a/n: well hello there. /awkwardly bows/

i know. i know. i'm super duper late and the chaps not as long as the first one and it's super duper crappy and idk i'm sorry. there are many reasons as to why i couldn't update. i had many ideas (i still do) but it seems they don't want to bother staying put i'm some text. and i wasn't motivated enough to keep on writing on this. and then there are many personal reasons, too. i'm really sorry.

i thought about quitting. but i can't and i like this story so i hope you'll stay tuned and wait patiently for my updates.

theres' something else i want to warn you about. i may seem like i hate sungyeol because i make him suffer and make him cry. but i love him, okay? he's my one and only. so even tho he's sad and heartbroken here and there, he'll be happy in the end.

btw to everyone that subscribed, upvoted and commented i want to say: THANK YOU! it helps me a lot when I get feedback.

so enough of this talking. (i hope you) enjoy!

Sunggyu visits him (and Sungyeol can’t believe he skips school for him). The elder is so worried Sungyeol really might call the ambulance. (He has his phone in hand because his hyung freaks him out so much but that gets snatched away because he’s sick and needs to rest.) For now he forgets about it.

“What do you want to eat?”

But only because he’s hungry. “Anything!” he yells and the elder needs to massage his temples. (Sungyeol’s voice can be shrill at times.) “It only needs to be tasty!”

Still, Sunggyu smiles, his dongsaeng sure is a cutie. “Okay, then I’ll go groceries shopping.” He grabs the keys and his wallet. “Don’t open the door, understood?”

Sungyeol nods.

“And don’t run around.”

He nods again.

“And please, don’t lock the doors.” He still remembers that time when Sungyeol shut himself in his room only to be funny and make him angry but turned out to be a whole disaster in the end.

Sungyeol walks the stairs up and down and, at some point, turns right to get into the kitchen. He feels kind of hungry. But there’s nothing beside some sweets and some healthy stuff. He doesn’t know what he wants but it’s definitely not anything that’s inside there.

He stomps his way upstairs again and tries to finish some homework he forgot to do. It’s a miracle he makes it without Sunggyu’s help. But he misses his hyung. He wants him to come home faster because he feels alone. “Hyung..” he whines.

And right then, the doorbell rings.

He almost falls down the stairs but catches himself and rushes to open the door. His smile isn’t even a smile anymore, it becomes a wide grin.

“O-oh.. h-hi..”

For a few seconds, he stands there, disappointment filling his whole body. He’s only thought of his friend that he forgot about his task, his plan he needs to perfect to get Saeron to like him.

“Uhm, th-these are work sh-sheets for the u-upcoming test in Physics..”

Sungyeol stares at the boy. (‘What was his name again?’ he asks himself.)

His classmate blushes (if not harder than before) and he feels strange. He shouldn’t have come in the first place, right?

“Thanks.” the taller gets out and invites the boy into the house (what he shouldn’t do because Sunggyu will tell his parents and his parents will nag him but whatever). “I’m not good at Physics, can you help me?”

It surprises the both of them. “Uhm, sure..”

“Thanks!” So, Sungyeol runs up and changes his clothes. (It’s past midday but he doesn’t care because he slept in and it felt good.)

“M-my name’s Myungsoo..”

The choding grins. “I’m Sungyeol, but you know that already, right?” Everyone knows him. (He’s popular. Because he’s a complete idiot.)

“Y-yeah..”

‘I note, the boy aka Myungsoo stutters a lot.’

Sungyeol stares intensely at him (to notice something else about him) and it’s creeping the other out but he can’t voice out his discomfort, he’s too embarrassed.

“So, you’re good in Physics?”

The question surprises the boy again and so he stumbles over a reply again, “Uhm, a-actually,” it’s now or never, right? “Actually n-no..”

They fall silent. Sungyeol doesn’t know what to say. He feels stupid. (But when doesn’t he?)
