when opposites fall.

more than friends?

as days turned into weeks, the air around riwoo and woonhak crackled with flirtation. their relationship blossomed like flowers in spring, vibrant and full of life, drawing the attention of their friends. 

sungho and jaehyun, ever the observant duo, noticed the subtle glances exchanged and the teasing touches that spoke volumes. they shared knowing smiles and exchanged playful comments, thrilled to see their friends navigating the waters of young love.

taesan and leehan, however, were just beginning to catch on. their moments were filled with affectionate glances and casual touches, but they still hadn't quite put the pieces together. 

leehan would often glance at riwoo and woonhak, his brow furrowing in confusion at the dynamic between them. taesan, on the other hand, watched with a soft smile, already sensing the sweet tension that surrounded the pair.

riwoo found himself getting increasingly flustered around woonhak, his heart racing every time their hands brushed or when woonhak leaned in just a bit too close. but as much as he adored these moments, there was an underlying jealousy that he struggled to manage, especially when other girls began to take an interest in woonhak.

one afternoon, while they were all hanging out at a nearby café, a girl approached their table. she was confident and flirty, her laughter ringing out like a melody as she sauntered over to woonhak, completely oblivious to the daggers riwoo was silently throwing in her direction.

"hey there," she said with a bright smile, leaning slightly on the table. "what's a cute guy like you doing here all alone?"

riwoo's heart sank as he watched her flip her hair over her shoulder, leaning in closer to woonhak. he felt a surge of irritation bubbling up inside him, jealousy gnawing at his insides like a relentless beast. he crossed his arms, trying to appear nonchalant, but it was clear to everyone that he was seething.

"just hanging out with friends," woonhak replied casually, glancing at riwoo for a brief moment. the look in his eyes held a hint of amusement, making riwoo's heart flutter despite the situation.

the girl didn't seem to take the hint. "you know, i've seen you around. you're really cute. we should hang out sometime," she said, her tone flirtatious as she bit her lip.

riwoo's silence spoke volumes. he felt himself growing more and more frustrated, unable to vocalize the storm of emotions raging within him. instead, he resorted to throwing petty tantrums—huffing and puffing, rolling his eyes dramatically, and even pretending to check his phone to avoid looking at them.

sungho and jaehyun exchanged amused glances, clearly enjoying the show. "hey, riwoo, everything okay?" jaehyun teased, nudging him playfully. "you look a bit... tense."
