PURPLE RAIN

YUNHO
– ### –

Nervousness.

It was what kept the whole ride really awkward. No one is talking, and they weren't sure if all of them is still breathing. Their heart beats too much than the usual, and their eyes are looking away from each other trying to avoid any topic that might be said.

It was like crickets has been passing by and it was all they hear. Yunho's not even looking to his boyfriend, who was holding his hands while driving to Heongso. Yeosang and the oldest– Hongjoong, is sitting behind them on the passenger seat where their windows are rolled down and their eyes are focusing somewhere else. What is this atmosphere? Yunho can't understand.

The same road passed by, curving to the same curves and passing by the same trees they saw so many times already – especially Yunho that was at Heongso not that long time ago – and the same traffic lights are lighting the road from the poles. Wooyoung is holding his boyfriend's hands and he is the first one to talk among them.

"Hongjoong-hyung." The small guy called, "Why do you even want to go here?" Wooyoung asked, his irritation and slight doubt is obvious from the tone of his voice.

They almost forgot. Mingi also lives here in the same town. Sure, it wasn't an intention but Hongjoong felt bad for only remembering it now.

"I wanted to talk to Seonghwa." The red haired only replied.

Yeosang glanced at the older, surprised and looked back outside where he watches the birds fly off from the trees. He smiles and spoke.

"Why? You know he already has a pretty boyfriend." He kind of scoffed a little like he was disgusted. "Wait, are you gay?" Yeosang asked, still looking outside his rolled-window with adoring eyes.

Yunho looked at Wooyoung but the smaller only smiled, trying to assure the boy that he's fine. Wooyoung glanced from the rear-view mirror and the red haired at the back seat looked nervous for a minute. But Hongjoong sighs and answered in a quiet voice.

"I just want to talk. It's something personal– I kind of... caused pain on him." He said.

And he also knew Yeosang would be the most disappointed person in the room to know the truth. He's afraid to tell it loudly in front of them– he has to wait 'till they're at Seonghwa's place and maybe then, Hongjoong can explain fully what happened without seeing how bad Yeosang's reaction can be. He's afraid of disappointing the blonde but he has no right to tell.

It's not like he left the tall blonde– Seonghwa –just because he fell out of love. Hongjoong was confused, and still is, but it wasn't even about his sexuality. His three friends didn't knew he's gay– (well, he is pansexual) Hongjoong doesn't want this to go on a different lane.

Yunho stares outside the window when the car turned on the same convenient store where Jongho was working at. And it's good that they all got in the same time as that buff-boy's shift. Wooyoung was told to stop the car, so he did, and the tallest ran towards the store, opening it wide and greeting Jongho from inside.

"What are you doing here?" Jongho asks as soon as the tallest came inside the door, looking behind Yunho and realized that he wasn't alone. "What are you all doing here?" He laughs but not awkwardly.

"I'm here to visit a friend." Hongjoong answered and Jongho smiles mischievously as if he knew what's happening.

Yeosang and Yunho was confused but Wooyoung dragged Yeosang out onto the stalls to get foods they're going to buy. The two of them were running everywhere and grabbing ever chip that they see from the stalls, throwing it onto the basket that Yeosang is handling annoyingly.
