a/n: annyeong readers~

so i was rereading this story-usually that's what i do when i'm about to update a story-and i realized that this chapter is kind of bothering me. i feel like the characters are overreacting a little bit so i'm going to go over it and change a lot, i'm almost rewriting the whole thing except it's still the same..? you'll see what i mean. anyways, i'm sorry if this notification bothered you! but if you've already read this before i suggest you reread, this chapter will be written better i promise. <3 i also might be editing more than just this chapter.

     "why did you turn his offer down, joong?" yunho asked. hongjoong shrugged his shoulders, trying to avoid answering the question. even if he was used to yunho asking him all these questions, each time he refused someone's help even though he needed it made him feel stupid.

     "you know why.. it's pointless and i can't be helped." hongjoong says, grabbing a nearby pillow from his couch to hug. "stupid, you could actually have a chance at passing but you threw it away. are you sure there's no other reason you turned him down?" hongjoong scoffed in annoyance.

     "like what?" hongjoong asked, "do you like him? or.. do you hate him?" yunho asked.

     "how about neither?" hongjoong suggested. "i just don't like it when people i don't usually    talk to approach me you know that. especially because of the reason he did, it's obviously he feels bad for me and i hate it."

     "stop being stupid and learn common sense." yunho sighed, "you could keep pushing seonghwa away and fail her class, or you could reconsider his kindness and pass the class. which one sounds appealing to you? choose wisely." yunho says, smiling at hongjoong.

     "is that even a question?" 

     "hongjoong." 

     "what?" 

     "i already know which answer you want to choose, i know well. but don't you think you should think this over and choose the best answer and not just the one you like? i know how you are but it's your future." yunho said.

     "you are right," hongjoong admits, "but can you give me more time to think about it?"

     yunho snickers, "i'm not seonghwa, hongjoong. i'm your best friend and i'm only helping you choose what's best for you. so if you change your mind, tell seonghwa." he smiles at hongjoong reassuringly, the boy returning the same warmth back. "thank you yunho, i'll let you know what i decide."

     yunho nods, "fighting!" smiling at his bestfriend.

     "i can do it!" hongjoong replies, both boys holding up fists. shortly after hongjoong slowly retreats his hands and his smile fades. "that was so not like me lol."

     "did you just use "lol"?"

     "hush, you heard nothing." hongjoong smiles softly, both the boys giggling at hongjoong's funny choice of words. yunho catches his breath before rising up from his seat and grabbing his back pack, he turns to his friend with a smile. "i should get going now, think over it carefully okay?" hongjoong nods. "bye yunho, thank you for hanging out with me."

     "anytime." yunho replies, waving at hongjoong and walking out the front door closing it behind him. he turned back once and said, "i really hope you ask for his help.." before leaving hongjoong's house and heading back to his own.
