Seduce Me {GNCD (Golden Child) Joochan}

<10>

Rushingly I had run to Seungmins house in the middle of the night. I got startled so much I left without doing further thinking. The fact that the normally silent Seungmin wanted me to go to him because something was wrong, meant that there was actually something bad going on.

Before I knew it I stood in front of his front door, ringing the bell impatiently, shivering a bit because of the cold outside. 

"Seungmin!" I yelled as the door was opened not a second later, Seungmin stepping outside and hugging me tightly. "I thought I could deal with it without pulling anyone into my problem," He sniffled, "But when I tried to act normal I couldn't. Not after what he did. No, what they did."

My mouth fell open as I got very eager to know what was going on. However, the most important thing was to help out Seungmin, so I pulled him inside and closed the door, making way to the couch to sit more comfortably.

"Before I tell you.." Seungmin hestitated, "I don't want this to ruin our friendship and all," he was already at the verge of crying, so I gave him a reassuring look. "You can tell me, don't worry," I smiled, but he shook his head, "No, I said it wrong.." He paused, "Our friendship will change, but I don't want it to change negatively," he went silent and sat on the couch. "Actually, I don't even know if telling you would make the situation better."

I didn't know what to do except for telling Seungmin everything was going to be fine. After a silence he moved closer to me with a serious look that broke my heart just by seeing him: "It's about Jaehyun," he broke the silence, "Jaehyun, h-he," Seungmin started to cry. "J-jaehyun is in love with Y."

Again silence took over the room, but this time it was an expected silence. I was absolutely baffled - I couldn't get a word out of my throat. Jaehyun liked Y? How? When? Why? Was that the reason why he suddenly left the party? Or why he acted so silent around Y and Seungmin all the time?

"I-I heard Jaehyun talking to s-some friend of his at the party," he wiped away a tear, "And he asked why Jaehyun wore the pink suit and all," he continued, "a-and then he said he wore it because Y told him pink looked good on him," Seungmin grabbed a tissue as his crying got worse. "And then his friend asked him if he l-liked why and then... then he said yes." 

I stared at him with open eyes while hugging him tightly. I started to cry with him. "The worst thing is," Seungmin cried on my shoulder, "t-that I'm not even mad, instead, I'm feeling guilty to my bones," he wiped away some new tears, trying to keep my shirt clean, but some tears had already fallen on it. "I'm f-feeling guilty because if I had known, I never would have approached Y.. After all, Jaehyun's always been alone, never had a crush before," I started to shake my head as Seungmin told me these words.

"No, Seungmin. You did nothing wrong. It's not your fault. Plus, if it's really true, then it's Jaehyuns problem for not being honest with us," I patted his head, "Plus, Y likes you too, right?" I pulled away and smiled at him for confirmation as he nodded shyly, "Yes, he told me."

I smiled and hugged him shortly before standing up and grabbing some drinks. "Let's just try to sleep some, okay? I'll stay here with you," I suggested as he smiled thankfully.

"When monday's school again," he said, "Please don't act any different around him. He is still our friend after all." I nodded, took a sip of my drip and started to prepare the matrass I would sleep on.

It seemed like that in the friend group I was in, where love was never discussed, suddenly everyone had issues with just that one unspoken subject. I started to wonder how close we actually were as friends. If we were so close, why couldn't we talk about love, too?

Or was there another reason why we never spoke about love with each other?
