Then There's Us. [ Hyunsung ]

12

It seemed like there was a cold war happening between Jisung and Hyunjin. Neither of them tried to approach each other. Jisung thought talking to Hyunjin would be the most idiotic thing he could do and Hyunjin needed some space to think about it.

Although they were said to be in a cold war, Hyunjin still did his everyday hobby and that was to stare at Jisung like he was some kind of exhibition in a museum. He also made sure that nobody bother Jisung behind his back.

When he was walking to the school, he heard Seojun and his friends talking about Jisung again. Hyunjin knew they were up to no good but he always guarded Jisung like a fairy godmother.He didn't know why he did that. Usually, he wouldn't care but he just wanted too.

"Is it really hard to accept that you like him?" Chan casually asked Hyunjin. The others also seemed to be so done with Hyunjin and his attitude. "I don't like him! I like girls!" Chan rolled his eyes. ". Ever heard of Bi?"

"Just look here Hyunjin...you had been acting like a total stalker...a creepy one at that." Felix commented. "And creepy is not good" Hyunjin stopped talking. He knew he couldn't fight that. He did behaved like a total stalker and a creep. "Don't you have anything else to do? I'm going to my class...class is starting soon" Hyunjin said as he angrily walked away from his friends.

"Let him be. He is just that slow to realize his feeling" Minho said, patting both of his friend's shoulders. "Should we buy some food before we go to class?" He asked, dragging away his friends. However, he still turned around and stared at Hyunjin's fading back. "You should hurry" Minho said.

"What?" Chan asked.

"Nothing."

"So, do you want to go the party?" Jisung raised an eyebrow, one arm reaching for his bag as Chan sat on his desk. "What party?" Chan faked his laugh. "You got to be kidding me, don't tell me you forgot" no matter how much Chan tried to remind him, he still couldn't remember. "You do remember that I always make small parties only among our friends at home, right?"

Jisung blinked his eyes a few times. It's been so long that he didn't remember about it. He nodded. "Right...I remember now"

"That's just a simple sleep over, hyung. It's not a party"

"So, are you going?" Chan continued, ignoring Jisung's statement. Jisung tilted his head, opening and closing his mouth trying to find the right answer. He swung his bag over his shoulder and asked. "On what day?"

"I don't know. Maybe tomorrow's night?" Jisung rubbed his nape. "But I have pop quiz the next day."
Chan narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me..."

"Don't tell me that you want to study" Jisung shrugged. " you got it right. I do want to study " chan still pleaded him. "Come on, Sung. You were not this diligent in middle school. Just what are you studying so hard for?"

For me...I want to escape from this place after I graduate. He wanted to say so but he didn't. "Sure then" to avoid further question, he just agreed.

"Alright! Let's go!" Chan said as they walked put from the class. School had ended long time ago, there was only the two of them left at school. "Hey" Jisung suddenly called out. "Will...will"

"Will?" Chan raised an eyebrow. "Will Hyunjin be there?" The more he talked, the smaller his voice became but Chan heard him loud and clear. To ask about Hyunjin-his pride as a man was on line. "Yes, he will? And why do you ask that?" Chan asked in a teasing manner. He nudged Jisung's hand with a smug look on his face before the younger suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him away while running.

"What?!! Why are we running?!!" Chan asked as the cold wind hit his face. Jisung didn't dare look back, he merely yelled. "Shut up and run!" Chan frowned. He was in an utter confusion until he turned his head around and saw some lunatic guy running after them. He couldn't see his face clearly as they were running. "Who the hell is that!?" Jisung didn't answer and they kept running until they lost track of their chasers.

"Shh" Jisung said as he pulled Chan into a small gap between houses. He put on a serious face until those people ran passed them. Only then did he let go of Chan's mouth and sighed in relief, his back sliding against the wall. " those are? Seojun's friends aren't they? " Chan asked while panting.

"It's a long story. You don't want to hear it" Jisung said while waving his hand. "Well, make the long story short" Chan scolded.

"Let's talk about this later. Can't we rest at my place first?" Jisung asked as he stood up but fell down again. He shut his eyes and hissed in pain. "Are you alright?" Chan asked as he abruptly bent down to help Jisung. "Nothing. I just sprain my leg while running."

"I think I have aspirin in my room" He said as he took chan's hand. They walked into Jisung's house and was greeted by emptiness. "When will your mom come home?"

"At 10, she have a lot of work today" Jisung said with a sign of grief on his face. Chan didn't ask further, he merely went into his room. Chan grabbed the first aid kit and tried searching online of what he should do. He threw his phone away
"Maybe we should go to the hospital after all!"

Jisung grabbed chan's hand. "Don't. My mom will know if I go to the hospital" Jisung said as sweat dripped down from his forehead. "So, what? She will see your injury even if you hide it"

"Chan...trust me just this once. I can handle the pain. I will go to a clinic or something but not the hospital. My mom works there"

"You should go" Jisung said as he took some medicine out. "I can do this by myself" however, Chan refused. "I'm not moving until I see you finish with it" Jisung shook his head at his friend's childishness. "Why are they chasing after you? I thought you guys are friends" Jisung didn't say anything and focused on his sprained ankle. Chan sighed and threw himself on Jisung's bed. "You don't want to go to the hospital nor answer me-"

"-Then...why did you ask about Hyunjin just now?" Chan suddenly dropped a bomb. He blinked his eyes innocently, trying so hard to dig information from Jisung.

Jisung decided to ignore him and continued applying medicine on his sprained ankle. "Am I invincible now?" Chan asked while poking Jisung's stomach. "Stop it" the squirrel like boy said but the smile on chan's face didn't seem like he would stop bothering Jisung.
