Description

Seungri doesn't mind third wheeling Youngbae and Jiyong. Actually, he's quite fond of his best friend's boyfriend. Well, maybe a bit too fond of him. But things take a dark turn - Youngbae passes away, leaving two griefing men behind. Seungri tries to keep his promise to take care of the heart broken Jiyong but this is not an easy task.

Foreword

I got inspired by a comment left on Katy Perry's "Thinking of you". A girl was telling the story of how her grandparents met - her grandmother was engaged to her grandfather's best friend. But the man died, making the granddad promise he'll take care of his fiancée. I don't want to spoil the ending so I'll stop here, cause there's a tiny plot twist.

 

Lee Seunghyun, better known as Seungri, has always been a sickly child - no, he wasn't suffering from anything serious, his immune system was simply too weak. This made him grow skinny and shorter than the other kids who he barely interacted with. His poor health made him skip school constantly and he just couldn't socialize properly. That's why Seungri wasn't upset when his family moved from Gwangju to Seoul - he had no one to miss.

The boy was fifteen when he met Youngbae, who's mother was a colleague of Seungri's mom. He was quite different from Ri, mainly because of his great health. Nothing could bring Bae down, not even the toughest cold. This made him the perfect friend who would sit beside Seungri's bed when his sick and help him with his homework. Youngbae was buff and strong even at that age, unlike the skin and bones Seungri.

"Bae hyung" was his only friend but he didn't mind because it seemed as If he was the only teenager who could tolerate how fragile and awkward he was.  By the age of seventeen Seungri's health got better, he even started gaining weight, making his cheeks adorably round and pink. Yet he was still lacking social skills due to the long years of loneliness. He felt weird around everyone else but Youngbae. The buff boy was the only person he ever trusted.

But this changed one cloudy autumn day when the seventeen year old Seungri made his way to usual hangout spot - the tree house Ri's father built for the two boys. Instead of his best friend Seungri found a handsome boy with feminine features sitting cross legged on the floor and looking through their shared collection of comics. The stranger's skin was porcelain white and just as perfect, making Seungri desperate to touch it. The boy looked up with sparkling doe eyes and Lee lost his trail of thoughts, as if something ran him over, leaving him breathless. He couldn't let out a single word despite his pathetic attempt.

"Youngbae told me to wait for him here." The beautiful stranger explained "I'm Jiyong."

This is how Seungri met Jiyong - his other best friend. Ji was two years older than him and a few months younger than Youngbae. The two of them met at university and quickly hit it off. How wouldn't they? Youngbae and Jiyong were the most precious people Seungri had ever known.

Jiyong was the more feminine, delicate one. He knew how to make people feel special with just a touch or a look. The boy simply had this magnetic aura, drawing you in.

There will be an extra chapter- a recap from Jiyong's POV. I wanted to add Jiyong scolding BaeBae at the end so it would be obvious that he doesn't love the boy more than Jinri just because of the name.
