chapter 6

Jeongwoo was so happy and contented that Doyoung wanted him to stay. Yes they were pretty close with each other, but the elder was insecure. Jeongwoo would be one of the first people Doyoung was trusting like this. And for that, the younger was genuinely happy seeing the progress of their friendship. He agreed to stay and smiled at the shorter male.“Then let's go settle down in my bed and then we can watch a movie maybe!” Doyoung spoke with excitement, his eyes were literally sparkling. But as Jeongwoo was about to accept Doyoung's proposal, the elder's phone rang suddenly. He quickly picked up his phone which prevented the younger to at least take a peek at the user. But Doyoung addressing the user was enough to Jeongwoo's mood in a flash.“Hi Ruto!” Doyoung's happy voice rang in Jeongwoo's ears. He couldn’t help but feel inferior all of a sudden, no he wasn't insecure about himself. He was insecure about Doyoung choosing someone else over him. But why must he feel this way towards a friend he got close only recently with.Doyoung gestured Jeongwoo that he was going to his room for a little bit of ‘privacy' and sprinted towards the said place. Why would Doyoung need privacy from Jeongwoo when he was talking with Jeongwoo's own best friend, Watanabe Haruto. Were they hiding something from Jeongwoo? Maybe something about celebrating his birthday? But yet again it was months away.Or maybe they had something between themselves which Jeongwoo didn't know about. Were they dating? He wasn't sure. But he was almost sure of one thing, either one of them was crushing on the other or both liked each other more than friends.It hurt Jeongwoo to no bounds. First, his Doyoungie gave his heart to someone else ; second, they didn't even feel the slightest need to inform their dear friend about their feelings. It's not like Jeongwoo would be selfish and wouldn't consider his best friend or his Doyoungie’s feelings. He would obviously support them even if he felt hurt. They are his friends after all ! After almost ten whole minutes, Doyoung exited from his room and approached the taller boy with a shy and giddy grin on his face. “Let's go and settle down now.” He spoke and held Jeongwoo's hands.“I don't think I can stay, Doyoungie.” Jeongwoo said, his voice wasn't stern or anything ; It was soft and sounded almost vulnerable.“What why ??” Doyoung asked. He had disappointment written all over his face. But Jeongwoo didn't notice that or wasn't in his right mind to notice how hurt Doyoung was. “Mom told me to go home, it's urgent she said.” Jeongwoo lied. He can't possibly say that he didn't wanna get in between Doyoung sweet talks with Haruto, right? Doyoung, hearing that it was urgent, didn't say anything else. Rather, he embraced the latter in a warm hug. “Goodnight, Jeong-Jeongie. Get home safe okay?” He softly spoke in Jeongwoo's chest. The younger felt euphoric at the nickname Doyoung just called him with. His lips formed a beautiful smile with happiness and sadness mixed together. “Goodnight too, Doyoungie.” And saying so he waved and walked towards in his own with a heavy feeling inside his chest.-Jeongwoo was a little grumpy for the whole time in school. He didn't know but when at morning Haruto came and started babbling about Doyoung to him, he genuinely felt disturbed. He knew he should support his best friend in his love life. But why Doyoung ? This question was stuck in Jeongwoo's mind for the whole day. He could see how Doyoung seemed a little upset. How much he hoped it would be for him leaving Doyoung's place last night ! But of course, Jeongwoo knew it was just something between Doyoung and Haruto. But Jeongwoo soon shook that feeling away, Doyoung was his dear friend after all ! The elder didn't deserve a cold shoulder from Jeongwoo, it's not like he is at fault for liking Haruto. Rather, Jeongwoo felt disappointed in himself for not getting himself to support his two close friends in a relationship. So he decided to talk to Doyoung. “Hey Doyoungie.” Jeongwoo said as he occupied the empty seat in front of Doyoung's desk. The elder waved simply and stared at his desk again.“What happened?” Jeongwoo asked. “I'm just sleepy.” Doyoung replied shortly. The younger sighed to himself. “You know that you suck at lying. Now tell me what really happened.” Doyoung just shook his head to dismiss the topic. But Jeongwoo was stubborn, he had enough of Doyoung being secretive about everything lately. So he held Doyoung by his wrist, and with force, Jeongwoo dragged the shorter out of the classroom.“Where are you taking me to?” Doyoung whisper-yelled. He was struggling hard enough in the latter's strong grip.“We're bunking school today.”
