The Project 'Buddy'

~36~

Sunoo's POV

Sunoo gagged in disgust. In front of him, were two pairs of couples this close to making out and here he was 5th wheeling.

"Could you guys...get a room?" he asked, covering his eyes dramatically.

"Aw, someone feels single~" he heard Gen coo and Sunghoon laughed after her comment. Sunoo let his hand fall and glared at Gen, who was smirking teasingly.

"I do not!" He defended, raking a hand through his aurburn hair, to show how strong he was without a partner.
Truth be told, he wasn't. Seeing his friends and their partners made him feel something inside. A desire. The need of a partner himself.

But so far, no one could meet his standards..except him.
But he was gone. No longer in Sunoo's presence. All the way in freaking Japan.
Sunoo sighed internally, cursing himself to why he told those stupid things to Niki that day. To be frank, he did like him. A lot. But stupid stupid mouth went at chose Sunghoon instead.

Ugh, this is so frustrating. He zoned out, trying to clear his head.

"Unoo..Sunoo!"

Sunoo's eyes snapped towards the voice. "Yeah?"

"Were you daydreaming again?" Jake asked, smirking slightly, and Sunoo rolled his eyes while shaking his head.

"Whatever you say..but as I was saying, they're inviting alumni to Belift for the Gbogh Fest!" Jake announced excitedly, and Gen's eyes lit up.

"No way! Gosh, then we should be getting ready!! When does it start?" She hurriedly questioned, getting started on untangling herself from Sunghoon's grasps. The latter whined while she did but Gen didn't care.

"Um...3 hours?"

Sunoo immediately ran to his room, and behind him he heard Gen's loud screams.

"BITCH ONLY NOW THEN YOU'RE TELLING US?! Oh my god, we gotta go. Babe, let me go!!"

Sunoo laughed silently, taking his time to pick his fit while the other bickered.
Maybe there was perks of being single.
______
About 2 hours later he was ready. With a white turtle neck and jeans, he almost looked extra comfy. The others were still doing last minute checks while he was busy looking at the mirror on his phone to check his hair.

(A/n his hair and makeup in the one from the Weverse Con Festival aka the pic on the reintroduction chapter)

Perfect. Now all he needed was to wait for his crazy loud ass friends who were taking the longest times of times to get ready. He sat down on the sofa and opened up his WhatsApp, only to find a few messages from a certain chat.

[Farewell Pookies]

Rikikid: I heard it's the Gbogh Fest today

Sunoo's heart skipped a beat. It's been three years since he's texted..well, not to him directly. But it's been a while since their last conversation on text as a group.

Jakie Jake: yeah! We're on the way there now!

Sunoo scoffed loudly and typed his reply to that obvious dumbass' lie.

                                                       Sunny: otw there your ass. Who's the one screaming in the room about where his shirt is huh??

Wonnie babe: HAH! Hyung are you seriously lying rn???

Jakie Jake: ugh Sunoo why can't you let me have a good image?

                                                       Sunny: oops...this is payback for the amount of third wheeling I have to do. 😝😝
