"you think it's my heart you're holding."

♡

"jaemin, for fuck's sake, stop crying, even for a while." donghyuck took a deep breath. he was having a hard time in making his friend stop crying.

they were currently inside the club's meeting room. classes ended a few minutes ago, and donghyuck didn't waste a minute in dragging his two friends here—even if chenle was a year below him.

he dragged a chair and sat in front of he crying male. "jaemin, stop crying, okay?" he sighed. "look, i'm sorry if you had to go through these, but we all know that you're stronger than this. the na jaemin i know won't let a single heartbreak ruin him."

and mark could only watch him from the side. he watched donghyuck console his brokenhearted bestfriend, like what he did when donghyuck first came to him.

he could only smile when he saw his sunshine scolding his bestfriend—wait, what sunshine?

he shook his head in disbelief.

"jaem, remember when you used to snap at a lot of students when they were spreading rumors about all of us?" donghyuck asked, and jaemin finally responded.

the taller male wiped his tears away and looked at his friend in front of him. he nodded, "y-yeah..."

"where's that na jaemin? i wanna see him again." donghyuck smiled, ruffling jaemin's hair.

"h-he's still here... j-just brokenhearted..." jaemin said, chuckling a little.

"you can cry, but you can't stay brokenhearted forever." donghyuck stood up and left jaemin for a while when he saw two of mark's friends approaching the other.

he smiled, feeling satisfied, because he made his best friend stop crying.

he sat in front of mark, who was chilling in front of the air conditioner.

"what an improvement, i'm proud." mark said, nudging donghyuck.

the younger rolled his eyes playfully as he chuckled, "i learned from the best." from afar, the two of them looked at jaemin, who was currently talking to renjun and jeno, and chenle, who was now laughing with jisung.

"you're lying! there's no way he died just to save her!" chenle gasped at what jisung told him.

jisung laughed, "but it's true!"

"why though? the guy is dying, too. why did he sacrifice himself for someone who doesn't even remember everything?" chenle asked, he was really curious at the story jisung is telling him.

"because chenle..." jisung paused and looked at chenle in the eyes. "love is selfless. it's not love if it doesn't involve a lot of pain and sacrifices." he smiled softly.

chenle could only respond by looking at the younger. he doesn't like sad endings. he never did. but he's wondering why he had the guts to listen to jisung's story.

"but that's not it!!" chenle stomped his foot, he was totally not having jisung's explanation.

and jisung won't be tired of explaing and waiting for chenle to realize what love is. he'll be patient. this boy in front of him is too cute to ignore, and he's ready to throw his fists at the person who broke this cute dolphin.

"well that's love, chenle... you have to get hurt one way or another." jisung said.

chenle doesn't know if the younger was implying anything. he sounded hurt, but chenle is the brokenhearted one here.

unlike donghyuck and mark, same with jeno, renjun and jaemin, chenle and jisung had known each other since the first year of high school. when chenle transferred to korea.

they have been friends and classmates for a long time, and their chemistry might have clicked to they schoolmates, always mistaking them as a couple.

little did they know that jisung also wished the same. jisung wished that they were a couple. if they were, jisung's surely give the other lots of love. he would always cherish him, love him, and protect him at all costs— simple things that chenle's ex couldn't even do.

the people wasn't actually cool with the idea of chenle dating someone from another school. they knew who the boyfriend is, and he's pretty known for being a playboy—a well-known bastard.

that's why when jisung knew that chenle and his boyfriend broke up, he was determined to not let this chance go.

he's determined to make chenle his, no matter what it takes.

"i know... and i also learned that if you love someone, just love him... don't fall in love deeply." he sighed. "because once you fall too deep, you might not be able to save yourself."

jisung nodded, feeling proud of the older. it hasn't been an hour yet, but he feels like all his hard work will pay off in the end.

"just give that person enough love. leave the rest to yourself." jisung said.

"i hate the fact that i still miss him even though he treated me like shit." chenle sighed. "but anyways, i'm not stupid anymore."

"hm?"

chenle looked at the younger. "i won't accept him. even if he comes back."
