Then There's Us. [ Hyunsung ]

He knew his mother was going to get married soon but he didn't know THIS soon. Approximately, one week after they announced it. He was still not over the fact Mr.Seo proposed to his mother without him noticing anything. He believed that despite being such a introverted person, he was a sly man.

"So, why are you not in Mr.Seo's room instead?" Chan asked Jisung who was dragged out from the groom's room. "Well...he won't stop glaring at the groom. So, we think maybe Hyunjin could calm him down"

Hyunjin popped his head out and pointed at himself. "Me?"

Seungmin nodded, pulling Jisung by his hand and then pushing him into Hyunjin's hand. "Take him out to take a breathe." Seungmin waved his hand before taking a glass of water to drink. "I already tried everything but he's still glaring at people...he won't even smile"

Hyunjin nodded. Even if he wasn't told to , he would still bring Jisung out to the balcony. Jisung said nothing and let himself to be pulled out from the wedding avenue.

Cold breeze of night passed through the two of them. Jisung slightly shivered from the cold."is it cold?" Hyunjin asked, quickly taking off his coat but Jisung stopped him. "You don't have to do that. I'm sure you're cold to"

"And...I'm out here to cool down."

Hyunjin heaved a sigh and nodded, putting on his coat back before asking Jisung. "Don't you like that your mom is getting married again? Do you hate it?"

Jisung gap his mouth and closed it back, flustered. "It's not like I hate it...just" he mumbled his last word.

"Just?"

"Not used..." Jisung finally said, sighing again. "The idea of my mom...having someone else than me is weird. The idea of another guy other than me in her life is freaking weird!" He complained, hand gripping on the balcony's railing, hanging on it as he let his body fall back while yelling to the air.

"But...your mom had your dad before-" Jisung rolled his eyes.

"I know! But my dad is different! After they went through divorce, my mother was always alone and I was the only guy she depended on. Now that Mr.Seo is here...I"

"I feel like she's being taken away from me" Hyunjin didn't expect to hear that from Jisung. All Hyunjin knew, Jisung was a really mature person who will be happy about his mother's new life but seemed like he was still a child inside. "I feel like I'm being replaced"

Hyunjin stretched his hand and awkwardly patted Jisung's head. Jisung looked up, frowning. "What are you doing?"

"Comforting you" Hyunjin coughed.

"You're bad at this" Jisung laughed. "And I must sound childish"

Hyunjin nodded. "You sound like a kid who got his candy stolen"

Jisung rolled the corner of his lips up annoyance. What was wrong with this man? He would be all sweet one day and all annoying another day.

"Do you seriously think that you're being replaced?" Hyunjin asked, mockingly.

"I just feel like its like that, okay?" Jisung groaned, scratching his head. "You're quite dumb for a top student, aren't you?"

"You!" Jisung pointed his index finger at Hyunjin but pulled his hand back when he saw the serious look on his face. "Nobody can replace you. You're your mother's son. Do you think she will throw her son that she carried in her womb for 9 months and then nurtured for 18 years just for a guy he met for a few years?"

"No" Jisung answered. "There...you get your answer" Hyunjin smiled, showing his line of perfectly white teeth.

"Thanks. I feel better now" Jisung rolled his shoulder and turned around to walk back into the wedding but Hyunjin swiftly stopped him, grabbing his wrist.
