Chansung rolled on his queen size bed, wincing when the alarm clock almost made him go deaf. Reaching out towards the side table, he tapped the alarm clock so hard that it stopped abruptly. Rolling again, he lied on his back and stared up at the ceiling. Today’s weekend and he got not class to catch up to, no notes to study, and no basketball match to practice. Literally, this should be considered as heaven to him but he was boring as hell.

Pulling out his phone, he typed on the message expertly, smiling once he finished typing and hit the button send, and waited for the reply.

From: Chansung
Message: Woodong ahhh~ let’s go out for a date!

About 5 minutes after, he got a reply and beamed by himself, sitting up on the bed and went to take a quick shower.

From: Wooyoung
Message: Sure! I’ll be waiting at the usual park!

Finished taking a quick shower, he put on his casual clothes, checking his appearance on the mirror and once he satisfied, he chuckled and went to take his phone on the side table. He halted on his movement as he eyes dropped down at the unopened drawer, suddenly wondering how long it had been since he last took a peek in it.

Sitting at the side of the bed, he bit his lower lip in hesitation before his hand slowly reached out towards the drawer and pulled. What he saw inside, had him stopped breathing for a split of second. He sat there motionless, staring at the picture with longing eyes—the kind of longing where you missed the person so much to the point it hurts so you decided to just forget about the person.

But really, how could he forget this very person?

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down and reached out for the picture, holding it like it was some fragile glasses and brought it closer to him. How long had it been since the promise? 6 years wasn’t? And to be honest, part of him was hoping that they would never meet again because of their broken promise but half of him was praying—wishing that fate could play its trick so they would meet again.

But then, if they really did meet, he would end up breaking the other’s heart. Sighing, he put it down and closed the drawer.

“Is it possible to love two people at the same time?”

****

When Chansung reached the park, he saw Wooyoung was waiting at the bench before he jogged towards his lover, knowing he was already late.

“Youngie!”

The older looked up in surprise and beamed cutely at his presence. He instantly felt his heart melting at the cuteness and pulled Wooyoung closer by the hand, kissing it lightly as a way to say he was sorry. The older blushed lightly at his gesture and he chuckled.

“You won’t stop blushing, won’t you?”

Wooyoung pouted at his teasing and they started to walk away from the park, walking side by side so close where Chansung could clearly feel the warmth radiated from Wooyoung’s body.

“So, where are we going first?”

The guy beside him asked in excitement and he wanted nothing than to let the beaming smile last longer on that chubby face.

“Ice cream store! I’ll treat you to the most delicious ice cream ever!”

Chansung might be slow, as people called him, but he certainly didn’t missed the hint of surprise in Wooyoung’s eyes when he said ice cream. The older was quiet just for a brief of a moment before he gave him the brightest smile, causing him to smile in affection too.

“I’d love to!”

****

When they came out from the ice cream store hours later, their stomach was full of ice cream and Wooyoung was even humming happily. He chuckled and took the other’s hand, putting it into his jacket pocket and ignored when the older watched him in disbelief.

“Channie, people will see,”

“Then, let them see, I don’t care,”

He said arrogantly and felt that his arrogant was worth it when Wooyoung ducked his head down shyly, a mesmerizing smile was plastered on his face.

“Let’s go for a movie,”

He suggested and Wooyoung nodded his head eagerly. Apparently, his boyfriend said that there’s this new movie that just came out in theatre and he was about to watch it tomorrow. But since Chansung had asked him, there’s no way he would reject him.

Laughing at the adorableness, he gripped the hand in his tighter, aware of how much his heart was bubbling with affection. Within time, he had come to love Wooyoung and he wouldn’t lie about this, but there’s also this little part of his heart he had locked away. And he didn’t wish for it to be opened, because if it did, there’s no way he could stop the love from growing to that very person.

When they reached the mall, they went straight to the top floor and Wooyoung pouted a little when there were so many people queuing for the movie.

“There are too many people; do you think we can make it?”

Chansung hummed as they went to stand in the line too.

