"hey minho you wanna join us for a vacay in jeju?" jeongin asks me at the end of class.

i glance to look around us, at his group of friends. "um, who's going?"

"me, obviously. um, my girlfriend," he hints to the blonde chick he had beside her. a lazy arm around her waist, but a firm hold on her hip bones. "um, im pretty sure changbin and his girl. and, fuck, i don't know, some other people i hang out with?" he sounds confuse, like he has no idea if they're gonna go to jeju or some other island.

"um, i think i'll pass," i nod my head to confirm my answer. slinging my back over my shoulder once i've packed all my belongings inside.

"yo, you sure? it's gonna be epic. just us guys. and some chicks," a gasp escapes his mouth and he soon walks up to me, leaving the girl behind. i try not to flinch when he gets too close to me. i stare at him in confusion while he stares at me with a sly smirk. "have you ever had a threesome?" he asks.

i squint my gaze and look at him in disbelief. "threesome?"

"no wait. even better. a foursome! gosh, have you ever watched girls make out with each other? oh fuck, you seriously won't regret watching that hard turning shit. that stuff is fucking hot—"

i slap his head before he can continue anymore. "yeah, no way. not going. and, fuck the threesome. that stays out of my bucket list," i tell him, patting his chest and turning around to leave.

foursome? girls making out with each other? what sort of shit is that?

i leave the group and make my way out the school building to head to my evening shift.

what happened with hyunjin was a mistake. he told me so himself.

he said he didn't mean to do it. that he has no romantic feelings for me and and that he was sorry for kissing me when he was drunk.

i didn't make it a big deal. we were both drunk, it's understandable.

to be honest, i think that accidental kiss has gotten us to be closer to each other.

hyunjin sometimes stays over at the studio when he's too caught up in his work. we talk to each other. about a lot of things. theories, life, situations, and then solutions.

i think this is the first time i've had someone to talk about things so deeply.

it's almost like we're so similar to each other. like were the same people but in different bodies. he understands my worries, my flaws. he knows them. has been there before.

i like the relationship he and i have.

a mutual but separate thing.

he's actually the one who started making me take time off for myself. focusing on myself. spending the day by myself just so i can collect my thoughts and feelings altogether. to understand myself more.

he's a great person. hyunjin, he's a decent guy. actually, he's the only person who i like talking with.

he keeps me distracted. from jisung. from my thoughts. and everything else just in general. stress, overthinking, feeling numb, etc. these days, i've been taking things slowly and calmly. i make sure not to overdo myself.

i'm laying in bed when i decide to check my social media after a while of not doing so. i press on through jeongin's chaotic stories when i suddenly spot a brunette head over the screen. i sit up and take a closer look at my the photo.
