Seungwoo POV
"What are you up to?" I asked Seungyoun. He sat down next to me on my bed.
"Just thinking." He replied, lying down and looking up at the top of the ceiling.
"About what?" I pried, lying down next to him. His tall frame took up most of the space left so we were lying shoulder to shoulder.
"Am I an asshole?" He raised his hands above his face and studied them, not wanting to look at me.
I pondered at his question for a moment. "I wouldn't say you were particularly asshole. But I think that you shouldn't yelled at Aera."
"Yeah, that's why she hates me, right?" He muttered, turning away to face the wall. "I hate me, too."
"What's going on between you two?" I said, letting out a small sigh. "I thought you're hitting it off with Hana."
"I'm not really sure why, either." He replied. "I don't feel it that way with Hana. She's just a friend, I guess? A party friends?"
"Do you like Aera?" I raised my eyebrows at him.
"I don't like her but I can't stop thinking about her. I mean, I definitely crossed the line with some things I said. She's got a very clearly drawn line because she had a terrible experience in her past marriage, which I get. But I don't know, I'm frustrated with everything when it comes to her."
"Well, don't obsess about it." I advised. "Don't poke your nose in someone else's affairs. You just started to get to know her and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Gee, thanks." He shoved me, voice dripping with sarcasm. "That really makes me feel better."
"I'm not trying to sugarcoat it for you. You barely know her. And she seems uncomfortable around you. It's time to move on."
"Shut up." He cried, actually shoving me off my bed this time. I toppled to the floor, laughing at his outburst.
"Want me to get you closer to Hana?" I offered, fixing my hair.
"No." He replied sullenly, giving me the finger. "Leave me alone."
"Come on, I know she was your type." I wheedled. "She's tiny and bubbly. I know you like girls like that."
"You don't know anything." He muttered, pulling my covers over his head.
"Seungyoun." I sighed exasperatedly. "You wanna act like you're all about life, but I've lived with you for months and the most you've done is just installing amounts of dating apps and then uninstalled it. I need to remind you that self-love and growth should come first. You need to grow and mature before looking for another date so that you won't be the emotional wreck you are right now."
Seungyoun muttered something under his breath and left the room, slamming the door on his way out.
