouts he'd invited him on with his friends, and not once had he pressured Sunoo to leave since then.

Now, Sunoo's heart warmed every time Jungwon went out of his way to make him comfortable. Sunoo found it hard to make friends, especially ones that understood him, but Jungwon was constantly showing him that he was just that. His friend.

Also, maybe Sunoo had the slightest crush on him in the beginning due to the whole large thighs and dimples thing, but that had slowly left and been replaced with more of an admiration for the older. In many ways, Sunoo thought of Jungwon as his role model.

"Thank you, Hyung." He breathed, opening his eyes to find the older picking up some papers he must have knocked over. "You don't have to leave though. Jake will be there so he'll stay with me. And you should focus on Heeseung hyung, have fun and all that."

Jungwon smiled, picking up the last piece of paper and then looking over his shoulder, finding Sunoo's eyes. "Okay then, Sunoo. But if you lose him at all or just need me for anything, come and find me, yeah?"

Really, Sunoo wasn't sure if he would do that. Though he would want to be with someone he knew at all times, finding Jungwon almost certainly meant he'd find someone else and that was... well, Sunoo didn't want that. But, Jungwon was smiling sweetly and he was still grateful for the offer, so Sunoo smiled too, nodding softly in agreement before Jungwon finally let him fall asleep.
