FAKE & TRUE.

Chapter 9: I don't want to see you.

⤻ HWANG HYUNJIN.

Hyunjin had actually expected to be waiting for an hour, only to go home, but there he was, Yang Jeongin, walking to the directions his phone told him. Hyunjin chuckled shaking his head at the sight, Jeongin's eyes were glued to his phone, walking slowly as he pointed his phone to the direction the the phone instructed.

"So you came." Hyunjin rocked back and forth on his heels, holding a cold expression- eyes dark and burning. "Hm." Jeongin hummed, sharing the same expression. "I'm taking you to a cafe today." - "I hate coffee."

"You say you hate coffee when you've never even tried it." Hyunjin watches Jeongin sip the iced coffee with a calm and dewy expression.

"So, what things do you actually like?" Jeongin looks up from his coffee, looking at Hyunjin hesitantly. "I thought you're here to get your apology accepted, not to chat." Hyunjin wants to smack that stupid cold expression off his face. "Well, do you accept my apology?" Hyunjin tests, watching Jeongin's eyes linger. "No."

"Exactly."

"So, let me ask again. What do you like?" This sad boy must have his interests at least. "I don't know- books?" That just makes him seem sadder, Hyunjin deflates in his seat. "You're like an old man, anyone ever told you that?" He sees Jeongin's expression distort into something like offence. "How so?" Hyunjin shakes his head. "You dress like one, have the same interests as one and you're boring like one." Jeongin's eyebrows scrunch as he shakes his head.

"No! I just.. am not as bold and as some people! You're one to talk Mr-Black-Is-The-Only-Color!" Jeongin points at Hyunjin's rather dark and hostile image. "You're colour palette is so light I think you might as well be a milk carton." Hyunjin quirks an eyebrow.

Hyunjin watched as Jeongin walked beside him, kicking rocks and keeping his gaze on the ground. Even after spending two hours in the cafe, Jeongin remained timid and silent. Hyunjin had thought he was getting somewhere after they were in a tease frenzy, but it seemed like Jeongin was even more timid after that, if that's possible.

"Jeongin?" Hyunjin looked behind them, seeing a male with a sharp chin and red hightlights. Hyunjin sees Jeongin's eyes widen, hands balled into fists and a pained expression. "Changbin.." Jeongin mutters, taking a step back when 'Changbin' took a step forward. "It's been a long time.." That 'Changbin' guy says, hand reaching out with sad eyes. Hyunjin has a bad feeling blossoming in his chest as Jeongin closes his eyes shut and shakes his head. "Wait!-" Hyunjin says, seeing Jeongin turn back and run. "Sh*t."

Hyunjin had tailed behind him, but lost track of him when Jeongin ran across the road during a green light, is he crazy? Thankfully, Jeongin was safe but Hyunjin doesn't expect to chase after him after that. They aren't friends anyways, so why should he chase after him?

Right?

Hyunjin wondered who was that 'Changbin' guy and why was Jeongin so upset at his presence?
