[ 14 years old jaemin ]

i was in front of their house's gates thinking about what should i do now that i'm here again. later on my face lit up after seeing hyuck going out from the front door. but seems like he didn't noticed me at all so i called him, waving my hands in the air.

he was holding a big box and he looked at me with confusion, like he isn't used to see me in this place. he dropped the box with some other boxes in front the garage door, walking towards me, "what brought you here?" he asked opening the gates.

"i'm always here... before." i whispered the latter. i couldn't tell him that i just missed him and i wanna hangout with him or just play video games, lay on his bed the whole day.

"i know but it's been a while since you last went here." he was scratching his right ear.

it's because i was jealous and such because he got new friends and left me behind and everytime i try to visit him like this, he's always not around, playing soccer with friends and what more?

i just sighed at let out a chuckle, "you missed me too didn't you?" i said nudging him.

"it's not like i do... we're both suffering puberty." and he laughed like he's used to it. cause little did i remembered, he just giggle, scoff and things like that.

"yeah i'm getting taller than you." i tapped his head.

"i bet you do it a lot." and he laughed again.

i don't know why i like it despite being so unusual of us.

my eyes suddenly went to the boxes asking, "what were those by the way?" i hope they're not leaving, no they won't.

"oh uhm.. just stuffs that we don't need anymore and needs to be junked away. could you help me? i still got two boxes up there." he pointed inside of the house.

what does he mean?

i walked towards them and opened one of them. i was surprised seeing his toys, even my robot toy back then, everything's in here, even his old video games. i looked back at him but he was already going back inside.

i got in with the robot toy on my hand and his ironman figurine which was his favourite. i went upstairs to his room but i was shocked to see two other boys laying their belly on his bed, playing with his video game.

i slowly hid the toys on my back, it'd be embarrassing if they'd see me on their age, holding such thing like this. but i jolted hearing hyuck's voice from my back.

"let's go." he was carrying a box and there was another on the side. i just picked it up and helped him.

"who are they? why aren't they helping you anyway?" i asked him as we dropped the boxes.

"just my friends, and as you saw earlier, they were too busy." he chuckled.

"then why are they here?" i asked again.

"because they are my friends, jaemin. what? is there anything wrong about that?" he threw me back a question that made me step aback.

"n-nothing." why am i acting like this right now anyways. what am i trying to pull out, it's ridiculous, a friend shouldn't be jealous of a friend that's it.

"what's that?" he eyed the toys i was holding.

"oh uh.. i just thought that we should keep it because-" my eyes widened when he roughly took it from me and throwing it back to the box where it belonged.

"what? stop being childish jaemin, what if someone sees you holding a toy? they'd laugh at you! and why are you even trying to save those? it's not like they're that important." he scoffed, turning his back from me.

what did he just told me right now? why does it sting me through? why is he turning his back at me just now? shouldn't he offer me to go inside and play with them?

"hyuck-"

"get back home, don't stay outside that long, aunt- your mom shouldn't worry about you." he scoffed again. that was an insult, i know, but why?

at first i thought i'll never get to talk to him so i even wished for this but, can a wish be taken back? it was a lot better if i didn't went here and hoped for a talk at all.
