The Vengeful Butterfly / X1

Together

After Yunseong dragged out Minhee outisde, everyone casually continued with what they were doing before he appeared on the door and it was weird because no one questioned how Minhee and Yunseong knew each other. Eunsang only noticed Hyeongjun dosing off the window with a blank expression.

Since everyone was busy, Eunsang decided to go back to his room because his energy was somehow drained out. Then something clicked. Junho knows. Oh my God!

Eunsang remembered the day Minhee kissed him. He was totally caught of guard and their kiss had no emotions, it was just a peck but Eunsang was ready to ask for an explanation. But then, Minhee whispered to him that the person who broke his heart was Yunseong, who stood with the boys in front of the club, and begged Eunsang to do him a favor and just go along with it just for that night. Eunsang didn't feel right after facing Junho's disappointed stare but Minhee looked so desparate so he accepted to keep silent.

After he met with Junho at the park, he was mad at himself for still having feelings for Junho and made a mistake by spitting out he has a boyfriend. Now, it was time for Minhee to return a favor by pretending they're in a relationship and the boy agreed because he found it hilarious when Junho looked mad at him.

It seems like something exploded in his head when he realized that Junho found out about this and is using Yohan to make him jealous. Not a single person wondered about Minhee and Yunseong and that could only mean one thing. They all know and everyone is keeping quite about what's going on.

So, Eunsang made another decision. He can't lose in this game. His plan is to let Junho do whatever he wanted and to keep pretending that Minhee is his boyfriend. If Junho wanted to play, thats how it's gonna be.

Seungwoo was preparing the fireplace with Hangyul as the younger ones were in kitchen or in their bedrooms.

-They hooked up too?-Hangyul asked, pointing at Yohan and Junho in the kitchen.

Seungwoo looked and them and smiled-Well, if Minhee and Eunsang are a couple for real then Yohan and Junho are too-

-So...is that a no?-

Seungwoo noticed a strange, maybe careful tone that Hangyul used but shook it off, not giving a much thought-Yeah but be quite, it'll be interesting in the next few days, I bet-he laughed at the boy who was still staring at Yohan and Junho.

-It's a mess in Seoul right now, it's good that we came here-he continued.

-Never had a chance to tell you, but thank you for protecting my friends too by bringing them here-Hangyul softly said.

-When we started this, we were just a teenagers and through time we became close so much that, now I'd give my life for any of them-Seungwoo replied, looking at the boys goofing around-and I consider all of you as part of our group so...I'll do my best to protect everyone-he shifted his eyes on Hangyul again.

Hangyul gave him a warm smile-You're not alone now, you know? Whenever there's a problem, you should share it with others, we are together in this now-

-I know...thank you...-Seungwoo felt grateful for these words and really appreciated everyone's help because this could've taken a wrong turn if they didn't join. He lost a close family member but got another 10 siblings in return. And he realized he is not alone as he thought before.

-Someone needs to go in town and buy a few bulbs-Wooseok said to the boys the next morning who were mostly chilling in the living room covered with blankets as the room wasn't warmed yet.
