"Hello, Hyungwon. How are you?"

Hyungwon was confused and at the same time, surprised to see that Changkyun was in front of his house. Why is he even visiting me?

"What are you doing here?" Hyungwon asked sharply, eyeing Changkyun from head to toe. He was really confused as to why the other had come. They weren't even close, so whatever was his reason, Hyungwon had thought that it may have something to do with him or someone close to him. Changkyun chuckled.

"Well, I just came from school and saw Hoseok coming out of this house. I wanted to know why he was here, since he wasn't in school. Would you mind letting me know?"

Hyungwon gulped upon hearing what Changkyun had to say. He was right, Hoseok and himself didn't go to school. He asked Hoseok to go over at his place. He asked Hoseok to drink with him. He kissed Hoseok.

Kissed...

The thought of Hoseok's lips on his made Hyungwon blush hard. He wanted to hide it, however, Changkyun was able to notice the redness of the other's cheeks. He smirked, seeing the other triggered. Very triggered...

"W-well, he slept over s-since I asked him to," Hyungwon responded, his voice becoming shaky. He didn't know how to safely respond, hence, he responded with the first thing that came to his mind. He didn't know, it would actually be the most dangerous response.

"And why did he sleep over? If you don't mind me asking."

Hyungwon couldn't respond. In fact, he realized he could be done for. Knowing Changkyun, he knew that any response could give will be something that will be used against him. Anything he will say will be used against him. He was lost in thoughts, unsure of what to actually say. He didn't know what to do. He just stood there, speechless, looking down, while a pair of dark brown orbs stared directly into him, as if going through his soul.

"It's okay, I understand if you don't actually want to answer," Changkyun spoke, breaking the silence. When Hyungwon looked up to him, he was smiling. The smile was too... bright?

He wasn't sure how it looked like, but it was actually too bright.

"I should be going now," Changkyun spoke once more, before actually leaning closer to Hyungwon. He whispered something to his ear, which actually echoed in his mind.

"Be careful of Hoseok. You don't know who he actually is."

Hyungwon stepped back, feeling nervous and wary, remembering who Changkyun actually was. He remembered what he despised. He remembered his true character. He remembered what he just did – and he hated it. He started to hate that he actually drank too much. He started to hate the fact that he did something he despised long ago. He hated the fact that he kissed someone of the same gender. He hated the fact that he kissed a male.

He hated the fact that he kissed his best friend.

And now, he started to hate his best friend. He started to hate the only person that talked to him, the only person that spent time with him, the only person he had left.

And he hated it.

Changkyun smiled at the sight before him. He felt successful with the fact that he was able to build on Hyungwon's hatred, knowing for a fact that this was where he would start in making Hoseok his. He wanted Hyungwon to know who Hoseok really is, and then build on his hatred. He wanted to separate the two of them. He wanted Hoseok to be his, desperately.

"Bye, Hyungwon. Take care, and beware." Changkyun spoke before finally turning his back and walking away, leaving Hyungwon clenching his fists in anger. He smirked successfully, as he was able to trigger the other. He was finally one step closer to his goal.

One step towards owning Hoseok.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom, I'm leaving!" Hoseok shouted to his mother as he was about to leave for school. He was feeling happy, but anxious at the same time. The thought of the events that occurred the previous day was still haunting him, and he wasn't sure if he should be happy or not.

Happy, in a sense, that Hyungwon had expressed interest towards him. He knew how the other boy resented homosexuality, yet, he was able to what Hoseok was, and what his feelings for the other was. He even kissed back, Hoseok thought. This was something that brought him joy, something that made his heart skip a beat.

On the other hand, he was also feeling anxious. Hyungwon's actions may have been under the influence of the alcohol that he ingested. He may have unintentionally kissed Hoseok because he felt he had no choice but to do so, and it would be a mood breaker if he didn't.

But this was impossible...

Hoseok had thought too much that he hadn't noticed he was already in school. Upon realizing where he already was, he immediately entered the gate and went to his classroom. There, he was able to see a slim figure sitting beside where he was seated, with his head resting on his desk. He immediately recognized the figure and excitedly went to go to his seat.

"Good Morning, Hyungwonie~," Hoseok spoke in a cutesy tone. However, the other didn't budge. Hoseok placed his bag under his table and faced Hyungwon's direction.

"Hey, Hyungwon," Hoseok called again, but the other didn't budge. He called several times, but to no success. Feeling surrendered, Hoseok stood up and went to the back of Hyungwon's chair. He immediately placed his arms around the other's abdomen.

However, the response he got was something that shook his whole being.

Hyungwon placed his arms on top of Hoseok's hands and roughly removed them. After which, he stood up and faced Hoseok, eyes filled with anger, hatred, and most of all, sincerity. He was mad...

"Could you please stay away from me?"

The whole situation had everyone in the room looking at the two of them. They began talking about the two, murmuring different thoughts and opinions. However, no one knew the exact truth. No one dared say anything, for they knew nothing.

Only Hyungwon and I knew...

The statement that just came out of Hyungwon reverberated on Hoseok's mind. He was surprised. He never saw that coming, and he never expected to receive that kind of response. We were just fine yesterday...

Hoseok's mind was blank. He couldn't think of anything that could fit the current situation. He wasn't ready for these reactions. He had a lot of questions in mind, but there were no answers. There was, however, one word that came to his mind. One word that he thinks would be the end of his secrets.

Revealed.
