FAKE & TRUE.

Chapter 10: Why is he any different?

⤿ YANG JEONGIN.

Jeongin huffed in frustration, today at school was irritating. Hyunjin had followed him around, questioning about Changbin with that annoying thick eyebrows of his, Jeongin had of course simply just dodged his questions and kept silent.

Though he was now working at his part-time job, the karaoke joint. The job was easy out of all the jobs he had tried so far, and he enjoyed hearing the songs. Jeongin hummed to the song playing from the only occupied room, the group had an amazing taste in music.

"How many people?" Jeongin asked, turning around from where he was searching for the microphone hygienic covers- only to be faced with the one and only Hwang Hyunjin. Hyunjin had came with a girl, how surprising. "Two." Hyunjin spoke without any shock, as if Jeongin and him were never acquainted, Jeongin isn't complaining.

"You go first." Hyunjin muttered to the girl, who nodded with big eyes. "Nice seeing you here." Jeongin raised his eyebrow at the way Hyunjin spoke. "You're not going to have sex in the karaoke room are you?" Jeongin ignored Hyunjin's statement, only to follow with a snarky remark. "Not anymore." Hyunjin looked disappointed, shoving his hands into his pockets, spinning on his heels to head to the room. Jeongin sighs, no one changes.

Jeongin watched the girl run out with a red face, stomping angrily- or rather embarrassingly. Jeongin had expected Hyunjin to tail behind her immediately, but he didn't? Jeongin shook his head, why should he care? They had technically already checked out.

Fifteen minutes went by and Hyunjin still had not left, Jeongin used his job as an excuse to take heavy steps towards the room.

He tilts his head in confusion, seeing Hyunjin laid out on the couch, hand on his rather red cheek, eyes staring at the dark ceiling as Lucky Star by Madonna played in the background. Jeongin opened his lips to ask that one question, but he decided against it.

Jeongin left the room.

⤿ HWANG HYUNJIN.

Hyunjin's eyes trailed all over the places the girl had touched, eyes hungry and lips caught between his teeth. Before her fingers could drag down his zipper he grabbed her wrist, remembering the words Jeongin had told him. "We're- We're not going to have sex." He stares at her with a blank expression, hers contorts into embarrassment. "You're telling me I had sung countless of songs just to be told you- 'Hwang-I f*cked the whole school' won't have sex with me?" Hyunjin nodded- big mistake. Pain dripped from his cheek when the hand that was once touching under his shirt slapped the living soul out of him. He felt anger bubble inside of him.

Hyunjin watched Jeongin leave the room the second he entered, does that mean he can continue to lay here? Hyunjin doesn't care about the answer.

After an hour Hyunjin woke up from his nap, groaning at the massive ache his cheek held. He walked to the counter, seeing Jeongin who had his eyes closed gently, head bopping lightly to the song playing. Hyunjin leaned against the counter, watching him with a playful gaze.

Hyunjin chuckled once Jeongin had opened his eyes, a tiny gasp leaves the raven haired's lips. "When do you finish?" Hyunjin looking at Jeongin with a gaze neither of the two could place a finger on. "11PM."

11:00 PM.

"Why?" Hyunjin looks at Jeongin with a raised brow at the out of context question, pulling away from the soda can. Hyunjin had bought the both of them sodas, now he was walking Jeongin home.

"Why are you spending time with me? Don't you have girls to waste time with?" They both stop walking, Jeongin turns to face Hyunjin. "Is that who you take me for as a person. Just a guy who spends time with girls, that's all?" Hyunjin would have already socked a punch in this situation, it goes unanswered why he hadn't. "Isn't that who you are as a person?" Hyunjin scoffed, shaking his head at Jeongin's bold remark.

"Anyways, if you want forgiveness so bad, I forgive you- there. Now leave me alone." Jeongin pushes the plastic bag full of  snacks Hyunjin had bought for him onto Hyunjin's chest, walking away.
