With his two closest friends involved in his love life, WooHyun found he had no one to talk to about his situation. Since DongWoo had first mentioned it, not another word had been said about the situation. WooHyun was thankful...but it made him nervous. He had no idea what DongWoo was thinking, whether he was trying to trick him into confessing he still had feelings for SungGyu...Or whether he was actually offering WooHyun the freedom to go between both elder males as he pleased.
     If it was the latter and he agreed, would he be branded a ? Would it make living in the dorm more awkward? What if the others found out about their little arrangement and were uncomfortable with it? WooHyun couldn't see it being a positive experience for any of them, especially when SungGyu wasn't sure he was even ually attracted to WooHyun. The emotional attraction was there, that much was obvious, but WooHyun couldn't shake the feeling that SungGyu was only curious about the ins and outs of gay relationships.
     He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he failed to noticed SungJong had entered the bedroom, climbed onto the bed, and was currently staring at him from the other end of the mattress. "WooHyun hyung?" The younger called, making him snap out of his thoughts with a startled gasp. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." SungJong shuffled a little closer, smiling kind of awkwardly in WooHyun's opinion. "I was just wondering if you've spoken to SungGyu hyung recently?"
     WooHyun gave him a curious glare, wondering if the maknae had been poking his nose into their business. He shook his head slowly, eyes fixed on SungJong's. "Oh...Okay..." He looked down and shuffled back towards the ladder. WooHyun sat up and grabbed his wrist to stop him from leaving, startling the younger a little. His head shot up, eyes searching WooHyun's nervously for an answer as to why he'd been grabbed so spontaneously.
     "You know something." It was a statement rather than a question. SungJong bit his lip and glanced towards the door. Looking over his shoulder, WooHyun noticed it was ajar and let the younger's wrist go. "Close it and come right back up here." He demanded, SungJong nodded obediently and climbed off the bed. With WooHyun watching his every move, ready to pounce if need be, SungJong checked there was no one in immediate danger of entering the room and pushed it closed. "Lock it."
     The younger hesitated. His fingers hovered over the lock before twisting it until the bolt clicked into place. He tested the door for WooHyun's peace of mind, turning to lean against it for a moment, wondering if he was going to get in trouble for making himself more involved than necessary in the elder three's affairs. After a moment's silence, SungJong lifted his head. WooHyun beckoned him towards him with one finger and a stony glare. Swallowing nervously, the younger crossed the room and climbed back onto the bed, making himself comfortable in the corner.
     WooHyun knew SungJong wouldn't take much persuading to spill everything he was hiding. In fact, he looked positively desperate to say what was on his mind. "I know I shouldn't be getting myself caught up in all of this but..." He hesitated, looking up at WooHyun with timid, slightly watery eyes. "Hyung don't be mad okay?" WooHyun shot him a reassuring smile and shifted himself to sit beside the younger. "I woke SungGyu hyung up the other day to ask him if he was okay..."
     Deciding it was best not to interrupt SungJong while he got everything off his chest, WooHyun gestured for him to continue. "He kinda...You know..." SungJong's cheeks flushed a wonderful shade of magenta as he recounted what SungGyu had said in his head. "He hinted at what you had done with him..." WooHyun flinched, definitely not keen on SungJong being aware of the dirty things that had been going on around him. He forced himself to remain silent.
     "And then I told him a little story about a girl I knew at school and how it related to this situation..." WooHyun tilted his head curiously. "She had a boyfriend and she liked this other guy...She came to me crying on a daily basis about how she loved him and then the next day how she hated him and so on...I'm sure you can relate..." He glanced up, WooHyun nodded slowly, lips pursed. "Anyway I said that if he tried to steal you back from DongWoo you'd end up hating him and DongWoo would hate it him and it would tear us apart..."
     WooHyun's eyes narrowed as he processed what SungJong was saying. "Who told you SungGyu was going to try and win me back?" He questioned, staring intensely at the maknae. Shifting uncomfortably under his scrutiny, SungJong whined and twisted his hands further into the duvet. "SungJong now isn't the time to start hiding things. Did SungGyu say something to you?" The younger shook his head firmly and sighed.
