Hyungwon pulled to the school parking lot with his motorcycle. Hoseok stopped next to him to wait so that they could go to class together.

"Did you get that fixed", he said, nodding towards the motorcycle that looked good as new.

"It wasn't broken", Hyungwon gave a small smile that seemed somewhat forced.

"Huh? I thought I broke it", Hoseok still had a clear memory of falling down. It had been the scariest thing that had ever happened to him and he was sure that he wouldn't be driving for a while because of that.

"The only thing you broke was yourself", Hyungwon shook his head and started walking with Hoseok towards the school building. "Or actually I did it first", he continued under his breath. Hoseok heard it but pretended that he didn't.

After they had promised to continue as friends, it had been kind of awkward between them. They used to be really close when they were best friends but now it seemed like they were too apart.

No one at school knew that they weren't together anymore which caused many uncomfortable situations. When their relationship was mentioned, everyone tried to change the subject quickly but it still always ruined the mood.

Hoseok tried not to pay attention to it but he still noticed that Hyungwon was unhappy. It wasn't a wonder because even though he had agreed to it, he never wanted to break up with Hoseok.

This had all happened only because of a small mistake and oh, how Hyungwon hated himself because of making that mistake.

They were watching a video in health education class. Hoseok leaned against Hyungwon to watch it comfortably. It had been a normal thing for them previously but now it wasn't the same.

"Hoseok..." Hyungwon whispered to his ear. "Can we not do this? It feels weird."

"I'm sorry", Hoseok muttered and moved to lay on his own desk. He wasn't interested in the video anyways.

"Not your fault."

"Yes it is."

"No, it's mine."

"Shut up, it's all my fault."

"No, I'm the one who caused this all."

"I'm not blaming you."

"Well, you should", Hyungwon sounded almost mad.

Hoseok turned his head away. He didn't feel like arguing.

High-pitched voice in the video was speaking about different crushes everyone experiences in their teenager years. Hoseok wasn't really even listening the talk about celebrity crush and teacher crush but when it got to best friend crush, he suddenly felt anguished.

He couldn't take it and had to walk out of class, ignoring the teacher yelling after him. 

"Where is he going?" Jooheon asked when the door closed behind Hoseok.

"Hey, Hyungwon, what was that?" Kihyun asked from the guy sitting behind him who was looking towards the door.

"I don't know", Hyungwon muttered although he knew exactly why Hoseok had left.

"I'll go check on him", Hyunwoo said and followed Hoseok quickly, hoping to catch him before he'd get far.

He saw Hoseok disappearing to the boys' bathroom. He waited for a while before entering and when he did, he saw the guy leaning against the sink, his head hanging low and water dripping from his face.

"What's wrong?" he asked, taking a few steps to get closer.

"It's nothing", Hoseok muttered, drying his face with tissues.

"Let me guess, it's about Hyungwon?"

He sighed, letting his gaze drop. "Don't get yourself concerned."

Hyunwoo knew he was right. Hoseok was upset about his situation with Hyungwon and he understood why. "I heard you two chose to continue as friends."

Hoseok nodded.

"Is that really what you want?"

He didn't answer for two reasons. The first was that he wasn't that good of a friend with Hyunwoo. The second was that he didn't even know the answer himself.

"Thought so..." Hyunwoo muttered. "If you have noticed, Hyungwon is as sad about this as you are. You should talk things out properly with him because I hate seeing both of you like this."

Hoseok was getting mad and it was noticeable. "We have nothing to talk about. I'm not happy with our situation either but there's nothing I can do."

"You sure about that?" Hyunwoo raised his brows.

"No. You should fix your relationship with Minhyuk before trying to give me advice", Hoseok finished and left, closing the door with a bang.

He saw Hyungwon sitting with the others next to one table that was in the school yard. He decided to act like all was good now and sneaked closer with intention of scaring Hyungwon who had his back turned to Hoseok.

"I know it's you", Hyungwon said when Hoseok was just about to scare him, ruining everything.

"You're boring", Hoseok pouted and sat next to him. "Come on, cheer up", he nudged Hyungwon's side, trying to make him smile.

Hyungwon was hiding his smile well and it was time for desperate measures. There was one thing that was sure, Hyungwon was extremely ticklish and everyone knew it.

Hoseok attacked his fingers to Hyungwon's sides and started tickling him. He saw the guy trying to hold back a smile for a while but soon after, a giggle escaped from his mouth as he was struggling, trying to get away from Hoseok.

"S-sto...p", he tried to say between the laughter.

"Don't be so tense", Hoseok said, not stopping his tickling.

"Ho...seok-k", Hyungwon was gasping for air, trying to stop laughing. "I can't... breathe."

"Alright, I'll stop now", Hoseok finally let go. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking at Hyungwon who was leaning against the table, trying to catch his breath.

"Bastard, I almost died."

"I would've brought you back to life", he smiled proudly because his plan on getting Hyungwon to act normal again had succeeded. "By using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."

"Ew, you're gross", Hyungwon let out a laugh.

"What? Don't act like you haven't kissed me before."

"That was different then", he was annoyed that Hoseok had brought that subject up because now he felt bothersome again.

"We can still kiss, right?" Hoseok leaned closer and lowered his voice.

Hyungwon wanted to push him away but the smirk on his face made it impossible to say no. "Don't do anything you'll regret."

Hoseok gave a quick kiss on his cheek. "Until you get a girlfriend, I'll make sure you get enough kisses because that's what bros do?" he promised. 

"Some of us should use Hoseok as an inspiration", Jooheon who also heard that, said and gave Changkyun a meaningful look.

"What?" Changkyun asked and Jooheon just shook his head in disappointment because his hint wasn't received.

"I don't think anyone wants to be my girlfriend if they know I let my best friend kiss me", Hyungwon had a suspicious look on his face.

Hoseok didn't say anything about how that was the point and just muttered something about Hyungwon being wrong.

"Actually I was thinking about getting back together with Tia. She has been texting me, saying how she still wants me", Hyungwon confessed and Hoseok's face froze for a second.

"Sounds good", he said so quietly he didn't even heard it himself.
