"so what you're telling me," junhui shouted, his voice half covered by the mind-numbing party music playing in the background, "is that, you like that kid?"

"yes, i like him," vernon shouted back, surrounded by girls who kept pushing themselves on to vernon.

"you mean," junhui laughed like vernon just told him the funniest joke in the whole world, "you would like to fuck him?"

"shut the fuck up," vernon pushed the girls off him with an annoyed expression on his face, "i like him, just like, nothing else, just like."

"you know, he does have a pretty ass if that's what you're looking for this time," junhui continued laughing while texting someone on his phone.

vernon glared at junhui one last time before walking out the house and on to the streets, illuminated by streetlights that gave off a warm orange vibe. vernon has always hated this kind of orange, vague and unclear.

"vernon what the fuck?" junhui followed vernon out of the house, "it's just one kid, what's the big deal?"

"jun," vernon turned around, now facing jun, "have you ever loved somebody?"

jun blinked, the sudden question surprised him, "why do you need to know?"

"i know you have," vernon shook his head, "that chinese kid? what was his name again? ming?"

jun blinked, again. minghao. that's the name vernon is looking for. so why couldn't he just admit it? vernon is his bestfriend, they talk and share everything with each other. but jun don't understand, he just can't tell vernon, or anyone. perhaps, is he embarrassed, to really love somebody?

"minghao," vernon said the name that dragged jun back to reality, "that's the chinese kid who you loved."

"no, no, vernon," words spilled out of jun's mouth without jun knowing why, "that's not right. i didn't love him."

vernon quietly stood there, with his bestfriend, and observed the warm orange light emitted by street lamps- vague, and unclear. he stood there, and waited.

"i didn't love him," jun said, again.

"jun, why are you afraid to love? why do you assume that I can't actually love somebody? and how the fuck do you love someone while hiding it from the whole world?" vernon questioned jun, who just stood there.

"you can't, vernon, you can't. this whole situation about you loving someone is just too quixotic. you've never truely loved someone before. you've never even gotten into a real relationship before, except the one in middle school, but you did that because you just had to fit in. vernon, you are incapable of loving someone, at least now. you might be able to grow into someone more mature later in life, but as if now, vernon, don't hurt him." jun shooked his head and nodded it, his eyes shining sincerely.

vernon needed words. he needed words to emit what he feels towards seungkwan. but it's as if all the words just forgot how to form a sentence, vernon was speechless.

"don't hurt him," jun said again. it's like he's also talking to himself. jun looked back at the dark orange light the lamps emitted, and his love for minghao felt more vague and impossible than ever.

"are you really vernon's?"

seungkwan was being asked by curious guys and jealoused girls.

"is vernon your daddy?" they asked.

seungkwan cringed. why did they think vernon is his.... daddy? whatever that means.

"no, i'm his mommy." seungkwan threw a few words at the crowd and left, dragging dk with him.

"honestly, what happened between you and vernon? everyone has been gossping about what happened lately." dk shook his head at his friend. who fixed his already perfect hair casually, as if nothing had happened.

"what did they say about us? i'm up for some good drama," seungkwan laughed and padded dk's shoulder.

"some people say he forcefully dragged you on to bed and interesting things happened... other people think that you basically came to this school just for him," dk counted the different stories he heard around the hallways and across the basketball courts, "and there are also people who assumed that you cheated on mingyu, who they think ditched wonwoo for you, just to be with vernon!"

"that's some real interesting drama, now what else," seungkwan poked a hole on his yogurt cap with a straw.

"and als- wait seungkwan! that's not the point here! people are gossiping about you and they're saying bad things about you and-" dk took the yogurt away from seungkwan, who looked up uninterestedly at him.

"doesn't matter to me," seungkwan chuckled and snatched his yogurt back from dk, "they can waste their own time gossiping about me all they want. me still very best quality!"

"but-"

"they're just jealoused that vernon is mine," seungkwan said. then seconds past before seungkwan finally realized what he just said. seungkwan covered his mouth and he could feel his cheeks warming up.

"hm," a teasing voice that sent shivers across his spine whispered next to his right ear, "so you think that... i'm yours?"