     "Once he told me you'd had that sort of encounter it didn't take a genius to work out SungGyu would be confused...Confused people often make stupid decisions, right?" His eyes searched WooHyun's face and he knew instantly that he'd hit a nerve. The elder definitely understood his point, there was a whole catalogue of stupid mistakes he'd made over the past few months. "That wasn't a dig by the way..." SungJong whispered, returning his eyes to the duvet half pulled over his lap. "Anyway after all that SungGyu hyung upped and left...I don't know if DongWoo hyung was already awake or if we'd woke him..."
     The suggestion was stupid, SungJong realised that as soon as he'd said it. WooHyun smiled a little and settled back against the wall as SungJong picked up again. "Anyway DongWoo hyung wanted to know what happened, so I told him a short version and he left too...After that no one told me anything so..." He shrugged, finishing his story just like that. WooHyun sighed and mulled over the information he'd been given. "Oh and before you get any ideas either. I'm not gay or bi or anything, I just want to help...Plus I'm young enough to be open minded about things!"

     WooHyun smiled at his comment and shook his head. "Honestly SungJongie, you don't want to get anymore involved in this, it's complicated enough already." SungJong tilted his head a little to the side, gave WooHyun a sweet smile and shrugged his shoulders delicately. "But...I'm curious...What do you think about SungGyu? Do you think he's gay?" SungJong pulled a face and looked away, contemplating the question. Giving him time to think about what he'd been asked, WooHyun shifted his position slightly, making the edge of the bed more comfortable against his back.
     "To be honest I don't know." SungJong shook his head. "I never pegged you as gay...DongWoo was kinda easier to guess, he likes butts too much to be completely straight." WooHyun couldn't help but laugh. DongWoo's obsession with patting butts was one of his best known traits. "I think SungGyu's confused...Well...He's bound to be really. It's a completely different world, right?" The elder nodded silently. "Mmm...Maybe once he's had a few months to mull everything over he'll know for sure...You took a while to come to terms with it, right?"
     Another nod. WooHyun was impressed at how easily SungJong was piecing everything together. "I dunno...Maybe he'll be bi, he doesn't seem the type to give up girls that easily." SungJong eyed WooHyun for a moment. "But then you're so greasy when it comes to girls..." He laughed as the elder hit his arm lightly. "It just shows you can't judge a book by its cover." They fell into a comfortable silence, each lost in their own thoughts. SungJong pouted and looked over. "But if SungGyu is gay...How are we going to hide it?
     WooHyun froze, nervous about what SungJong was getting at. "I mean, you and DongWoo have each other, you can be together in the dorm and no one will ever know...SungGyu hyung wont have that and if he's going to be as experimental as I think he's going to be, then there's a good chance he'll go elsewhere for that." They exchanged nervous glances. WooHyun chewed nervously on his lip, wondering if he should fill SungJong in on DongWoo's plan. "Now there's something you're not telling me."
     Rubbing his hands over his face, WooHyun sighed and nodded. "Yeah there is and it's been bugging me for the last few days." SungJong wiggled closer, leaning in to show his interest. "Well...To continue your story, DongWoo offered SungGyu the chance to kiss me..." SungJong's eyes widened in shock and his jaw fell slack. "I know, that was my reaction...I honestly can't understand his intentions." WooHyun sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Why would you offer your lover to another guy? A guy you've previously seen as a rival..."
     SungJong bit his lip, looking away as he thought about what he'd just been told. "My first thought is he might be testing you...To see how strong your feelings for him are. Maybe he thinks if he offers you that flexibility and you don't take it...That would prove to him how committed you are to making things work with him?" SungJong rubbed his chin, falling into silence again as he gave thought to other options. WooHyun was relieved SungJong had come to the same first conclusion that he had. It helped solidify what he was planning to do about DongWoo's suggestion.
     "But...Taking into consideration what we've just spoken about...Wouldn't it be safer for SungGyu hyung to experiment with you? Here in the dorm, where no one in the outside world can see...?" WooHyun felt his argument against allowing SungGyu into his and DongWoo's relationship crack. "I mean...It'd just be awkward if SungGyu found himself someone else to experiment with...Especially if he decides he's not gay...The chances of a scandal starting increase a millionfold..."
     WooHyun closed his eyes, leant his head back against the wall and whined in anguish. He could see both sides of the equation working out to be a horrible situation. Either way Infinite's reputation was on the line and he didn't want them to break up. "Why is this so complicated SungJongie?" He sighed. "There's no right answer here is there?" The younger shook his head with a sympathetic smile.
