You Belong With Me | Jeongcheol Fanfic

Chapter 26

The group gathered at Jeonghan's place later that evening, sprawled across his living room with snacks scattered around. The energy was light and playful, laughter echoing through the room as they reminisced about the week. Jeonghan, Seungcheol, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Hansol, Dino, and Wonwoo had all grown closer over the past few months, and now their hangouts were filled with teasing, jokes, and plenty of banter.

Seungkwan, ever the chatterbox, nudged Hansol playfully. "Alright, let's get to the important stuff. Who's going to spill first about their love life?"

Hansol groaned, rolling his eyes, while Dino perked up with a mischievous grin. "Yeah, let's hear it! What's going on with you and Hansol, Seungkwan?" Dino teased, wiggling his eyebrows as Seungkwan's face turned a shade of pink.

Seungkwan huffed dramatically, but there was no hiding the smile creeping onto his face. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, crossing his arms but clearly flustered. "Hansol and I are just... friends."

"Sure, sure," Mingyu chimed in, leaning back on the couch. "You've been inseparable lately. Don't think we haven't noticed!"

Hansol, feeling the heat of the attention, tried to play it cool but ended up bumping Seungkwan's shoulder lightly. "Maybe I like spending time with him. What of it?"

The group erupted in a chorus of "ooohs" and laughter, with Seungkwan burying his face in his hands, half-embarrassed but also secretly pleased.

Jeonghan, lounging comfortably next to Seungcheol, chuckled at the scene before giving Seungcheol a side glance. "So, what about you, Seungcheol? Any updates on your love life?" he asked with a knowing smile, already aware of the answer but loving the chance to tease.

Seungcheol smirked, looking down at Jeonghan. "Well, there's this one guy," he began, wrapping an arm around Jeonghan's shoulders. "He's kind of an angel, but he's also a total distraction. Can't focus on coding when he's around."

Jeonghan rolled his eyes but couldn't help but grin, leaning into Seungcheol's side. "Must be tough being so in love," he said sarcastically, earning another round of playful jabs from the group.

"Honestly, though," Wonwoo said, chiming in softly from his spot beside Mingyu. "You two are... pretty cute together." He gave them both a small smile, genuinely happy for his friends, though a little unsure about getting involved in the teasing.

Mingyu, who had been watching Wonwoo closely throughout the evening, nudged him gently. "Speaking of love lives... what about you, Wonwoo?" he asked, voice casual but eyes filled with curiosity.

Wonwoo blinked, caught off guard by the sudden attention, but before he could answer, Dino piped up, "Yeah, Mingyu, what about you? You've been awfully interested in Wonwoo lately. Is there something going on there?"

Mingyu sputtered, caught off guard, his usual confident demeanor faltering for a split second. "Wh-what? I'm just asking a question!" he defended, his face turning slightly red.

The room filled with laughter as the teasing turned toward Mingyu and Wonwoo, but Mingyu's gaze softened as he looked at Wonwoo, hoping his question hadn't been too obvious. Wonwoo, surprisingly, met Mingyu's eyes with a small smile, his shyness still present but slowly giving way to a warmth growing between them.

The night continued with more teasing, jokes, and laughter as the group reveled in each other's company, all feeling the bonds of friendship—and maybe even love—growing stronger.

While the rest of the group was caught up in their various romantic entanglements, Dino sat back on the couch with his arms crossed, watching the chaos unfold with an amused smirk. The others were all so tangled in their love lives, but Dino? He was perfectly content staying out of it all.
