Hyunjin and Jeongin chapter

Hyunjin had never thought he would fall for someone. He had never been interested in anyone, preferring to be alone with his best friend Felix. He didn't see the need for romance at the young age of 19, feeling like things most likely would just be immature and fall apart eventually.

Jeongin had always wanted to find the person that would be just right for him. It didn't matter who they were, as long as they made him happy. When he came to college freshly out of a relationship, he had never expected to fall for Hwang Hyunjin as hard as he did. Hyunjin was energetic and loud, always being the one to make jokes when with friends. It was completely different from his last partner, but he liked it and fell hard.

The two had met through Felix. Him being a social butterfly was quick to befriend Jeongin. Having known Hyunjin since they were 12 years old, he dragged him into the friendship and that's how the had become friends. They three of them bonded quickly, all sharing their dreams and stories of the past with one another. Jeongin liked to listen to Hyunjin and Felix' stories, the two seemed to have been up to no good whenever they were together.

Jeongin realised his feelings for Hyunjin were different from his feelings for Felix when the two were hanging out alone one afternoon. They had initially planned to hang out with all three of them, but Felix had to cancel last minute. The two decided to continue their meeting as two and so they left for the cinema together after school. Felix had been begging to see the new horror movie and both had agreed, but for some reason they ended up choosing a rom-com. The lady at the counter had accidentally given them a loveseat, and so the two were sitting confortably snug next to one another. Jeongin couldn't help but smile after the movie was over as Hyunjin raged on about how beautiful the romance had been. It was that day Jeongin knew he had fallen for the older.

For Hyunjin, it was when him and Felix had gone to the park. The two had enjoyed their time together when Felix had mentioned how it was sad Jeongin couldn't make it. The weather was perfect and it felt super relaxing, not having to worry about anything. Hyunjin had agreed and for some reason, something in him finally snapped. He realised how his feelings towards Felix felt different from his feelings towards Jeongin. The younger couldn't help but notice the frown on his best friend's face and had asked what was on his mind.

"I was just... thinking about Jeongin?" Hyunjin had started, earning a small smirk from Felix that went unnoticed. "I kind of realised I feel differently towards him... then I do to you?"

"I hope so, you've known me for 7 freaking years."

"N-No. Not like that. My stomach feels weird whenever I see him. Especially when his eyes twinkle as he reads his favorite book. Or how he smiles at every dog he sees? It makes me feel... weird." Felix' eyes had widened as Hyunjin was explaining his feelings. Hyunjin had told Felix years before he was demisexual, only attracted to people he had a deep connection with. It sounded to him like Hyunjin was head over heels, but confused with his feelings as he had never experiences it before.

"My dude. You sound like you like him."

Hyunjin had denied it for two full weeks. Not having experienced any form of crush in his life, he blamed it on the fact he liked the rush of having another best friend. However when he started to doubt himself, he decided to confide in the person that knew him best; his mom. She had always wondered why Hyunjin had never gotten himself a girlfriend (or boyfriend). He was a very handsome boy and she had heard Felix tell her multiple times he was very popular with 'the ladies' in their high school. When he confessed he could only like someone if they had been good friends before that, she assumed he ment Felix. She laughed it off when she saw how disgusted her son had looked. "The day I date Felix is the day I have lost faith in human kind." Is that he had responded.
