"hold on, your brother's coming? that's awesome!" minhyuk's voice resonates the room as hoseok nodded enthusiastically.

"why didn't you tell us earlier? we could've prepared something for him" jooheon pouts as he joined in the hugging session between hoseok, changkyun and minhyuk. hyungwon smiled as his dear friends laughed and giggled in their own world. of course, his gaze would always fall on hoseok as usual, the most handsome one, to hyungwon that is.

hyungwon felt like as if he's underwater, unable to breathe as the older was always so mesmerising, breathtaking.

"i haven't seen him for ages since he started his career as a food nutritionist!" hoseok clapped excitedly. the thought of meeting his crush's dear brother again was so nerve-racking. but the thought of meeting the family of a crush was even more gut-wrenching for hyungwon. "uhh, when will he be coming?" hyungwon asked softly. he was feeling extremely weak recently, especially today. his throat was so sore to the point that it'll be best if he didn't talk at all. his lungs felt tight as if there was a root, holding his flesh tightly.

"probably around another 5 minutes or—"

"hoseok!" a rather familiar voice called out from behind the group of university boys.

kihyun?  hyungwon thought, and hell yea, it was the guy from the party. but, why is he here?

don't tell me...

"big bro! you're here!" hoseok's ears perked up, his eyes shone like bright pearls as he immediately dashed as fast as he could to his older brother, kihyun

this was when the raven-haired boy named chae hyungwon wanted to die and vanish, right that instant. figuratively of course. who would have thought that the guy who tried to 'hit him up' was his crush's brother? definitely not hyungwon.

"let me introduce you to my friends!" the excited hoseok was hopping around with his arms wrapped around his brother. "this is changkyun, minhyuk, jooheon and—"

"hyungwon?" kihyun sounded. fuck.

"uhh hey kihyun.." hyungwon nervously laughed, his head facing sideways, obviously avoiding face-to-face contact. fuck my life fuck my life fuck my life fuck my life fuck

"oh, you know both know each other?" changkyun arched his eyebrow. changkyun actually knows most of the people that hyungwon does, one way or another but the fact that hyungwon knew kihyun was a little weird.

"yea! we met a couple of days ago.." kihyun brightly states. i beg you, please don't say it..!  hyungwon was visibly sweating, his heart pounding incredibly hard and fast. "...at an ice-cream parlour!" kihyun finishes his statement as he chuckles, acting as if he was missing the memories where they first met. hyungwon let out a deep breath of anxiousness, glad that party guy didn't screw things up for him.

minhyuk then begin to laugh aloud as he swung his arms around jooheon's shoulder. "who knew that our hoseok has such a handsome brother! unbelievable!"

"it's genes, minhyuk. it's the genes" hoseok proudly says as he swept his hair narcissistically.

"hey kihyun, can we talk for a while?" the raven-haired boy asked, facing the good-looking man in front of him. hoseok's face darkened as his brother and hyungwon made their way to somewhere else more private. what on earth are they hiding from me? hoseok frowned.

"why didn't you tell me that hoseok is your brother?!" the younger whisper-yelled while shaking kihyun by his shoulder, still not processing the new information.

"alright calm down you're ruining my hair." the older shrugged the boy's hands off and adjusted his messed up suit. "first things first, i didn't know that you're from this university. secondly, why the hell would i tell you that i have a sibling? and thirdly, how the fuck am i supposed to know that you're friends with hoseok?" kihyun huffed.

"tch, fair enough." hyungwon sighed. "hey hey hey, what's with that tch? show me some respect you brat!" kihyun swung his arm over hyungwon's neck and pulled his ear.

"uhh what are you two doing?" hoseok suddenly spoke from nowhere. hyungwon instantly pushed kihyun away with all his might and straightened his posture in panic, "n-nothing! don't worry about it, haha" hyungwon fingers-crossed, wishing that hoseok woudn't question anything else.

"okay? uhm i'll be waiting at the cafeteria with the rest." hoseok smiled as he exited the scene.

hyungwon cried out his desperation as soon as his crush left, crouching down and covering his face, leaving him with muffled noises. "based on how you acted when hoseok came over, you like him don't you?" kihyun spoke with no trace of doubt in his voice.

cough- cough- cough-

"hey are you okay?" kihyun asked, concerned.

cough- cough- cough- cough-

bloody petals began to overflow from hyungwon's hands, dropping on the floor.

"you're coughing too much. calm down."

cough- cough- cough-

ah, fuck...

hyungwon's world turned black.
