Secret  |ˈsēkrit|

(n) something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others

Myungsoo kept looking at Sungyeol beside him, sleeping quietly. Sungjong’s word itched in his mind. ‘He saw me…It was a mistake…’ Myungsoo shut his eyes tight. It really was a mistake…

flashback

“You do know smoking is prohibited at school’s area right?” Myungsoo glanced at his second best friend. Well the first one has to be Sungyeol. He thought.

“I know.” And Woohyun leaped trough the school’s fences. “I’m not at school’s area now. Care to join me you guys?”

“ you.” Myungsoo hissed and climbed toward Woohyun. “Are you coming Hoya?”

“I am. Not going to smoke though, I need my lungs to be healthy for my competition.” Hoya followed Myungsoo and jumped swiftly. Woohyun lit his cigarette and threw the lighter to Myungsoo.

“I think you need one.” Woohyun said when Myungsoo glared at him.

“And why is that?”

“You’ve been such a lazy lately.” Hoya said waving his hand to avoid the smoke.

“I am not.”

“You are. You’ve been coming late to school lately.”

“I don’t get much sleep you . Beside I keep paying the school on time, so they wont be bothered.”

“I know, chill out geez, I was just saying you need some cigars. Since you look extremely tired lately.”

“I kinda am”

“Might as well tell us why you know. Before namu ask you why…”

“Yah! What does that supposed to mean?!”

“You kind of are nosy…”

“ you Lee Ho Won…”

“No… I’ll be the one who’s ing. Not ed.” Hoya said and Myungsoo laughed.

“Shut up! Now start talking”

“See you’re so ing nosy Nam!” Myungsoo started laughing again, “It’s nothing okay. I don’t get much sleep. I’ve been with someone lately.”

“Yeah? Who is she?”

“It’s a he. My best friend.”

“I thought I’m your best friend!”

“Well then you’re my second.”

“And what makes Hoya then?”

“Oh. He’s the second. You’re the third.” Then it’s Hoya’s turn to laugh his off.

“ you. Is it the tall guy? The one you brought to the night class?”

“Yes, that one. How do you know by the way?”

“One of the girl transferred to morning class. She kinda told some girls you’ve got a boy toy.”

“You need to shut her up.”

“I know that. L-nim doesn’t need that sort of issues right?” Woohyun said to Myungsoo sarcastically.

“ you. There’s no such thing called L.”

“You need to embrace that nickname you know, it suits you.” Hoya chuckled.

“Hell no, those girls need to stop watching that anime.”

“So, what’s with the tall guy?”

“What?”

“What’s with him? What makes you don’t get your time to sleep? It’s either you’re ing him every night. Or.. the other way around.” Woohyun smirked and lit his second cigar.

“No okay. No. We’re not ing each other.”

“So that’s the problem huh?” Hoya said and by that he successfully got a glare from Myungsoo.

“Gosh…” Myungsoo sighed.

“Okay okay. What’s wrong with that guy?” Woohyun asked.

“He’s sick.”

“He probably is, mentally ed that is for having a best friend as y as you and still not each other.” Woohyun said. There goes Hoya’s laughter all over the place.

“Seriously guys??”

“Okay okay, now what? What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s sick.”

“Yeah, we’ve gotten that part already. What’s the sickness?” Hoya asked. Myungsoo stared at his pack of cigarettes.

“It’s XP. They called it that way. It’s a rare disease.”

“I think I’ve heard it somewhere…” Hoya said and thought for a while. Well he was the Student Body President until he realized he loved dancing more than that organization.

“No Hoya, you must’ve read it somewhere between your so called light reading huh?” Woohyun said.

“Shut up you. It’s the disease that you literary become a ing vampire huh? You can’t see the sun without getting burnt. Wow, you’ve gotten yourself an owl best friend. No wonder you took him to the night class. How old is he by the way?”

“17, it was his birthday when I took him to school.”

“oh…” Hoya stared at Myungsoo…”You do know he only get…”

“I know.”

“What? What do you know that I don’t? Someone tell me please. I’m kinda lost here.” Woohyun got confused.

“Basically, if his parents found the disease too late, he’ll only get a few years to live.”

“Oh…….” Woohyun looked at Myungsoo now.”So what now, I guess you fell in love with the guy somewhere along the road huh?” Woohyun guessed Myungsoo correctly.

“Yes. And I thought best friend would be the only thing that’s happening between us. And apparently somewhere my stupid heart fell for the guy… And to add another misery to me, he has no ing idea who am I at school. I have always been that nice guy Myungsoo for him, the one who will always be there when he needs me. I am still that weird kid he met when we were only 6.” Myungsoo clenched his fist.

“So he doesn’t know…”

“No he doesn’t. He doesn’t know I smoke. Doesn’t know my parents left me because apparently Mon Soo got sick and he becomes the priority. He doesn’t know my parents have never come visit me. Doesn’t know that the only thing that makes me keep in touch with them is the fact that they still acknowledge me as their son and keep sending me enough money.” Myungsoo lit another cigar.

“Why you keep it hidden from him?” Hoya asked bluntly.

“Because he’s Sungyeol. He’ll find a thousand ways to help me, to cheer me up, despite the fact that he can barely stand under the sun in 3 seconds without getting burnt.”

“Oh …” Woohyun looked at his best friend, he had never seen him like this before. He might not be the guy called Sungyeol, but he was with Myungsoo each and every day since Myungsoo moved in to the elementary school up until now along with Hoya. Within those years, this Myungsoo, had never existed.

“Does this Sungyeol guy know about him?” Hoya asked. With a simple deathly glared from Myungsoo. He knew exactly the answer.

So basically, from the first chap, every naration, thoughts etc etc came from Sungyeol's side (not point of view). none of them are telling Sungyeol's past, condition, and feelings. so this one. as you can tell right away. Myungsoo's :D tjust for your information, so that it wont confuse you. :')
