Hyunjin came to the practice today. His teammates were happy to see him again and he received tons of lectures from Chan. He didn't mind it. He deserved that lecture because he disappeared without any sign.

After practice finished, Chan invited everyone to have a drink at the barbeque booth. He also invited the basketball team seeing how his best friend was also on that team. "Hey, wooj!" Chan called out to the basketball team leader. Their friendship was really nice to see because the both of them were mature and they never fought. Maybe they do but not in front of people. Unlike Hyunjin and Jisung.

"Oh, yeah. How come I haven't seen Jisung around?" Chan asked Woojin. Hyunjin finally realized the absence of his best friend. He straightened his back and started looking around for him but he was nowhere inside the booth. "Oh that... he's banned because he punched Jeongin"

"He did?" Chan asked, perplexed. Everybody knew of his aggressiveness but they also knew he wouldn't hurt his friends even for a million. "There must be something up with him...he hadn't been acting normally around us although his skill had been improving in basketball"

The conversation beside Hyunjin faded away as he was too focused to find Jisung. He fished out his phone, his thumb lingering over Jisung's number. Changbin who was sitting next to him was trying to reach for the soju bottle accidentally pushed him, his thumb grazing the number on his contact list.

He widened his eyes and panicked, trying to end the call when he heard a familiar ringtone outside the booth. He looked up, seeing a figure standing outside the booth but the face was unseen, blurred by the booth curtain.

He looked down when the phone call was ended by the receiver. Hyunjin quickly stood up, grabbing his coat and running out without notifying his seniors and juniors.

"Ji!" He yelled to the running figure. "Hey!"

The figure in front of him abruptly stopped. Hyunjin halted in surprise when he saw the future he assumed as his best friend fell onto the ground with a loud thud. He looked at the shoes the figure was wearing and confirmed it was his best friend. He bought that shoes in Christmas for Jisung.

"Aww..." Jisung groaned, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Hyunjin jogged and squatted once he arrived in front of Jisung, dusting dirts off his outfit. "Hey, are you fine?"

Upon realizing Hyunjin caught up with him, Jisung struggled to stand up and leave but Hyunjin had stopped him, holding his hand tightly.

"You're clumsy as always" Hyunjin said, standing up while pulling Jisung up with him. 

"I wasn't running away from you", Jisung pouted. Hyunjin scoffed before dragging Jisung to the bus stop. "Where are we going?"

"To have a talk" Jisung shook his head. He didn't want to have 'the' talk. If anything, he wanted to avoid anything related to Na-Eun right now.

Jisung was persistent about it and knowing his personality, he would keep quiet throughout their conversation. "Fine, not the talk then. Just...cuddles?" Hyunjin knew Jisung wouldn't reject cuddles and Jisung had agreed easily to his suggestion.

Jisung bit his innercheek. Acting like a sulking child in front of Hyunjin, this was the first time he felt concious of himself around him. Maybe because they had a fight and he didn't want Hyunjin to minsunderstand him?

When the both of them arrived inside Hyunjin's room, the taller walked towards the sofa, turning on the TV and then taking off his coat, putting them on the sofa's handrest.

He turned around and saw Jisung tackling him, the both of them fell on the sofa. "Uff" Hyunjin said when Jisung wrapped his hands tightly around his torso. Hyunjin smiled lovingly at his best friend, hand reaching for Jisung's head.

Before he could caress Jisung's hair, the other looked up from Hyunjin's chest. "I didn't mean it"

"I didn't mean to punch Jeongin", Hyunjin blinked in confusion. Of course, he knew Jisung didn't mean it. There must be something going on with Jisung which he didn't know about. "I know", Hyunjin acknowledged.

"I was just thinking...", Hyunjin's chest went up and down as he thought in silence. "Are you thinking about that again?"

"About what?" Jisung tilted his head. "About your dad" Hyunjin whispered.

....

"Well...that too", Jisung's father's dream was to be a basketball player to enter the national competition but it was nothing but a dream. Jisung wanted to be the achieving his father's dream. He wanted to see his father's happy and he was also happy with what he was doing.

"Are you fine now? Not sick anymore?" Jisung asked him, snuggling closer to Hyunjin. Hyunjin also wrapped his hands around Jisung's small waist, his thumb caressing the slightly exposed skin under Jisung's shirt.

Jisung flinched at the contact but eventually relaxed when he got used to it. "Yeah, I'm fine now. How do you know I was sick?"

"I guessed..." Jisung said, slowly falling asleep.

After a few minutes, Hyunjin heard a small snore coming from Jisung and relieved a huge sigh.

He stared at Jisung with sadness in his eyes, hoping Jisung wouldn't hear the way his heart beat loudly. He threw his head back, resting them on the top of the sofa's frame, looking at the spinning fan on the ceiling to distract himself from the one he was holding. I need to get rid of this feeling...

He admitted that he liked Na-Eun and more as a friend but Jisung? Like? Maybe more than just a simple like and this feeling was hard to get rid of.

However, he was conflicted. He was trying to get rid of his feeling and it was working. He was starting to develop feeling for Na-Eun but he found out Jisung liked her.

It was like whatever he did was fated to be tied with Jisung. He couldn't run away from Jisung nor can he leave Jisung alone.

He should choose between friendship and love but...even if he choose friendship now, he didn't know if he could hold his feeling in. If he ever let it out and damage their friendship.

He needed to sacrifice something for this friendship right? Even if he will hurt Jisung? It's just a simple crush...he wouldn't be affected too much.
