In fact, it's not hard for him to make Chan close to him. But the situation and his feelings are making it harder and more complicated. Seeing your special someone being deeply in love, happy and contented with someone else is a torture for him. He would rather choose to be teased by Wonwoo, than seeing them together with stinging eyes. Jeon family’s wealth was all spent on his studies so he will not bother with it anymore and it’s enough. And Wen gave all of his needs and wants; what Junhui has, he also has. Until Wonwoo thought of something that could help him and he will no longer be a burden to his best friend’s family anymore. Wonwoo hates it. He doesn’t want the idea of his mother being so dramatic over small things like this. He just saved a boy, probably with the same age of him, from bullies in their school. Those bruises and wounds came from his boldness and kindness. He wants to say this to his mother but how can he? If the only thing that his mother is saying is his braggart personality. Well, what’s new? That’s how parents always react but despite of being annoyed to his mother’s exaggeration, he’s aware that’s a way of showing her affection to him and he appreciates it一so much.

Liar.” He heard Wonwoo who was drinking his milk in own gulp. Junhui remained silent. “You don't want Chan for me?” Thank you for taking my son to school. It’s a big help. Where’s Juyeong?” Her mother asked the guy as she fixed his collar. Do I have a choice?” Wonwoo, for the second time, rolled his eyes and went to their couch to play on his PS4 while waiting. Junhui raised his right brow and crossed his arms, expecting Wonwoo to get his message. Wonwoo smiled at his dumbness. “I know it’s milk. But for what?” He asked once more, a clearer inquiry than before. Hey, come with us. This is the only time that we can bond. Plus, we have Chan. He wants to be your friend.” Wonwoo responded.Junhui looked at him and he remembered how he loves Wonwoo so much, how he started admiring his best friend more than anything, their shared moments and loud laughs, their petty fights, both being stubborn to their parents; all of it flashed in his memory rapidly and it just made him more eager to keep Wonwoo. But there’s something inside of him that he needs to say how he felt towards him. It will be a big gamble but it will end their suffering. And at that moment, Chan smiled painfully. It came from Wonwoo. He loves Junhui but he is afraid to lose everything that they have. Chan was hurt but overall, he is proud that at last, Wonwoo admitted it even though indirectly. Who knows? You're kind and both of you have been together for so long. I'm quite sure he has had feelings for you for some time.” Chan continued convincing Junhui that there's hope. There really is. I don't have one. Because the one whom I want to be with is already yours. He wanted to tell this to Chan but he is still in the right state of mind and will never drag himself into trouble. And you know, they will not allow you to do that. They even told me to convince you to stop working and focus on your study but I explained everything to them that you want to do this willingly.” Junhui responded.

Junhui smiled and pulled Wonwoo to hug him and carefully fondled its hair. “You did, Wonwoo. You’re the best and that made her feel that she did a great job in taking care of you while you’re growing up.” A tear slipped from Junhui’s eye and he immediately wiped it. No, Wonwoo shouldn't see him crying. He needs to be strong for his best friend. “She’s proud of her Uyu, I’m sure.” Junhui shed tears. All the pain that he hide for a long time is finally going out through his eyes and he can feel how Wonwoo is in pain because he misses his best friend so much, too. He cursed under his breath and was about to go out to call his mother for help because what on earth he should do? Then Wonwoo’s hot and trembling hand caught his wrist and stopped him. He looked at it一confuse. Junhui took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, collecting all the courage that he could. He walked towards Wonwoo. “I love you.” No, he's not immature to do it. He just wants Wonwoo to spend more time with Chanㅡhis boyfriendㅡbecause he knew his best friend is clingy with him from time to time and he cannot resist it, he cannot reject Wonwoo so the only thing that he can do is to build a barrier between them.Wonwoo rolled his eyes. “Of course not! Just heard it last week from two students in the field while I’m waiting for you.” I should’ve told you everything. These are the words that keep on repeating inside his head the moment they enter the clinic. It was only five minutes ago since Wonwoo went inside the laboratory but he wanted to go home and anxious thoughts were dominating his head. He just keeps on glancing at Chan from time to time but his heavy feeling is enough to forbid him from starting a conversation with the younger. Wonwoo wiped his hands with the towel next to the sink and left the utensils before giving it to Junhui so he went and sat down next to Junhui while waiting for it to dry. He fished his phone while listening to the song that Junhui is playing.

Mom is asking if... “ Junhui pauses, struggling in talking with Wonwoo so he focused himself and took a shaky breath. He closed his eyes and prepared himself. “If you’re going to attend the graduation ball so he can prepare for your coat.” And he thanked every saint he can mention that time for helping him in finishing his simple sentence to Wonwoo.Junhui didn’t bother to respond to his stubborn best friend and just finished the song that Jisoo, his classmate, recommended for their performance next week. It was a great song, Junhui thought and he really is into this kind of stuff and hates it when Wonwoo always teases him with it. Chan just nodded and gave him a smile. Wonwoo started to walk and approached Junhui who was busy preparing some desserts for them. And that hit Junhui so much. Maybe we are just meant to stay as best friends and not lovers. He thought to himself. Hey! Wake up!” Junhui called in a loud voice for the second time and after some seconds, the door opened presenting a newly-bath Wonwoo with a bath sheet in the lower part of his body that revealed Wonwoo’s composed and buff body. Some water drops are still present in his chest. Junhui started swallowing the lump forming in his throat.
