(Dongwoo’s POV)
That afternoon, Dongwoo sat in his kitchen, pacing, wondering of he should call Jinyoung and just tell him that he actually did like him as more than a friend. It was starting to bother him, especially since he hadn’t been drunk when they had . He had been a bit hung over and SHOULD have felt bad about taking advantage of his friend’s drunkenness. He didn’t, because he was in love with Jinyoung. How do you tell someone you are in love with them, when they have been your friend for many years and they haven’t seen you in the same way? then you go and have drunken with ‘said friend.’ It was a bad situation all together, and one that just needed to be ignored. That was the best way around it.
Picking up his phone, he texted Gongchan. ‘Hey, dongsaeng. What would you do if you made a mistake that you couldn’t undo, but didn’t regret? What if it was with a good friend? Also, what if your friend is interested in someone else and not you?’ Hitting the send button, he put his phone in his pocket and began cleaning up his neglected kitchen. After putting food away, he started on the dishes. He got a reply to his text when his hands were in the water. Rinsing the dishes, he dried his hands off and picked up his phone again.
‘Dongwoo, I would just leave things with Jinyoungie alone. If he likes someone else, it’s a lost cause. Just move on and find someone else to be attracted to. There are plenty of people who like you. Go for one of them. I’m sorry, hyung, but you shouldn’t mess with someone who is already into someone else.’
Dongwoo cringed. Gongchan always had harsh answers, and it was a risk to text him. However, he wanted the truth, and Gongchan was the best person for truth. ‘Thanks, Gongchan…But what if I already slept with him? Is he possibly avoiding me?’
‘LOL. No, silly hyung. He doesn’t remember a damn thing about you ing. Even if he DID, he would just write it off as a good night and nothing else. Sorry.’
Rolling his eyes, Dongwoo simply replied with a ‘Thanks, dude.’ He got the answer he had been expecting from his friend. He went back to his cleaning and didn’t think about it again. As Gongchan put it ‘it was a lost cause.’ Texting Jinyoung, he asked him if he wanted to go skiing that weekend. He was happy when his friend agreed and they set the beginning for Friday morning. He was excited about it now.
(Sandeul’s POV)
That evening, Sandeul went to a cheap diner for dinner. He was surprised when he saw Jinyoung there also…with someone other than Dongwoo. He thought he had remembered his friend telling him that they were together. He also may have been drunk at the time, so Dongwoo may have just told him that he LIKED Jinyoung. Maybe Jinyoung didn’t feel the same way. Walking over to the table, he smiled at Jinyoung. “Hi. May I speak with you for a moment?”
Jinyoung looked surprised. “Um…sure. I’ll be back in a moment.” He smiled at the other man, who nodded. They shared a ‘look’ and Sandeul frowned. Once they were a good distance from the other guy, Sandeul cocked his head. “Hey, do you even REALIZE that Dongwoo likes you? Are you so blind that you don’t even see it? I thought he was your best friend. He really likes you, and you are going to screw it up.”
Jinyoung laughed bitterly. “I barely know you and you think you’re the authority on who I date…or for if Dongwoo likes me? If he really does, he should say something. You sound like you’re just jealous or something.”
Sandeul shook his head. Jiny
