I don't want you like a "Bestfriend" | C.S.C x Y.J.H ✔️

and if i get burned, at least we were electrified | part 1

Jeonghan was a true menace when he wanted to be. He might not be the one for the strength but strategies never failed him.

"How much will you give me to erase this from existence?"

"Do you think that is enough? Let me give you a series of photos where all the members drunk-kissed each other on the cheeks. Oh wait...you can find them on the internet."

The man was clearly disappointed as he was sure something was up but there wasn't enough proof.

"How much shall I give you to make sure every person in the whole world gets to know about these and also somewhat believes the affair?

"What?", The reporter was genuinely puzzled.

"I have a plan", Yoon Jeonghan smirked.

"He, himself, told me everything. Even requested me to intervene", Seungcheol's grandmother added.

Jeonghan was sure this would come out one day and he had prepared himself for the same but with the way every colour drained from Seungcheol's face, who was standing beside him, he wasn't so sure.

"Are you angry?", He had followed Seungcheol to his room while the elders kept on discussing amongst themselves.

"No, I'm ecstatic", Seungcheol was fuming.

"Seungcheol-"

"Jeonghan, why, just why?! You could've told me, discussed with me, talked to anyone. You could've talked to Joshua- God, you both are in it?!"

"No, he doesn't know anything. I did this myself-"

"And for yourself."

Jeonghan was stunned. That was a harsh allegation, "For...for us, Seungcheol. Many fans support us, even though they don't know if there's anything to support. I've done my whole research before taking this step. I just wanted your parents, everyone to know that our relationship isn't a bad idea."

"But this whole thing was a bad idea. Here I was berating myself on how could I let this slip happen when you, yourself, served them our destruction in a silver platter."

Jeonghan had expected everything, except the fact that his lover would break down so badly. In those moments, he regretted everything he had done. No fight, no tricks, nothing was worth Seungcheol's tears.

"I felt really bad seeing you on the verge of panic attack. I didn't know you would take it so badly-"

"You also didn't know it'd turn out to be so bad for our group, our members? How am I going to face them?!"

"They support us."

"Because they don't know their hyung sabotaged them!!!!"

Seungcheol softened in a vulnerable manner. There was a long pause of hesitancy like whatever he was going to ask next, the response of it would break his heart, "Did you kiss me for the camera? Did you make our relationship a show for the media, for the public?"

Jeonghan's heart broke by the question, "No...no no no. Coups, I only told him to follow us randomly, in the hopes that he will capture some warm moments like holding hands, hugging; the kind that feels more, is more. I just wanted to raise suspicions. But you were talking so passionately about something and you were so adorable in that moment, I just couldn't stop myself. I didn't even know he was there, that he would capture our kiss."

The elder looked at him like he didn't believe a word that came out of Jeonghan's mouth but said nothing further.

They left for Seoul immediately. The whole car ride was silent. Usually, Jeonghan would sit very comfortably in silence with Seungcheol but this so wasn't a good one.
