the tall figure waited patiently besides the door,
tapping his feet on the wooden floor boards.

as soon as a knock noised from the other side,
doyoung hurriedly let the pair step inside.

the three all sat on chairs;
there was doyoung on one side of the table and both jaemin and jeno on the other.

the elder looked down with his hands cupped over the table.

jaemin pointed at him with his lips looking at jeno.
he sighed sadly.

"how long has it been, hyung?"

"ever since we first started talking." he said.
he sounded like he was on the brink of tears. "it was about five months ago..."

the raven-headed scratched at his nape,
"i know it hasn't been that long,
but it still hurts as much."

"love can be detected in a 10 year relationship to a 10 day relationship.
there's no such thing as a 'short amount of time', doyoung hyung."
jaemin frowned, reaching out for doyoung's hand.

he sniffed, "still. that's such a little period of time to go
head over heels for an individual. i wasn't even supposed to like him."

"why... aren't you supposed to like him?"

"because..."
his fingers endlessly circled over the younger's.

"he likes jaehyun."

the couple became wide eyed.
they glanced at each other with looks of gloom.
jeno opened up his mouth to speak, however, was interrupted.

"that's what i'm not getting; that he likes jaehyun."
doyoung tensed up, "when will i just accept the fact that he doesn't like me either"

jaemin instantly got up from his seat and rushed over to the elder male,
to bring him into a sympathetic and tight embrace.

jeno joined in not shortly after the gesture.

the raven-haired finally up loosened his throat,
letting the tears that had been dying to find an exit cascade down his cheeks.

"what do i do?"
his voice cracked as he gripped onto the two boys' clothes.

they couldn't say much, other than,

"we don't know, either, hyung."

jeno pulled away and saw doyoung's tear-stained face.
he didn't know whether to ask his original question or not,
but he just continued to comfort his elder.

when the two left his house,
jaemin got into the car and looked straight at doyoung's shadow in the window.

a sorrowful sigh broke past his lips.

starting the car up,
jeno's shoulder was greeted by the other male's hand.

"you don't think who he is talking about is the person sehun-hyung talks about,
do you?"

"the boy in his photos?"

he nodded.

"there's just no doubt about it."
