6 Years later   14 year old Sunggyu sighed as he walked more like dragged his feet across the pavement his best friend Myungsoo walking emotionlessly next to him   "Hyung Whats wrong ? You look like your tired ......well your always tired but today you look like one of those walking dead what were they called again ... Zombie's ? " Myungsoo teased breaking his cold facade   "Shut it Myungie if you say another world I'll personally turn you into one of those so called Zombies " Sunggyu snarled back   "Hahahahaha Sorry hyung but you do look terrible ....Care to share ? "
"Bora " Sunggyu replied , the monosyllable more than enough to answer Myungsoo's question as he nodded his head understandingly asking   " Let me guess she didnt leave you alone after the couple rope thingie"
Sunggyu just groaned in response rubbing his head   "Gyu Hyung !!! " Someone screamed from behind them , Sunggyu's lips automatically curving into a smile as he knew exactly who it was   He stood his ground waiting for the impact sure to follow and soon enough Sunggyu was enveloped in a loving embrace by his favourite friend. He and Woohyun had met each other almost every other day after the chance meeting at the park (They happend to be in the same school as well )
Infact they had become very close friends though Sunggyu's feelings bordered precariously between the line of friendship and love which the older really didnt want to think about at the moment.
Even though the both of them were very close Sunggyu avoided going near Woohyun's home again and prevented the younger from coming over to his ,  he didnt want the younger to know the truth about their families, to feel guilty , to hate him like his ex father does.
Funnily enough Woohyun never questioned him about this , he never mentioned anything about his parents or asked Sunggyu about his. The older always felt Paranoid that the younger actually already knew the truth but when Woohyun always looked at him so affectionately , smiling so brightly all his doubts seemed unwarranted   "Gyu Hyung ! I missed you " Woohyun whined squeezing him tighter
"What are you talking about ,we saw each other this morning Hyunnie " Sunggyu laughed as he flipped around to hug the shorter boy in his arms   "But that was 7 hours ago ! " Woohyun kept whining
"Aissshh you greedy little fellow ,you want all my attention on you 24/7 dont you" Sunggyu teased   "Of Course ! Hyung is mine ! Only mine ! Gyu Hyung cant look at anyone except me" Woohyun stated stubbornly   The two of them were interrupted when Myungsoo ruffled Woohyun's hair causing the latter to scowl trying to swat the hand away   " Hey to you too Woohyun " Myungsoo chuckled as the boy glared at him " Its too early to be clingy dont you think?"   Myungsoo, Sunggyu's other best friend , had instantly got along with Woohyun after Sunggyu introduced them ( Sunggyu was still obviously his favourite ). Though the interaction between the two of them was anything but friendly, both of them preferring to annoy and get on each others nerves till the point of killing each other ,instead of having a normal conversation .
" Must be a rich kid thing ??" The older thought but the fact Myungsoo was rich was pretty much a secret to everyone except Sunggyu. His silent friend didnt want to draw attention on himself it seems   "Noone asked you Myungsoo hyung !! " Woohyun pouted as he refused to separate from Sunggyu who was bright red after Woohyun's declaration   Myungsoo observed the two of them noting with amusement that Woohyun's hand ended dangerously close to Sunggyu's , though he was pretty sure it was an innocent action
"You know if people saw you two they think you two are really really close , if you know what I mean" He finished off with a wink   "We are close? " Woohyun said confused not really gettin the hidden meaning behind the others words   Sunggyu realising what Myungsoo meant , immediately broke free from the other glancing around sure enough there were a few people in the park looking at them suspiciously   " Woohyun-ah your not allowed to hug me like that in public ! " Sunggyu blurted out trying to escape from the youngers lunging hands without hurting him , frowning slightly when he noticed more bruises and bandages on the youngers legs and hands
" Aisshh I should really get him to stop playing soccer ! He's way to reckless "  Sunggyu thought exasperated, really how many times a day does he have to treat the youngers wounds ,he really didn't like seeing Woohyun hurt
"But Why !! " Woohyun asked shocked , eyes watering making the older forget what he was thinking about   Sunggyu who felt  really guilty that it was his fault that his Woohyun was about to cry , held his doesangs hand gently trying to placate him
"Its cause ermm ?? Wellll .... I have a backache ? Yeah !! Thats it! Hahahah " Sunggyu said laughing awkwardly   "Ohhh Why didnt you say so !! Here let me massage you " Woohyun replied immediately turning back into his bubbly excited self, as he tried to 'forcefully' tug Sunggyu's shirt out of his pants , with the elder boy yelping in protest.
