"Kevin, please..." "I'm trying." I decided to take drastic measures and grabbed him by his tie. "What-" "Shh." I started to undo his tie then loosened the buttons on his shirt. The dizziness had subsided, signaling his thoughts were calm. "Hak..."

I spread his legs apart with my knee as I leaned him back against the window and moved closer. "What is it, Kev?" I couldn't figure out what he was feeling. "What if someone walks by...?" "Let them watch. Right now it's just about me and you."

"Are you into me? Are you gay?" "And what about it?" I did feel something for him, but I swore on my future grave it's only brotherly. "Oh." I buttoned up his shirt then tied his tie. "Oh." "Kev, I need you to be honest with me." "Okay."

I placed my hands on either side then gave him a serious look. "Have the intellectuals invited you to do something recently?" "No." "Have they talked about anything to you in the group chat?" "Other than the usual tv and school gossip, no." He was clean.

"Why do you ask?" "Just making sure they aren't hurting you." "You really are weird. Asshole one moment and then doting the next." "Maybe if you behaved and keep your ego at bay." "Shut up." I gave him a smiled then pulled him off the window by his tie. "Make me."

He put his hands on my waist then got closer. "So this is what you're playing huh?" "I'm surprised that you haven't freaked out about how gay this is, Kev." In reality, I was freaking out on the inside. One would think I would be used to his close proximity.

"I'll join you today for the podcast, but I'll be somewhat late." "Then why come at all?" "Is it so wrong that I want to spend whatever time I can with my best friend?" He looked me up and down then smirked. "Yet what we're doing is beyond friendship."

I let go of him then escaped his hold. "Anyway...can you wait for me? What I need to do is very important. For the both of us." "Fine. They've been missing you anyway..." I gave him a smile then turned to pick up my bag. "Hey, Hak." "Yeah?" He placed a hand on my back.

"Let's not fight over small things anymore...I don't like seeing you upset nor do I like being angry with you." "We can't avoid all of them, but sure. Anything for you." His smile was warm like the sun. "Great." We stood in silence until my phone buzzed. "I'll see you later..."

I sat in front of my computer as I played chess online. I felt as if I couldn't move at all as no matter where I moved, a piece of mine would be captured. "Wait a minute..." I started to think ahead then made my move. Things started to fall into place.

"Hello!" I was startled and had almost made the wrong move. "Haknyeon!" "What?" "Forget it. Grab a seat. Did you read over the plan for today?" "Indeed. It's a bit dry. No wonder we lost fans." I hit his arm then turned off my monitor.

"Then why don't you try coming up with unique content for the selected days on your own?" He rubbed his neck as he sat down next to me. "Sorry..." "It was tough Hak..." "I'm sorry...I had so many things piling up." "Things meaning exposing students at school?"

He didn't reply as I turned the monitor back on. "That's what I thought." "Look, I'm just looking out for you." "Who told you to? I can take care of myself quite fine. I'm 17 for fucks sake Hak." He remained silent as I started the live. "Smile."

"How can I when you said something like that to me?" "I only stated the truth." "Then maybe I shouldn't even be here with you." "Hak, can't this wait? We're live." He stood up from his seat and stormed out of my room. I hurried after him and held him back.

"Where are you going? They're waiting for you." "You don't want me around, so why should I stay?" "That's not-" "Did you not say 'I can take care of myself quite fine' when I said I was looking out for you? Make up your mind!"

"Just because I said that doesn't mean I don't want you around!" He pried my hand off his arm then huffed. "Don't regret this later..." He pushed past me and headed back into my room. I couldn't understand why he was upset over something like this. I should be the upset person.

We waved to the camera then ended the broadcast. "Good job today Hak." He didn't say anything as he picked up his bag. "Are you still upset about earlier?" "See you." He then closed the door behind himself. "I understand him less and less as time goes on."

I checked over our account before logging out for the day. I felt a bit uneasy and decided to give him a call. He wouldn't answer me. I tried a few more times and received the same result. I looked out my window in hopes of catching a glimpse of him. He was already gone.
