After telling the members about their relationship, Daniel and Sungwoon are getting closer to each other. Most of the members especially the maknae lines are happy for them, teasing them saying that they shouldn’t be too obvious outside the dorm and be extra careful. But Jihoon, Woojin, Ong, Minhyun, and Jisung couldn’t be happy for them as they know something was definitely not right but decided to say nothing.

They are practically attached to the hips. Daniel treated Sungwoon like a baby, he dots on him more openly now and as much as Sungwoon would like to appear that he is disturbed, he couldn’t help but smile at Daniel’s attention for him. This is what Sungwoon has always been dreaming of, calling Daniel his.

On the other hand, despite all the efforts Daniel put in loving Sungwoon, he can’t. Sure, he loves Sungwoon, but as a hyung. Not more than that. He didn’t have the urge to hug Sungwoon, to hold him, to kiss him, or anything. Every skin-ship he did with Sungwoon was planned in his mind and was done robotically. With Jihoon, he did it unconsciously like it’s the most natural thing that happened. Despite that, he still keeps his happy, bubbly self to show that he was fine and they are happy. And despite all the attention he tries to give to Sungwoon, his eyes keep darting back every once in a while to look for Jihoon.

Daniel noticed that Jihoon had been skipping meal for quite sometimes now and Jihoon’s mood dropped quite noticeable. Jihoon is not that cheerful like he used to be, he only forced a smile when there’s camera and went frowning once the camera is off. Daniel desperately wants to approach Jihoon to ask about the younger’s condition but restrained himself as he knows once he starts approaching Jihoon, all his efforts on moving on will be in faint and he will just waste Sungwoon’s sacrifice.

“I’m done, I’m going back to study” Jihoon said during their dinner one afternoon. For the nth time, Jihoon didn’t finish his food. In fact, he barely eats.

Daniel, who is busy putting more side dishes on Sungwoon’s plates, shifts his attention to the younger and couldn’t help but worry at him. But he tried to refrain himself from asking and tried hard to focused back on his “boyfriend”.

“You barely eat Jihoon-ah” Jisung said

“Hyung is right, you should eat more, we are very busy and you need your energy to function” Woojin quips.

There’s no use in eating as my energy will drain seeing those too being all over each other, Jihoon thought, but instead replies with a forced smile, “I’ve eaten too much before dinner and I don’t think I can handle more food in my stomach” he tried to joke. His attention keep shifting to the two sitting at the corner, in their own world, doesn’t even spare him a glance. Jihoon missed the time Daniel will ask him whether he has eaten or whether he is hungry every hour and will not stop bothering him until he eats a fair share of food, even giving him his share. Now, everything Jihoon tastes is bitter. Jihoon shook his head at the thought and retreat back to his room.

After Jihoon left the kitchen, Woojin couldn’t stand it anymore as he abruptly stand up and marched towards the two lovebirds, grab Daniel by the collar and punch him square on the face, startled every single soul present there.

“What was that for?” Daniel asked surprised, Woojin’s punch wasn’t that strong for Daniel but still it hurts. And what did he do to offend the younger.

Woojin was about to launch himself at Daniel again but was quickly hold by Seongwoo. “Don’t hold me back hyung, this bastard need to come back to his sense. I know he’s dense, but I don’t think he is too dumb to realized Jihoon’s feeling” Woojin tried to free himself from Seongwoo’s grip.

Jisung quickly ushered the rest of the members out of the kitchen helped by Minhyun and Jaehwan. Sungwoon was still sitting on the chair shocked and don’t know how to react.

“Calm down Woojin-ah” Seongwoo tried to talk, “let’s talk this out instead of hurting him like this, you won’t get anything solved by violence, you are smarter than this” Sungwoon finished

That calmed Woojin a little, but he still looked at Daniel with that glare and if looks can kill, Daniel was sure he was somewhere near the heaven already. “Fine. Let’s talk, but you better watch what you say or I won’t hesitate to punch you again” Woojin threatened.

Daniel knew that if he gets serious, he can easily overpower Woojin, but there’s something in Woojin’s eyes that told him to stay low and listen