     "Do you want my opinion?" WooHyun nodded. He was going to take any advice he could get. "Experience everything with DongWoo first because, above everything, he is your lover." That was a given. WooHyun wanted to do everything for the first time with DongWoo and there was really only one thing left he needed to get from the elder. "And then once you're happy that DongWoo's not trying to trick you, let him establish some rules for you and SungGyu to follow and see how it goes. If worst comes to worst you can always say no, right?"
     WooHyun pulled SungJong into an impromptu hug and buried his face into the younger's shoulder. "I don't know what I'd do without you SungJongie..."

     DongWoo was amused by WooHyun's behaviour. The younger had insisted they go for a drive but had spent the entire journey so far staring out of the window, completely ignoring the elder's existence. "So are we just driving or did you have a destination in mind?" He asked, snapping the younger out of his thoughts. Their eyes met momentarily before DongWoo laughed and focussed most of his attention back on the road ahead of him.
     WooHyun pouted, trying to think of a way to word what he wanted to say. He'd spent the entire journey trying to do just that and still hadn't thought of a polite way to say it. Once again he found himself in the position where just blurting out whatever was in the forefront of his mind would have to do. DongWoo seemed to realise what he was gearing up for a slowed down a little.
     "If you have something to say, just say it." He stated, expecting WooHyun to come out with his opinion on the SungGyu situation. Given how awkward WooHyun was being, he had taken the precaution to lower his speed just in case he was overcome by a fit of laughter. The longer the younger stayed quiet the more curious DongWoo got. He glanced over, expecting to find WooHyun still staring at him. Instead the younger's eyes were firmly in his lap, fingers twisting together nervously.
     Deciding he better pull over just to be on the safe side, DongWoo indicated off the main road at the next available turning and brought the car to a safe stop not too far away from North Seoul tower. The memories from that afternoon at the tower made him smile. "WooHyun ah...You know I was serious about SungGyu, right? If you want to do things with him then that's fine by me." He paused, expecting WooHyun to look up in relief. "To an extent..." He added thoughtfully.
     WooHyun screwed his face up, he didn't know why DongWoo speaking so lightly about the situation with SungGyu sat so uncomfortably with him. He lifted his head and stared DongWoo dead in the eye. "This has nothing to do with SungGyu." He stated firmly. There was a hint of surprise in DongWoo's reaction. "And to the original question, yes. I do have a destination in mind." He turned to face DongWoo properly and tilted his head a little to the side.
     Cocking an eyebrow in amusement, DongWoo gestured for WooHyun to share where he wanted to go so they could actually get going. "So are you going to tell me or do I have to guess?" He teased, the smile dropping from his face when WooHyun didn't return the jesture. "WooHyun ah...If you're not going to joke about it will you just get on and tell me already? You're making me nervous."
     WooHyun looked down and took one of DongWoo's hands between his, squeezing it gently. "You know I love you, right?" Their eyes met again, WooHyun remaining silent until he received a nod from the elder. "I want to have ." He stated bluntly, flinching at how unattractive the words sounded. DongWoo's eyebrows elevated in surprise. He opened his mouth to speak but WooHyun cut him off. "I want this time to be different from the others." He continued, drawing out DongWoo's curiosity again.
     "Different how?" He asked before he could stop himself. There were infinite possibilities on how to make different. If he was going to give WooHyun what he wanted, the younger would have to be a lot more specific. The younger's eyes dropped momentarily before reinstating their loving glare at the elder's beautiful face. "WooHyun ah?" He pressed. They wouldn't be able to go back to his parents house now, so if WooHyun was serious about this they'd need to get a move on to find a decent hotel room.
     "Don't worry, I've booked a hotel room." WooHyun stated, appearing to have gained the ability to read minds now. The elder couldn't help but smile, WooHyun had obviously put a lot of thought into this. "They know we're arriving late so there's no need to hurry to get there." DongWoo nodded, mentally willing WooHyun to get back to the point of how he wanted this ual experience to be different. His anticipation was plain for WooHyun to see. Part of the younger wanted to wait until they were safely inside the hotel room to reveal his desires but DongWoo didn't look like he could wait that long. "I want you to inside me."