“Of course we will, but if we not, we can go to another place. We have the whole day Youngie, so we don’t have to rush it,”

He said with a gentle smile and Wooyoung smiled happily in return. They waited around 15 minutes and Chansung couldn’t feel any happier when he watched Wooyoung beaming in satisfaction once the tickets were in their hands. Buying some popcorn and soft drinks, he jolted in surprise when he heard Wooyoung was beaming beside him.

“What is it?”

“That ice cream! Khun hyung love that ice cream but when we went to the store the other day, it sold out already. I didn’t know they sell it here. Is it new Channie?”

The tall guy blinked at the mention of the name. Wooyoung rarely mentioned others’ guy name when they were spending the time with just two of them and hearing his lover called out Nichkhun’s name tugged something at his heart. Was it the insecurity? Or it was a plain jealousy?

Still, he couldn’t help but wondering if both of them were close enough for Wooyoung to suddenly remember about Nichkhun’s favorite during their date. Of course he knew about them went to the ice cream store the other day. But he was okay with it, because he knew Nichkhun and he trusted Wooyoung. But now, it just didn’t feel right.

“Channie? Are you okay?”

He turned his attention back on Wooyoung who had this concern written all over his face. Forcing a smile, he took Wooyoung’s hand away from the counter and to the cinema hall.

“Let’s go, the movie’s about to start.”

His lover nodded in agreement and they both went into the already dark hall. He could see how excited Wooyoung was to watch the movie but he just couldn’t get off the image of Nichkhun and Wooyoung in his mind. Why was it?

****

“It’s so cool! Do you remember the scene where he jumped over two buildings?!”

Wooyoung chatted excitedly once they finished watching the movie and Chansung chuckled at the excitement.

“Of course, but he got superpower, so it’s normal.”

The guy beside him pouted cutely, puffing his cheeks in protest.

“But Channie—” Wooyoung paused abruptly when his phone rang. Chansung watched in silent when the older took out his phone and smiled. “It’s Minjun-hyung!”

At that, he took one step closer and took a peek at the mail from behind.

“Ah, he’s inviting us to hang out with Taec hyung and Khun hyung at their apartment.”

Wooyoung turned to him, waiting for his decision and he became silent unconsciously, too lost in his thought to give a decision straight away. Why did the mention of Nichkhun bothered him so much?

“Channie?”

“Ah—well, what say you?”

“I’m okay if we go, and am okay too if we don’t.”

Chansung hummed, and thought it was mean of him to suddenly become suspicious of Nichkhun just because Wooyoung mentioned his name once. Beaming a wide smile, he took Wooyoung’s hand and dragged him out of the mall.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get drunk with them!”

****

“We are back!”

Nichkhun yelled from the entrance, his hands both full of groceries bags and he felt like they would go off if he didn’t drop them on the floor soon.

“Hyung, it’s heavy~!”

Junho whined beside him, his hands were full of the groceries bags too and Nichkhun smiled when Junho pouted cutely at him.

“Come on, let’s put this on the kitchen counter.”

He could hear some cheerful chatting coming from the kitchen and once they entered it, he rolled his eyes annoyingly as he saw Taec was giving Minjun a back hug.

“And I expect for both of you to finish marinating that meat,”

Nichkhun teased, followed by Junho’s mocking giggle and they burst into loud laughter when Taec blushed.

“Omo! Is Taec blushing?!”

He said with a teasing laughter whilst Minjun laughed, walking over towards them and took some ingredients from the bags, whilst Junho went to make the juice.

“And here I thought you will back me up.  It’s better if we go to some club or something, rather than marinating the meat.”

Taec grumbled in protest, shooting a dagger towards Minjun whilst Nichkhun laughed, pulling his best friend’s ear with a face.

“Shut up Taec. It’s your plan to have this kind of hang out. Now go and finish marinating the meat.”

Pouting at him, Taec went to take the big bowl and walked out from the kitchen, decided to just marinate the meat in the living room and watched some good show. Shaking his head in affection at his friend, Nichkhun proceed to bake the cake and they were so absorbed in making their dinner that none of them were actually talking.

