The difference between boy friend and boyfriend is that tiny little space they call the friendzone.

"Hey, " Hyukjae jabs Donghae with his finger. "Have you ever thought why we still haven't gotten a girlfriend until now?"

Donghae slowly looks up from his Iron Man comic, "No." Then he continues reading.

"I swear I'm going to rip that comic of yours apart if you keep patronising me with one word replies, " Hyukjae huffs, annoyed.

Donghae flips another page. "Whatever."

"Lee Donghae!" Hyukjae screams, grabbing Donghae's collar. "What kind of best friend are you?"

Donghae lets out a frustrated sigh. "Fine. You really want to know the reason?"

Hyukjae loosens his grip on Donghae's collar, blinking. "What reason?"

Donghae rolls his eyes. "The reason why we're still s."

"Why?"

When Donghae sees his best friend sitting upright, staring at him in an extremely studious manner, he sighs inwardly. What have I gotten myself into?

"Do you know why we fail to get any catch every single time we go to those social matchmaking gatherings?"

"Er..no?" Hyukjae shakes his head.

Donghae pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, "Then do you remember how you ate a bucket of strawberry ice cream and it ended up all over me?"

"Yes, that was during the last gathering! And the last last!" Hyukjae smiles happily, remembering those accidents. "The ice cream was so good!"

"That- " Donghae deadpans, "I don't know, although my clothes probably do. But, did you have to do that?"
