for the awesome poster/bg set!

You were the girl who was helplessly in love with your neighbor/childhood friend Soonyoung. It wasn’t exactly determined when did you start having feelings for the said boy but you were obsessed with him and just to be with him was a necessity.

He wasn’t physically attractive nor did he fit the ideal man every girl would swoon over, he was loud, goofy but his bright personality would make him a keeper.

Everyone would want to be friends with “The Kwon Hoshi” because of his fun and outgoing personality. 

“Do I put in something over your mouth or will you ever stop staring at them like you’re going to cry a river in the next minute.”

“Oh crap, was I too obvious?” you immediately snapped out of your trance as a familiar voice emerged from your right, as you turned Lee Jihoon came into view, who gave a nonchalant smirk and took the empty space over the bench you were sitting on.

“Can’t you just tell him that you like him to get it over with?” he suggests, looking over the same direction where Soonyoung was found, being all subltle with skinship and touchy gestures with a red haired girl. Lee Haeun was the girl you wished you were, just for the sake of having Soonyoung close by, that is.

“You know I can’t. It’s just too late and better off unsaid. Just look at how happy they are! Like I’d have a say on that?” you gestured, slightly annoyed because it could be the millionth time that Jihoon advised you the same thing.

“Of course you’ll have a say, you’ve known him longer than she has.” He casually passes over the bag of chips that were freshly opened.

“Like that’s enough” you deadpanned, without breaking eye contact on the same direction but your hand was already digging through the chips.

“Dude, Soonyoung just met Haeun last semester and you’ve been around since that kid even had his weiner peeled--” you startled Jihoon when you started choking and nearly spewing out the chips you were munching on.

After a few coughs and chugging down the remains of your water canister, you can’t help but land a good smack on the boy’s head.

“That’s for your foul choice of words” you made a karate chop move over his head, but your laughter can’t be held back as his last two words still rung over your head.

“At least, I managed to put a grin on that pathetic face of yours because you’re being the noble woman again. You are going to die as an old maid if you’re going to keep that up” Jihoon puts over a defensive arm, you weren’t actually stopping yourself from ‘karate-chopping’ his head and it gets harder by the next blow.

“Says the man who can’t even get a girl’s number” you taunted.

“Hey, I only keep 2 women on my contacts, I can’t invite any more female names aside from my mother or she’ll burn it when she sees it. Oh in case you're asking for the other one, it's my mother”

Though it’s been on everyone’s knowledge that Jihoon’s also on the dating category, you were certain that he was allergic to women and somewhat doubted if he was even attracted to your kind.

“You mean even my number is not allowed?!” you stopped midway, and Jihoon eases, digressing from the previous talk. It never occurred to you that his girlfriend would be that kind of girl.

“Yeah, well actually I told her you’re queer. But still I have your number, I didn't really put your name to it just yet because she's been monitoring.” he exclaimed, briefly taking out his phone and showed you what he meant after a few swipes on the screen.

“Unbelievable Jihoon. I didn’t knew Yanderes were your type”

“A Yande--what?" he threw another judging look "Hey, no changing topics here. I just wish you’ll muster up the guts to tell Soonyoung the truth, are you still scared that he’ll reject you and probably push you away?” you inwardly frowned when Jihoon swerves back to the “Hoshi talk” and getting away with it is less likely since you were dealing with the actual expert.

Lee Jihoon was Soonyoung’s heteroual-life partner, who else could you be expecting?

“I... you know he’s already having trust issues with me after that bike incident. He was obviously nuts for the girl and can’t even sense the witch’s facade” your head goes toward Jihoon’s direction but you evaded his probing gaze.     

“I’m not also stupid to read between the lines, I know Soonyoung’s annoyed with the fact that we’ve been getting mistaken as something else”  your eyes rolled to the side again, continued frowning over a few thoughts you hated admitting.

According to your peers, your families and colleagues you share a special form of chemistry with Hoshi. Everyone’s been rooting that you and him will eventually get married because you were inseparable, it wasn’t exactly delegated to them properly and that it was all on a one sided basis. He was a friend on a whim.  

Back then, Kwon Soonyoung was just fending off the school bullies who’d pick on you because he can’t bear the sight of those snotty kids picking someone who isn’t their size, he’ll make you stop crying by sharing his candies. Back then he was just inclined to partner up with you in school projects because no one wanted to. Back then he just kept giving you yearly birthday presents but those, were actually from his parents after having heard of the false rumor that you were dyslexic which circulated during primary school, and you knew it all.

“Here we go again—I told you already that Hoshi’s not a pity friend!” the smaller man beside you groaned, as if he had read the memory lane you just went through.

“I—“your attempted protest was stopped short when he gave you that signature glare. It is not good to interrupt Lee Jihoon when he’s like this.  

“I probably know when, Hoshi’s partly dumb or he’s being reasonable. But for the record, I’d say that I’m on your side.” Your gaze softened on him, as if your eyes could resemble a puppy’s, you noticed that it startled Jihoon for a split second but he regained his stern face, yet his body slowly draws a bigger distance from you.  

“Don’t even give me that look.”

“You don’t how much it relieves me that someone can actually see through Haeun’s disguise!” you happily declared, feigning to shed a fake tear from the corner of your right eye.

“Besides, Hoshi doesn’t have rights yet, he’s still on competition with that Joohyuk guy from the Physical Education Department.” Jihoon assured immediately going back with the business of devouring the rest of what’s in the bag of chips. They were Honey Barbeque Lays to be specific.

It took almost a minute for you to come up with a response.

“Really? But why are they kissing already?”

“Huh? What in the world are you....saying" Jihoon faintly finished his sentence, equally in shock after seeing what you had just witnessed with him

In the distance, you’ve seen Kwon Soonyoung affectionately hovering over Lee Haeun, what’s more to it was a straight up confirmation that they’re likely under the so called love tree in the campus. Who wouldn’t place themselves under the said tree out of nothing? The fact that you saw their heads moving in odd coordination was the last thing you ever wanted to witness.

Your eyes suddenly felt like burning.

“Oh . The siren’s completely bewitched the ” was all you heard from Jihoon, apart from crumpling up the foil in his hands.

And as you hear the crackling of foil, it seemed as if your heart was the one getting mushed up violently as your mind recalled what you just saw.  

“Jihoon, can you go with me to the bus terminal? I think I’ll be going home on my own this time.."

I'll just leave that right here. I need to remember that this came across my head out of frustration because I read a too sad fanfic about Hoshi and bothered me in so many levels, I freaking wish someone or somehow i get blessed with a decent computer soon because i am stacked with pending stuff.
