One thing was for sure. Seungmin had a crush on Hyunjin. Hyunjin knew the truth. And he liked Seungmin only as a friend.

Woojin had been there for Seungmin through his ups and downs caused by an oblivious Hyunjin, sometimes. He was the best advice giver for Seungmin.

The most worst thing about this whole situation was that, Seungmin and Hyunjin were best friends. Like they were really close to eachother but now, they somehow seemed to have drifted away from eachother. They were like best friends when they were not face to face, but at school, don't know what happened, but they both acted like they were just friends. But both didn't realise their actions at school. Well, one of them might have but kept to him, shrugging it off. He just thought he was being possessive over the taller male. If he couldn't have him as his lover than having him as his best friend, he took pride in it. But felt truly hurt when they were not in good terms at school. Hyunjin had stopped showing any physical affection. He kind of froze when Seungmin ever hugged him too.

Was it because of Seungmin's confession?
Was he being self conscious around the shorter male? Did he thought he would get the wrong idea if he performed skinship? Was it because of last year's events? Was he 'disgusted' of Seungmin?

That last one has to be an exception. Hyunjin was open to LGBTQ. He himself liked a boy, sorry, two boys till now. But he was now considering himself straight.

You see the first time he actually liked someone was at the age of ten. Then he ended up liking another boy at the age of twelve. He was in grade six. There was this popular head boy at school and just like the others, Hyunjin was also whipped for him. That year was also the year..... Hyunjin met Seungmin.They had been best mates right away. For they both didn't have any particular friend, they had stayed at the classroom when the bell for the break rang. That's how they talked and became friends.

Last year had changed everything. Hyunjin had been closer with Felix lately and Seungmin had been closer to Woojin.
Even after they made up, they still had that 'awkwardness' sometimes when they were in person with eachother. The others had stopped paying attention to them because they had grown used to that now.

Seungmin never questioned how he fell for Hyunjin though. He knew all those teases his friends have gave them after they had mended their friendship, the younger had started to think what would it be like to like Hyunjin. And there you are, Seungmin had fallen. Blushing a deep shade of crimson whenever the phone rang indicating Hyunjin had called (They talked for three hours because Seungmin's mother would arrive from work. She would not be happy to find her son speaking with a friend for so long).

That one thing Seungmin hated about liking Hyunjin was that.....
If his mother or father found out.....
He would be dead.

They were really, like really, very.....

HOMOPHOBIC.....

Hyunjin on the other hand knew about this. He didn't know how to handle situation like Seungmin being his admirer. He himself had never fallen too deep. So, he always didn't react to his affections. Little did he know that it hurt Seungmin. But not anymore. He had grown too used to this. Too used to rejection. But he feared that his parents would reject him for his sexuality if he came out. He despised his parents. He hated their guts sometimes. He feared God too. Their family was Christian after all.

Seungmin as much as he hated his parents and his family, he feared them just as much. Well his mother was the main person behind everything. His fear, his bitterness, his hatred, his life and his dreams. She was also behind last year. The darkest past for Seungmin. The darkest hours of depression and pain. No one was there for him. He had no one.

He wanted to give up. But stood back up.

At some point of life you have to be a little braver. Just a little braver.

"Why are you smiling?" Woojin asked.
"I-uh-being happy at myself." Seungmin stuttered out.
"You always do great sweety. Remember okay? Everyone goes through this phase of life, you can do it too!" Woojin said and gave a warm smile.

"Someone is jealous." Said Felix with a cheeky grin giving his side looks to Hyunjin who sat beside him.
Hyunjin turned to him and raised his spoon to smack Felix on his head. But Felix dogged it and ran. Just like that the entertainment carried on. The next thing, Hyunjin was beside Seungmin. His hand on Seungmin's exposed thigh. (He was wearing shorts) Hyunjin was laughing at something and catching his legs for support, Seungmin didn't hear what he was laughing at because he was too distracted when Hyunjin's long fingered brushed on his inner thighs. That left a shiver run down Seungmin's spine.

"Hey Seungmin why are you all red?" Shouted Changbin, who looked right at Seungmin's thigh and Hyunjin's hand. Oh how much Seungmin hated Changbin at this moment. But thank God the bell rang and no one had seen Changbin's point of that question. Seungmin was really red. When they parted to their respective classrooms, Hyunjin waved at Seungmin. Seungmin just raised his hand when Hyunjin locked their fingers for a short time and left.

What was going on?
Something didn't feel right.

To be continued......

(A/N): I am not showing hatred to Christianity and I mean no offence. This is just fiction and I myself am a Christian. So please don't feel offended if I mention some bad deeds performed by Seungmin's parents. Anyways thank you and I love you. Hope you enjoy~
