Jisung hadn't left his room in a good 3 or 4 days. To be completely honest he wasn't sure why he was bothered by this so much. It's not like they were like together or anything...

And it wasn't like Jisung even liked him.

No.

He didn't.

He had Jungkook, why would he need Hyunjin.

Jisung rolled over in his bed groaning as he stuffed his head into his pillow. A knock came on his door and he grumbled a half hearted come in. Jisung heard the door open but he was too disheartened to look up.

"Ji- Jisung I swear to god get your ass up." The voice of his friend Seungmin entered his ears.

Jisung sat up, looking at his two friends with the most unenthused expression. Jeongin, the youngest of the three, came over and crawled onto Jisung's bed, wrapping him in a hug.

"Where have you been Ji." he asked, doing his best to comfort his hyung.

"He's been here stupid." Seungmin deadpanned, joining them on the bed and flicking the youngers forehead.

Jeongin let go of Jisung and stuck his tongue out at Seungmin.

"Obviously but I mean what's wrong." Jeongin rolled his eyes.

"It's really a long story..." Jisung trailed off, wondering if he should tell them.

"Go ahead." Seungmin said, scooting in closer and motioning for Jeongin to do the same. "We have time."

Jisung sighed and began to explain to them the events that had taken place a week ago. He, however, left out the part about Hyunjin being a prostitute and instead said that he had given Jisung his number when they first met. He was sure Hyunjin would appreciate him telling his friends about his "job".

"So he suggested that I cheat on him back. For revenge you know. And so we ended up doing, you know, the dir-"

"Hold up." Seungmin said, stopping the boy. "What was this guys name?"

"Hyunjin." Jisung answered.

A gasp came from Jeongin. "Hyunjin? Like HWANG Hyunjin?"

"yeah why?" Jisung titled his head in confusion. "Do you know him?"

"You're telling me, that you had sex. with. my. BROTHER?!"

—

Hyunjin stretched and yawned as he entered his home.

"HYUNJIN YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" Hyunjin looked up to find an angry Jeongin standing in the middle of the hallway.

"Innie I'm tired, can we talk later?" Hyunjin said, pushing past his younger brother and making his way to his room.

Jeongin, however was not having it. He followed his brother into his room. "Don't you 'Innie' me. I just got back from my friends house."

"Seungmin?" Hyunjin asked.

"Jisung."

Hyunjin froze.

"Han Jisung."

Hyunjin cringed. He had to play it off, there was no Jisung would tell him anything. Right?

"He told all about your little... escapade." Jeongin said, hands on his hips as he glared at his older brother.

"Can we not talk about this right now Jeongin? I'm tired." Hyunjin repeated, with more force.

For the past four days he tried his best not to think about the boy. He tried not to replay how hurt he looked when Hyunjin turned him away. He had hoped by ignoring it it would all go away.

"No." Jeongin insisted. "We are talking about this right now."

Jeongin grabbed Hyunjins hand, leading him to sit on the bed.

"Hyung, you might not realize it, that or you're refusing to come to terms with it, but you really hurt him." Jeongin started. Hyunjin sighed. He knew.

"I know Jeongin trust me I do. But I can't. And you, being his friend, should know that. Staying around him would only hurt both of us, he has Jungkook. And I have my own stuff to take care of. Us being friends just wasn't meant to work out." Hyunjin explained you Jeongin what he had been trying to convince himself these past few days.

"You sound like you're trying to convince yourself rather than me." Jeongin snorted. Hyunjin looked down. It wasn't everyday you get scolded by your younger brother.

"You and I both know that's not true." Jeongin continued. "You heard how toxic their relationship is, he's been cheating on him for months and he still is even after they both agreed not to. We thought Jisung was sad because Jungkook was still cheating on him. Turns out we were wrong."

"What does his boyfriend cheating on him have to do with me anyways." Hyunjin tried to reason.

"You made him feel like he could stand up to him. He only decided to confront him after you helped him realize he deserved more than that. And that gave him the confidence to confront him. If it hadn't been for you he n-"

"JEONGIN! Jeongin stop. Jungkook and Jisung's relation isn't my business and nor is yours. Jisung made his own decision to confront him and he made his own decision to stay with him. Jungkook told me to stay away from Jisung and that's what i'm going to do. I got in the way of their relationship once already and it doesn't sit well with me." Hyunjin said. "Also if you were best friends when Jisung why didn't you recognize Jungkook when he came to the door that day?"

"Because Jisung never told us about him."

"Some friend huh." Hyunjin scoffed, pulling a jacket over his shoulders.

"He's my best friend hyung. And I respect his decision to not tell Seungmin and I. He did tell us something very interesting about you though."

Hyunjin froze again. Jisung wouldn't. Would he?

"Hyung please stop. It's not healthy, not to mention it's not legal." Jeongin pleaded.

Hyunjin was unable to meet his eyes. Shame flooded just senses, anger too. He had done everything to avoid Jeongin knowing. He trusted Jisung. Yet here they were.

"Hyung please. If that's where you're going right now, please don't go. Just stay here, we can watch a movie or something. Maybe invite Felix and Chan over? Just please don't go hyung..."

"You want to eat don't you?" Hyunjin said cooly, anger evident in his voice.

He turned his back on his younger brother, not being able to stand it any more, and left the apartment.
