ghostly | sanggyun, yongguk (jbj)

[xviii] manipulation

yongguk's spent more and more of his time with hyunbin. the two hadn't labelled their relationship, but it was obvious that they had something going on that put them further than 'just friends'.

he hadn't talked to kenta in two weeks, since their fight. every time he'd see the japanese boy around campus, he'd smirk smugly and snuggle closer to hyunbin - who was always by his side.

sanggyun had started becoming more and more of a distant memory.  yongguk slept more and more and thought of the boy less and less, so he wasn't around as often as he was before.

one day, yongguk was walking home after hanging out at the ice-cream parlour with hyunbin, when he heard someone call out to him. "yongguk! kim yongguk!"

"for fuck's sake," yongguk muttered under his breath. he turned to see kenta running towards him.

"yongguk," kenta panted, taking a moment to catch his breath.

"what do you want?" the said boy scoffed. "i don't have much time."

"look, i know you fucked up and none of us want to talk to each other," he clarified, "but this is about sanggyun. i... last night, i was tucking myself into my bed when i saw his red eyes, glowing and glaring at me. i know i sound crazy but when i sat up and squinted at him, his voice cackled and he said something about you having to pay back for your evil. when i scram and turned my bed lamp on, that fucking weirdo wasn't there! it was the creepiest thing ever!"

"still trying to guilt trip me?" yongguk rolled his eyes, checking his watch. "your words are childish. firstly, sanggyun hyung can't even come down to this realm when i sleep. even if he could, he can't get out of my house. second, you're obviously just pissed off because i've gotten more dick than you have in the last couple years."

"are you really going to be this immature?" kenta scoffed, rolling his eyes. "yongguk, i'm trying to protect - no, to warn you about what-"

"listen, takada kenta," he smirked. "you, for one, are lonely. your jealousy is way too obvious, and it's really fucking unattractive. i don't care about your little plans, but they won't get to me. you're worthless, hopeless, and in my opinion, you should just go back to your little patriotic home country and sit your ass there because if i weren't here to accept you into korea, then you would never have belonged - not that you do, right now. do everyone a favour and get lost."

he turned without another word, leaving kenta speechless. the fury bubbling in the pit of his stomach made him clench his fists.
