"Seokwoo-ah don't. He doesn't want to see you now" Juho replied while holding onto Seokwoo's arm.
"Why do I always get rejected by my own boyfriend?" the slightly younger boy replied, looking at his best friend with an irritated expression, feeling like everyone was staring at him.
"He's just not ready. He doesn't realize how lucky he is to be loved by you."
"Don't start with everyone would love to date you, please not you too Juho" Seokwoo sighed and started walking back to the classroom, the older following him.
"You know that it's true. Chanhee is the only one who'd rather live forever alone than to acknowledge that he loves you."
"It's scary, you don't understand. How would you feel if everyone would judge you because of the person you love? It's not easy for him and neither for me but you can't understand" Seokwoo sighed, turning around to go back to the classroom.
„Why? What happened to ‚We're best friends and we should always tell each other how we feel?' Seokwoo? I feel completely left out ever since you started dating Chanhee."
„I'm really sorry that I'm trying to be a good boyfriend."
„So in order to be a good boyfriend it's okay to be an asshole in front of your best friend?"
„Maybe you should finally get laid in order to not cling onto me like that. We aren't kids anymore" Seokwoo replied, seemingly annoyed by his best friend's behaviour while he was still looking for Chanhee.
„Seriously fuck you. I'm sick and tired of trying to make this friendship work while you only think of Chanhee, you don't even need me anymore" Juho accused him before storming down the hallway, not even caring about all the people staring and whispering.
He was done with Seokwoo and how hard he tried with the younger while completely ignoring his best friend, always talking about his boyfriend whenever it was only the two of them. Despite his own feelings he always listened to him and even gave him some suggestions while completely ignoring his own heart breaking bit by bit. He knew that he would never have a chance with Seokwoo but he never expected for him to yell at the younger like that but he had enough. He just couldn't pretend to be fine anymore and lie right in front of his best friend.
„Yah what's wrong? What happened?" Jaeyoon stopped the younger, curious as to why his usually calm friend looked so irritated and angry.
„Seokwoo. I never thought he would change so much after dating Chanhee."
„What exactly happened?" Inseong curiously asked, leaning his head onto Jaeyoon's shoulder as he was standing behind the younger.
„I'm just done with him trying so hard and only focusing on Chanhee. He's always talking about him and saying that I would never understand how he's feeling. Ever since Seokwoo confessed he treated me like I wouldn't really exist."
„He's just head over heels in love Juho-yah. He's still your best friend."
„He isn't, he doesn't care about me anymore. He doesn't realize how much he's hurting me by loving someone else" he blurted out, only realizing after seeing Jaeyoon's raised eyebrow and Inseong staring at him with wide eyes.
"Wait so you like Seokwoo?" Inseong asked confused and Juho felt his heart racing while panic was overcoming him, shaking his head while he suppressed the trembling of his legs.
"No I don't but he's hurting me by spending so much time with Chanhee. He's my best friend and he still should be there for me when I need him."
"You'll understand this when you start dating too. It's just so different when you have a boyfriend especially when he does need some more attention and extra care."
"Chanhee doesn't even want his attention" Juho huffed, making the elders chuckle a bit.
"Even if it doesn't seem like it Chanhee's a special needs kid." Jaeyoon replied making the younger shut down.
"You all don't understand" Juho huffed before leaving for his own classroom
making the older boys shake their head at his behavior.
"Why is everything so complicated?" Inseong mumbled while standing up straight and following Jaeyoon.
"I don't know but they'll sort everything out at least I hope so."
"Yeah if not we have a massive problem. I don't want to see them fighting over such matters" Inseong sighed, hoping that they won't continue fighting over small things.

I just can perfectly imagine jealous Juho.
