"Look, isn't that one of Wooyoung's new friends?" Hongjoong asks Seonghwa.

Seonghwa turns to where he's looking and sees Yeosang. "Yeah, I think." He just nods.

"Should we go mess with him a bit?"

"Why?"

"Well, he's one of Wooyoung's new friends. You know how we said we'd scare all his friends away? He doesn't deserve to have friends." Hongjoong reminds him.

"Oh... right." Seonghwa nods and Hongjoong starts walking towards Yeosang. "But wait..." Seonghwa takes his arm, stopping Hongjoong. "There's no need to scare them away so fast. Let's just leave him alone for now."

"But you were the one that suggested to scare that San guy away."

"Yeah, but not now... come on, let's go to class."

"To class?" Hongjoong asks, surprised. "You haven't gone to this class in weeks... or was it months?"

"Yeah, but... it'll be no fun if I end up failing, you know? I should start going."

"Alright, see you later then." He says and Seonghwa just nods before walking to his class.

When he gets to his class, he ends up getting there a little late and there's barely any empty seats. The only empty seat he notices is the one next to Yeosang. Seonghwa makes his way to the seat and sits down.

"Why?" Seonghwa hears Yeosang ask, which startles him.

"Why what?"

"Why do you bully Wooyoung?"

"I don't bully him, I just don't like him." Seonghwa rolls his eyes.

"What you do to him is called bullying. Whether he's your cousin or not, it doesn't matter. That's bullying."

"So?"

"So?" Yeosang asks in disbelief. "Back then, when I was getting bullied, you-"

"Don't bring that up." Seonghwa stops him. "I was different back then."

"Why can't you still be like that? What's stopping you?"

"There's no need for me to give you any explanations." Seonghwa takes his notebook out and turns away from Yeosang. Yeosang just shakes his head and sighs before taking his notebook out.

"San, can I talk to you?" San hears behind him and immediately recognizes the voice.

"What do you want?" Wooyoung asks him.

"I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to San." He glares at him before looking at San again. "Can we talk?"

"Okay." San nods. He doesn't want his friendship with Yunho to end, so maybe they can fix things.

"Could we talk without him here?" Yunho asks San since Wooyoung's still here.

"Woo, please leave us alone."

"Will you be okay?" He asks and San nods. "Are you sure?"

"I'll be okay."

"Okay." Wooyoung glares at Yunho before walking away.

San walks towards a bench and sits down. Yunho follows him and sits down next to him. "I'm really sorry." He looks down. "I'm sorry for being like this. I'm sorry for being a jerk instead of telling you how I felt... And I'm sorry for liking you. I ruined everything."

"No, don't say that." San shakes his head. "Don't apologize for that." He sighs. "It's not like you can choose who to like."

"I know that." He nods. "But you probably always saw me as a brother since we basically grew up together. So I'm sorry for not seeing you that way."

"And I'm sorry for being so oblivious." San apologizes. "I thought that when you'd get annoyed when I'd talk about Wooyoung, it was because you were jealous... but in a different way. I thought that it was in a friend way."

"I did see you as only a friend at first, of course. We've been friends for twelve years now."

"When did that change?" San asks, curiously. He doesn't know if he should be asking him this, but he doesn't want to change the subject and make it seem like he's ignoring his feelings.

"Around the time that Wooyoung started stealing roses from your garden. That was around the time you started having a crush on him and I realized I liked you."

"Why didn't you just tell me?"

"It's not easy." Yunho sighs. "You couldn't even say hi to Wooyoung at the time, so how did you expect me to confess my feelings for you?"

"You're right." San looks down.

"But please... let's change the subject. I need to be mature and realize that if you don't like me back, you don't like me back. I shouldn't get angry at you for rejecting me." He looks up at San again. "We can't let our twelve years of friendship just end like that, right? Please be my friend again. I promise I'll respect your feelings."

"You never stopped being my friend, Yunho. I forgive you."

Okay, I promise next chapter will be a Woosan one. I just needed Yunsan to be on good terms again
