"seongie, i got your notes-" before jaeyoon could comprehend the situation, he was dragged inside the dorm to face a very angry and puffy-eyed inseong.

"you know very fucking well what you did, lee jaeyoon." inseong's voice literally dropped several octaves it sent a shudder down jaeyoon's spine.

"then tell me what did i do, kim inseong." he weaved around the fuming boy and harshly slapped the older's notes on his study table before turning back, a small smirk playing on his face.

it's working.

chani and him had planned to make inseong spill out his feelings honestly, from his own mouth. he, of course, had warned the younger one that it comes with concequences if it fails.

now, it's time to see if it'll work.

inseong shakily took a huge, deep breath.

"i love him. youngbin knows, you know. more than a younger brother. you clearly know." every word was slowly eating him away.

"you know, but yet you-"

"if you love him, why did you let him go?" both figures turned to face the front door, leaning against its frame was youngbin.

"i gave him a choice, i won't do something he doesn't want." a dam of tears was clearly welling up in inseong's fox eyes as he desperately tried to blink them away.

"you scared him, that's why he left." jaeyoon pushed past inseong and youngbin, heading for the lift to take him up to his dorm.

"i can't help you with this hyung, it's all you. but trust me, chani loves you too." all youngbin gave was a smile of reassurance before leaving, closing the door behind him.

inseong shakily launched onto his bed, throwing the duvets and the pillows.

where the hell did his phone go?

he almost knocked over a stuffed rottweiler that was sitting on the nightstand.

chani's plushie, chani's side of the bed.

inseong froze, picking up the stuffed puppy gingerly.

"you're chani's. and chani's mine." inseong reached over to snatch his phone from inbetween the nightstand and the wall, swiping down his contacts.

"he's mine, and no one else's." putting the stuffed black bundle of fur back to its place, inseong called zuho.

he picked up after two rings.

"hyung, what's up? you never called me before." zuho's voice seemed gravelly, as if he had just woken up. inseong glanced at the time, almost feeling apologetic.

it's 1.37am.

"who's that?" he heard another soft voice groan in the background, and his original plans did some adjustments.

"sorry for calling so late. i need help, can i come over?" the older knew zuho can't really say no, so he started changing even before he heard an answer.

there was rustling of bedsheets before the soft voice took the phone.

"hyung, it's taeyang. your problem is about chani, isn't it?" taeyang must have some hyung/brother 7th sense to be so spot on just from inseong's simple request.

"yeah, and it's big. i fucked up real bad." inseong was already throwing on his shoes like there's no tomorrow.

well technically, chani is his past, present and future.

"come over, we'll help."

"but-" zuho's attempt to object was shut down.

"no and no kisses."

zuho groaned in defeat.

"on my way, give me your dorm number."

--

as soon as the lift reaches his floor, jaeyoon heard muffled crying. peeking past the corner, he gasped softly.

"it's okay little one. i'll make you feel real good." jaeyoon saw one of his dorm neighbours cornering inseong's kid.

"j-jaeyoon-" his neighbour slapped his hand over the younger's mouth.

"oh? you're taken? jaeyoonie and i aren't on good terms, hm..."

jaeyoon's grasp on his bagstrap tighten.

no one messes with inseong's property.

"leave him, juho."

out of everyone, jaeyoon's neighbour just have to be zuho's older twin, baek juho.

"well, isn't it lee jaeyoon. fancy bumping into you this late." jaeyoon dragged chani by his arm and protectively stood in front of him.

"the kid's taken, he said it himself. now, stop being an asshole and leave him alone."

"not by you, i believe. so leave the gem alone." juho snarled.

"chani, we're leaving." jaeyoon fished out his keys and unlocked his door, pushing chani in before slamming it into juho's face.

"h-hyung..."

"yeah, i know. c'mere." chani instantly tackled jaeyoon into a hug.

"do you- think he'll look for me?" the younger sniffled.

"i'm just one kid that he picked up from those wicked businessmen."

"you're much more in his eyes." jaeyoon hauled him up higher so they're face-to-face.

"there's a reason to everything he does."

chani snuggled closer, yawning slightly.

"you sure know alot about inseong hyung."

jaeyoon smiled.

"i confessed to him and he just wanted us to be best friends. he didn't want to change that so i respect his decisions. i loved him before you did, and i still love him now," his fingers softly comb through chani's locks.

"he loves you, so i'll love you. he'll look for you, because he loves you. you love him too, right chani?"

there was silence, so jaeyoon deduced that chani already fell asleep.

"... yeah, chani loves inseong hyung. chani loves jaeyoon hyung too." chani sighed.

"i'll try my luck on you if this idiot of a lover doesn't come and make a move." jaeyoon laughed.

yes i have been dead, i apologize