Myungsoo who was observing the slightly questionable scene (Well he was a ert)  smirked evilly an idea in his head , he cleared his throat loudly gaining the attention of the other two boys   "Actualllllly........" Myungsoo drawled out "Hyung only likes it when Bora hugs him isnt that right Hyung ?"He finished blinking innocently , cackling gleefully inside his mind when he saw Sunggyu pale and Woohyun turn green with jealousy   "WHAAAATT ?!" Woohyun howled
"No Woohyunnie !! It isnt like that! " Sunggyu tried defending himself as he glared at the smiling Myungsoo" She accidently fell on me while we were skipping its not like I wanted her to hug me ! "   "You two were Couple skipping !" Woohyun asked incredulously " You never skipped with me before !"
"I was forced tooo !! " Sunggyu yelled   "Do you like her more than me Gyu Hyung? " Woohyun asked in a small voice   "Yaaaaahhhh ! What are you saying you Idiot !? Noone comes close to you ! I like you the most and would do anything for you " Sunggyu screamed without thinking , eyes widening when he realised he had somewhat confessed to the younger     "Rea-lllllyy ? " Woohyun asked his eyes shining hopefully
"I ....Well ...I meant " Sunggyu began sweating profusely , it was too early to let Woohyun know of his not so innocent feelings towards him, He didnt even know if the other was gay or not   Luckily Myungsoo decided to help him out for a change and magically produced a jump rope from his bag saying   "Hyung told me to bring this rope cause he specifically wanted to couple skip with you today "
Woohyun eyed the jump rope , his face showing a flash of dissapointment when he saw Sunggyu sighing and tactfully avoiding the topic they were discussing about before Woohyun's face broke into a wide grin .   He quickly grabbed his hyung and the jump rope dragging them along to their special place yelling for the still stunned Myungsoo to hurry up before he gets left behind   A FEW HOURS LATER   "Haaah haah haaaah " Sunggyu panted as he crumbled to the ground waving his hands in silent protest as his mouth refused to form words   Woohyun who was holding the jump rope in his hand started chuckling watching his Hyung groaning after collapsing completely on the grassy floor   Myungsoo who was sneakily taking pictures of the two with his phone , raised an eyebrow while snickering
" I guess the hamsters gone way over his quota of physical activity "   Sunggyu groaned louder than before , while Woohyun nodded agreeing to Myungsoo's statement
"Are you ok Gyu Hyung ?" Woohyun asked while brushing Sunggyu's sweaty bangs away from his forehead   Sunggyu moaned in response , enjoying the feeling of Woohyuns hands threading through his hair , pushing his head closer to the others hand
Woohyun grinned his eyes disappearing as he kept his hyung gently
"Woaaahhh Look Mandarins !!! " Myungsoo's voice broke the tranquil atmosphere between them
" Where ! Where ! " Woohyun shouted excitedly as he rushed away from the elder , leaving Sunggyu with a big frown on his face   "Aisshh Stupid Myungsoo " Sunggyu thought annoyed , willing himself to open his eyes to see what his friends were upto
He smiled Seeing Myungsoo and Woohyun jumping around while admiring a bunch of mandarins artfully hidden from prying eyes by the bushes surrounding the area   " How the hell did Myungsoo see them in the first place ? " Sunggyu wondered
"Ahh This one looks wierd " Woohyun said pointing at one which was on the lowest branch
"Hmmm I guess its err injured ? ....Probably not goin to ripen and just rot away" Myungsoo mused about to pluck it off   Woohyun swatted Myungsoo's hand away from the fruit before he could touch it.   Myungsoo held his aching hand glaring at the other ,while Woohyun held onto the fruit protectively   "What are you doing ! Its injured and your trying to kill it !! " The younger frowned dissaprovingly
"Its going to die anyway..... Unless you plan on Treating it ,Which I assume you do ? "Myungsoo mocked him   "Yes " Woohyun answered determinely as he closed his eyes and stood on his toes planting a chaste kiss on the mandarin   Both Sunggyu and Myungsoo watched shocked wondering what Woohyun was trying to do   Woohyun slowly opened his eyes and locked onto Sunggyu's own eyes, still kissing the fruit. Sunggyu couldnt find it in himself to breath anymore as he kept staring at the younger boys intense eyes as he withdrew from the mandarin .
