Childhood Friends | HyungWonho

12 : 11

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Hoseok (hyung!) Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sings. After making a wish, I blow out the candles.

I opened up all the presents, Hyungwon's parents giving me a gift basket full of small toys and a lot of candy, eomma got me an Xbox One, and everyone else got me either clothes, gift cards, or money. "I'll give you my present after everyone's gone." Hyungwon whispers in my ear.

After everyone ate cake, people started leaving one by one until it was just me, Hyungwon, eomma and Hyungwon's parents. They were talking in the living room and Hyungwon and I went up to my room to plug in my Xbox. We played for a while until it started to get dark outside. "Hyungwon! We'll be leaving now. Do you want to sleep over?" His eomma asked from downstairs. "I'm gonna sleep over, eomma! Goodnight!" His parents say goodnight and leave.

"So, where's the present you promised me?" I asked once we sat on my bed. He got out a piece of paper from his pocket, took a deep breath, and handed it to me.

I look up at Hyungwon and see him staring at me, trying to read my expression. "So... did you like it?" He asked with worried eyes. I smiled. "Of course I like it. Actually, I don't like it... I love it!" He smiled as well and started giggling. "Really? You really do love it?" "Yes! This is the best present anyone has ever given me." I give him a tight hug to which he returns with just as much force.

I grab tape from my desk in my room and tape the poem to the wall where I still keep all the drawings we have made. Hyungwon started to get excited and hugged me again. "Hyung~ po-po!" Hyungwon whines. I roll my eyes but with a smile and peck his lips. We stare at each other with a smile on our faces for a while. He closes his eyes and snuggles his face into my chest. "Happy birthday, Hoseokie hyung. I love you~" "Thanks. I love you too." I say with a wide smile.

"I'm getting tired, Hoseokie hyung. Can we take a bath already?" Hyungwon asks while yawning. "Sure." I warmly say while rubbing his back. We head to the bathroom and bathe together.

After our bath, we put on some pajamas and head to bed. "What do you want to do tomorrow?" I ask as we were laying under my covers, facing each other. "Um, actually, Minhyuk from school wanted to hangout with me tomorrow..." I sighed. "You're always hanging out with Minhyuk now." I said with a hint of disappointment in my voice.

I turn around and face the other way. "I'm sorry! We can hangout the next day don't worry." He puts a hand on my shoulder. "Don't be mad, hyung." He says while rubbing my arm. "I'm not mad. I just... I'm just tired. Night."

"Hyung, you know I get nightmares without my goodnight po-po." I sigh and turn around to give him a quick kiss before turning back around. "Goodnight, hyung." He snuggled close behind me and kissed the back of my head. As much as I didn't want to smile, I couldn't help it. I turn around and snuggle close to him. "Goodnight." I could never stay mad at Hyungwon.

After waking up, I found Hyungwon laying on my arm. I tried to take my hand away without waking him up but failed miserably. "Morning." I say, a little guilty for waking him up because I know how much he loves his sleep. "Morning." He groans out. "What time is it, hyung?" "Almost 8:30." I respond.

He gasps. "I have to get ready! Minhyuk is coming in half an hour." He jumps out of bed and puts his shoes on. "Wait!" I yell before he would dash out of my room. I sit up.

"Why is he coming so early? Are you hanging out with him all day?" He comes back and sits on the edge of the bed next to me. "Yeah, he was really eager to hangout with me. I'll come back here tonight, don't worry, hyung." He rubs my back. "Now give me a po-po before I leave!" He demands. I peck his lips but did not smile like how I usually do.

"Hyung, don't be so grouchy. Today will be over in no time." He smiles. He checks the alarm clock on my nightstand. "I have to go get ready. See ya, hyung!" He yells as he runs out of my room.

It was finally night time. I was playing on my Xbox when the doorbell rang. I ran downstairs and opened the door to my pleasure. "Hi, hyung!" Hyungwon greeted. "Hey! Come on in." I opened the door wider and let him in. We head up to my room.

"How was your day, hyung?" "I played on the Xbox, eomma took me out to eat and I played on the Xbox some more. What about you?" I ask. "Me and Minhyuk had an amazing day! We went to the park, and then the arcade, then we went to eat lunch at his house, and then we played on his Ps4 for the rest of the day." "Well... at least you had fun today."

"So you're not jealous anymore?" He asks, wiping my smile off my face. "Jealous? When was I ever jealous?" "You were obviously jealous that Minhyuk got to hangout with me instead of you." "I was not jealous." I say with gritted teeth. "Whatever you say." He says with a smirk. I attack him and pin him to the ground. I grab his wrists and straddle him. "Take it back!" "No! Just admit that you were at least a teensy bit jealous. Cause it's true!"

My grip grows tighter around his wrists. "I. Was not. Jealous!" "Yes you were! You still are since you're trying so hard not to admit it." I throw his arms and stand up. "You can go back to your house for all I care. I'm going back to my room!" I yell as I stomp up the stairs. "Fine! And I am going back to my house!" I hear the front door slam before I slam my door. I sit on my bed with a huff.

A few minutes later, I hear a 'tick' at my window. Then I see a pencil fly at my window. I walk up to it and open it. "Hyung, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have accused you like that. I just wanted to tease you a bit." "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have overreacted. I guess I was a little jealous." I chuckle. "If you want, you can come spend the night over here again." "Really?! Ok, I'll be right there." He excitedly says.

I go downstairs and open the door before he had a chance to knock. We head upstairs and do our usual nighttime routine before heading to bed. "So you admit that you were jealous?" Hyungwon asks while we were laying down, facing each other. I glare at him. "Do you really wanna go through that again?" "Right. Sorry."

"Hyungwon?" He doesn't answer. I didn't know if he was awake or not because the lights are off so it's dark. "Are you awake?" I ask. Silence. "I love you, Chae Hyungwon." "Aw, I love you too, hyung." I scream.

"What the heck, Hyungwon?! I thought you were asleep." "I know, I just wanted to see what you would say if I was sleeping. Plus, you know I can't go to sleep without hyung's po-pos." I mentally face palm.

"Hyung, po-po!" I lean close and peck his lips. "There. Now goodnight." I gouchily say. "Don't be so mad, hyung. Smile." He pokes my cheeks and drags his fingers up so that it would look like I'm smiling. I chuckle a little.

I could never stay mad at you, Chae Hyungwon.
