The Project 'Buddy'

~32~

Flashback to when Sunoo got the letter...(before he posted that post)

"What is it hyung?" Jungwon asked, observing Sunoo's fuming face, his lips pursed and eyebrows connected.

He just sat there and Jake took the letter from him, slowly taking the letter out. It looked more like a card from where Jungwon was, and it was beautifully decorated.
But the moment Jake took it out, his eyes widened in shock, then he frowned. Heeseung read it over his shoulder and a Jungwon didn't know if it was a look of expectation or genuine surprise.

"Guys-what is it?" Jungwon asked again, but Jake didn't respond. He pulled his hand back a little when Jungwon tried reaching for the card and gave him a look.

"You sure you want to read it?" He finally asked.

"Bish, I don't even know what it's about! Just let me-," Jungwon snatched the card before anyone could stop him. And what he saw on it made his heart drop down deep into his stomach.

You are invited to...

Park Jeongseong & Jeong Seo-Jin's
              wedding happening very soon!

Date: **** 2024
Time: 9am to 1pm
Hope to see you there!

Love, J & S
[a/n: please excuse my horrible invitation writing 😭]

"Oh my..." Jungwon trailed off, comepletely lost for words. Jake looked away and Heeseung cuddled him close. Sunoo continued grumbling and mumbling colourful words underneath his breath about Jay.

Jungwon was deep in thought, not being able to wrap his head around the whole situation. Jay's...getting married? To that girl? Who was she anyway?
Jay did say it was his ex...and that he had actually always liked her. But marriage...that totally meant something else.
Jungwon didn't think too much. He knew things like this were bound to happen after yesterday. But...it was all happening to fast.

Jungwon just sighed and kept the invitation neatly in the envelope. He placed it gently on the coffee table in front of him and looked over at his friends, who were staring at him.

Waiting for an answer.

"You want to go?" Niki finally asked, causing everyone to hold on to their breath. Technically, Jungwon was supposed to go since he was invited. And he could bring his friends along just fine. [it said there in very small print that anyone could join him]

He throught for a while, not answering Niki's question directly.

"We..could just skip since it's technically the day before we fly off," the youngest added, looking at the card again.

It was. The wedding was tomorrow, and Jungwon and Niki were flying off the next day. Coincidence, right? Sunoo heaved out a huge sigh of frustration and rubbed his face.

"Aish, let's just not go. Who is he to just invite us like that anyway-,"

"I'll go."

6 heads turn to snap towards Jungwon.

"Sweetie, sorry, what did you say?" Gen pressed, frowning at Jungwon.

Jungwon looked at his friends in the eye and confidently repeated, "I'll go."

Then chaos. Jungwon couldn't hear anybody because everyone besically went talking over each other and raising their voices.

"But Jungwon-," Jake cried, "are you seriously going to see that bitch kiss another girl?" Sunoo exclaimed, "You don't have to do this!" Niki pleaded, "are you sure?" Heeseung asked, "jungwon you know it's completely fine to skip," Gen assured and a simple "What?!" came out of Sunghoon.
