The Vengeful Butterfly / X1

Knock Knock

It was a warm Saturday night when Eunsang heard someone knocking on their door. He knew it was Junho coz he always knocks three times and Eunsang already remembered the annoying sound of it. His friends were already out, so he had time to think about this supposed 'friendly hang out' with his strange neighbour. He hasnt told to his housemates about it because he was afraid of being teased or maybe stood up by Junho which wouldnt surprise him so he rather kept it as a secret. He opened the door and saw Junho standing, wearing light blue jeans and a white sweater, his hair was ruffled from the autmun's wind and it made Eunsang bit his lips to hide the smile. He noticed Junho checking him out and almost made Eunsang roll his eyes coz the other boy never actually hid when he was doing that.

-Ready?-Junho finally asked.

-Yeah,-they walked towards the cab waiting for them-where are we going?-

-There's one coffee shop which I like the most, its quiet but not too quiet, they play nice music and have a  really good food. Is that okay?-Junho glanced at Eunsang waiting for a reply.

-Fine by me-Eunsang smiled brightly and noticed Junho stiffed a little which confused him.

They arrived at the caffe and Eunsang really liked the interrior of it. There were a few book shelves, wodden tables with comfortable armchairs, the walls were made out of briks filled with pictures of famous artists and the dimming lights made him feel warm and relaxed. They sat one across the other in the corner of the caffe which was a bit further than the rest of tables. Junho recommended drinks and food which he prefered the most and Eunsang decided to try it .

-So...-Eunsang cleared his voice not wanting Junho to notice his nervousness-what now?

-Now I want to know more about you-Junho said and Eunsang wondered how this guy simply spill whatever he wants to say.

-What do you wanna know?-

-Tell me something about yourself, what do you like to do and stuff like that-Junho suggested not looking away from Eunsang's eyes.

Eunsang started talking about his hobbies, about the movies he likes to watch with his friends and made him promise he will watch some of them. The food has arrived and Eunsang continued talking about the funny situations he had with his friends ever since they became close in high school, he felt really comfortable now because he thought it was nice that Junho carefully listened whatever Eunsang had to say, Junho often nodded which meant he was into story Eunsang was talking about and laughed whenever Eunsang laughed. They sat there, casually talking for hour an a half, mostly Eunsang sharing whatever came across his mind because he noticed Junho likes to ask questions more and less talk about himself which was fine by Eunsang coz he understood some people need more time to open.

-What about your childhood?-Junho interrupted.

-What about it?-Eunsang took the last bite of his food.

-Any fun memories?-Junho asked still focused on Eunsang and not his food.

-It was...just a regular childhood...my sister went to study abroad when i got into high school and my mother became my biggest support. She really is a great person, you might meet her one day coz she sometimes comes to our house and cook us food, usually screams at Hangyul and Minhee coz their room is always in a mess- he continued laughing -But they all love her, because she often helps us if we get into problems, she even helped us to set a blind date for Wooseok which went horribly! Can you imagine Wooseok's reaction once he found out it was our masterplan- he burst into laughing talking about it but then he saw Junho's face. Junho looked at Eunsang with a sudden cold and almost mad face expression which made Eunsang confused. Did I say something wrong? He waitied for Junho to say something because just looking at him made Eunsang uncomofortable.

-I'll go pay the bill-Junho suddenly got up and went to find the waiter. Eunsang's eyes followed Junho, thinking about the past few minutes, if he did or said anything that could've explained Junho's reaction. Junho didn't even came to call Eunsang to go, instead he stopped at the door and raised his hand a bit, showing Eunsang to follow him.

-What's wrong?-Eunsang broke the silence once they got into a cab. Junho coldly stared at the window and replied-Nothing-

-Did I do something?-

-You did nothing. -

-Why you sound mad?-

-You haven't seen me mad Eunsang, trust me-Eunsang felt the irony in Junho's voice and was irritated by it.

They got out of the car and Junho started walking towards his house leaving Eunsang standing on the street.

-You know what?! You're an idiot! I can't keep with your mood changes without giving an explanation! I really don't care what you do, but dont ask me to be your friend if youre gonna act like this!!!-Eunsang started yelling, feeling used again for believing Junho and his dumb suggestions.

Junho turned around and looked at Eunsang - Friends?! Like I would ever want that!-he screamed back.

-What the hell does that mean? Last night, you sai-

-Eunsang,im sorry, i have to go, good night-Junho heavily sighed and walked away.

-Yooo, how was it?-Yohan asked once he saw Junho passing by the living room. He got no response and just looked at Seungwoo with a questioning look. Seungwoo, worried,whispered he should go talk to him and Yohan went upstairs. He entered the room and found Junho sitting on his bed, deeply in his thoughts.

-What happened?-Yohan carefully asked.

-I can't do this-Junho replied and covered his face.

-Junho, tell me-Yohan sat next him,placing one hand on his shoulder.

-He said Im an idiot and I know I am...but...I couldnt control myself...its just...so hard....just when i was about to find out more about mr.Lee, he mentioned his mother...his eyes were full of love while talking about her, he talked how much she means to him, about the memories with her and i just wanted him to stop...i didnt want to hear about it, he has everything that ive lost and looked so happy...i hate it...-Junho's eyes were mixed with sadness and anger-You understand me, Yohan...-he turned to face his friend who gently patted his shoulder.

-Junho...you do know it wasn't Eunsang's fault , right?-

-I know Yohan, I know...but-

-No but, you're not a bad person Junho, stop acting like one towards him just because it's his father. He has no idea about what happened, so stop blaming him because he's living the life that was meant for him. You said you can do this, you can get close to him and now what? Its safer if you stay away then, we already started working and we kicked out the first one from the list, i dont want you in the situation where you could reveal something if you get angry-Yohan said calmly and Junho knew it'd be the best to just listen to him and not get close to Eunsang anymore.

-Don't say anything about this to Seungwoo-Junho silently begged-I'll see what Im gonna do-

-Fine dumbass, but dont make any mess around again-Yohan said jokingly.

-Look who's telling me-Junho slightly pushed him smiling a bit.

-But, tell me, how was your hang out beside that part?-

-It was...okay-Junho replied and got up from the bed.

-Okay? You mean boring?-

-NO!-Junho's reaction surprised not just Yohan but Junho himself-I mean...it was okay, not so boring as thought, he's fine..i mean he talks a lot which is interesting...not that i care but he seems like a normal guy...i mean...whatever Yohan,leave me alone,why are you asking me all these questions?! Go to sleep!-Junho picked up his towel and rushed to the bathroom leaving Yohan rolling on the floor laughing.
