Friendzone

Three days passed and Jeonghan didn't came back home.
Seungcheol was not really worried since Minghao kept him informed of his well being, even if he didn't gave him every detail.
Details like Jeonghan looked tired, sad whenever he was alone with his head and completely distracted and out of his element.

Jihoon was with his boyfriend and Seungcheol out on an arcade.
The younger sitting on Soonyoung's lap not being able to take his eyes off his hyung.

"Cheol, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing. I'm gonna get us more drinks."

He went out of the arcade instead. Taking his phone out he dialed Jun's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Jun, you have Mingyu's number right?"

After the older hung up he went inside.

"Why do you need his number?" said a voice behind him.

"Fuck Minghao, you're everywhere!"

"Actually we've been here all the time! Jihoon invited us but we got distracted with the photobooth. Look at these pictures!!" said Jun.

"Hyung. Don't do anything you might regret." said Minghao patting Seungcheol's shoulder.

The next day Seungcheol got up early and took his car to Jeonghan's college.

He looked around, finding his way to where Mingyu told him he, Joshua, Jeonghan and other friends hang out.

When he arrived, Joshua was alone reading a book while drinking some juice.

Seungcheol walked to him and slammed his book against the table.

"Can I help you?" said Joshua with a bitter voice.

"Come with me."

After a while, they were at the backside of the campus, almost completely alone with the exception of five or six students walking around.

"I know what you did you fucking liar." Seungcheol spat.

"What do you mean?"

The older took the piece of paper and shoved it on the other's face.

"This! You told Jeonghan it was yours. It's mine asshole."

"Aish, so what? Stop wasting my time."

"Look. I know you mean a lot to him, so I need you to tell me that you really do love him."

"Or what? Or you're gonna confess to him and he'll magically go back to you?"  Joshua said with a laugh. "You already lost hyung. Stop trying so hard."

"You better fucking know what you're getting into. You don't want me to-"

"You're gonna hit me now? Do it! Let see if Jeonghan likes that."

Seungcheol took a deep breath trying to compose himself from the anger rising inside.

"If he ends up hurt-"

"I don't care. All I care is that he's like a puppet now, I have my personal-"

The younger couldn't finish his sentence. A powerful hit got him on the nose, sending him to the ground.
Seungcheol got him on feet again by his shirt before punching his stomach and then his face again, this time connecting with his mouth.
He was on top of Joshua before he knew it, and the punches kept going as naturally as breathing.

"What are you doing?!!"

He was pushed off Joshua and brought to reality when Jeonghan appeared.

Joshua was couching blood, staining the other's shirt while Seungcheol got up.

"We're leaving." he said taking Jeonghan's arm and pulling him up.

"No! Leave me alone Seungcheol. You've done it now. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"He's the problem here! Don't you see I'm trying to help you? He think's of you like a toy, like-"

"Okay stop! Stop it already..." he said, tears falling from his face.

Seungcheol panicked and walked over to dry the tears away, but Jeonghan just pushed his hand back.

"You have always been my bestest friend Seungcheol. Always. And I have supported you even if it was stupid." he said sniffling.
"All I wanted was for you to do the same. But I guess that's not gonna happen... You crossed the line here hyung."

"Jeonghan you have to beli-"

"I'll go pick my things up tomorrow. I'm moving in with him." he said while helping his boyfriend off the ground.
