Jun didn't know how long he'd stayed at the park, but eventually, he started walking back home, the pain in his chest following him still, thoughts of Minghao and that girl filling his mind. He'd never wanted this to happen, could he just fall out of love? He knew this just wouldn't end well for him.
He was brought back to reality when his phone buzzed.
[minghao🌻]
hey, u okay?
He contemplated wether lying to his friend was a good choice, Minghao would always know when Jun wasn't being sincere, but he decided to lie anyway.
[junhoe🥕]
yeah
He knew Minghao wouldn't believe him, but he didn't care anyway.
[minghao🌻]
I'm coming over
Before Jun could say anything else, Minghao was offline, probably on his way to the older's house. Jun was just arriving at his doorstep when he saw his best friend running towards him.
"Hey!"
He said cheerfully, as always, Jun forcing a smile.
"Hi"
Jun answered opening his front door, Minghao frowning at him. The younger knew better than to push Jun though, so he stayed silent, the both of them going up to Jun's room.
They sat next to each other on the floor, painfully uncomfortable silence filling the room.
"Why did you leave early?"
Minghao finally said, making eye contact with his friend. Jun didn't dare to look the other in the eye, he just stared at his hands.
"Wasn't feeling well"
It was a lame excuse, and Minghao wouldn't buy it, but he wanted to forget everything as quickly as possible.
Minghao wasn't having it.
"Lies"
The younger stated, scooting closer to Jun. He placed a hand on the older's thigh.
"You can tell me"
He smiled reassuringly, Jun still not looking up. Jun really didn't want to talk about it, and he tried his best not to snap at his friend as he started to speak.
"Nothing, it's just... You're spending a lot of time with... Her"
Jun muttered, biting his nails. Minghao sighed, suddenly wrapping his hands around Jun's torso.
"I'm sorry"
Minghao whispered, hugging Jun tight. The older really hoped Minghao couldn't hear his heart beating intensely inside his chest.
Minghao wanted to tell Jun how he wasn't really sure he liked Min. How he was dating her because he felt like he had to. How he felt like he was betraying his true self, even though he didn't know how or why. But instead he just kept hugging Jun, taking in the scent of his hair.
