It's always been 'the way Cheol looks at Jihoon' but how about the way Jihoon looks at Seungcheol?

Tatlong taon.
Tatlong taong pagpapakalayo-layo mula sa buhay na inakala niyang puro kasinungalingan lang. Tatlumpu't anim na buwan na paghahanap sa sarili niyang matagal ding nakalimot. If there's anything that he has realized after all those years, it is the fact that his life wasn't just composed of pure lies at all. What he felt towards him was real.
Note the word 'was'.
Sa loob ng tatlong taon, marami nang nangyari at nagbago sa kaniya (maliban nalang sa height kung itatanong niyo) He became more mature and he could say that he really did find himself again for that long span of time.
But time did change him a lot. Especially his feelings. He became too indulged in bringing his old memories back that he has forgotten the way he felt every time he hears his voice over the phone or the way he calls him by those silly nicknames. He has forgotten all those little things that reminded him of that guy.
It's completely gone.
Wala na siyang nararamdaman.
His thoughts were interrupted when he felt his phone vibrated inside his pocket.
'Hyung, malapit na ba u?' He found himself smiling after reading the text from Seokmin. Siya pa lang ang tanging may alam na ngayon na uuwi si Jihoon. He wanted to keep it as a secret from the rest himself. At isa pa, alam niyang kapag alam nilang ngayon ang dating niya, kung ano-ano pang mga kagaguhan ang gagawin ng mga iyon. Mabuti naman at nakisama ito sa kaniya.
Isinandal niyang muli ang ulo sa bintana ng bus at pumikit. He has never felt this warm feeling for a long time now. The thought of seeing his friends who were basically his second family as well made his insides somersault in excitement. Pakingshet lang kasi hindi siya nakabili ng mga pasalubong para sa mga ito. Paniguradong kukuyugin siya ng mga ugok na 'yun pagdating niya.

"Jihoon hyuuuuung!!!" Tumakbo papalapit sa kaniya si Seokmin at niyakap siya nang mahigpit.
Jihoon awkwardly tapped his back and slowly pulled away after seeing the weird look in people's faces around them.
"OMG! Ang laki mo na!" Isang batok ang natanggap niya mula rito. Jihoon knows too well na ni isang sentimetro walang nagbago sa height niya. Kulay siguro ng buhok, oo. Nagpa-kulay kasi siya ng blonde isang linggo bago pumunta rito.
"Gago. Nang-aasar ka ba?"
"Joke lang! Hehe." Seokmin ruffled his hair. "Way the by, ang ganda talaga ng timing mo hyung!"
