play : eyes off you by prettymuch
chanhee heard y/n's cries through the wall of his bathroom whilst he was brushing his hair. his bathroom was on the other side of juyeon's bedroom, his bedroom was on the other side of y/n's and his parents' bedroom was on the other side of younghoon's bedroom.
his heart broke hearing her cry about that guy. the guy who used to be his best friend. he wanted both him and y/n to be happy so that's why he said nothing all those years ago. if he said that he liked y/n too, which he did and still does, maybe it would have changed something. maybe she could have been with chanhee instead, and not get her heart broken.
chanhee felt guilty for keeping in contact with haknyeon whilst he was in jeju. the person that caused her so much pain. but he only did this to make sure he stayed as far away from y/n as possible, so she wouldn't have to face heartbreak every time she saw him. even though when haknyeon came to seoul there wasn't much he could do to stop him.
so chanhee did their secret code on the wall, to let her know that he was coming over. he basically just let himself in the house at this point, he was so used to visiting practically every day. they'd lived in that house nearly all of their life, with him next door.
"who are you?" a man asked, appearing from around the corner. chanhee presumed this must have been y/n's stepfather, as they hadn't actually met yet. y/n's mother and this man had only been married for ten weeks. and he didn't seem to be home an awful lot.
"oh, annyeonghaseyo, my name is choi chanhee. i'm y/n's friend. nice to meet you," chanhee said, bowing.
"ok, she's upstairs." he said. he sounded very dismissive, as if y/n didn't really matter to him at all.
"y/n, i'm here! i brought cookies!" chanhee said, holding up some lotte cookies he had stolen from his brother's bedroom. his brother was twenty eight but still lived with his parents so he could look after them.
"chanhee!!" she said, running to him and hugging him. chanhee was also another person who was always there for y/n, no matter what.
"i can beat this bitch up for you if you like, i've been working out, you see," he said, flexing his not very existent arm muscles, making y/n giggle.
"i love you, choi chanhee. you're the best,"
but chanhee couldn't help but wish she meant those words in another way.
