"i really love you, thank you for being with me."

"i love you too."

seungkwan couldn't believe it. he had a hand over his mouth as he was nervously pacing around the empty living room. he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. seungkwan knew something was up with soonyoung and jihoon, but he didn't expect it to be as serious as what he saw on his phone. he knew they were closer than friends but he didn't think it was up to this extent.

soonyoung literally kissed jihoon and seungkwan is losing his mind over it. what should he do, now that he caught soonyoung cheating and he has proof? isn't this what he wanted? to prove to others that "soonhoon is happening"?

he couldn't deny that he's afraid of what might go down if he tells anybody, so he decided to keep it to himself for now.

meanwhile, mingyu entered the living room and the first thing he noticed was seungkwan's face, rigid with tension.

"hey, are you okay?"

the boy almost jumped in surprise. the first thing he did was clutch his phone close to his chest, and mingyu wondered why. "i'm fine, i'm fine, why?"

"you've been walking back and forth and i'm concerned," mingyu answered as he walked to the couch to sit. "you sure you're fine? your face is pale."

"i'm fine, i was just anxious because," seungkwan paused to think, "because the professor is about to release our test scores!"

mingyu chuckled. he couldn't believe it. "since when did you care about test scores? i know you're lying."

"i'm not lying! i had a deal with seungcheol hyung and he said he was going to do me a huge huge favor if i get a high score on my exam! it's that important to me okay?"

"well you should have said so." mingyu stood up. "have you seen minseul by the way? i'm supposed to tell her something important but i don't know where she is."

"just look around, it's not like soonyoung hyung lives in a mansion."

"ugh fine."

the moment mingyu left the room, seungkwan heaved a sigh. he looked down on his phone screen again with furrowed brows. "soonyoung hyung, you're so dead," he mumbled to himself. "but then i'm so dead too!"

the boy continued to whine to himself and lay down on the sofa. "ah jihoon hyung is going to kill me with his bare hands, i swear," he whispered. he did nothing else but think of the possible things he could do as he stared blankly at the ceiling. normally, he'd be great at coming up with crazy plans, but right now, it's different.

whatever he does, it's going to hurt someone dear to him.

telling minseul should be the first thing he should do. they're best friends. but, soonyoung is one of his best friends too, just like jihoon. (and he had seen both of them get angry before so he's scared)

seungkwan grabbed a throw pillow and buried his face in it to scream.

"ah what do i do? i don't want soonyoung hyung to throw me around the room! what do i do!?"
