The Vengeful Butterfly / X1

First tears

-Minhee, you're being paranoid-Hangyul rolled his eyes and sat on the bed next to Wooseok.

-I'm telling you, there's something strange about them,firstly on the day the secretary died and also today , I HEARD THEIR CONVERSATION!-Minhee tried to convince them.

-But they could've be talking about anything...we cant just accuse people of something that serious...-Wooseok replied.

-Yeah and we often hang out with them, they seem pretty normal to me-Hangyul added.

-Dont tell me you havent noticed anything suspicious at all?-

-Not really but I wasnt really focusing on that so maybe thats the explanation but if we-Dongpyo joined

-If we what? –Wooseok cut him off.

-You're in good relations with Seungyoun hyung, maybe you can see if there's a  change in his behavior-Dongpyo continued.

-I think this is ridicilous...-Eunsang commented from the kitchen.

-What I wanna say is...just observe, all of you and then we'll talk about this-Minhee said.

-Fine, fine, but dont act weird or anything...-Hangyul finally accepted Minhee's suggestion and the boy felt relieved coz he was convinced something's going on with their neighbours and he's determented to find out what.

Wooseok couldn't stop thinking about Minhee's words. He thought Minhee was exaggerating considering his spectar of imagination but still there was something that bothered him. He wanted to prove Minhee wrong so badly and decided to try and find out if there's any secrets that Seungyoun is hiding. These past weeks, they've been getting pretty close and it was no secret that Wooseok liked him. His friends already knew that and even Seungyoun knew but they were still just flirting around and spending time together whenever they could. So, it was no strange that Wooseok called Seungyoun to meet up at the lake and take a walk with him.

-You never actually told me how long have you been friends with your housemates?-Wooseok casually asked as they walked near the water.

-Ah...I've been friends with Seungwoo since we were kids and with the rest of the boys for like...um..few years...now i cant even imagine my life without those idiots and Seungwoo, we get along pretty well-he smiled.

- But you guys lived somewhere else before or?-

-Yeah but we decided to move up here because it was the best for all of us...i mean..college and stuff-Seungyoun said looking at him and Wooseok noticed a bit of loneliness in his eyes.

-But...what about your families, dont you miss them if they live far away?-Wooseok asked and Seungyeon narrowed his eyebrows which made Wooseok feeling guilty for asking so much questions.

-I miss them, but I visit them whenever I can-Seungyeon sighed deeply and Wooseok heard the sadness in his voice.

-What about their families?-

-Wooseok-ah, why are you so interested in my housemates's lives?-Seungyeon suddenly asked.

-What? No. I'm just...trying to find out more about you and your life..-he mumbled but the nervousness was taking over.

-You never talk about your family or friends either-Seungyoun replied with a calm voice.

-What are you talking about? It's me who always reveal stuff about myself and you always avoid the questions!-Wooseok didn't mean to sound mad but he couldn't hide it. He was aware that Minhee's suspicious were affecting him.

-That's not true, ask me anything and I'll answer it-Seungyoun's voice was still calm.

-What's the part of the city where you lived?-

Seungyoun bit his lip.

-How did you manage to live in the house next to ours?-

Seungyoun looked away.

-Why havent you asked me to be your boyfriend?-Wooseok's question surprised himself too but it was something that bothered him a lot and with that he felt happy with Seungyoun but also very sad at times.

Seungyoun faced his eyes but not able to look at him any longer, his eyes foucused on the ground. Wooseok didnt notice that Seungyouns hands were clunching in fists.

-I thought you liked me...-Wooseok continued with a sadness. Not only Seungyoun confirmed he had secrets about his past but also about them, he felt he was being played and his heart almost dropped.

-I DO!-Seungyoun lifted his eyes and there was fire in them but still he didn't get any closer to Wooseok and just stood in front of him, in a distance that was safe for both of them.

-Then? What? What if I ask you to be my boyfriend?-Wooseok knew he sounded desperate but he didnt care, he just wanted to touch and hug this boy in front of him.

-Wooseok-ah, please....don't ask me that...I don't wanna reject you...give me time...-Seungyoun's voice was silent but the hurt it gave to Wooseok was the strongest that he's ever experienced. His eyes filled with tears and he wanted to run away.

-You lied to me...you just ...lied..-his voice was shaken and he took a step back.

-No, wait...please..let's talk, okay?-Seungyoun tried to approach him but Wooseok lifted his hand and stopped him. One tear rolled over on his cheek.

-..just leave me alone-he said and Seungyoun tried to get closer to him but Wooseok turned around and ran. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to be far away from Seungyoun and the words he's heard. The pain he felt because of the rejection he got from the only boy he's ever liked, the only boy he's ever let close near him, he was running away from it but it still stayed there, hurting him even more.

Eunsang was sitting on their porch alone, waiting for his friends to come home as they all went out and left him at home. His thoughts suddenly shifted towards the situation that has happened earlier. What have I done? He told his friends that he was just messing around with Junho but they didn't seem convinced. Neither was he. He was avoiding to even think about him because everytime he did...he was feeling that sweet trembles in his stomach. He accepted the fact that he liked spending time with Junho, mostly when they were alone, because he could see the side of him that he doesnt see when they're with their friends. Junho in public was different than Junho with Eunsang. But he noticed Junho's cute and shy side when he challenged him in the cafeteria and even now it makes him laugh. What if he accepted the challenge? Eunsang's cheeks suddenly got red and he felt the heatness in his ears. No, no, no, dont even think about it. He liked teasing Junho as much as Junho liked teasing him. He likes talking with him because Junho was a good listener and he likes his weird jokes. But..he couldn't find the explanation about the feels Junho's presence give him. Is this...love? Because...his eyes always look for Junho's , the last person on his mind is the boy brown ruffled hair...t

The text message he receieved interrupted him from his thoughts.

''About that movie night you owe me...tonight? Let's see if we can do something about that challenge from today'' J
