"I Always Give In"

"So how was your date? Never got to ask last week," Jongho asked sarcastically the minute Yeosang entered the classroom and had taken his seat. Yeosang rolled his eyes, taking out his notebook from his bag.

"It wasn't a date," he said in a cold tone. "Is there a problem wanting to hang out with my friend?"

Jongho chuckled, resting his head on his palm and turning to his left to face Yeosang. "Friend my ass, he's using you." Jongho singsonged the last part.

"Please shut the fuck up. You're getting annoying." Yeosang pushed Jongho's elbow further away from him and rested his own elbow on their shared desk, looking straight ahead of him to ignore the younger.

"Then tell me about your hangout?" Jongho now rested his head on both palms, blinking multiple times as his small, gummy smile began to spread across his face, trying to portray innocence and interest in the elder's hangout with Jongho's competition- er, friend, the elder's hangout with Yeosang's friend.

Although Yeosang tried to avoid Jongho, he couldn't escape his signature smile, internally cooing at him and growing the urge to hug him. But he restrained himself, making sure not to open up to the other.

"Jongho, I was really starting to consider you as more than a classmate, an acquaintance, maybe even a friend," Yeosang dramatically paused when he noticed Jongho's sudden change in expression and turned to face him. "But now, you're back to base zero and are just some creepy stranger I'm forced to sit next to." Yeosang smirked and turned back towards the front.

Jongho immediately began to shake his head, "N-no, I'm sorry. P-please f-forgive me." He stuttered. "I suck at conversing with people that make me nervous..." Jongho mumbled the last part, making sure Yeosang didn't really catch it since he unintentionally let it out.

"You suck at conversing with people that what?" Yeosang questioned, but Jongho shook his head, pointing towards the front where the teacher stood. Yeosang huffed, "This conversation isn't over," he whispered.

————————

"Thanksgiving is next week," Jongho stated as he split his apple in half without purpose. "Are you doing anything?" He bit into his apple.

"Maybe, we might just cook something and watch a movie." Yeosang shrugged, looking around the lunchroom in search of Seonghwa who he hasn't seen in a couple days or more.

"Who's 'we'? You're family?" Jongho asked.

"Well who else?" Yeosang giggled, rolling his eyes at what Jongho said.

"It could've been anyone!" Jongho pouted. It could've been Seonghwa.

"Nah, kinda wanted to invite Seonghwa but he's got his own family." Yeosang sighed, obviously missing the elder. Jongho tried not to scream, so he changed the subject, looking at the two empty seats besides them.

"Why don't you invite Wooyoung?" Yeosang looked over at the empty seats next to them, sighing. For a while, he's been forgetting about Wooyoung. He didn't do it intentionally, but he had put all his attention on Seonghwa ever since the elder had came back from Arizona at the end of September, that he forgot to share that attention with his other friend too. Maybe Yeosang complained too much about being left behind by Seonghwa when he was doing the same thing to Wooyoung.
