The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

31 ✔️

"Thank you for driving" Youngbin replied to the younger as they parked at their school, forcing a small smile onto his face. He felt bad that Sanghyuk had to deal with this, with him being like this and constantly lost in thoughts. He didn't deserve it, it was his past after all and Sanghyuk did nothing wrong. He didn't notice that the younger wasn't irritated at all, worry written all over his face as he followed the older into the school. The only person who noticed was Youngkyun, deciding to talk with him to clear everything up.
"Can I talk with you for a second?" Youngkyun asked, gently holding onto Sanghyuk's arm to stop him.
"Of course. Is everything alright?" the older asked, looking back at Youngbin once again before reverting all of his attention to his younger brother.
"Not really but I wanted to apologize. I was a bit prejudiced after hearing about some things from your friends. I just wanted to say I'm sorry and I hope you take good care of my brother."
"You don't have to apologize, the other's were right all along. I want to take care of him but he won't let me" he sighed, a small giggle escaping Youngkyun's mouth.
"He will soon enough. It's just a lot of things happened in the past and he's a bit careful now not to fall in love too early. What happened to him was harsh, I won't tell you though. Just wait and be there for him and he'll tell you eventually. He really likes you Sanghyuk hyung, he isn't just looking for fun."
"I aren't either. I mean in the past yes but he's different in many ways. He really is special, he managed to make me realize quite a few things" the older mumbled, still feeling a bit awkward about his confession.
"I'll talk with him later and it would be the best if he would come home tonight. This time of the year isn't really easy for us all."
"Of course. I won't interfere at all, I just want the best for him."
"Thank you Sanghyuk hyung. I've changed my mind. I think you're quite a good match" the younger replied with a small smile as he started walking into the school, Sanghyuk running after him with a big smile.
He just sat down on his assigned desk, waiting for his other friends and teacher to come in and start the lesson, he wouldn't pay much attention either way. He let his head fall down onto the desk, trying to sleep a bit more. He never was interested in going to a good college or getting good grades, he just wanted to graduate. His parents were never satisfied with him no matter what he did so he stop caring about it all in middle school. High school was supposed to be fun, meeting girls and getting drunk on the weekend and looking back he fulfilled everything he promised himself at the beginning of his first year. The only thing he felt regretful about was that his parents not even cared about his bad grades and just accepted it. He knew that he wasn't perfect or the son they always wanted but he just wished for more attention from them, which he never received.
"Aish what are you thinking about again" he mumbled while shaking his head a bit, trying to get rid of those thoughts. He looked up just in time to see Inseong and Jaeyoon walk in, whispering to each other.
"What's going on here?" he asked as he turned around to them.
"Nothing. What do you think is going on?"
"You're behaving weird. Have you finally confessed to each other?" he asked, smirking when he saw them blushing.
"Congratulations then. It was about time for that to happen" he chuckled, immediately earning a slap from both of them.
"Seriously Sanghyuk why are you always so nosy? Besides I really hope you told him the truth" Inseong grumbled, his gaze landing on Youngbin who was seemingly sleeping on his desk before looking back at his friend.
"I've told him everything, he wasn't mad at me."
"Seriously, I probably wouldn't be able to forgive you after that."
"I'd never sleep with you so don't worry" Sanghyuk replied before turning back around, feeling the odler glare at him.
"I wouldn't either Lee Sanghyuk" he grumbled, opening his books to distract him from getting mad. Sanghyuk's happiness from annoying his older friend only lasted for a short while, soon thinking about Youngbin again. He just couldn't help it, he has always been curious and from the things he already knew about him it must have been something very traumatizing for him to constantly space out. There were a lot of things that came to his mind bit he definitely wouldn't ask the older about it, he just needed to be patient and wait for him to trust him. Thinking more about he truly hated his past, constantly being with butlers instead of his parents amd always getting scolded whenever his parents weren't satisfied. He thought back to the many times he wished for his parents attention, their approval of him and them telling them that they were proud of him. It never happened, making him still wait for it.
