Never Ending Story 《Seungjin FF》

{5}

"I want to tell you something." Those words left Hyunjin's lips in a tense manner. Seungmin looked at Hyunjin with a frown. The boy never spoke in such a quiet and serious manner, until and unless Hyunjin was having a problem with something. Unless he needed some real advising. But the next thing that left Hyunjin's lips shocked Seungmin.

"I think you are becoming someone very important to me. Like I think you are the most important person in my life and if you go away, I don't think I can live without you. I can't survive without your presence. You got what I mean right? I don't think I exactly like you but you're just someone that has become so dear to me that I can't let you go, Seungmin...."

Seungmin stood dead in his tracks. Never in his life did he think he would hear this now. If he didn't like him, he still had a chance right? To be liked back by your crush for the first time.

The first time Seungmin had a crush on someone was a girl. When he had confessed, she had considered him as a brother. Second time, his crush had a crush on some other boy.

Seungmin never expected his crush to like him back. But this was a different case. Hyunjin....he had a chance, he knew deep inside and now, that Hyunjin is saying these things. Seungmin's hope just swelled. He will like him back someday. He was sure.

After standing there for a solid thirty seconds, Seungmin broke out in a wide smile. The only thing Seungmin couldn't control was his happiness. He always showed his happiness or excitement right away. The younger was really strong though at the time of emotional breakdown. He wouldn't cry right away. Instead he bottled up those feelings and when it came to it's worst point then he would just shed two three tear drops and he was done. Hyunjin and his friends had never seen Seungmin cry. The boy was really tough though.

Hyunjin couldn't help but give a wicked grin. But Seungmin was too busy smiling at the thought of Hyunjin liking him back, he didn't see that look on Hyunjin's face. "You know, I'm really happy right now. Even if you don't like me back, you saying that I'm important to you, is just so enough for me right now." Seungmin whispered out. Hyunjin smiled at this. Feeling a little guilty for lieing to the boy.

Never did he realise what mistake he had done. How horribly he would smash the hope when the boy found out. Seungmin's phone rang. All the colour in this face drained. It was getting really late.

Both of them paced towards the stand now. Hyunjin smiled at Seungmin before they parted away. The bus had arrived just when Seungmin had reached the stand.

->->->->->

Seungmin got a message just when he had stepped out of the shower. It was from Hyunjin. When he opened the message, Seungmin frowned in confusion.

"You reaction was great!😂"

Seungmin then typed a "what?"

"It was actually a prank that I played on you. You seriously stood on spot for like thirty or forty seconds and then believed me? It was worth a while to see your face."

Seungmin looked at the phone in disbelief. (Nearly forgot to mention, he had logged in to his Instagram account in his aunt's phone).

Seungmin had serious trust issues. He couldn't handle people lieing to him. Nor did he lie to them. Except if the truth wouldn't hurt them then other wise....
He was grown like this, again because of his mother. Since he was a child she would promise him many things like.

'Sweetums let's go to zoo this sunday.' but....'I'm sorry Seungmin but I have too many clothes to wash today.'

'I'll take you to movies tomorrow right after we get your report today.' but....'I have to
go to a prayer meeting, I forgot was today.'

Yeah and there were more. She did make up by taking him some other day but, she never took him at the right day. She sometimes even forgot to makeup all those incomplete promises. But Seungmin didn't remind her, just to see if she really meant it or not. One time fine, she might have forgotten because of work, second time, fine. Third time? Fine. This way it turned to years and now it had been five years. Seungmin really didn't mind because these stuffs were not even worth to cry for. And the only person that he trusted had now lied to him. It's true Seungmin had played a lot of pranks on him before.

But non of it was this serious was it? Seungmin was serious about his feelings this time. And in simple words it were just like Hyunjin was playing with his feelings. But Seungmin knew he would never hurt him knowingly. He was oblivious. He was just a small child in the world of love, for he had never really liked someone. The day Hyunjin had believed Seungmin liked him, he had labled it as 'infatuation.' Which was something Seungmin had never felt. His crush on a person stayed for two years minimum and five years maximum. So you call that 'Infatuation'?

Love is something you can't describe until you yourself have fallen for someone. Your family love is different. Your sister or brotherly love was different. Teen age love is different. Adult love is different. Childhood love is different. The love between couples are different. And the love shared by aged couples are different.

The only thing Hyunjin has never known was the 'Romantic Love.' Shared by the children, teen, adult and aged people. And Seungmin knew.

So this was Seungmin's final decision. He thought some other person would show Hyunjin the love he needs to know.
So Seungmin made up his mind. He was hurt but he knew that crying over a love issue is something to pity. Plus Seungmin was not emotional too. Yes he was hurt. But he never cried, specially over his love life.

->->->->->

"He has been ignoring me for a week. Now I've started getting annoyed by his behaviour!? I know he has been talking to you at lunch break Woojin. We share the same desk while eating lunch in the cafeteria. You guys leave right after you are done. I know he has been telling you something about the reason he is acting like this towards me.?!" Hyunjin shouted while woojin and he himself were heading towards their class. Woojin took a deep breath.

Hyunjin ran his hands through his hair.
"Hyunjin, Seungmin.....he is not angry at you actually. He is hurt." Woojin said in a low voice.
"For what is he hurt for Godsake!?" Hyunjin rolled his eyes.

"Seungmin has shared everything with me. But I'll tell you if you promise me not to march towards him without listening to the whole story. He-he told me to keep this away from you. But..."woojin looked around to make sure Seungmin was not around.

"Tell me. You are not telling a robber his bank account number. I'm his best friend after all." Hyunjin said calming down.

They went to the art room. The teacher hadn't arrived nor did Seungmin and Felix. So both boys kept their things quickly at their desks and headed out of the door to a safe place where no one could hear them.

"Now...spill." Hyunjin was surely really impatient.
"So let me start with the top-"
