The next day, Jongin and Kyungsoo met with Jongdae at a café.

“Jongin!” Jongdae immediately hugged Jongin.

“Hyung…” Jongin smiled as he patted Jongdae’s back.

“I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you. I just didn’t want to hurt you. I wanted to sort this out before you could realize.” Jongdae felt himself tearing up.

“You must’ve had it tough, hyung. It’s okay.” Jongin scratched his nape.

“Aigoo, am I watching a drama right now?” Kyungsoo chuckled.

The three sat down.

“I’m curious as to why you acted like that, dongsaeng.”

“Well, I planned to break up with Kyungsoo when he gets back at the dorm.” Jongin bit his lip.

“So you acted like you two aren’t in a relationship?” Jongdae raised an eyebrow.

“Mhm. So it would be a little helpful.”

“Why did you even agree to umma?”

“Because… I’m still young. And I have to follow umma’s orders.” Jongin sighed.

“Jongin, you’re already older than umma thinks.” Jongdae patted Jongin’s head.

“I know but you’ve been treating me so affectionately all my life, hyung. I think that, maybe umma’s right. I still need more experiences in life.”

“We all do, Jongin. No matter how old you are, you still need to experience a lot in life.” Kyungsoo intertwined his fingers with Jongin’s.

“Now that Jongin’s in our side, it won’t take long for umma to surrender.”

“By the way, does Minseok hyung know?”

“Yeah. He was about to break up with me because I was too gloomy so I told him everything.” Jongdae pouted.

“He was about to break up with you?!” Jongin’s eyes widen.

“It’s okay now, Jongin. Don’t get too worked up.” Jongdae chuckled.

Jongin just whined.

Kyungsoo smiled. Everything will fall into place.

On the other hand, Jeonghan’s eyes widen and hid behind a pole when he saw the scene in front of him.

It was Seungcheol and his Jonghyun hyung.

This wasn’t going to end as good as it sounds.

“You tricked me!”

Jeonghan raised an eyebrow.

“If I sent that text, you wouldn’t come.”

“Still! Using Jeonghan as a disguise is upsetting!”

Jeonghan looked at his phone and saw that Seungcheol did send a text to Jonghyun.

“What do you want?”

“I want to… I want you to go and apologize to Jeonghan again.”

“He won’t budge. I know Jeonghan.” Jonghyun sighed.

“He just might if you act like you’re sincere enough.”

“What are you saying?! That I’m not sincere enough?!”

“Put more effort!” Seungcheol glared.

“Why do you even get between us?”

“I’m trying to make peace here, Jonghyun.” Seungcheol groaned.

“Peace my .” Jonghyun scoffed.

“Jeonghan’s really important to me. And I’m sure you’re important to him too. Please think about this thoroughly. You love Jeonghan, right?”

Jonghyun looked down.

“He looks up to you. Still do. He’s disappointed but
