Chapter 13

| Wooyoung |

I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist, as I'm staring at myself in the mirror, the door opens.

"Admiring my work?" San asked, as he leans on the doorway. I quickly turn around and stare at him, in shock.

"G-get out..!" I yell out, as I throw a nearby plastic bottle at him. He simply dodged it and walks near me. I try to back away from him, but San grabs me by the waist and brings me closer, hugging me.

'..uhh..should I be worried? He's just hugging me..'

"You should take a shower.." I muttered, as I pull away from him. He nods and I walk out, giving him privacy.

'He's definitely not okay.' I thought, as I walk over to the bed and see clothes laid out. I quickly change and head to the kitchen as I make myself cereal, San comes out from the hallway and makes his way towards me.

"What do you wanna do today?" San asked, while grabbing a strawberry milk from the small fridge.

"Hmm, I don't know. You wanna just hangout at the park?" I said, eating my cereal.

"Yea sure." San answered. We continue doing our own thing, not engaging in anymore conversations.

I finish my cereal and get ready to leave, waiting for San to finish. San finishes and we head out the door, making our way to the park. As we were walking to the park, I feel San's hand brush against mine. I slightly blush from the contact, and try to give us some space.. key word try. Before I could give, said "space", San grabs my hand and continues walking. I stare at him for a moment and he turns his head towards me, giving me cheeky smile. I look away, not wanting him to see my flustered face.

"We're here." San said, pulling me towards the swings.

"Hey, slow down!" I shout out, as I giggle at San's childish behavior. 

We make it to the swings, and just settle down. I look at my phone and it read 11:00 pm, and I'm still getting messages from Yunho. I ignored them, and look at San just to find already staring at me.

"What..?" I asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, just looking at my work." San replied, eyes traveling downward to my neck.

"Oh shit! I forgot to cover them.." I yell out, silently crying to myself and while trying to cover the marks. San walks over and grabs my wrist, stopping me from covering up the marks. 

"Don't try to cover them." San said, staring into my eyes.

I nod and say nothing as I try to look away from him, I hear a familiar voice.

"What are you doing?" Seonghwa said, glaring harshly at San. We both look at Seonghwa and I pray for my life, as he stands there..fists and jaw clenched, glaring at San and I.

"Why are you here..? Shouldn't you be at school?" I asked.

"I should be asking the two of you that." Seonghwa replied, now directing his glare towards me. I see his eyes move down to my neck, and his expression falters to a hurt one. 'Well shit..damn you San' I thought to myself, before quickly walking up to Seonghwa.

"Wait, it's not what you think.." I said, grabbing onto Seonghwa's sleeve before he could leave.

"Oh really now? I can fucking tell those are hickeys, Wooyoung! You even had those the other day too!" Seonghwa shouts, yanking his sleeve out of my grip.

"Why are you acting like this? We aren't even dating!" I yell back, I feel a hand land on my shoulder and I turn to see San shaking his head. Seonghwa looks at him, and clenches his jaw when he sees the same marks on his neck.

"That's who've you been with this whole time..heh." Seonghwa said, chuckling softly. I can hear the pain in his voice, as he stands there, staring blankly at us. Before I could say anything, he walks away. I stare at his back, and watch him disappear into the distance.

"So, you and Seonghwa were never dating..?" San asked, staring at me.

I shake my head and said,

"No, we pretended to date. It was all an act." I said, blankly. San pulls me into his chest, softly rubbing my back.

"It'll get better, I promise." San said, muttering into my hair.

"I just don't get on why he's acting like we're actually dating." I said, into San's chest.

"It's simple, he has feelings for you." San states, holding me tighter.

I froze at what he said..'No..why Seonghwa? Why like me when you knew I like San.' I thought, I didn't realize my hold on San was getting tighter. 

"Hey, it's okay.." San said, unwrapping his arms from around me. I look at him, and just stare. San grabs both sides of my face, and leans his forehead against mine.  

"Let's head back now, Ok?" San asked, grabbing my hand and gently pulling me. I nod and just let him pull me.

| San |

'So..this whole dating thing was fake. But Seonghwa's feelings are real..but what are Wooyoung's feelings?' I thought. I look back at Wooyoung and see him blankly staring into the distance. I sigh and stop, he runs into my chest and looks at me. 

"Why'd you st-" I cut him off.

"I don't know what you're thinking about, but please stop..you're making me worry." Before I could continue on with my rambling, Wooyoung stops me,

"I like you. Ever since freshmen year." Wooyoung said, his face flushed. I stare at him, wide eyed not knowing what to say.

"It's fine if you don't like me back. I can always-" I cut him off, again by smashing my lips against his. Wooyoung kisses back, and I smile into the kiss. I feel him smile back and I pull away, I'm still smiling as I stare at him.

"Don't worry I like you too, I may even love you." I said, pecking his nose.

"Now let's get going." I state and start running back to the house.

"Hey! Wait up!" Wooyoung cries out, catching up to me. I laugh at him , and halt to a stop.

"Get on." I said, referring to my back.

"You sure..? I'm like..really heavy." Wooyoung replied, hesitant to get on my back.

"It's fine, why else do you think I work out?" I don't expect an answer out of him, and just wait. Wooyoung climbs onto my back, and I walk back to the little house.

\I'm crying. I feel so bad for Seonghwa, but I promise things will get better/
