I LIKE U, IS THAT OK? ☆ jukyu

ii. Y?

that night changmin told himself that even if chanhee ended up with his crush, it didn't mean he was to hate him. neither of them. changmin just wanted to forget his feelings, it wasn't their fault so changmin knew not to put the blame on them. he told himself that he'll just pretend as if he doesn't like juyeon, even if his heart aches.

the next morning, sunwoo sends a message in the group chat that they'll be meeting at the XXXX cafe near his house. he wanted to get their plans for the summer down, because they all knew summer doesn't last very long as one thought.

so, changmin headed to their meeting place.

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

everyone one of his friends were there. sunwoo, kevin, juhaknyeon, younghoon, and chanhee. it was like the old times when they didn't have partners. changmin was happy to see that; not that he hated their partners or that they had partners before him, but rather because it felt like old times. changmin missed that.

he took a seat beside chanhee who was drinking some of his ice coffee. he glanced at changmin and smiled, going in for a hug. "hey, how's it goin?" chanhee wonders.

changmin smiles softly. "normal. and you?"

"better. oh, and sorry for yesterday. you were probably surprised. i should have told you sooner that i started seeing juyeon..." chanhee says.

changmin waves a hand around. "no, it's okay."

"no that was so rude of me...! i really hope we can all get along...you know, 'cuz juyeon is like, really popular and sunwoo can be sensitive to that sort of thing—which i find sorta weird."

changmin chuckles. "yeah...well, sunwoo is pretty weird," changmin tries to make a joke. chanhee nods and smiles at the comment, looking straight across from him, looking at sunwoo who has his head down looking at something on his phone.

chanhee playfully kicks sunwoo's leg under the table, getting the other's attention. sunwoo lifts up his head, "what?"

"are you gonna start it now? changmin's here."

sunwoo's eyes perk in interest at the mentioned of changmin's name. sunwoo scans the table to find the brunette head sitting beside chanhee. "changmin...! when did you get here?" sunwoo wonders.

"just a few seconds ago. where are the others?"

"they went to go buy some things. do you want anything?"

"no. i'm fine."

"are you sure? if you want i can go order it," sunwoo suggested. 

changmin shakes his head. "no, i'm fine." 

"really? you know it doesn't bother me to go and get—"

"jeezes, sunwoo can't you just listen to him? he said he doesn't want anything." chanhee snaps, cutting in their conversation.

sunwoo rolls his eyes and looks at chanhee. "and why do you care? i'm asking changmin, not—"

"oh look, here they come." chanhee interrupts sunwoo and looks at their friends who are now approaching their table. younghoon's eyes widen at the sight of changmin and he excitedly runs to the boy.
