(A/N; Long-ish chapter ahead!)

Third Person POV

Sunwoo was right, that incident was something Heiji nor Seoho would ever let go. He didn't care about Seoho's feelings towards him, they weren't important to him. Heiji's however, were a completely different story.

It's been a few weeks since, and Sunwoo has done everything in his power to avoid either of them. Partially because of his guilt, and partially because he was scared of two things. One, seeing Heiji look at him as if he was the person he used to be in high school, the one thing he wanted her not to think of him. And two, he didn't want punched by Seoho again.

Yup, after the incident, Heiji dragged Seoho out of the restaurant and phoned him a taxi straight away. He did leave, however, he managed to sober himself up in a few hours and headed back once everyone had texted the group chat to say they had gotten home. 

He waited for Sunwoo outside his car, and as Sunwoo approached asking what he was doing, he punched him straight in the centre of his face before walking off. 

Sunwoo would never usually not fight back, something that Heiji and Seoho knew themselves from school, and this made Seoho feel somewhat powerful and Sunwoo inferior. 

From then on, Sunwoo took a break from the soccer team. He knew Seoho had probably gotten too big for his boots and boasted about his achievement to everyone on the team, making everyone turn against him. But when he returned after three weeks, that wasn't the case. 

Walking around the changing room, he finally sees Seoho in the corner and avoids his glance after he catches him looking right back at him. "Hey, Sunwoo."

"Yeah?" Sunwoo tries to say casually, not wanting to attract the attention of everyone else in the room.

"Can we talk?"

Sunwoo's eyes nearly bulge out of his head at his words, not out of fear, but shock that he would even consider talking to him ever again. "Sure."

"I'm sorry," he starts, eyeing Sunwoo, "for starting on you like that, however, I'm not sorry for punching you."

Sunwoo nods slowly. "I deserved it, it's fine."

"I just want to know," Seoho gulps, looking down at the ground before looking back at him, "what did you mean by 'one night'?"

"It's nothing like you think it is," Sunwoo tries to reassure him, but Seoho still doesn't feel relieved at his words. "Didn't you talk to her about this?"

"She won't talk to me about any of it," Seoho says before drifting off slightly. "I know you liked her a little, I always seen you around her whenever I wasn't there."

Sunwoo stays silent. As much as he doesn't care what Seoho thinks or feels, he somewhat appreciated him speaking to him.

"And thing's are getting better between us," Sunwoos mood dampens get again at those words as Seoho straightens his back and speaks with more confidence than he had just. "And you should probably focus on getting your own back on track, considering you pursued another girl behind her back."
