Feelings

2

When Sunwoo walked onto campus the next day, he heard all kinds of whispering and snickering. He couldn't hear it fully, but it got louder and clearer the father that he walked.

"Aww little baby Sunwoo tried to ask Chanhee out? Thats so lame. He does know that he's only 15 right?"

"Bro that'd be pedophilia! At least Chanhee has common sense."

Sunwoo could feel the tears that were threatening to spill. How did they know? Chanhee wouldn't tell them, right? No, he wouldn't. Sunwoo knew him well enough to the point where he knew that Chanhee was not one for engaging in gossip. He also knew that none of Chanhee's cool friends would gossip because Chanhee was very picky about who he told stuff to. Sunwoo just ran off to the bathrooms to hide until his class started.

Sunwoo was looking in the mirror when he saw Kevin come in. He didn't mind because he knew that Kevin would protect him from the rumors. All of Chanhee's super cool older friends loved Sunwoo as if he was their little brother.

"Hey, Sunnie. You okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"I know you heard what they were saying. I'm sorry. We've been trying to figure out how it got out, but its no use at this point."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter anyways. They have a point. You guys are 17. I'm only 15. This whole thing is wrong anyways."

"You know what, Sunnie? Its okay to have feelings for people. And in your case, you're with Chanhee all the time so I don't balme you. I know first hand what it feels like. Look at me and Jacob hyung. There's a year between us. Two years isn't a big deal, it just seems like a lot when you think about the school part of it. So don't worry too much, love."