Woohyuns eyes slowly shifting from his Hyungs eyes, to somewhere lower on Sunggyu's face .Sunggyu flushed red when he realised that Woohyun had eyed his lips while awkwardly biting his own before looking at the ground completely embarassed   "If you dont mind me interrupting your flirting session .....What the hell was that about ?" Myungsoo asked clearly amused with Woohyuns wierd display   "My mom always kisses my boo boo's away .....So now Mr Fruits going to be Fine and grow up big and strong ! " Woohyun said proudly forgetting his embarassment   Both older boys stared at Woohyun as though he had suddenly grown a second head before rolling on the ground laughing their 's off pointing at him   "He--eeyy !! Dont laugh at me !" Woohyun screeched  once again embarassed and a bit hurt , folding his arms
Myungsoo kept rolling hysterically on the floor whereas Sunggyu feeling rejuvenated jumped up and engulfed the cute boy in a loving embrace   "Awwww How can you be so cute " Sunggyu cooed placing small kisses on Woohyuns cheeks
"Gyu Hyung ! It tickles " Woohyun giggled happily hugging him back, Hearing the other react so positively to his kisses made Sunggyu feel brave enough to place a small peck on the youngers lip   Woohyun stood speechless , while Sunggyu slipped out of the embrace avoiding his eyes walking away briskly , harshly pulling along a smirking Myungsoo shouting back to the other
"Its late Woohyunnie ! Go home ! I'll see you tomorrow ? " Uncertainly   Woohyun who was kind of resembling a tomato , fingertips touching his lips disbelievingly ,smiled widely when it finally kicked in, that his beloved hyung had actually kissed him , shouted back giddily
" I cant wait Hamster Gyu ! Say Hi to Kimchi for me !!"
