EX // Minsung

49. Sanha's POV

Sanha's days with Yeonwoo went by slowly. At some point Sanha wondered if it was even worth it. It seemed like Yeonwoo wasn't completely letting him in. That was until Yeonwoo started getting touchy with him. Not in an inappropriate way. At least, not at first. After they got closer and closer, something sparked on Yeonwoo's side. Sanha could see the moment Yeonwoo's attitude towards him changed. If only it was this noticeable when his crushes liked him back. Then he wouldn't have embarrassed himself too many times before.
But anyway, whenever Yeonwoo became extra touchy, Sanha made sure to call him "hyung" a couple more times than he usually would. He could tell Yeonwoo liked that. And he couldn't wait to tell Jisung.

Sanha and Jisung met at their usual spot. The public library out of town. The library looked like it had been an old church once and was supported by big, white, round pillars. The library later had added chandeliers to provide the space with light. Every time Sanha visited the library to see Jisung, he couldn't help but think how much it suited Jisung. It was obvious he had chosen the meeting point. Not Minho or Sam.
Most days Jisung had come with Minho, but today he arrived with Sam instead. Maybe Minho didn't come today because he wasn't expecting big news.

"You won't believe it." Sanha said enthusiastically. Jisung and Sam had barely sat down, but after so many boring updates Sanha could barely hold himself together for this juicy one.
"I think Yeonwoo has a crush on me." Sanha watched the boys process his words. But when they came through, their mouths dropped. "Of course he's still obsessed with Minho, so I don't think he fully realises it."

"We didn't even plan to go that far, but this is perfect." Jisung seemed as surprised as Sanha had hoped. It made him feel proud of his acting job.

"Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable though?" Sam asked. "I would be if I knew a guy like him liked me."

Sanha shrugged. "He does really give me the ick, but at least I can say I did a good job for what you hired me to do."
They all chuckled a little.

"I guess that's true." Sam smiled. "I can't wait until you break his heart."

"Publicly." Sanha nodded. "That's how I want to embarrass him."

"Isn't that going a little too far?" Jisung was like that. Kind. Always thinking of others. In Sanha's opinion, he could do that a little less.

But Sanha just raised an eyebrow and said, "You didn't know, didn't you?'

"What do you mean?" Sam asked, gripping his drink a little tighter

"Did you think it was just a coincidence that June came bothering you and Minho some time ago?" Sanha asked Jisung.

"Is it not..?" Jisung carefully asked.

Sanha scoffed. "Of course not. She was trying to see if the rumours that Yeonwoo spread were really true. Trying to save her own reputation."

"I don't understand what you mean." Jisung shook his head confused. "What do you mean she was trying to save her own reputation."

"If Minho's dad was in prison truly for beating Minho's boyfriend and it was taken to court. Then it meant one, she dated the son of an abuser and two, Minho really chose guys over her. She thought it was just a phase and Minho would eventually come back to her." Sanha scoffed. "She has no humanity. She's even denying ever having dated Minho seriously."

"The fuck does Minho's dad being an abuser have to do with her reputation. Minho is the one who's suffered from it, but she's upset about it?" Jisung balled his fists and he even got a little red in the face. Sanha hadn't seen him this wound up before.

After Sam managed to calm Jisung down a little, they decided to leave the meeting at that. Sanha had provided enough information for now. And he promised to deliver better results. They were going to take good care of Yeonwoo.

The next phase started as soon as Sanha entered the dorm grounds again.

"Yeonwoo hyung, I'm back!" Sanha exclaimed as he swung the door to Yeonwoo's dorm open.

Yeonwoo looked up from his phone. When he saw it was Sanha he put his phone away and immediately stood up to greet Sanha.

"Where have you been?" Yeonwoo asked.

Sanha pressed a small gift bag into Yeonwoo's hands. It was an answer but also a way to avoid actually answering the question. "I got you a little something."

Yeonwoo took the bag and took out the paper filling. He reached into the bag and pulled out a beaded bracelet.

"I saw it and it reminded me of you, so I bought it for you." Sanha smiled and internally praised himself for sounding so convincing. Truth was, he went into random gift shop and bought one of the bracelets that they sold at the counter. Sanha had no idea what Yeonwoo would like or what suited him. He just picked the first thing he saw. But if Yeonwoo truly liked him, this would prove it.

Yeonwoo's eyes lit up and Sanha couldn't help but smirk.

"Thank you, it's looks great!" Yeonwoo slid the bracelet around his wrist and held it up. Sanha had to admit, it didn't look too bad. Perhaps the bracelet would've suited everyone.

"It looks good on you." Sanha said. When Yeonwoo was almost going in for a hug, Sanha added, "Do you want to play video games?"

They moved back to Yeonwoo's old sunken in couch to play games. Even though Yeonwoo hadn't been on campus as long as most students, his dorm looked the most worn out. Sanha wouldn't be surprised if this very couch had had a rat infestation at some point. Yeonwoo's dishes were rarely washed. Not to mention what the rest of the kitchen looked like. It made Sanha gag almost every time. Even gay men are just men.

"So I've been thinking," Yeonwoo scooted closer to Sanha, "I don't think people reacted enough to what happened to Minho's dad."

"Probably because Minho is well liked and also Minho is not his dad." Sanha tried to say nonchalantly, but Jisung's words were still in his head. Minho wasn't his dad. So why should he be punished for his dad's actions.

"Yeah but you know June right? I told you about her, Minho's ex." Yeonwoo tried again.

Sanha nodded, not looking at Yeonwoo. He tried to just keep playing the game without showing his thoughts.

"Yeah, so, her friends bully her because her having dated the most popular guy is now turning into a scandal. So she wants to put herself in a better spot and I was thinking, maybe we could team up or something." Yeonwoo nudged Sanha.

“Team up how?” Sanha asked

“Us and June.” Yeonwoo clarified. “We could all get our revenge on Minho.”

Sanha paused the game and put his controller down. He turned to face Yeonwoo. “And how do you propose we do that?”

Yeonwoo’s eyes lit up as if he was just asked his favourite question. “If you’re up for it, you should seduce Jisung. Then June will work on Minho. Then one of the guys will break up with the other. Let’s say Jisung falls for you, he’ll then break up with Minho. Leaving Minho heartbroken. Then you’ll break up with Jisung and he will try to crawl back to Minho. But Minho will never take him back and now they’re both alone. It’s the perfect plan.”

Sanha nodded and couldn’t help but smile. “Sounds perfect.”

Yeonwoo didn’t know Minho and Jisung at all, the bond between the two was uncanny. Nothing could separate them. Especially not by seduction.
