It didn't need a genius to know that something had happened to Jihoon, and it certainly includes Soonyoung.

The cat-loving boy tried to talk to the shorter best-friend of his, but to no avail. He's not responding to all of his attempt of talking about the topic.

It has come to a point where Jihoon could track the signs and how a topic they talk about can swerve from a very boring homework to his boyfriend.

Wonwoo couldn't do anything, because every single time he tried to, the composer stops the conversation completely and hide in his secret lair.

And so, Wonwoo wouldn't pry further. He had tried his best, and invading someone else's relationship when they don't want you to would only cause pain and hurting. If they came to him for advice, then he'll gladly help to his best.

"A candy for your thoughts?"

The voice that cuts him off from the thought, were as deep as his daydream. It was none other than the boy with an adorable snaggle-tooth and a face that resembles a puppy.

"Shouldn't it be a penny?"

The glasses boy squint at the other, not really up for games. Meanwhile the other took a sit beside him and smiled knowingly.

"Yeah, but I'm not giving you a penny. Have some candies instead."

The brown haired boy extend his hand and show opened his palm with a couple of candies on top of it. The beanie boy grabbed one that looks like it's chocolate and put it in his pocket.

"So what're you thinking about?"

Mingyu lightyly chewed on the soft candy, while trying to read the older's face expression. The latter sigh and continue looking down on his novel that is still on the same chapter and page as half an hour ago.

"Nothing important."

"It doesn't seem like it's nothing. Is it about a crush of yours? Do you like someone?"

A little nudge on his side bugged the raven haired, as he roll his eyes because his crush is right in front of him.

"No, it wasn't." Mingyu knew the older since childhood, it's pretty clear that he wasn't talking the truth.

"Yes it does. You have a crush and you didn't tell me?"

The tall boy wonder why does everyone kept secrets from him. He knew he's a bit of flippant and sometimes he blurted some things he shouldn't, but is it that bad that the person close to him wouldn't tell?

"I don't wanna talk about it"

"You know what, if I told you mine, would you tell me yours?"

Wonwoo blinked. Twice. And thrice. He couldn't believe his ears. Did he just said…

"You liked someone?" He closed his novel without putting any bookmarks. He'll probably read it from the very beginning since he didn't even remember what goes on on the book anyways.

"Oh, now you're interested?" The taller said almost in a mocking way, with his eyebrows raised.

"Who is it?" The boy in glasses furrowed his eyebrows, fail to hide the shock in his voice.

"Promise me you'll tell about yours if I told you" The other smiled triumphantly, like he had win the lottery.

"I'll pass"

Now, Mingyu looks like a puppy that isn't allowed to take a walk outside. In an instant he pouted and the black haired's heart swell in adoration.

"Okay then. No names. Just talk about why you liked them."

And so Wonwoo are seriously considering about the offer. He slowly nodded after a while and the younger beamed at his answer.

"The person I liked is really beautiful. He's probably the most beautiful person I know. I liked him because he's always there for me no matter what. Being with him feels like home"

Seeing Mingyu talked about the person he likes and the animated love flying within his eyes stirred a sickening feeling on his stomach.

He had known that Mingyu is bisexual, but the younger never really talks about boys before. It mostly consisted of some girls who confessed their love to him and he accepted.

Wonwoo could only wished the person was him. But Mingyu has a lot of people who likes him and always with him. Wonwoo isn't Mingyu's only friend, but Mingyu is one of Wonwoo's few friend.

The brown haired then looked at him, waiting for him to talk about his crush.

How could he possibly explain the person he likes, when that person is right in front of him?

And so Wonwoo does what he knows best. Being as vague as possible and reciting the summary of romance books he had read that reminded him of the boy in front of him.

"The person I likes is like the sun. He looks like a simple bright person, but in reality has many layers waiting to be explored. If he's a poem, then I know every word and letter by heart."

Not knowing who exactly they're actually talking about, the puppy-like boy felt like his heart are being pinched by something while watching his bestfriend.

|10월 27일 : 들장미 (Briar Rose) - 시 (poem)

| I'm alive guys. Not the best, but still alive. Sorry for not updating, it involved of mostly my inner procrastination soul and watching seventeen. Like, 'I'm not writing about seventeen, because I'm watching seventeen' seems like a great excuse.

I literally wrote this on my notepad "When everything goes south, do meanie." Welp.

Oh I'm just curious, but do you guys know from where did I take the cover of this story? I totally just put it there without any editing and whatsoever and found it adorable, so…
