"jihoon?"

"seungcheol?"

"what were you doing with soonyoungie?"

"we bought some sweets, why?"

"nothing, haha. "

seungcheol's laugh worried jihoon, it was forced and so.. odd. " are you alright-? " jihoon asked, looking at the taller man. seungcheol nodded and wore a smile. the smile feels fake, coups' eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes shows a hint of sadness. jihoon was not comfortable with what he's seeing so he decided to try to cheer him up.

"cheol~ah, want some chocolates? hoshi and i bought some for you." jihoon sweetly said, doing an aegyo just for coups  //a/n: he's so soft omg i wish jihoon was like this everyday//, and looked at coups with a smile. it wasn't wide and it wasn't forced. to seungcheol, jihoon is like a sunshine that would cheer him up every time he needed it. he needed jihoon- but this is not a jicheol book, sadly.

cheol nodded and wore a smile, he felt fuzzy inside and jihoon gave him a piece. "you're my wife right now, jihoon~ah." seungcheol said, the sadness in his voice faded and became sweet. "kiss the chocolate then feed m-" jihoon did not do what he said and shoved the chocolate on his face. jeonghan laughed at the smaller boy's action.

"jeonghan hyung?" jihoon innocently asked, "i didn't notice you." he added. jeonghan looked confused, he was sure that he's been standing here for quite a while now. " cheol, hi!" soonyoung called out and grabbed jihoon. "soonyoung? i thought you went home?" jihoon asked, burried in hoshi's chest. he quickly pushed hoshi away and looked at him. "i saw seungcheol hyung and jeonghan hyung, hehe." he laughed and smiled at jihoon. " i told you to head home, though?" jihoon said, emotionless and raised an eyebrow at soonyoung. he just laughed at jihoon as a response to his "question".

jihoon rolled his eyes and glanced at seungcheol. he saw his hyungs being so sweet. too sweet that they'd be mistakened as a couple. 'why am i affected? why do i feel like my heart's been torned into a million pieces? why-' his thoughts were cut off when soonyoung pulled him out of that scene.

"jihoon-!" seungcheol yelled but jihoon ignored his hyung. the person he had feelings for. his inspiration to everything. "jihoon~ah?" soonyoung sang, it was so.. soothing and relaxing to listen to. it's like listening to a music box, playing a sad or a lovely song. jihoon looked at soonyoung, "hoshi. it hurts." soonyoung looked back at jihoon, he saw tears forming on the younger's eye. "my heart- it feels like it was being pierced with a sword." soonyoung hugged jihoon and comforted him.

"don't worry jihoon-ah, i'm here. i might not be your knight in shining armor but.." he faced jihoon and lifted his face up. there were tears falling down. jihoon's cheeks were red. too red. "i can be the shoulder that you can cry on, lean on, and vent on." soonyoung smiled and wiped jihoon's tears. jihoon sobbed quietly and hugged soonyoung's back.

"shall we go back? " hoshi asked jihoon, jihoon nodded and leaned on hoshi's back. hoshi carried woozi by doing a piggyback ride. jihoon muttered a "thank you", it was so soft and so quiet that soonyoung barely caught it. it's a relief that he did. he smiled for the millionth time today because of a mini-sized collage student that tripped in front of him. they reached the dorm and made his way to jihoon's room.
