The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

14 ✔️

"I've told you that they are already here" Chanhee replied as they entered the canteen and spotted all of their friends sitting together, the only ones missing were Juho and Seokwoo.
"Nope your boyfriend and his best friend are missing so you haven't won the bet either" Youngkyun replied, chuckling as the younger rolled his eyes.
"Let's get something to eat before I starve" Chanhee said, already walking towards the queue of students. 
"Alright. We don't want that to happen" the older replied while following him.
"Where is your boyfriend by the way?" he asked, noticing how Chanhee looked around the canteen trying to spot him.
"Since Juho is absent too I think they maybe talk about some best friend things. After all they've known each other the longest out of all of us."
"How long have they been friends?" Youngkyun curiously asked, still not knowing a lot about his new friends.
"7 years or something like that. Seokwoo doesn't really talk about it, I only know that they've been in middle school together."
"They really seem close."
"When I first met them they never went anywhere alone. When you were searching for Seokwoo you automatically knew where Juho hyung was."
"Does it bother you? That they are spending so much time together?" the older asked, curious since he already knew about Chanhee's fears.
"No not really. I know that they experienced a lot of things together and I don't want to get in the way of their friendship. Actually Juho helped me a lot after he found out that I like Seokwoo" Chanhee admitted, surprising Youngkyun even more. 
"Really? How?"
"He knows Seokwoo better than he himself does. He helped me figure out my feelings for him and then made me confess to him". 
"You confessed to Seokwoo? But you always run away from him."
"I just felt so frustrated because of my feelings until I realized that I like him. I'm still overwhelmed by all of this that's why I act so impulsively" Chanhee sighed, already being the next in line to receive his food.
"I can imagine it. The thought alone is scary" Youngkyun admitted and the younger could only nod, waiting for his friend to receive his food before walking over to the others.
"So if you ever need help with Taeyang hyung ask Juho" Chanhee snickered, quickly running off to the others as soon as he saw his annoyed expression.
"Yah Kang Chanhee you asshole" Youngkyun yelled after him while following him, noticing that the only unoccupied chair was beside Taeyang as soon as he reached the table.
"What's wrong?" Youngbin asked as he noticed his brother hesitating before sitting down.
"Nothing hyung" he mumbled as he quickly started eating, not even looking at the person sitting beside him once.
"Doesn't seem like it" Chanhee replied as he looked at him with an angelic smile.
"Asshole."
"Yah Youngkyun language" Youngbin reprimanded him immediately, making the other's chuckle at the brotherly behavior.
"Hyung he was teasing me first" his younger brother immediately tried to defend himself.
"It doesn't matter. Apologize" the older ordered.
"Fine I'm sorry Chanhee."
"I'm sorry for teasing you" the youngest replied, having way too much fun teasing his older friends.
"Just wait" Youngkyun warned him, the other's bursting out laughing at the young, adorable boy.
It wasn't taking long for Seokwoo and Juho to suddenly appear, sitting down on the table without saying anything at all.
"Is everything alright?" Inseong asked, having already noticed their glassy eyes and blushed cheeks.
"Yes everything's alright" both boys answered at the same time, Juho sitting down beside Inseong whereas Seokwoo took the free space besides Chanhee.
All of them knew that there was something off but they weren't going to ask any further, knowing that it was their business after all. The happy mood was immediately replaced by a gloomy silence, Inseong gently stroking Juho's hair as he rested his head on the older's shoulder. 
"You sure everything's fine?" Inseong whispered to him, not stopping to comfort the younger boy.
"No" he mumbled, hiding his face in the crook of the older's neck, trying to hide his tear-stained face.
"You want to talk about it?"
"Not now" Juho mumbled , not moving away from his oldest friend.
"Fine. We'll talk later, just the two of us."
"Thank you hyung" Juho  mumbled, ignoring all of the other people on the table as he still felt his own heart break more and more after seeing Seokwoo immediately going to Chanhee.

I feel so sad writing this and I really want to make more chapters including Zuwoon but I'm also soft for cuddly and clingy Juho especially when it comes to Inseong 🥺.
