THIRD PERSON

"Look, I don't mean to be rude or something but..." Hyunjin said as he examined Seungmin while the latter was typing in his laptop.

Seungmin turned his eye to Hyunjin and raised a brow, "What?"

"I'm curious on the story behind you and Jisung. Did you... fall in love with him in the past?" Hyunjin slowly asked.

Seungmin turned his eyes back to his laptop and started typing again, "Nope, but someone else did."

"What do you mean?"

Seungmin stopped typing with a loud press on the keyboard and turned his head up to meet Hyunjin's eye, "Back in our childhood, Jisung had his first love."

"Oh... so you didn't like him that way?"

Seungmin shook his head, "I didn't. But Jisung and Felix has always been so important to me, as if they were my real brothers." 

"Seungmin... I don't deserve happiness, do I?"

"Besides... I don't want him to experience something like that ever again." Seungmin muttered.

"What? You said something?"

He then let out a chuckle, "Funny on how I'm the youngest in our group but I act more mature than them. Those two are chaotic, sometime's it's really a pain in the ass." Seungmin said, avoiding Hyunjin's question.

Hyunjin hummed, "So that's how it feels to have a friend, huh."

Seungmin tilted his head, "You were serious about before?"

Hyunjin sighed, "Of course I am. No one really wanted to befriend me for who I am, they just wanted money. Really, I hated it."

"So you were actually a lonely child then."

Hyunjin rolled his eyes, "No need to point that out, you know."

"Though that was unexpected. Who knew the most popular guy in campus was actually a lonely little baby?" Seungmin teased.

"Shut up. I still have friends... kinda."

"Well you do have one." Seungmin stated as he continue to focus his sight on his laptop screen and started typing again.

"What do you mean?"

"I told you before right? I'd consider you becoming my friend if you follow my conditions. Well, based from my calculations, you're doing good in accompanying me about Minho and Jisung."

A smile curved into Hyunjin's lips as he understood what Seungmin meant. He stared at him lovingly and never bothered to say a word. He didn't need to clarify what the younger meant. Besides, Seungmin wouldn't even admit it straightforwardly if he asked.

"Seungmin." 

Seungmin turned his head towards the direction of Hyunjin's voice and was suddenly met with a pair of lips on his. Their eyes both widened and both immediately pulled away with blushing faces.

"I-I'm sorry, that was supposed to be on the cheek." Hyunjin clarified.

Seungmin can feel his heart beat faster than normal, he was a blushing mess. He slowly turned his head back to Hyunjin, "D-do that again..."

Hyunjin's eyes widened as he turn back to Seungmin, not sure if he heard the words clearly. "W-what?"

"Do that again." Seungmin repeated in a low voice but Hyunjin completely heard it.

A smile curved into Hyunjin's lips as he look into Seungmin's eyes. He slowly leaned in and closed the gap between them, capturing the latter's lips and kissing deeply but softly.

Moments later, Hyunjin pulled away and rested his forehead on the younger's. He gave him a smirk and said, "So... friends, huh?"

"Shut up, you dramatic llama."

"Ha! I won again!"

"You always do!"

"That's because I'm the greatest gamer of all time!" The freckled boy squealed as he persecuted his fortnite dances.

"One more time! I'm not gonna lose this time!" Changbin said as he positioned his hand on the joystick and the buttons.

Felix chuckled, "You know Hyung, you're like Sungie. He always whines on how he often loses to me and never stops challenging me until he wins."

Changbin stopped as he heard that name again. He turned to Felix and said, "I just noticed. You never fail to mention Jisung whenever we go here. I mean, I guess it's completely normal. But you mention him more than you mention Seungmin. Lix, do you perhaps..."

Felix chuckled, "It's not what you think, Hyung. It's just... Sungie has always been important to Seungmin and me, more than anyone could ever think."

A smile curved into Changbin's lips, "Hm... so he's really important to you then."

Felix nodded slowly, "Yeah, very."

"It's all my fault... it's all my fault...!"

"Sungie... deserves to be happy after all."

One look in Felix's eyes was enough for Changbin to figure out that something deep was going in within them, and he understood that. He reached for Felix's hand and squeezed it, giving him a warm smile. "Don't worry. Someday, I'm sure everything will be alright."

"Someday... I hope."

"Somehow, I feel closer to you... ever since I discovered about that." Jisung muttered to himself as he stare at the night sky.

"I feel like I'm not alone anymore. The sadness... the pain I've been experiencing... it's starting to get better day by day when I'm with you."

He never felt so calm in his whole life since that incident happened. After several years, he finally felt so good again... like he was slowly being set free from a cage he's been stuck in since God knows when.

"Jiwoo... little by little, my heart will start to heal... until the day comes where I can come and visit you again."

Meanwhile, Minho was just on his way to his room after he has done his schoolworks downstairs. As he opened the door to his room, his brows furrowed at the sight of his important notebook on the table, with the picture on top of it. It was not supposed to be there. 

Someone must've gone through it.

He touched the notebook with his palm as he stared on it with his cold eyes. His hands later turned into a ball of fist, clenching it with so much force, as if a whole fire of rage was burning up inside him.

"Han-ah, you..."