“Say, did you invite Wooyoung over?”

Junho’s voice echoed in the kitchen and Nichkhun looked up unconsciously, eyes meeting with Minjun when the older looked at them over his shoulder.  There’s something changing in those warm eyes but before Nichkhun could tell what was it, Minjun looked away and hummed weakly.

“Y-yeah, I did. He will come with his boyfriend.”

Ah, Chansung. Well, what he expected? Of course the couple would spend their time together. Nichkhun took a deep breath, hoping that he could calm down when the couple arrived later. He really didn’t want himself to turn into some bad mood guy who just had his period whenever he felt jealous. Well, he couldn’t help but feel jealous if he saw they them cuddling or something, but at least, he needed to control it.

Sighing at his own miserable thought, he put down the vanilla cream and just stood there. A hand settled down on his lower back and he tilted his head to smile at Junho.

“Are you okay? You look distant.”

“I’m okay, just—lack of idea on how to decorate the cake.”

Junho beamed excitedly and looked over his cake, his eyes shining in amusement.

“Whoa, hyung, you really know how to cook!”

Nichkhun smiled cheekily. “Of course I do, why do you think Taec could get that big?”

“I heard that!”

They laughed when Taec yelled from the living room and Junho turned his attention back on his cake.

“Hyung, write my name on it!”

Nichkhun grinned at the idea whilst Minjun scoffed at the background.

“It’s not your birthday, why would Khun write your name on it?”

Junho pouted at the oldest.

“But hyung, it’s been a while since you last celebrate my birthday with me. So let’s count this one, shall we?”

Minjun turned off the stove, smiling in satisfaction once his dubboki finished and went to join them at the middle counter. He ruffled Junho’s hair in affection and pulled the younger to his side.

“If you said it that way, let’s celebrate it at the other place, with just the two of us, okay?”

A smile was plastered on his face at the brotherly affection Minjun just showed towards Junho as he took back the vanilla cream, writing Junho’s name as creative as he could be, adding a heart shape at the end of the name.

Junho was arguing with Minjun about something when he finished writing the name and beamed when Junho squealed excitedly.

“Khun hyung, you are the best!”

“And I expect some grand dinner from you,”

He teased and laughed when the youngest nodded his head eagerly and hugged him from the side, a satisfaction smile was plastered on his beautiful face. Well, at least he could get his mind off from Wooyoung for a while.

****

Minjun left the two of them and went to the living room, smiling fondly when he watched his lover was marinating the meat seriously. He burst into a small chuckle and Taec looked up, pouting at him with pleading eyes.

“What are you laughing at?”

Shaking his head, he walked over and sat beside the big guy, resting his head on Taec’s broad shoulder and sighed.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Taec’s voice was soft and gentle and calming and Minjun closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.

“I’m okay now.”

Taec laughed softly and took a towel, wiping his hands properly before wounding one arm around Minjun’s waist, pulling the older closer by his side.

“You can’t lie to me you know,”

In time like this, Minjun could feel nothing but gratefulness on how much Taec understand him without him needing to explain anything as he hummed when his lover placed a chaste kiss on his forehead.

“I invited Wooyoung, because it would look weird if I didn’t. So that’s mean Chansung is coming over too.”

Taec went silent for a while and he trusted his lover to understand these heavy feelings he had been carrying since the morning.

“To be honest, I think it’s the time for the two of them to meet now.”

 Minjun bit his lower lip in hesitation and settled down by sinking further into Taec’s embrace, letting himself drown in that comforting warmth and forget everything, even it just for a while.

****

Nichkhun looked over his cake with an affection smile before he cast a glance at Junho, who was busy serving the food into the plates. Stretching out his sore muscle of having cooking since morning, he walked out from the kitchen and leaned against the door frame with arms across his chest, eyes softening at the sight before him.

Minjun was leaning against Taec and his best friend was teasing the oldest about something that caused Minjun to pout and whimper. It’s not always you could see a spoiled side of Minjun, because he would only show that when he was Taec.

