sungchan

seunghan
yeah it has

sungchan
OH NVM LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY

seunghan
huh?
oh
dude i apologized

shotaro
yeah he did

sungchan
but overall, that was just a bad move done by you

seunghan
i know
and again, im really sorry

shotaro
yeah i forgive you

sungchan
WHA
ok fine sure

shotaro
anyway guys i have some stuff to tell you

sungchan
do tell

shotaro
eunseok texted me today

sungchan
oh boy
what does pretty boy's best friend have to say

shotaro
apparently he likes wonbin
so i've struck out

sungchan
what

shotaro
you heard me
he likes wonbin
and i'm in the middle of his plan

sungchan
well did you tell wonbin

shotaro
no
i'm not gonna expose eunseok suddenly for my own sake

sungchan
well what was this whole thing for then?

shotaro
i'm over wonbin now
isn't that what you wanted?

sungchan
...
yeah. i did want that.
but shotaro, i just remember you being so happy when you gave wonbin that mint thing
i knew that you always thought of him as handsome even in 8th grade
you're supposed to chase your dreams
and for you it seems to be wonbin. wonbin is your dream.
so why don't you go to that boy
tell him straight up everything that's happened
and even if he hates you for the rest of his life, at least you made the step to talk to him
the worst he can say to your confession is "no", but i'm sure he'll say yes.
just watch what happens.

shotaro
wow i wasn't expecting that from you
thanks sungchan
love you man

sungchan
ew dude
but ilyt ig
anyway better get moving school's literally about to end

shotaro
aye aye chief

wonbin stormed over to his two best friends who were slumped over a laptop. he snapped his finger in front of the screen to grab their attention. "guys, i need to talk to you both."

eunseok smiled, patting the seat next to him. "yeah, sure. sit." wonbin shook his head.

"i'd rather stand. but anyway, have you guys been friendly to shotaro lately?" he noted eunseok's unreadable expression. "eunseok, you got something to confess?"

the said boy grinned. "no. sohee, you've got anything? have you been mean to poor shotaro today?" the short boy scoffed.

"no? i barely even know the guy. it was probably you, eunseok." the said boy elbowed him in the side, making sohee wince and scoot further away. "fuck."

eunseok laughed, but it was cut off once wonbin threatened to cut a hole in him with his sharp glare. "what the fuck did you say to him, seok. tell me now." his best friend held up his arms, as if surrendering.

"woah, bin. aren't you taking it a bit far for this random guy who you only met a month or two ago? you've known us for years." eunseok furrowed his eyebrows, staring at his crush with desperate eyes. "does it even really matter if he's just having a bad day...?"

tears stinged wonbin's eyes. he tightly shut them. "yes. yes...it matters. it matters more than anything."

"why?" sohee and eunseok questioned in unison, but with different tones.

wonbin opened his eyes, showcasing the hot tears that spilled over his cheeks. "it matters, because i love him. i love him more than anything. i..." he covered his mouth, trying to refrain from letting a choke or a hiccup slip out.

eunseok faced the ground, because he always knew. "i know you do." the guilt of the past hour was catching up to him. "and i'm sorry."

wonbin exhaled, disappointed. "it was you, wasn't it?"
