005: A PLAYBOY CARES FOR NO ONE BUT HIMSELF.

"sunghoon, it might seem like we are, but we aren't friends."

"don't speak to me when theres others around"

"i cant have them see im talking to a... person like you.."

the words repeated in sunghoons mind.

we arent friends.
dont speak to me.
cant have them see.

it's always been this way, so why does it hurt so bad?

sunghoon should've known that yang jungwon, the schools big bad playboy would do this to him.

they spoke once and he already got too attached, isnt that funny?

whatever, it's not like he'd see yang for a while. sunghoon has been feeling off for these past days, so he decided he'd take leave and stay at home.

jay would come by often and drop off the work that sunghoon missed, and sunghoon appreciated jay for that. but he didn't even feel right with his own best friend because of jungwon.

"hes the schools playboy, why does his opinion affect me so... badly..?" sunghoon sighed and picked up a cereal box on the island counter that was leaning upon, reading articles from the school newspaper.

he unwrapped the effortless seal on the package of cereal and took a handful of the tiny loops of joy into his bedroom where he continued scrolling on his phone.

until he saw something that he never thought he'd see in his life, especially coming from a prestigious school like his.

"yang jungwon and park jay found fighting near the entrance of campus."

his eyes widened, and he accidentally dropped the cereal in his hand in an attempt to quickly call jay about what had happened.

his heartbeat quickened as he quickly switched back to the screen displaying information about the news while the call continued to ring.

his breathing became abnormal as nothing in the long text pertained to the state of either jungwon or jay. only saying that one of them was taken into the hospital.

when he heard jays coughing on the other end of the call, it felt like all the pressure was released out of his body.

"jay?" he breathed out, hoping to hear jays oh so familiar voice.

"hey, sunghoon?" jay spoke, and sunghoon was delighted. he sported a wide smile and sat down on his bed, ready to chat away with the other male.

"er, how are you? what... what even happened?" sunghoon shakily voiced, jay chuckled in a raspy way and breathed in.

"that son of a bitch, yang jungwon. he was asking around for where you were and I happened to overhear, so i asked him what his business with you was, and the cunt dragged me to the front of the-" out of nowhere, jay spiralled into a fit of coughing. sunghoon waited patiently for him to continue, surprised that jungwon was looking for him but also shocked that he was the reason why they were fighting in the first place.

"sorry, as I was saying, he dragged me to the entrance since there were barely any teachers there for some reason and started to yell at me for caring. is he stupid? he should know im your best friend.." and then it hit sunghoon. he completely forgot, jungwon didn't know that jay and sunghoon wrre best friends and he missed the opportunity to tell him yesterday.

he doesnt know if he should have just told jungwon or not. who knows what would have happened to him if he did.

"oh.. i, uh, i see.. you're okay now though right?" sunghoon didn't want to hear anymore. he silently promised to both himself and jay that he would be at school tomorrow and get some explanation out of jungwon. why would jungwon even want to see him? didn't he say that he didn't want to be seen with someone like sunghoon?
