He had always hated lies, and now he was lying to himself.

Kang Taehyun lied when he said that simple word.

And it burned him up inside.

The truth, however, was that he couldn't let go without lying to himself.

Yeonjun's chest felt as if someone was putting their full weight on it, as if they were strangling his air. "I don't believe you," he finally muttered, because he couldn't imagine that Taehyun had been thinking this all along. "If it were, you'd be looking at me."

"I can't." Taehyun swallowed. "Don't make me."

After that sentence, Yeonjun averted his gaze, why was it so hard to talk to the younger man?

He had closed himself off, building a protective wall that the pink-haired man couldn't reach against.

"I didn't want Beomgyu to tell you like that, I wanted to tell you myself, really," he then began. Still buzzing in his head was Taehyun's statement that they had only harmed each other. He couldn't believe the Kang would think such a thing. "But not here, and it wasn't the right time."

"I know," the brown-haired man said softly. "But it's okay. He only did it because I ..." - blame - "because I've been avoiding you guys. He's angry, I get that."

After all, he had wronged them both. Had banished both from his life without knowing the truth, so it was only understandable that it was too late.

Not only for Yeonjun, but possibly for Beomgyu as well.

"You'd better talk to him before you talk to me," Yeonjun said defeatedly. "You're best friends and I don't want to get in the middle. "He ran his hand up and down the back of his neck. "Not after you two have grown apart over my issues. You should call him on it, you know he'll ... understand." For Yeonjun, it was even more important for the two of them to get along again after witnessing how much Beomgyu had suffered.

Without lifting his eyes, Taehyun asked, "And what about you?"

He was aware of how Beomgyu's and his lives had gone through all the news.
