STUDY BUDDIES. | hajeongwoo

26.

(same time as before.)

jeongwoo laid down his bed, face upwards as his gaze met the ceiling. heaving a heavy sigh, he went silent for a moment aside from his mind that was full of chaotic thoughts and what ifs.

the only thing he's sure is that he had fun hanging out him, he's one step closer today, and that he likes him.

just the thought of his name made him squeal and jump in happiness. he does, he likes him, and he's still into him after all those years and denials.

what can ever stop him from admiring the same person for such a long time? suddenly all the bad thoughts he had about him, all the desperation and pain he felt back then was replaced by the present. never, and by he mean by that, never was haruto so happy with him before.

squealing in ecstasy once again, he took his pillow and buried his face to hide the embarrassment. muffles were heard, fantasizing about all the things that could ever happen in the future.

haruto calling his name seems so dulcet, and it could already make his heart burst with joy. is that the impact that haruto left?

just before jeongwoo could dig deeper to his dreams and imsginations, a knock was heard from the outside of his room.

and not just a normal knock, it was so loud as if someone was already barging, begging for him to immediately open up and confront.

irritated by the noise it created, jeongwoo hissed as he hurriedly went through the door to halt the most annoying noise he had heard today. not to mention, it ruined his cloud nine, right when he was already happy enough to forget everything.

turning the knob, jeongwoo opened the door open with a scowl, seeing three males even at the middle of a seemingly useless argument. jeongwoo scanned them for a moment, immediately realizing who the lads were right when he opened the door.

in disbelief, he scoffed before attempting to close the door once again, not having enough patience to welcome them into his home.

"oh, what are you doing? how disrespectful, park jeongwoo!" a high-pitched voice echoed through the hallway of his apartment building.

jeongwoo shook his head in disapproval, already in pure tiredness to even deal with their exhilarations.

"what are you doing here? its late! go home!" jeongwoo exclaimed, mustering all the strength he could have to push the other away from him but unfortunately failed to do so.

giving up, he sighed in defeat as he glared at the three.

"woah, scary," the other retorted, voice in a monotony as he went inside his apartment without even his consent.

the other two followed, cackles heard as they continued to enter the territory. jeongwoo, frustrated and in agitation, stomped his feet in annoyance as he could only see them enter his place without being able to do anything.

figuring out that he needed to extend his minimal patience to deal with such dorks that just recently entered his apartment, he sighed for the second time in utter defeat.

he went inside his room, seeing the three comfortably lie down and occupy his living room made his agitation rush up right through the top of his sanity. but nonetheless, he cared for them, just not at this very moment.

seeing the male rush up to the kitchen and open up his fridge to look for food without consent, again, jeongwoo ruffled his locks as he looked at the others with nothing but disbelief.

"hey, kim junkyu! don't just open my fridge when i did not tell you to do so!"

rolling his eyes, junkyu averted his gaze at the leftovers placed at the table before looking up at the irritated male with a suspicious look.

raising his brow, he pointed at the meal with the intention of knowing where it came from and when to eat it. "were you having a feast or did you eat with someone else?"

jeongwoo was taken aback, of course, with junkyu being himself and notice even the slightest difference when it comes to food and anything related.

he gazed at him, not minding the other two who was up to stupidity and chaos that would ruin his apartment just a few minutes away, junkyu's filling with suspicion but the desire to devour overlapped his bravado.

"god, go eat it already, hyung!" jeongwoo rolled his eyes, but somehow unfortunate to get away from junkyu's question, if that's what he thought.

suddenly doyoung coughed intentionally, signalling for a more depth explanation of why there was an abundant amount of food in his table when he don't even eat that much and lives alone in his apartment.

"what?" jeongwoo turned to look at him, seeing the other raise his eyebrows as he beg for an explanation.

knowing that the others are trusted, and there's no point in hiding what just happened, he opened his mouth and explain his side.

"i was with haruto."
