I'll Give Up ( JinHwi )

Five

Jinyoung was looking for Jihoon around the YMC building. Today they will have a meeting for the next season of Wannaone Go but they arrive an hour early so everyone just mind their own businesses or talk with the staff to kill time. Jinyoung went on the nearby cafe to order some snacks because Jihoon was hungry and he won't stop on complaining to him.

"He's probably on the dance studio" Jinyoung said to himself, walking to the direction of that room.

As he get nearer at the slightly ajar door, he can hear voices coming from inside. One from Jihoon, then the other one that couldn't be mistaken as Daehwi. Jinyoung suddenly felt curious about the topic that they have to talk it away from others hearing.

"I'm not sure about that Hwi," came from Jihoon sounding uncertain.

"I'm not asking for your permission hyung, I'm just telling you this" Daehwi replied and the sound of someone's standing up came.

Jinyoung step away from the door several steps to not be caught eavesdropping. He act like he's just about to arrive and that's when Daehwi emerged from the door.

They look at each other for seconds, neither of them talking until Daehwi gives him a kind smile that reached his uneven eyes before walking past on him.

Jinyoung felt guilty...

Daehwi used to be the friend he would always stick with no matter what but the feelings of the younger gets more obvious not just for the hyungs but for Jinyoung himself. It's not like he don't like Daehwi it's quite the opposite to be frank but not in the kind of way Daehwi wanted it to be. He might look like an asshole for ignoring and avoiding the younger but if this can make Daehwi's feelings  disappear then he'll do it. He sees Daehwi as the younger brother and best friend and that's what he can only offer. Besides he has Jihoon. Speaking of...

Jinyoung immediately went inside the studio where he found Jihoon just staring at his reflection seemingly deep in thought. He walk near Jihoon and plopped down besides him.

"You look so serious, what happened?" He ask with a frown as he pass him

Jihoon lean his head on the others shoulder, also looking at the face of Jinyoung on the mirror.

"How do we call our relationship?

Jinyoung eyebrows furrowed, lips couldn't provide any answer. He knows that he loves Jihoon and it already surpassed just loving a friend but more and Jihoon obviously feel the same. They hold each other's hand, sleep together at one bed and share one blanket, go on dates and more that couples do but they don't give label on it because they both don't think it's needed.

Jihoon chuckles and intertwines his fingers to Jinyoung. "Don't take it seriously. I know you love me" he said and started eating the treats Jinyoung bought.

Jinyoung stare at him sadly. "Hyung, do you want us to-"

"No Jinyoung." Jihoon smiles at him in which Jinyoung only nodded at.

"Does Daehwi makes you bother hyung?"

Jihoon look at him unbelievably, as if he received the most ridiculous question. "Daehwi is too adorable to be a bother Jinyoung"

"You know what I mean hyung" Jinyoung sighed.

Jihoon shakes his head, a smile plastered on his face again. "I know what you mean Deepyoung. Seriously, I'm okay, there's nothing I should worry about right? I trust you"

Jinyoung melted at what Jihoon said, a pink blush spreading on his cheeks. He immediately hide his head on the crook of Jihoon's neck to also hide his embarrassment.

Jihoon scoffed at Jinyoung, patting the others away from him. "Seriously Baejin, you're so easy" he teased.

"But you still love me" Jinyoung replied in muffled voice.

Jihoon laughs but still nodded. Yes, he loves Jinyoung so much, he couldn't imagine being not. Even though he knows that Daehwi is hurting, for this moment, he wanted to be selfish, he wanted to have Jinyoung for himself alone.

What Daehwi just told him wouldn't matter because he wouldn't let anyone take Jinyoung from him.

Daehwi didn't know how, but Woojin successfully convinced him on giving it a try for the last time. His hyung suggested that he should do it in the next season of Wannaone go, he explained that they'll have to choose a person for their group according to their taste in music and by appealing to each other. Daehwi often wonders on where does his hyung gets this kind of information when even Daehwi himself was clueless on their next show.

As they arrive at YMC building, they disappear at every possible directions but Daehwi has something in mind and it does include this one hyung who's heading in one of the dancing studio. Daehwi waste no time and followed him.

Jihoon was just checking his clothes when Daehwi enters and their eyes met, there's no tension or anything, they even smile at each other and sit together with their backs leaning on the mirrors.

"You wanted to talk Hwi?" Jihoon ask to break the silence.

"I actually do Hyung, and I want it as straight forward as possible" Daehwi said and continued when Jihoon didn't responds.

"You know that I love Jinyoung hyung right?"

Jihoon only nodded but the sadness and guilt can be easily seen on his pretty face.

"I'll fight for him a little longer hyung. You and Jinyoung-hyung isn't official to anyone yet so I'm not doing anything wrong, right?"

Jihoon's obviously taken aback at the sudden confession of the younger. He expected Daehwi to tell him that he had given up specially when Jihoon saw him after Jinyoung ditch Daehwi on watching the theater. Daehwi went home that night in Woojin's arm as he probably fell asleep crying. The other half of pink sausages even glared at him and ask him to switch room with Daehwi for the night because Woojin doesn't have to say it but it was clear that he wouldn't let his almost brother in the same room with the guy who makes him cry.

"I'm not sure about that Hwi," Jihoon answered. If it's not Jinyoung, he would easily let go and push him to Daehwi because Daehwi deserves the world and doesn't deserves to cry but it's Jinyoung we're talking about, what they have is too solid and made of love and trust. He doubted that Daehwi could even start a crack on their relationship. He's just going to be hurt again...

"I'm not asking for your permission hyung, I'm just telling you this" Daehwi replied standing up, there's still the fire of determination in his eyes. Just a little longer, he doesn't want to regret anything.
