dear boyfriend - chwe hansol + boo seungkwan

Vernon walked into the school just as the first bell rang announcing five minutes before first period. It was the most late Vernon had ever been, since he usually comes in fifteen minutes earlier than that.

With his note to Seungkwan in hand, in another red envelope, Vernon walked down the hallway to hurriedly put the letter into his locker before Seungkwan would notice him.

Vernon did not really know why he had to be so secretive about this. Maybe he was just embarrassed that he was still fighting to get Seungkwan to love him again. There was absolutely no way that he would be able to just move on. Seungkwan was the person most dearest to him. He wasn't going to let go of him any time soon.

Vernon turned down the hallway, spotting Seungkwan already leaning in front of his locker, a smile across his face as he talked to someone. Vernon immediately hid behind the corner of the hallway to look.

Seungkwan was laughing with Kim Mingyu, the tallest basketball player on the team. He towered over Seungkwan to the point that Seungkwan's head was practically turned all the way to the ceiling. In Mingyu's hand was a green envelope, one that he gave to Seungkwan with a big smile, his large teeth shining down on Seungkwan. Seungkwan giggled, giving Mingyu thanks, before Mingyu and him walked away.

Vernon sighed, feeling his blood boil. He was always jealous of Mingyu, he was the one that Seungkwan had a crush on his freshman year. Mingyu was a whole year older than both Vernon and Seungkwan, and on the valedictorian track, just like Seungkwan. Vernon envied Mingyu so much his head would hurt at times. Knowing that Seungkwan could fall for Mingyu again haunted Vernon in his sleep.

Vernon heard the minute bell ring, knowing he was very late. Vernon ran up to Seungkwan's locker and slipped the note inside, before rushing to his first class.

Seungkwan sat at his living room table waiting for Vernon, Vernon's newest letter in between his fingers. Vernon was running late for the first study session, and Seungkwan had already set out the cartons of chocolate milk and a bunch of fruit.

Seungkwan opened the envelope, pulling out the small piece of yellow notebook paper.

Do you remember our first date?

I took you to the movies, so we could watch this anime film that came out. I wasn't really into anime, but you kept asking me to come with you, so we went out. I never knew how bright someone's eyes could light up while watching an anime movie. However, your eyes sparkled, and your lips were curled in a smile, and I couldn't help but fall in love with the movie too.

Spending that night with you made me realize I never want to lose you.

-vernon.

"Damnit, Vernon!" Seungkwan spat aloud, his eyes shut.

Even though he knew Vernon did not mean to make him feel bad, Seungkwan felt like an asshole. Vernon was only trying to help Seungkwan remember, but Seungkwan was just falling into a pit of guilt and sadness reading each note. Maybe inviting Vernon for studying was a bad idea, he should have told him that he was going to be busy all we-

"Hey, Seungkwan!"

Seungkwan hurriedly shoved the note into the envelope placed it in his notebook, turning his head to see Vernon in the doorway, his backpack hanging on his left arm.
