Broken Dancer // Woosan

Nightmare

"Hey, can I have a night off?" Wooyoung asked through the phone, trying his best to hide his faint sniffling.

"Are you sick?" Hongjoong asked. His instant concern grew - Wooyoung had never taken a night off in the four years he had known him.

"Not exactly, but I'm just really not in the mood."

"What happened?"

"It's really stupid."

"Clearly not if you want a night off."

"Well, San and I have gotten pretty close, I guess you could say. We went out to lunch earlier."

"Holy shit, really?"

"Yeah, and I guess he's pretty comfortable around me, which is nice."

"Then what's the issue? Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Well, he told me about fucking a stripper, but he only did it to distract himself because he's interested in someone else. I don't know, that just really sucks to hear."

"So you're just a little heartbroken right now?" Hongjoong was in a state of conflict. He seemed to be the only person that knew the truth on both ends and it was tearing him apart.

"Yeah, and it sucks. I feel like I was doomed from the start. What was I thinking?"

"Do you want him to stop coming to Jet?"

"No, because that's the only time I get to live out my stupid fantasy. Is there something wrong with me? Why couldn't I fall in love with someone that isn't my professor? And even when he's not, he'd never give 'Jet' a chance either. But even if he did, the second he finds out it's me, my life is over."

Hongjoong sighed, trying to figure out a way to solve this very serious problem. "I think you should tell him."

"Absolutely not."

"Well, I don't think you'd like my other idea very much."

"What is it?"

"Talk to Seonghwa about it. He knows San well, you know that."

"I know. They were roommates in college."

"I didn't even know that."

"See what I mean? Why do I know that? San told me. Not Jet. Me. How am I supposed to be normal about that?"

"So what's your plan?"

"Talk to Seonghwa." Wooyoung sighed, feeling as if he had no other option. "When do you see him again?"

"He's with me now actually. I just stepped into the other room to talk to you."

"Oh, okay."

"You can have the night off, by the way."

"Thank you. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye, Wooyoungie."

Hongjoong loudly groaned once he got off the phone, then walked back into his bedroom.

"You okay?" Seonghwa asked.

"Babe, we gotta talk about something." He sighed, dreading this conversation. "But it's not about us, it's about Jet and San."

"Oh no." He mumbled, bracing himself for the worst. "How bad is it?"

"Probably a ten."

"I'm scared."

"So...as you know, they've hooked up twice."

"Oh god, is Jet in love with him or something?"

"Technically, yes."
