"Yeah Hyung, it's pretty obvious. Everyone could tell you were lying." Beomgyu sighs, resting his head on his hand. "Huh, really?" Yeonjun asks.

The chestnut scoffs and says, "You look away when you lie. Every time we ask you if you're alright, you say yes but avoid eye contact. What's really bothering you?"

The blue-haired hesitates. He would never say anything to burden his friends with his problems, but he also doesn't want to make them upset or disappointed in him. After all, he was their Hyung and therefore a role model to them.

"Soobin-ssi came to look for me at work today. I-" "Okay, we've heard enough. What's his address again?" Taehyun grabs his jacket and heads to the door. "No! Don't go to his house! I'm still not sure if it was me he had wanted to see, but I'm sure that if it was, he had good intentions. Let's not jump to conclusions, alright?"

"Hyung, are you sure you don't need us to help with anything?" Hueningkai softly asks with concern. "Of course, I'm your Hyung, remember? I should be the one helping you. Don't worry, I can handle my problems." Yeonjun smiles, his eyes slightly disappearing.

After everything was settled, the four make their way to get some bubble tea, because as the maknae says, "You can never have enough bubble tea." Originally, Taehyun had disagreed, saying that they had school the next day and getting bubble tea would just give them all a sugar rush, but later giving in when Beomgyu begged on his knees.

"Yah, twenty-five percent sugar only, you hear me?" Taehyun reminds everyone irritably. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I can't wait to try the new caramel flavoured tea they got!" Hueningkai sighs dreamily as he pauses his skipping for a moment.

As everyone continues chatting, Yeonjun couldn't help but let his mind wander elsewhere. He still couldn't forgive himself for hitting Soobin, not considering his feelings before getting into a fight and making him cry. But why's his hair pink? Did he suddenly turn from a good kid to a rebellious teenager? If so, did Yeonjun have something to do with it?

Many questions are running through his head right now, but he decides to ignore them and get his head back to the real world. They weren't important anyway. "Hey, Hyung?" Hueningkai speaks up. "Uhm, yes?"

"Are you alright? Do you need to talk or something?" he stares at the older with concerned eyes. Yeonjun's heart melted, he couldn't help but feel soft towards the younger. "No, Hyung is okay. I told you that before, remember?" he grins at him, again not wanting to burden his dongsaeng.

"Okay, but just know that I'm here for you." the taller gives him a small hug and continues to chat with the others. Yeonjun smiles and continues on. He couldn't worry his little brothers about his problems, could he? Even more of a reason to stay quiet.

Soobin sighs and falls onto his bed as soon as he enters his bedroom. He still can't believe that his very first friend would avoid him. At this point, were they even friends anymore? They were distant and not once since the confession talked, except for in the store.

He even dyed his hair to get Yeonjun to talk to him. If that wasn't enough, he doesn't know what to do anymore. He'd have officially lost his first ever friend, and all because he couldn't spare Yeonjun the pain of rejection.

Hot tears blossom on Soobin's eyelids as he opens his phone to try messaging the blue-haired again. He wants to let him know that he cares, he still cares about him so much even though he said no. A lot happened during their friendship, and those happy memories are all thrown away just because of his selfishness.