Somehow someway, they reminded him of Wooyoung and he wondered if he was like that when he was with Chansung. That, Wooyoung had this certain side he hide from everyone and only showed it to his lover. He felt something tugged at his heart when he realized he could never be the one who would see that certain side of Wooyoung.

He was merely a friend to the younger, he knew that but it was hard to accept that very fact. His heart was beating crazily for Wooyoung, his warmth was yearning for him and his whole being wanted Wooyoung from the first moment his eyes fell on the younger. He didn’t know how to stop now that he already took one step towards Wooyoung, and he knew it that it was him who would be left heartbroken. Because really—who would look at him when they got a boyfriend as perfect as Chansung?

A faint knock on the door woke him up from his own thought as he glanced at the door.

“Oh, it must Wooyoung and Chansung,”

He mumbled out, looking at the couple on the couch for a brief of moment and frowned. Was it just him, or Minjun was really looking nervous? Shrugging, he went to the door and opened it, bracing himself from the jealousy and all ugly feelings he would feel after this.

“K-Khun hyung,”

Wooyoung stuttered with heated cheeks, looking up at him with bright eyes and he was taken aback at the excitement radiating from the younger.

“W-Wooyoung,” Nichkhun said, covering his excitement with guilty and looked up at Chansung, beaming as wide as he could. “Chansung-ah, it’s been a while. You still me owe me a dinner!”

He teased and stepped back, letting the two guys to come in and Chansung chuckled.

“Really hyung? If you want me to treat you, just say it, and stop giving me the false alarm.”

Nichkhun chuckled and closed the door, glancing up at Wooyoung unconsciously and offered the younger an awkward smile when the younger was looking at him too.

“H-Hyung, I saw the ice cream at the mall, the one you wanted the last time we went to the ice cream store.”

The younger said with amusement and Nichkhun barely registered that Chansung was already walked over Minjun and Taec in the living room as he was too busy looking at Wooyoung.

“Really? Did you buy it? Why you didn’t buy it?”

Nichkhun faked a sad face and Wooyoung gasped in surprise, guilty was written all over his face as his hands waved in front of him without knowing what to do.

“I-I’m sorry hyung, please don’t be sad. I actually wanted to buy it for you but Channie said that it would melt when I arrived here. W-We can go another time and buy it, this time, I will treat you, okay? I’m sorry h—”

“Wooyoung, I’m joking,” Nichkhun cut the younger with a teasing smile and the younger stopped, eyes in daze as he registered his words. Before Wooyoung could protest anything, they heard Junho yelled from the kitchen.

“Khun hyung, where’s the knife?!”

Nichkhun chuckled at the cuteness and yelled back, “Junho, come out! Wooyoung and his boyfriend just arrived!”

He thought he saw Minjun’s eyes widened so wide that it made him thinking whether it hurts or not. He’s about to tease the oldest when he heard some clanking sound from the kitchen before Junho appeared from the kitchen with a wide smile.

“Ah, Wooyoung-ah! Where is your boyfriend?” Junho beamed and Nichkhun smiled thinly at the mention of the boyfriend. “How dare you hide it from—”

And the rest was silence. Nichkhun frowned at the sudden deep silence surrounding them and looked up, watching Junho staring at Chansung with unreadable gaze. The atmosphere turned tense in a split of second and Nichkhun could feel that it was suffocating him. But that was nothing compared to Junho, who look like he was drowning in the sea or something.

The same went to Chansung and Nichkhun swore he never saw that kind of longing in his eyes before. He watched the youngest took one step towards Junho and Junho retreat back quickly as if he was afraid of Chansung. What was happening? And why both Junho and Chansung got tears in their eyes?

“N-Nuneo…”

When Chansung voiced out that name, it sounded so broken—so fragile before Junho broke down in tears, crying so hard that it scared him. Nickhun turned to look at Wooyoung, who just stared at Chansung and he could almost hear Wooyoung’s heart breaking apart when Chansung started to cry too.
