Maybe This Time

Chapter 3

"Do you remember the hill we used to go to? Should we watch the sunset later?" I asked Yeosang. He is being sandwiched by me and San who was busy glaring at me.

Yeosang nods and was about to say something but was interrupted by San.

"So, you're just going to be here for vacation? Two months? Good to know." San said.

I rolled my eyes, and Yeosang was the one who answered him. "Sannie don't be like that. He's a friend."

"Yeah, right. A friend." He emphasized the word friend and smirked at me.

Seemed like the guys realized the tension as I heard a cough from Seonghwa.

"So, do you guys want to watch the sunset later?" He asked.

"Oh, Seonghwa. I like that. We should make the guys' stay here memorable so that they would choose to stay for good." Jongho said, earning laughs from our friends.

"Yeah, let's do that," Yeosang said as he reached for my hand and squeeze it lightly.

I smiled at him, look at San, then smirked.

As we reached the top of the hill, San excused him and Yeosang for a private talk.

"Hey, are you okay?" I looked to my right and saw that Mingi took a seat beside me.

"Yeah, but hey. That San, who is he?" I asked curiously. "I didn't know that a San was living in our town.

"Do you remember Uncle Minho?" I nodded. "San is his son," he continued.

"You mean the kindhearted and gentleman Uncle Minho? It's impossible based on his attitude."

Mingi chuckled and hit me. "That's just jealousy, Woo. San is very kind and helpful. People here will agree with that. He took all the good traits of Uncle Minho and Aunt Yoona. I guess he also took Uncle Minho's protective ass trait."

"I can understand Uncle Minho. Aunt Yoona is one of the most beautiful people here, you know."

"And so is Yeosang."

I nodded as I know Yeosang is. He's one of the most beautiful, no, he's the most beautiful.

"Wait. Protective ass trait? So, you mean, they are dating?"

"We don't really know the thing between them. All we know was San likes Yeosang. Yup, he told us. He even confessed. Then after that, we don't know anything that happened. But they grew closer, and San became fonder of Yeosang, so we expect that the confession went well." He said as he turned his gaze toward the two.

I, too, looked at the two and saw how San reached for Yeosang's hands and how Yeosang nodded at him. San pulled Yeosang into a hug, whispering things to him. San looked towards our destination and our gazes met. He smirked and pulled out from the hug.

As we are walking home, after watching the sunset, I volunteered to take Yeosang home with Yunho and Mingi. At first, San objected but cannot do anything as his house was on the other side.

"Take care, okay? Message me when you get home." I heard San said to Yeosang.

"Yeah, don't worry, I am with Youngie," Yeosang replied.

"That's what I'm worried about." He said as he looked at me. I frowned at him.

"San." Yeosang said with a warning.

"Okay, I'll behave, Sangie. Go on, take care." San gestured to Yeosang to start walking, to which Yeosang obliged.

I matched Yeosang's pace and let Mingi and Yunho walked on the back.

"So, he's your boyfriend?" I asked.

He looked at me and giggled. "Don't believe everything that Mingi said."

"Hey! I heard that!" Mingi shouted.

Yeosang giggled and continued walking with his hands in his pockets. He must be cold.

I reached for his hand and placed our intertwined hands inside my hoodie's pockets. He looked at me curiously and I smiled at him.

"You're cold, right? You can't lie, I know you."

"Yeah. You really do. But don't you think I changed over the years that you are gone?"

I halted and stopped walking which made him stop, too.

"Did you?" I asked.

"It's for you to find out." He smiled and gently pulled me so we can continue walking.
