his fake boyfriend ➸ hyunin

nineteen

jeongin had been staring at the mirror for ages now, he was biting his lower lip as he glanced back to the newly bought hair dye he had with him.

"so you're really doing this again, just cause your hair reminds him of his ex?" woojin asked, as he leaned on the doorframe as jeongin nodded slowly.

"i- i just think that he's only nice to me because i s-somehow remind him of seungmin." jeongin said shyly, feeling nervous under the scrutinizing stare of his hyung.

jeongin truly wanted to believe mrs. hwang's words that hyunjin is moving on, jeongin really wanted to believe that hyunjin is really getting jealous over the boys around him for touching 'his innie', jeongin really wanted to believe the sweet nothings and sweet gestures hyunjin had told and did for him.

he wanted to believe it all.

but everytime he stares at his phone, the reminder that this was all pretend hits him hard every night.

that what they have isn't real.

that what they have is a stunt.

a cover up.

a lie.

their contract was almost up, the wedding is in two weeks, after that they're supposedly over.

jeongin gets his money and hyunjin goes back trying to fool himself that he had moved on from kim seungmin when everyone knows that he has not.

it would've been easy for jeongin sure. he's done this before, it was his job for crying out loud.

but never had he have a boyfriend that actually treated him the way hyunjin does between close doors.

never had he have a boyfriend that looked so genuine everytime they were with one another.

never had he have a boyfriend that he actually liked.

he's been wanting hwang hyunjin eversince he laid eyes on the older back in sophomore year.

now that he had him acquiring his services jeongin felt ecstatic.

he got near him.

got to know him.

he got the full hwang hyunjin experience.

the hugs, kisses, pet names, and the dates, you name it.

all that was missing was authenticity.

sure, jeongin knew it was all acting to cover up the fact that hyunjin's crush is gonna swing by and he had to make it look like all is left in the past.

but that wasn't gonna stop jeongin's feelings from developing.

he had fallen for the older, it wasn't just a crush anymore.

he wanted more than be his fake boyfriend.

he wanted to be the boyfriend.

the boyfriend hyunjin loved.

but all he's heard from the older is seungmin this and seungmin that.

seungmin.
seungmin.
seungmin.

it's like listening to a broken record, it was fine at first but now it's just annoying.

especially when they were having a cute moment on the ferriswheel and he just so had to bring that name up.

to jeongin, it felt like everytime that eight letter name gets brought up someone just buries a knife deeper into his chest.

"i-it's always oh we're walking home cause seungmin and i used to do this, we gonna do this cause seungmin is all that, and when i mention that name he snaps. l-like he can remind himself of the pain but when others do it its like they killed kami or something." jeongin sighed and woojin's gaze softened.
