Eyes Here

Surprise? (part 1)

It wasn't as if Jinhwan did anything wrong. Quite honestly he wasn't even sure why Jiwon was acting strangely towards him. He can't remember when it actually started but Jiwon would sometimes avoid him and walk away from him when he goes near. He also noticed that Hanbin started avoiding him just about a week ago. He tried to talk to both of them but they seemed eager to avoid him especially when he approached them. There was a longing feeling inside of him that was driving him mad.

Did he deserve such treatment from his dongsaengs? Probably... ONLY IF he did something to upset them. But as far as he can remember he was spoiling them like usual. They hung out, spent time with each other, and they even drank together. Did he say something when he was drunk? But that's impossible...

Jinhwan sighed before shaking his head. This is just going to tire himself out. So he pulled his blanket over his head and decided to just sleep through it.

Meanwhile everyone else was at a restaurant, eating.

"You gotta listen to the plan! You can't just shove food in your mouth!" Hanbin said, hitting Junhoe's shoulder.

"But the food is good!" Junhoe said, stuffing more into his mouth but Hanbin just closed his eyes before breathing in and breathing out. Reciting a mantra in his head asking for patience to deal with Junhoe.

"So... all this... "preparation" is for Jinhwan's birthday that's happening a week away?" Yunhyeong asked, making sure to quote the word preparation with his fingers.

"Yeah... that's the only reason we'd spend money on feeding you." Jiwon said, and the others raised their brows at them.

"So let's get this straight... all of this because you want to surprise Jinhwan-hyung right?" Donghyuk asked again.

Hanbin and Jiwon just groaned before nodding at them.

"But then, I don't really think you should be avoiding him. I mean... what good is a surprise party if your friends are avoiding you?" Yunhyeong asked.

"Hyung... You know we can't lie to Jinhwan-hyung. He'll catch us immediately." Hanbin confessed.

"I mean..." Yunhyeong started but halted when he realized what Hanbin said was right. Jinhwan could read the two like a book especially with the way they talk and their expressions. They're always an open book to Jinhwan but surprisingly it was only towards Jinhwan.

"If you'd actually tried maybe you wouldn't be as open to him." Chanwoo said grimacing at the two who didn't like what they heard.

"And what does that mean?" the two chorused before glancing at each other.

"Really? Do I need to say it out loud?" Chanwoo asked, widening his eyes as if those two were hiding a secret that nobody knew.

The rest stopped whatever they were doing to look at Chanwoo. It was brave of him to sacrifice himself at this time.

Truth be told, everyone knew about Hanbin and Jiwon's feelings for Jinhwan. Heck, they were sure that Jinhwan also knew. They weren't subtle about it and they never really hid it so everyone thought they were doing it on purpose.

Those times when they'd sacrifice themselves for Jinhwan's sake or when they compliment Jinhwan as if he's their entire universe(because let's face it, the world isn't big enough for those two idiots). They were never subtle in showing off their feelings. They often looked like love struck puppies towards Jinhwan-the master.

"I mean... everyone knows about it. It's not like it's a secret, right? And with how Jinhwan-hyung can read you two like an open book it's impossible that he doesnt know about your feelings." Chanwoo said, heading straight for the double kill.