2 YEARS LATER   Sunggyu walked nervously towards his house , close to hyperventilating as his hands brushed against the single rose in his pocket   After Much deliberation and heartache , watching Woohyun getting confessed to every other day by girls younger/ older and even guys and maybe some violent persuasion methods curtosy of Myungsoo ,Sunggyu had finally decided to confess to the younger   He took a deep breath as his house came to view , the plan was to meet the younger at their special place where he met Woohyun all those years ago, after taking a shower and putting on those Hedious clothes Myungsoo had made him buy in the name of fashion   As Sunggyu opened the gate to his house he found it odd that Kimchi didnt come running to greet him like it normally would , instead he found his dog growling and scratching the front door , come to think of it there was an unfamiliar expensive looking car parked a little way from his house   Having a bad feeling Sunggyu approached his house trying to calm the disturbed dog barking furiously at the door   "Kimchi ! " Sunngyu yelled about to scold the dog in a strict voice pulling and fastening its lease away from the main door, when a scream echoed from inside his house   "Mom ! " Sunggyu thought in despair attempting to pull the door open , cursing when he found it locked .He d around in his bag for the extra key when he heard a familiar voice in the house
"I'm warning you for the last time ! Keep away from my new family ....Dont think I dont see through your plan to trap Woohyun using Sunggyu ! " A man screamed
"I dont know what the your talking about " Sunggyu's mother screeched angrily   "Shut up !! I know your after the money ! If you know whats best for you , you'll keep your greedy hands off my money! If you dont ,you can say Goodbye to your son Sunggyu,I have more than enough power to make your lives hell " The man threatened coldly   Sunggyu who was listening at the door , ducked for cover when he head footsteps approaching the door . He watched misty eyed as his Ex Father stalked out of the house getting into the car driving away without turning back   "You bastard !! Your the one who's greedy !!! Leaving behind your family for some wealth ! I'm not like you ! How dare you threaten to harm my baby ! " Sunggyu's mother wailed as she sank to her knee's   Kimchi who was barking ferociously till the car left , managed to break free from the lease and run into the house trying to comfort Sunggyu's mother who was kept letting out heartwrenching sobs , tongue lapping at her tear striken while nuzzling his mothers cheeks   Sunggyu felt sick watching the scene , and quickly without his mother noticing left the premises , a million thoughts plagueing his mind as he escaped   "So Dad is hurting Mom again and this time because of me ......No My mom doesnt deserve to suffer ! She took care of me inspite of everything ! She's my only family ! I cant let this go on ....He may even start hurting Woohyun and his mother soon ! No I cant let this happen I wont let this happen , just because my family failed doesnt mean his has to as well "   Sunggyu's heart sank when he knew what he had to do to protect his Family and to protect his Woohyun
FEW HOURS LATER AT THE PARK   "Gyu Hyung where were you !! I was waiting so longgg , I thought you forgot about me " Woohyun pouted , he pointed to the mandarin tree while continuing " Look Hyung after my kisses the tree's have started giving more fruits than before ! "   Sunggyu who refused to look at the younger came to an abrupt halt a few metres away from Woohyun clenching and unclenching his hands nervously
"Hey ? Is something Wrong ? " Woohyun questioned worriedly stepping forwards to his silent hyung   "Stop " Sunggyu said coldly "Dont come any closer "
Woohyun's eyes widened in shock at the cold tone as he stopped moving altogether
Sunggyu felt his eyes prickle , but knew it was now or never , as a put on an Icy stare as he spoke the next words   "I think I've had enough of this crap of pretending to be friends with you ......We've been friends for like 9 years and still you havent given me any money or any valuable item till date and your suppose to be filthy rich " Sunggyu scoffed   Woohyun looked like he was punched in the stomach , as he stammered back
"Wha-at are you talking about ......I dont understand ! "   Sunggyu let out a bitter hollow laugh as he kept talking
"Your such a fool ! Whats there to understand , Its obvious aint it ? I was ing using you thinking I could get my hands on some easy liquid cash but in the end I wasted my time for nothing since you were obviously stingy and useless. Couldnt even take a hint ! And worst ! Ruined all my potential relationships with your disgusting gayish wayss.....Ewww I just hate people like you !! " Sunggyu finished spitefully   "Yo-uur Li-einng !! " Woohyun denied extremely hurt   Sunggyu closed his eyes willing back the tears as he gave the final painful blow to the boy he loved more deeply than himself   "I Hate you Woohyun ......I always have .....You stole My father from me and I wanted you to feel the same pain I went through ......Surprised arent you ? You didnt know about your stepfather's past did you ? Well now you do !! And now that I have had my revenge I dont need you anymore.....So get your filthy gay self out of my sight and never speak to me again!!! "   With that Sunggyu turned around not wanting to look at the heartbroken boy in front of him as his own tears escaped his eyes , a few seconds passed when Suddenly Sunggyu found himself
