Chapter 15

Hyesung couldn’t believe his ears; Eric was not sure whether he was in love with his best friend? He couldn’t understand what he was feeling towards Kangta? How freaking dumb was he?! Not that Hyesung even wanted him to be in love with the other guy.

“What are you saying?”

“I am saying that I don’t mind falling for him.” Eric replied seriously. “He wants me.”

The main vocalist didn’t want to believe even though the older man was being perfectly serious – now that Eric said he might actually fall for him, Hyesung noticed more things in his big eyes. Oh God…why did it scare Hyesung so much? Why was he scared over something he didn’t want? Hyesung had been stubborn for so long that he had not seen anything happen behind him.

“Eric, he is my best friend.”

“So...?

Hyesung had always taken Eric for granted because to him it always seemed like the other guy didn’t care or didn’t have feelings. Eric always seemed so silent and submissive that Hyesung treated him like he treated everyone else – even if he was a member.

“When I and Chilhyun slept together for the first time, I thought that’s it. But after all the kisses, I don’t think he is just nothing to me anymore.” Eric mumbled.

Hyesung exhaled.

“You kissed more than once…?”

Eric snickered like it was obvious.

Hyesung stared deep into the eyes of honesty and slowly began to shook his head.

“I would have stayed with you…” Eric started. “…but you are too afraid of commitment.”

“I’m not.” Hyesung denied.

The leader heaved a sigh and m
