Hear Me Out | DOYU

Chapter 1

The venue was beautiful, the summer sun was shining through the stained glass windows making the white chrysanthemums between the aisles become rainbow tinted. It was an ornate cathedral.  The light hit the altar and made the two men standing there look ethereal, they shone in silver and gold accented suits. They looked at each other like they were the only 2 people in the world and when they both uttered the words 'I do.

Yuta's heart broke.

The reception was in full swing. Winwin and Taeil had finished their first dance, it was elegant and lively and all the attendees were in awe. Well... all except one. He had attached himself to the open bar mulling over a glass of whisky.

He was Winwin's best man but he couldn't bring himself to be happy for his friends. This wedding was the final proof that Winwin would never return his feelings, Taeil was a lucky man. He had won, not that Winwin was a prize, but he had Winwin's heart.

Back when Winwin first asked Yuta to be his best man he thought it was some kind of cruel joke, he knew how he felt, he'd never been subtle about his affection. But as the wedding date got closer Yuta hoped more and more that it was a joke so he did have to accept the reality that all his feelings were completely unrequited.

"Hey."

Looking up from his whisky Yuta turned to see a dark haired man with a concerned look on his face.

"Oh. Hey Doyoung..."

He sat down next to him and rested a hand on his shoulder. "How are you holding up?"

Shrugging the younger mans hand off, he responded "Why do you care?"

Doyoung smirked grabbing hold of Yuta's whisky, "Well contrary to popular belief i happen to think of you as a friend."

"I don't want a friend." He was rather abrupt about not noticing he'd lost his drink.

"No of course." he took a sip of the stolen whisky. "You want a Winwin."

"Shut up."

Doyoung sighed "I've been there, you know."

"Really..."

Doyoung turned on his stool stopping in the direction of two men one with brown hair there other with bleached white, they were feeding each other hors d'oeuvres they got from the food table. "See those guys over there."

Yuta followed his gaze landing on the same to men looking at each other the same way Taeil and Winwin did at the altar. "You mean only couple that look just as happy as the grooms?"

It was like Doyoung didn't hear him speak, he kept his eyes on the couple Yuta noticed his features wince slightly, it looked like a hint of regret.

"Jaehyun and Taeyong, yes, I guess you haven't seen them in awhile. You know you get this weird feeling in your stomach when you see you're exes together."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about all your love triangle drama." Yuta said turning back to the bar.

Doyoung let out an awkward chuckle "I'm happy for them, though part me does wonder if they've bonded over how much of an ass I was."
