Chapter 5

The one

There's a sickening chorus of cracks as Jaehwan stretches, popping every bone possible before opening his eyes, he checks his phone realising his 'short nap' was more of a five hour sleep as the clock reads 5:45pm

Dropping his phone back onto the couch as he turns around to let his legs dangle off. Only to let out the most girlish scream that's possibly ever existed, falling off the comfy cushiony couch and onto the hardwood floor

"Why would you do that!?, don't you know that kind of thing could give a guy a heart attack!" He yells throwing his kyuubi plushie (naruro ftw XD) at Hakyeon, who had hit the deck the minute he fell and is still laughing, clutching his stomach

"Hakyeon?" Jaehwan stares at him with a look of confusion and mild amusement 

"What?" He wheezes, wiping actual tears away because yes he found it that funny, wouldn't you if you had witnessed your best friend flail their arms on the floor 

"What have you done to your hair?" He raises his hand to ruffle his now silver/grey hair 

"What, you don't like it?" His face instantly drops, fearing that it doesn't suit him

"Yeah I like it... I mean if you're going for the 'grampa' look, hey hey I'm kidding" Jaehwan chuckles, holding Hakyeon's hands down from abusing his head

"Do you actually think it looks good?" Hakyeon asks again. Just too be sure ^_^ 

"Yeah I do, It's suits you. Just a little different that's all, it surprised me" he pats his head, suddenly pulling him towards him 

Hakyeon steps forward, circling his arms around his waist, he had observed and realised months into their friendship that Jaehwan likes to randomly hug, to be specific he likes to randomly hug him. He smiles to himself as he feels Jaehwan rest his head on his shoulder and squeeze him tighter before letting go 

"Any food to eat?, I'm a little hungry" he rubs his stomach, feeling the emptiness of not eating for a couple of hours 

"Yeah there's a few slices of pizza I kept for you, it's in the microwave" Hakyeon nods in the direction of the kitchen 

"Uuuuugh, fooood" he rushes to the kitchen opening the microwave with a harsh tug

His mouth instantly starts drooling at the sight of it. Cheese filled crust, topped with chicken, spicy chicken, mixed peppers and sweet corn. One thing he and Hakyeon really have in common is their weird selection of pizza toppings, discovered one day when they couldn't decide what toppings to have. Hakyeon had wanted chicken and sweet corn and Jaehwan spicy chicken and mixed peppers so after nearly an hour of arguing -and he's pretty sure of biting Hakyeon at one point- they had agreed to just put both of their selections on the one pizza, taste buds be damned 

"You look like you'd rather marry that pizza than eat it" Hakyeon teases leaning against the doorframe 

"I can just imagine the headlines" He sets the timer for the microwave, leaning back to grin at Hakyeon "husband eats wife in unbearable hunger" he waves his hand as if gesturing to the newest paper headline 

Hakyeon laughs as he fills the kettle, setting it to boil as he reaches down to hand him a plate just as the microwave beeps

"Thanks" he smiles dropping his now steaming hot pizza onto the plate as he passes him two mugs 

Without missing a beat, Hakyeon  takes the two mugs without looking while letting go of the plate 

"Thanks" he grins, pouring the now boiling water into both mugs, adding a tea bag to one and a teaspoon of coffee to the other 

"Coffee? You usually only go for that when you're trying to stay up, something wrong?" He asks, noticing his unusual choice of beverage for the weekend 

"Well you woke up kind of late so you won't be able to sleep till late tonight. I can't leave you up by yourself, you'll get bored" Hakyeon shrugs, adding 2 sugars and milk to both mugs

He sits at the dining table with his pizza and a warm mug of tea, smiling to Hakyeon who sits in front of him with his steaming cup of coffee

"So what did you get done while I was asleep, also sorry about crashing out on your couch" he laughs not actually feeling sorry at all, how many times had Hakyeon fell asleep in his house 

"Not much, ate, texted-"

"Taekwoon?" He cuts in, giving him a wide grin

"Jaehwan" Hakyeon glares at him, warning clear in his tone and he throws his hands up in surrender, for now he'll lowkey ship them 

-=-=-=-=-

After lazing around until 7:30 they decide to start their movie night by taking a quick trip to the nearest store -Hakyeon insisted they needed ice cream and other sugary junk foods (that he's sure are going to rot their teeth)- for snacks 

"Why do you even need that many sweets?" He stares incredulously at Hakyeon, watching him fill the basket with candy laces

"It's not even that much, you exaggerate" Hakyeon shrugs him off

"Hakyeon aside from the two tubs of ice cream and multiple bars of chocolate. you have 2 bags of pretzels, a 3litre bottle of coke, jellybeans-" he's cut short as Hakyeon grabs the basket from his reach 

"I get it, enough sugar" he grumbles, bringing his basket to the cashier leaving him to tag along, phone stuck in his face as he texts rapidly

He can sense Hakyeon eyeing him from his peripheral vision but says nothing, quickly pressing send before putting it away and was glad Hakyeon is facing the cashier as he's unable to hide the grin on his face 

They leave the store and begin their journey home, about half way back Jaehwan's phone vibrates and he eagerly answers it

"Hello?" He talks loud enough for Hakyeon to hear, knowing full well that he can't hear what's being said on the other line "you are?... Great, yeah soon... I don't know, five minutes maybe?... Tell him to stop being impatient then... I don't care if he finds it cold... Okay...okay yeah. Bye" he doesn't look at Hakyeon when he hangs up, knowing that he's already watching him as they walk along the street

"What are you up to?" Hakyeon squints at him but he refuses to crack and smiles back innocently 

"I'm not up to anything" he laughs it off, strolling faster down the street

"Okay Hakyeon" he suddenly grabs him by the arm before they turn the corner leading into his street

"What Jaehwan?, it's cold, let's just get inside already" Hakyeon whines pulling him around the corner before he can protest 

He sighs to himself as he watches Hakyeon's entire body freeze up, long gone is the giddiness to get home and he places a hand on his shoulder, barely noticing the tensing of his muscles 

"I kind of invited them over for movie night, hoped you wouldn't have minded?" He smiles warily when Hakyeon remains still, eyes wide and mouth slightly ajar 

Despite it being dark, he can still make out the very distinctive features of both Wonshik and Taekwoon, standing out on the porch away from the falling snow

Okay now he regrets buying so much junk food... He's going to look like a slob (•___•)
