25. I got lied!

A/n:
I'm trying my best to keep up with the deadline. But I don't think I'm doing better at that tbh 🫥

Btw the last chapter & this one is from the time soonhoon went on a date without telling their friends. So, I hope it clears the misunderstanding.

Seungkwan

"You must have proof against me then," Joshua hyung's sweet like caramel voice literally gives me goosebumps as a sweet small smile appears on his kind face, scary. I fear for the life of that guy in front of him as Shua hyung steps closer to him, intimidating him in his own game with that creepy smile on his face. Everytime Shua hyung closes the gap, he steps back bringing it back to square until his back hits the wall.

"N_no, but...," his words stumble upon themselves as he tries so hard to keep himself steady in front of the kindest human being.

"If you don't then you shouldn't accuse one of it, should you?" his smile never leaves his lips, his eyes turning in a crescent shape that makes everyone into thinking this guy is the purest one in this fucked up world, but believe me this gentleman concept of his is just a show, he is the most cunning man to ever exist, also the craziest.

I actually feel bad for that guy for thinking Shua hyung is an easy target, and well he deserves this humiliation in front of quite a crowd, students are hovering over each other to get a grasp of the drama. From what I've heard in a few seconds is something like this, that bleached guy tried to frame Shua hyung, saying that he cheated on last semester exam and that's the reason why he got such a good CGPA.

Well, he is only one he can blame for his fate right now, 'cause it's well known in this university that no one can outsmart the Hong Jisoo aka Joshua in academics, so in a whole he dug his own grave. I hear murmurs in the crowd about how cool Joshua is, some even worshipping him saying he never gets angry and all the other stuff that doesn't go with him that only we know. But I gotta admit he has made quite a positive reputation.

I make my way to him, not near him but where he can easily spot me and he does. He takes a step back from the guy who nearly slumped on the floor, "Let's not get rumors ruin our friendship." He smiles.

Man! Look at that creepy smile!

"Oh, Seungkwan-ah," he acts like he just noticed my presence. He should really work on his acting, it looks weirder than Dino. I awkwardly smile as the crowd literally bores hole into me for taking away their drama. Talk about dramatic! And with Shua hyung's cheap Oscar worthy drama we get out of there. We could've easily slipped out of there but Shua hyung deliberately stalled time to make it juicier and knowing him, he wouldn't let that guy go easily.

I sometimes wonder how he and Seokmin hyung are dating, their personalities are literally north & south, yet so in love. But Shua hyung is also the most caring person, be it with Seokmin hyung or us, he loves us a lot and we all can easily say by his sweet gaze that is genuine, not like those fake ones which I witnessed just a few seconds ago.

"You look creepy, Seungkwan-ah!" and I wanna kill this hyung.

"Not as creepy as you. Do you know I literally got goosebumps when you smiled so innocently at that guy? Jeez!" I cringe at the thought. He laughs heartily, nearly falling all over me, I hold him still, rolling my eyes at this hyung but I don't resist the smile that curls my lips upwards.

"C'mon let's get going. It's already lunch hour, they might be waiting," he sings, slinging an arm around my shoulder. "I'm already hungry."

"What about the notes I asked for?" I gasp, don't tell me he forgot. I need them otherwise Jihoon hyung will kill me. "Hyung, you said you'd bring me."

"Oops! Blame my forgetful mind," he playfully shrugs, his mischievous smile widening. "You can just swing by our apartment and get them you know."

Why am I not surprised! I roll my eyes at him, he just wants me to suffer, nothing else. "Yeah, I probably will," I agree, aghast.

"But something is bothering me....," he trails, giving me a look that he wants me to prompt him further and I did, "What?"

"You don't have that course, why do you need the notes for?" I avert my gaze, eying my fidgeting fingers than look at his face and I know he won't back down this easily.

"I promised Jihoon hyung," I finally mumble out and I can feel his eyes growing bigger with the information.

"You?....Bringing notes for your hyung?... Without being begged for thousands time?" he gasps animatedly beside me.

"Hey! I'm not that petty!" I lash out, my face feels hot as if they're being baked in an oven, he laughs, waving a hand over my face. "You're petty, Seungkwan-ah."

"So what's the deal?" fuck!

"What deal....are you talking about?" I awkwardly chuckle, walking ahead of him.

"It's ok if you don't tell me, I'll know about it sooner or later," he shrugs, brushing past me. I feel bad for keeping it a secret from hyung, but I hope he understands.

"Jihoon hyung won't join us for lunch!" Seokmin hyung announces, slumping on a cafeteria chair next to Shua hyung with a sad face that says I miss my hyung.

"Don't get so sad now," Wonwoo hyung pats his back as he takes another chair next to Mingyu and Seokmin. "He has a project on musicology."

He has what now!

A project..that's on....musicology! Bro! I was the one who gave his proxy in the last musicology lecture and there was no such project at all. Don't tell me! I internally gasp as everything falls into pieces- Jihoon hyung's weird behavior yesterday, then intentionally avoiding my questions as well as to the point he skipped the part he was waiting for the rain to stop with someone who was new face in the university which I heard in a gossip and now I know who that was.

"You okay?" I feel a nudge against my shoulder, making me snap out of my trance. I sigh, shaking my head as I see it's just Vernon. "You've been zoning out for so long."

"....yeah, I'll just bring food for Jihoon hyung," my head involuntarily snap at Seokmin hyung so fast that I'm sure I ain't imagining the cracking sound there. "Hyung will get so happy."

"No!" fuck, I shouldn't have spoken this fast. I quickly adjust my pitch, clearing my throat in the process. "I mean I'll get him food, cause I promised to help him out with his project since he helped me last time."

safe!

Or maybe not? I see Joshua hyung's eyes suspiciously narrowing at me as I try my best to avoid it. But his next words momentarily leaves me speechless.

"Let Seungkwan bring the lunch for Jihoon," he suggests, a smile plastering on his lips as he looks into my soul. "You'll just end up making him hangout with you."

"Don't get sulky now," he ruffles Seokmin's hyung hair who's jutting his lips out in a beautiful pout that soon replaces with a eye blinding smile. "We can hang out together."

As much as I'm glad Shua hyung covering my back, I'm also pissed at Jihoon hyung for hiding things from me although I was also the one who wanted more than anyone to set Jihoon hyung with my cousin, but it still stinks that I was lied.

"Wait up, Kwanie." I look over my shoulder to find Vernon running behind me to keep up with my speed. "We didn't even get lunch for Jihoon hyung though."

"It isn't necessary," I wave him off when he finally catches up to me. "He isn't there anyway."

"Hyung isn't there?" the confusion in his heavy voice sounds cute. "Then why are we going to his studio?"

"Because I'm pissed," I glare at him, turning on my heel. I harshly tug at his jacket's collar to make him look at my eyes alone before dragging him with me by his collar. "So, we'll be making out there until I can't fucking think anything straight."
