❛dear my love, i have heard that you got a boyfriend now. i suppose that means the letters shall end here. as much as i would like you to be mine, it is clear your heart is from someone else, and that's okay. i enjoyed our time, i suppose you can say time. your beautiful, sweet smile always made me feel as if i might have a spaz attack. i am very happy for you as you found someone who will love you to pieces. i give you my best wishes for your relationship. good luck and be happy, jeongin.❜

and that was the end of the letter.
jeongin wasn't going to lie; he absolutely loved those letter—and the bubble gum. oh, don't get me started of the bubble gum. the bubble gum that jeongin absolutely fancied.

it wasn't a surprise. yang jeongin was the king of sweets (besides hitomi). these letters made jeongin's day—hell, even week. yes, he has hyunjin. of course he loves hyunjin. but, even before he realized his feelings for the older, jinjin made jeongin feel loved.

jinjin was everything was jeongin. but... that had to change. and it did change. hyunjin was everything to the maknae. hyunjin was jeongin's world. and it was the same for the elder. yang jeongin was his little ball of sunshine.

it was perfect.

almost too perfect for jeongin's comfort.

it was like all of this was planned out.

like it wasn't a coincidence. it was made to happen.

maybe they were soulmates.

either way, both jeongin and hyunjin were happy. ever since they met each other they couldn't stop smiling or thinking about each other.

they talked about each other non stop to their friends. and of course felix could handle but, but minho and seungmin could give a rat's ass about this yang jeongin hyunjin talked about 24/7.

but, today was a different story. jeongin felt sick; he felt like something bad was going to happen. but he didn't know what. he had a bad feeling and didn't feel like going to school.

but, he pushed himself, as always.

jeongin felt so... paranoid. he was jumpy. he couldn't focus. the funny thing was, he had no fucking idea what the hell was going on with him.

neither did his friends.

he was completely fine yesterday.

yerim came and sat next to jeongin. ❝hey, jeongin? are you okay?❞ the girl asked softly. the boy jumped and screamed a little, letting out his inner dolphin. ❝y-yerim! i-i'm fine, just... tired.❞ jeongin avoided eye contact.

this entire day, he has been ignoring his friends. he thought it would be best if he was alone. obviously many people didn't get that nor see it. yerim put her hand on his shoulder. ❝we're worried about you. you've been ignoring us all day today. i understand if you are going through something right now, and you can talk to mina or renjun or even me if you need to. we're here for you jeongin,❞

yerim looked closely at her friend. he looked pale.

❝thank you yeri, but i promise i'm fine. i didn't get much sleep last night. i'm just tired,❞
