With You ~ (dowoo) COMPLETED

ch.6

Jungwoo panicked. What was he supposed to do? He didn't want to say yes. He was supposed break up with Jaehyun today. But he didn't know if he could bring himself to say no, either. Everyone was looking at the pair, waiting for Jungwoo to smile and say yes because I mean who would say no to Jaehyun?

He didn't have much time to decide.

So he did the only thing he knew how to do.

Jungwoo ran up to him and hugged him, "Of course!" He said, which to anyone watching must have seemed like a natural reaction, but really Jungwoo just wanted to bury his face in Jaehyun's shoulder so he didn't have to look him in the eye anymore and pretend he meant it.

Some of the people around them "awwed" and clapped or smiled at the little moment they were having, but then went back to going about their day. Jaehyun pulled away from the hug and it was then it was just the two of them in the middle of the hallway.

Jaehyun looked at him like he was about to say something sickeningly sweet. Jungwoo panicked.

"I have to go to the bathroom!"

He turned around before Jaehyun could say anything and dashed into the nearest boy's bathroom. Thankfully, there was no one else in there.

He hadn't realized he'd started crying until he saw himself in the mirror. There were tears running down his cheeks, and his nose was red. He stood in front of the sinks and blinked at his reflection, trying to hold back tears, but his lips were quivering and his throat was choking up and before he knew it he was full on sobbing.

The bell rang, but there was no way Jungwoo was going to class like this. He didn't really understand why he was crying, but it felt good so he let it all out.

He silenced his cries as soon as he heard the door open.

"Jungwoo? Is that you?"

It was Ten. Jungwoo tried to somewhat pull himself together before turning around.

"H-hi."

Ten could be brutally honest sometimes, but he was a very caring friend. A look of worry overtook his face and he wrapped his arms around Jungwoo.

"What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy. I head Jaehyun asked you to Homecoming."

Jungwoo just cried more. He's right, I should be happy. Ten just held him, rubbing a hand up and down his back.

Jungwoo stepped back and sniffled, eyes down. Ten looked at him with curiosity as to why he could be so upset.

"That's just it I...I was going to break up with him today."

Ten looked shocked. "What!?"

Jungwoo didn't say anything, and eventually Ten, after getting over his initial shock, said "Why don't we go somewhere, If we're gonna ditch I'd rather not do it in the boy's bathroom."

They ended up just sitting in Ten's car in the school parking lot, some chill hip hop playing at a low volume while they talked.

"It's just that I...I don't...I don't know. I'm confused, and it feels unfair to Jaehyun."

Ten listened intently.

"We've been together for so long but..." he struggled to find the words, "nothing happened between us I just..."

"Fell out of love?" Ten offered.

And Jungwoo almost said yes because well, that was what he'd been thinking too, but something about that statement just didn't sit quite right with him.
