( It's almost the end of the year for Jihoon and Jinyoung)

3rd person POV

The more Jinyoung thought about it, the more infuriating it was that Jihoon just had to get himself another boy toy just because he ignore him once. Not even twice but once. 

" I'm sick of this." He got up and grabbed his phone with his headphones and headed out. He didn't care where but he just knew that he couldn't be inside right now. He felt so stuffed and frustrated. 

He was walking around the park then found a food truck. It was the exact same one where him and Jihoon had their first out side of school meeting. He remembers it like it was yesterday. Jihoon spilled coke all over his favourite pink sweatshirt so, Jinyoung let Jihoon borrow his. 

" I wonder where that hoodie went" Jinyoung was talking to himself when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked around and saw the last person he wanted to see.

" Hi." Daniel shyly waved.

" Um.... hi?"

" You're Jinyoung right?"

" Yea? "

" Listen, I heard that you know Jihoon very well, so I was wondering if you can help me out."

Now Jinyoung knew that he had two options. One was either ignore Daniel and carry on with ordering a delicious pizza that reminded him so much of Jihoon or, he could help Daniel so Jihoon can be happy but him and Jihoon can still be friends. 

" I'll think about it...."

" Thank you! Here's my number by the way! If you ever get hungry or need a place to stay, come over! I make the best ramen ever!" then Daniel went back to where he was going.

"I did the right thing...... right?" Jinyoung whispered to himself


JINYOUNG POV

then I felt another tap on my shoulder

" Daniel, I said, I'll think ab-"

" Um, Hi"

I turned around because I recognised that voice. The only voice that brought at least a little bit of  light into my eternal dark life. The only voice that could make me smile or laugh.

" Jihoon, hey."

" Sorry, was I bothering you?"

" No. Not at all."

after we bought our pizzas, we went to sit down on the park bench. we just kept munching on the pizza and didn't really talk

" Wow."

Jihoon broke the silence... Thank god

" This place sure reminds me of memories..."

" Yea.." I chuckled

" I remember when you first came to the school."

" Me too."

" So dark and edgy."

" are you saying that I'm not dark and edgy anymore?" I asked jokingly with a dramatic hurt expression on my face.

Jihoon laughed.

" Well not in front of me at least."

then the silence began once again and this time, I wanted to break the silence.

" Jihoon?"

" Hmm?"

" Thank you for putting up with an asshole like me for the whole year. I really owe you one."

" Jinyoung, don't say that . You're the only the most real friend I ever had at this school, or anywhere actually."

" really?" I shared my head lightly in disbelief. I mean who wouldn't want to be friends with Jihoon? He's sweet, he's loyal.  he's everything you'd want in a friend

" Really. To be honest, I wouldn't have known what to do if you didn't come here."

I looked at Jihoon. his eyes were filled with sincere.

" Thanks, Jihoon. I feel the same way. I would've still been that asshole if it wasn't for you. Now, I'm just a little less of an asshole."

Jihoon laughed.

as he laughed, he slightly touched my wrist and his eyes widened. 

"Jinyoung..."

I quickly tried to hide my wrist but failed because Jihoon snatch it before I could cover it with my oversized hoodie.

He gasped at the cut marks. One of them was new, from yesterday night.

" Jinyoung.. what the... I don't even" Jihoon couldn't say a full sentence and I could see the tears in his eyes

Only Jihoon's tears could make me feel this guilty


JIHOON POV

I grabbed Jinyoung's wrist just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or imagining things.

His whole wrist was cover and I could see that one was freshly cut and was still not healing. 

Why didn't I notice this? Why didn't I notice that he only wore sweatshirts that covered his whole arm even in summer. What if I haven't noticed this? Would something have happened to Jinyoung if I was even a little late.

I couldn't help it. Tears started forming in my eyes because I couldn't help but feel like this was my fault.
