*Knock knock*

"Taekwoon hyung?"

Sanghyuk took a peek into the shared room of Jaehwan and Taekwoon. As usual, Jaehwan was sleeping on Taekwoon's bed again.

He tip-toed into the room and gently closed the door.

He walked over to Taekwoon and slightly bent down.

"Hyung."

He poked his cheek.

"Go away Jaehwan. I don't have time to play with you right now."

"Hyung. It's Hyukkie."

He poked his cheeks again.

"I said go away Jaehwan. I'll play with you when I wake up or something."

He groaned and lightly pushed Sanghyuk's face away.

"It's Hyukkie. Hyukkie. Hyukkie."

Sanghyuk kept on repeating his name as he continued poking his cheeks.

Finally, Taekwoon slowly opened his eyes.

"What do you want?"

"I...I need to talk to you."

"Ugh...Why can't you just ask me during break time?"

He groaned and got out of bed.

Soon, Jaehwan woke up as well, due to the noise they had made.

"Rise and sh-"

"Shut up and go back to sleep."

Taekwoon picked up a pillow from Jaehwan's bed and threw it directly at him.

-----

"What did you want to talk about?"

He softly mummered, loud enough for Sanghyuk to hear.

"Do you know someone named Lee Hongbin?"

"Never."

He immediately spoke without hestitation.

"But...He told me that you were his best friend ever since the day you both entered school...Hyung, are you hiding something from us?"

"No. Hyuk, I think you're crazy. There's nobody named Lee Hongbin in our school."

Taekwoon growled as he banged the table.

"H-Hyung..."

Sanghyuk immediately shivered. He was always afraid of Taekwoon. His gaze, his actions and his words were always scary to him.

"...Sorry. It's annoying when someone asks too many questions."

He lightly ruffled Sanghyuk's hair and sighed.

"I'll be going back to the room if there's nothing else you need to say."

He stood up from his chair.

"I'll surely find Binnie hyung and find out the truth!"

Sanghyuk shouted to Taekwoon.

'Binnie hyung.'

He thought to himself and snickered as he walked away.

-----

"Hongbin hyung! Hongbin hyung!"

Sanghyuk cried out loud as he ran around the hallways, searching for Hongbin. He would always find Hongbin at the Music Room, where he would always be practicing playing his guitar.

But he wasn't there today.

He wasn't even anywhere.

"Maybe he's sleeping..."

He suddenly felt a light and cold tap on his shoulders.

He immediately turned behind.

"Binnie hyung! I finally found you. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Hongbin slightly tilted his head cutely.

"You...You said Taekwoon was your best friend, right?"

"Of course."

"But he said he had never seen or heard your name before."

"He...He doesn't acknowledge me as a friend..."

He slightly frowned and folded his arms.

"...I do."

Sanghyuk sweetly smiled at him.

"Thanks...Hyukkie..."

He chuckled and hugged each other. Sanghyuk felt the coldness spreading all over his body, it felt really weird.

"Do you...trust me, Hyukkie?"

"Of course I do."

Hongbin slightly rested his head on Sanghyuk's shoulder.

"You should."

He softly whispered into his ears and slyly smiled.

-----

"Why does Hongbin even want to find Hyuk anyway? He never did anything wrong..."

Taekwoon lied on his bed and looked at the ceiling.

"Spit it out."

Jaehwan suddenly spoke, causing Taekwoon to jump up.

"Who's Lee Hongbin?"

He snapped.

"It was a student that studied here long time ago..."

"Hyung, I always know when you're lying and when you're not."

Jaehwan wrapped his arms around Taekwoon's waist and looked straight into his eyes. He could clearly see that Taekwoon was nervous and guilty, hiding something from them.

"Hongbin was one of the students in my batch. Nobody really knew about him. One day, he accidentally fell down the stairs. And he lost alot of blood. And by the time he had reached the hospital, it was already too late."

He felt his tears about to fall, but he clenched his fists and tried to hold it in

"Was he...your friend?"

He lightly placed his hand on Taekwoon's hair and softly on it to sooth him down.

"My...My best friend..."

He couldn't take it anymore. His tears kept on flowing out without him caring. His tears soon wet one part of Jaehwan's shirt, but he didn't really care since it was just his pyjamas.

"And somehow...Hyuk's able to see him..."

"H-Hyuk?...No wonder he said he met a friend named Hongbin that nobody knows about!"

"E...Exactly. He doesn't know he's talking to a ghost himself."

"We have to tell him."

Jaehwan was about to get up from the bed when Taekwoon tugged his sleeve.

"Stay with me for alittle while longer."

He pursed his lips and and dragged Jaehwan back to his bed.

-----

"Hyung, what's that you're holding onto?"

Wonshik ran forward to catch up with Hakyeon and saw him holding a file containing a few pieces of paper inside.

"Its the registration form for the audition."

"Hyung, are you crazy? W-We never agreed!"

"I'm keeping it incase we need it for the future."

Hakyeon brightly smiled.

"But none of them will listen to you."

He softly sighed.

"I'll try to convince them no matter what. What about you, Wonshik?"

He turned his head facing Wonshik and slightly smiled at him.

"I...I guess it'll be alright."

"Yay! Now I'll just have three more to convince."

Hakyeon hugged Wonshik tightly.

"I'll be putting these babies in my locker for now."

He let go of Wonshik and headed to his locker, which was right beside him the whole time.

"Hyung!"

Jaehwan suddenly came running from behind.

"What's the matter?"

"Have you seen Hyuk?"

"No...Why?"

"I'll tell you when I have the time."

He slightly bowed and ran away.

"Well that's weird...Jaehwan rarely speaks to Sanghyuk."

Wonshik furrowed his eyebrows and slightly tilted his head.

"But I'm glad that they still have a bond together! Wonshik ah, let's go to the dance room together. You can see me practice my dance too if you want to!"

Hakyeon clasped his hands as Wonshik agreed to his request and followed him to the dance room, which was located at the second level.

The dance room was Hakyeon's most treasured and favourite rooms of all. He never brings anyone into the room, except for Taekwoon, who didn't really care about it either.

"We're here!~"

He happily sang as he switched on the lights and ran inside like a little kid.

"You can sit at the corner over there. I have to practice for a competition."

Hakyeon lead him to the sofa located at the side of the room.

"Competition? You've never mentioned anything about it, hyung."

"I didn't? I'm attending a dance competition in one week time. So I have to take the opportunity to practice during lunch break everytime. I'll definitely bring a trophy back!"

He happily clasped his hands and chose the song he needed to dance to for the competition.

- 25 minutes later -

Hakyeon stopped the music and wiped away his sweat as he sighed and smiled in content.

"Wonshik ah."

He called for Wonshik as he turned behind and looked at him.

"Sleeping...again."

He slightly smiled and walked towards him.

He sat down on the floor and gently swifted his fringe to the side, so that it wouldn't cover his face.

"Sleepyhead."

He lied down and rested his head on Wonshik's lap.

He looked at Wonshik's sleeping face and slightly chuckled.

'Adorable.'

"Hakyeon ah... You can't be gay..."

Hakyeon whispered to himself and lightly slapped his cheek.

"He's just a friend. You can't fall in love with a guy friend."

He closed his eyes and sighed.
