Jinhwan's POV

I can't believe I was doing it.
Jiwon texted me two minutes ago that he and Hanbin are on their way to pick me up to the party.

I argued with Jiwon that I wasn't invited to the party but he insisted it's going to be okay because I'll be with him.
Chanwoo also invited Yunhyeong and they were getting a ride with Donghyuk since we all can't get into one car.

I already let my mom know I'll probably be late or sleep over at one of their houses, and now I was waiting for a text from Jiwon.

I sighed, taking another look in the mirror for the hundredth time probably. I should stop. I look fine.
But I was so afraid of tonight. What Junhoe's reaction will be once he sees me? I didn't show up to his previous party and he was kind of ignoring me since.

I did like the peace I got, but now I couldn't help but think if I actually hurt him or if he actually gave up on trying to convince me.

Wait, why do I even care if he's hurt because of me?
He hurt me so much in those 3 years. I'm giving him this damn chance only because my best friend is god damn stubborn.

I jumped as I heard my phone, Jiwon texted me they're waiting downstairs. I took a deep breath, getting out of my room.

"Hey, Jay." Jiwon smiled at me as I got inside the back seat of the car.

"Hey Jiwon, Hanbin." I greeted them, "thanks for picking me up."

"Thanks for agreeing to come." Hanbin said, looking at me through the front mirror before continuing the drive to Junhoe's place.

"Well, Jiwon wasn't giving me too many choices."

Hanbin chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm sure Junhoe will be happy to see you. He was so down lately... honestly, I'm starting to get worried..."

"Feeling down?" I asked, frowning. "Why?"

"He doesn't tell us. But I can assume one of the reasons is that you didn't show up."

"And the other?"

"I... can't say."

"Hanbin... How can you be sure Junhoe actually cares for me and he does not simply want to use me?" I decided to ask.

"Because he's my best friend ever since we were in the 7th grade. We tell each other everything. And trust me when I say he cares about you."

"You sure?"

"Yes, Jinhwan. I know it's difficult for you to trust him, but please put your trust issues aside just for tonight and actually get to know him. I promise you he's a good guy beneath all this act of his."

I sighed deeply.

"Don't worry, Donghyuk and I already planned how to beat his ass if he dares to hurt you tonight." Jiwon promised me.

"You guys are the best and I would hug you right now if I could." I said, leaning my head against Jiwon's seat. "But I don't want to make Hanbin jealous."

Hanbin laughed at that. "Don't worry, I already got used to your clinginess toward Jiwon."

I couldn't help but smile. Hanbin really wasn't a bad guy. And I guess I can see why Jiwon likes him. He deserves someone who'll be nice to him and understand him instead of jumping into conclusions and get all mad because of a misunderstanding.
