Hug Me Melt Me | HoonSuk [✓]

Jihoon still couldn't believe what Hyunsuk told him. It made him sleep late again that night. And when Jihoon wakes up in the morning, Hyunsuk still avoids him. It feels like Hyunsuk really knows Jihoon's biological schedule to be able to go to work after preparing breakfast while Jihoon is still in deep sleep.

Jihoon went to work that day. He still keeps on thinking about what Hyunsuk told him. Hyunsuk likes him. A close guy friend has been romantically attracted to him. Jihoon has been thinking about what make Hyunsuk attracted to him. What did he do to make Hyunsuk attracted to him?

"You're here already? I thought you're going to take a few days off seeing how our team leader is dumping all the work for me to do," Hyunjin said. Jihoon just sits at his place without even responding to his coworker. Jihoon stares at his black screened desktop for a while before sighing. "What's the problem now?"

"My housemate like me," Jihoon said.

"And?"

"I have been thinking about what I have done that made him attracted to me. Am I attractive, Hwang Hyunjin?" Jihoon asked.

"If you ask me that, you are surely attractive though. If not, you won't even pass to be the news presenter. And you won't even have your own fandom and hater," Hyunjin said.

"So, I'm attractive on male perspective as well?" Jihoon asked.

"Depends. If they like a scumbag overworker who couldn't even hide their emotion from his face like you, then they'll be attracted to you," Hyunjin said.

"You always have something to diss me didn't you?" Jihoon asked.

"I see the opportunity, I grab it hard and won't let it go," Hyunjin said. But Jihoon seems to not really care about that. "And what's the problem? You have a bad experience with gay guys? Or do you hate them?"

"It's not that. I never really have any thoughts on that. They are also human like us. They just want to fall in love," Jihoon said. "But for Hyunsuk hyung... I don't know. I just don't know how to feel about it,"

"Are you disappointed that the person who's living with you likes you romantically?" Hyunjin asked.

"No," Jihoon said. "Instead of disappointment. I'm more confused,"

"You feel disgusted when he tells you that he likes you?" Hyunjin asked.

"Not really," Jihoon said. "Like I said. I'm confused. I can't think of anything. Like, I didn't feel any weird feeling when Hyunsuk hyung said that. I'm more into wondering why he liked me. Did he like my face? Or did I do something that made him like me? I just can't point it out. How can you like someone who has been living with you for years and then decided to tell them that. It makes me think the whole night you know? I'm really sleepy right now,"

"Eww,"

"What?"

"You're just bragging that you're attractive to me. And you seem fine. Do your job," Hyunjin took the documents from his table and put it on Jihoon's table. "And take back your portion of jobs,"

"You are the one who asked me. I'm just answering your question," Jihoon said.

"Then? What's you gonna do? Move out?" Hyunjin asked.

"I don't know," Jihoon said. "He's still avoiding me today. But he said that he still wants us to be friends,"

"What a complicated relationship you two have," Hyunjin said. "By the way. The trial for the murder case will be held in 3 days,"

"Trial, huh?"

"Did you see that? Isn't he the famous reporter?" Hyunsuk has been hearing that while passing the workers while walking toward his office. He just finished the meeting with the manager from another branch of the company for the business trip that he will be joining. But there have been several workers saying the similar things when he walked passing them.

Or is it just him. Because he has been thinking about Jihoon after he confessed yesterday, that's why everything he saw or heard somehow connected to Jihoon when it was not. From what they are talking about, it seems like the 'famous reporter' is in their company. And there's no way Jihoon will be here.

Jihoon is a very hardworking guy. He will be very focused and set his attention to what he's working on. No one can even bother him when he gets into his mode. That's why it's very impossible for him to be here when Jihoon, who's obviously in his working hour to be here.

"Oh. Boojang-nim. Someone is looking for you. He's waiting in the lobby," Minjeong said.

"Me? Who is it?" Hyunsuk asked.

"He said he's an acquaintance," Minjeong said. "I couldn't get to ask his name because Mr Yoon said that you know him well and told me just to tell you that he will be waiting at the lobby. Seems like Mr Yoon is also familiar with him,"

"Jaehyuk too?" Hyunsuk asked. It's not Jihoon, right? Hyunsuk then just walked toward the lobby, just to find Jihoon standing there while waving at some people who seemed to recognize him. Hyunsuk sighed. Jihoon turned in his direction and smiled brightly.

"Hyunsuk hyung~" he waved at Hyunsuk, earning attention from people who were at the lobby. Hyunsuk quickly walked toward Jihoon and pulled him out of the company building.

They went to the cafe right across from the company. Hyunsuk told him to sit while he ordered drinks for them. They have known each other for so long for them to know each other's order well.

"Aren't it still your working hours?" Hyunsuk asked while putting the iced peach tea in front of Jihoon.

"Yup. But I feel like you're going to avoid me again if I ever wait any longer," Jihoon said. He took the drink and sipped it. "You just confessed that you like me, didn't you?"

"Yeah. You're probably fee disgusted right?" Hyunsuk asked.

"To be honest, hyung. I didn't really feel that unpleasant kind of feeling when I heard your confession. I was just confused. That's all," Jihoon said. "Even now. I'm still confused. But I feel like we both don't want anything to change between us, right?"

"I at least don't want you to hate me," Hyunsuk said.

"Me too. I don't want to hate you as well. And after thinking for a while, I came up with a solution," Jihoon said. "Let's have a trial date,"
