With Him || Heehoon

CHAP 8

Sunghoon's POV

"Wow everything's the way I remembered." Heeseung says looking around as we walked down the little hallway to my room.

"It's a surprise you remember anything at all." I say my fingers dancing with their selves. Thank God my mom kinda arranged my room. God knows I would be mortified, if heeseung were to see how disorganized it was.

"Oh come on Hoon, give me some credit. I might not be as bright as you but my head doesn't exactly belong to a dead fish." He says his fingers touching the scrap on the wall.

I can't even remember what caused that scrap, probably during a fight. "That's your opinion."

He laughed entering the room after me. "You'd be surprised when you see my grades now."

I didn't bother replying cause I knew he wouldn't listen. His eyes were looking around my room. I subtly picked up a lying around a shirt and jean, tossing in them to the wardrobe.

"Wow sunghoon" heeseung said touching the picture of rocket that was on the wall. It also had the parts and internal drawn out on the picture, my prized possession. "This is beautiful man."

I shrugged sitting on my bed. I know.

"You're still gonna build one of this one day aren't you?" He asked and I nodded.

It's always been my dream. I am literally obsessed. I had different rockets around here. The ones I won and the ones I could afford to buy. Since the beginning of time, I've been into rockets and it's always my dream to build one. Heeseung knows this and the look of things, he remembers.

"I'm glad that hasn't changed." He amused still looking around picking a picture of me, in a swimming pool with a duck in my hands.

"What about you? Are you in a band or are you still going to a band ?" I asked.

He grinned dropping the picture and sitting on my reading chair "I did join a band, space gorillas."

"What? That's the name ? Space--" I couldn't finish as I burst out laughing.

He threw a pillow at me. "laugh all you want, at that time it made much sense."

I stopped laughing, trying to keep a tight face. "So what happened to space gorillas?"

"We broke up. Our drummer left and I was already thinking of leaving too. I guess it wasn't really my thing." He says.

"I am surprised the horrible name was the cause." I said choking on my laughter.

"Oh come on, there's attic monkeys and chainsmokers."

"What are those?"

He sat up straight "You don't know the attic monkeys?"

I shrugged "I'm really not into music."

"Only you sunghoon, only you." he amused shaking his head in either amusement or disappointment.

There was silence between us for a while before I broke it. "So what's your thing now?" I couldn't help it, I was so curious. And he knew mine so it's only fair I knew his too.

Heeseung looked up at me, his brown black eyes holding a smile. "I have non now. I really don't know what to do with my life, in every aspect. I'm confused and," he sighed running a hand through his hair. "I'm just going with the flow, whatever happens, happen."

I nodded in understanding. "It's okay heeseung, it's okay to be confused and not to know, you don't need to know everything."

He smiled. "And as usual, sunghoon says the perfect things. How do you do it? You should tell me your secret."

"Um, where your pants and shirt, upside down and go to school" I said

His mouth dropped. "Did you do that?"

I chuckled nodding "yeah sophomore year, I was mad and angry and the pants just had to be waistband, epic humiliation."

Heeseung burst out laughing "like I said, only you sunghoon."

Silence left between us again and this time it was heeseung who broke it.

"I missed you hoon."

I looked at him and frowned when I saw his glossy eyes. He looked so genuine. So truthful, I turned away shaking my head.

"Some lying heeseung, it's unlike you."

He got off the chair. "I'm not lying sunghoon, I can't."

"Lies! Just stop okay. How do you expect me to believe that? I am not mad that you didn't. Just don't lie." I said getting irritated.

He sat on the bed "Hoon.."

"You didn't write." I gritted. "You said you were as soon as you settled down, heeseung. You said you'd write. But you didn't, not one single letter, not one single call. six years. how the fuck do you expect me to believe you?"

He ran his hand through his hair "I'm sorry. I am very sorry sunghoon. Let me make it up to you"

I looked at him unbelievably. "You're not going give an excuse."

He shook his head, making his long black hair fall and almost cover his eyes, "No. No excuses. I was wrong. I was a jerk and nothing, Nothing can excuse make up what j made you go through."

"I didn't go through anything." I said turning away. "Just disappointment but I got over it. I mean you're not the only best friend I have."

"Really? How many then?"

I looked at him and I expected to see a teasing look but he looked serious. So danm serious. I fought a smile "my mom. She's pretty amazing. You'd be surprised how good she's at football and hide and seek."

That finally cracked a smile out of him. I was relieved to see that. Happy even.

"I'm sorry hoon, let me make up for it."

"How?" I asked.

He reached for my fingers, holding my long Lean fingers. "By been the best friend you can ever wish for."

I chuckled "you can't measure up."

His eyes glistened "try me."

I smirked "and what if I don't need a best friend?"

"Then a lover?"

My heart skipped a beat and I turned to him eyes wide. What does he mean?

He chuckled "kidding, you've gone paler."

I sighed "don't joke with me. "then I ran my hand through my hair, trying to calm down. He's joking, I should be two. I smirked. "And even though, you can't measure up either."

His eyes glited again but he didn't say anything. "A brother?"

I mock choked. "I forbid that. I can't have a brother like you, I'll disown him."

He gasped "what is that supposed to mean?"

"That you almost don't fit."

He placed a free hand on his chest and that's when I realized my hand was still in his. Then he shrugged, "True. I can't have a brother as pale as you. Have you even, ever seen the beach? Or at least the sun?"

I gasped "you're an asshole."

He smirked "I'm a jerk."

"That too."

"The most annoying creature ever"

"That too."

"Your best and only friend."

"That too."
