【四十二】 boy best friend ‣ ft. hwang hyunjin

"where are you going?"

dayoung had just pulled a jumper over her head when she heard haechan's voice. he stood in the doorway of her bedroom, leaning against the frame.

"the cafè," she replied, looking over her simple outfit in the body-length mirror in the corner.

"with who?" he asked.

"my best friend~!" dayoung said in a cheerful tone.

haechan blinked, "i didn't know we were going somewhere."

"..i'm going out with hyunjin."

rolling her eyes with a smile on her face, dayoung grabbed a pair of shoes on the rack next to the door and walked past haechan.

"why don't we go out instead?" he suggested.

"tomorrow," dayoung said.

"right now."

"tomorrow."

"right now."

dayoung sat on the floor, putting her shoes on and tied the laces.

"i can't cancel on hyunjin last minute, hyuck," she sighed.

"you can."

"well, i don't want to."

"i'll tell taeyong hyung you're going out with a boy," haechan threatened.

"okay," she shrugged and stood up before ruffling his hair and opening the front door. "see you later!"

after she grabbed her bag, she was out the door, leaving haechan to scrunch his nose in dissatisfaction. he inhaled deeply, his chest rising.

"TAEYONG HYUNG!"

the leader scratched his head in confusion, "i can't believe you convinced them to help you look for yin."

"we're not looking for her, we're looking out for her," renjun corrected.

haechan nodded in agreement. standing next to him was jungwoo, who just shrugged his shoulders. sicheng was also with them but was on taeyong's side.

sighing, sicheng crossed his arms over his chest, "they're just friends. you guys are overreacting."

"fine!" haechan said, turning his head and pointed his nose up. "renjun and i will watch over her while you guys stay here."

"say no more," jungwoo mumbled and walked away.

"just don't ruin their day."

and with that, taeyong and sicheng followed after jungwoo, leaving the two kids.

remembering where dayoung said she'd be, haechan and renjun were there in no time. when they stepped inside the cafè, they quickly ordered their drinks and found a seat remotely close to dayoung and hyunjin.

the boys noticed that they weren't alone; seungmin and felix were with them too. they watched as hyunjin, who sat beside dayoung, wrapped his arm around her and gave her a side hug.

"i already wanna go back home," haechan huffed.

"this was your idea," said renjun.

the younger sipped on his drink, sulking, "i know.." then he swung his feet above the ground, acting like a child ready to throw a tantrum. "i don't want him touching her!"

making it even worse, he saw dayoung ruffle hyunjin's hair as the group of four laughed at something.

"wanna go home?" haechan asked, mentally preparing to give her the silent treatment when she got back.

"please," renjun answered and stood up. "i'm so tired, i wanna sleep. i regret coming with you."

and so the two boys left the coffee shop in secret hopes that their favorite girl would arrive home a second after they did.

it wasn't until a couple hours later did dayoung return to the dorms with a smile on her face. haechan was on the sofa while jungwoo sat on the loveseat, surfing through channels for something to watch.

"i'm home~" dayoung sang, taking off her shoes.

jungwoo smiled and waved at her in a cute manner, "hi! how was your day?"

"it was good. did you guys do anything today?"

she put her bag on the table in front and took a seat next to haechan's legs since he was lying across the couch. jungwoo shook his head but the younger boy didn't answer. instead, he continued to stare at the television.

"donghyuck-ah," dayoung said, tapping his ankle to which he responded by moving away. "what's wrong?"

he mumbled something she couldn't quite make out and she tilted her head in confusion.

"what?"

childishly, haechan turned to her and frowned, "go check up on hyunjin instead."

dayoung rolled her eyes and lightly kicked his leg.

"he's a friend, hyuck. friend."

"friends aren't that touchy."

"we are."

"because we're best friends!" he exclaimed.

"i'll treat you to lunch," dayoung said.

"you're forgiven! how was your day? anything new?" haechan grinned, hugging her tightly.
