Junhee had gone to the library to look for the book he was assigned in Korean class to do a book report on. He ran his index finger along the books looking for it, he stopped grabbing a book out reading the back seeing if it was the right one. He sighed putting it back, where the heck is that book? Junhee wondered furrowing his eyebrows. He looked to his side and saw Donghun looking at the 'Learn English' books. He shuffled over tapping his shoulder. "Donghun, can we talk?" Junhee asked just like he did two weeks ago.

"There's nothing to talk about. You hate me and I accept that," Donghun said turning around his back facing Junhee and started walking away. Junhee followed him.

"I want to apologize, I want to give you a sincere apology, Donghun, please," Junhee begged. Donghun turned down another aisle ignoring Junhee. Junhee let out a frustrated groan and pulled Donghun back, pinning him to the bookshelf. "Donghun, please," Junhee begged once more. Donghun's eyes were dark and icy, Junhee visibly shivered, causing Donghun to smirk for a split second.

"Fine. But only if I can ask you some things and you answer truthfully."

"Fine. But then I get to ask you some things and you answer them truthfully."

"Fine. You can let go of me now," Junhee let go of Donghun and moved back a bit so Donghun wasn't pressed against the shelf.

"Listen, Donghun," Junhee sighed.

"I'm listening," Donghun raised his newly pierced eyebrow.

"I'm sorry for what I said. I don't hate you as much as I made it out to be. I still think you're the devil himself but that's not the point. The devil was once an angel too, he was God's right-hand man but then he did something God didn't like so he sent him to hell to rule it-"

"What are you getting at?" Donghun furrowed his eyebrows.

"That wasn't supposed to be a part of my apology but it's just saying the devil wasn't always bad and I had compared you to the devil so- never mind. I'm sorry for what I said, I shouldn't have lied to you and told you I hate everything you do when that's not true. I don't mind it when you call me baby or baby boy, I don't mind it when you're driving and you put your hand on my thigh, I really don't, Donghun," Junhee paused, looking for any sign of emotion on Donghun's face or in his eyes. "But you're so confusing and frustrating, one moment you're clingy and lovey and the next you act cold and mean. But, you were right, about all the things I feel. I lied and turned it negative. Everything you do makes me feel tingly all over." Junhee finished.

"Okay. Now it's time I ask some questions. What happened to your eye and why did you go to the nurse?"

"I ran into the wall and ended up falling down my stairs after, causing me to get a concussion," Junhee lied, Donghun threw his hands up in the air.

"Fuck you, that's a fucking lie, Junhee. I thought we were going to be truthful with each other. Was everything you said in your apology a lie too? Huh? Goddamnit Junhee, I asked you because I already know what happened, I wanted to know if you were going to lie," Donghun whispered angrily. He shoved past Junhee and walked off, Junhee went after him, he grabbed his arm and Donghun shook it off. "Fuck off, Junhee. I don't want to see you anymore, you might think I have no feelings or lack them but guess what? I have them, they control my life and you doing this hurts, so just leave me the fuck alone!" Donghun yelled causing Junhee to flinch.

"Well, what do you want from me?!" Junhee yelled back.

"What do I want? I want the truth, I want to know how you actually feel because it's killing me, Park Junhee. I don't want you to say what you think I want to hear, I don't want you to say what your family wants you to say, I want you to say how you actually feel," Donghun replied, getting closer to Junhee. Junhee could feel Donghun's breath on his skin, he felt shivers go down his spine, he was so close, Junhee looked down at the ground.
