"Have you seen Yeonjun?" the noirette ask around his classmates as it's now after school time. He was supposed to walk together with Yeonjun, but the brunette was nowhere to be found.

As soon as the ring bells, dictating the end of school, the taller didn't see Yeonjun. At first, he thought that the latter must've been gone to toilet to take a dump but that doesn't seem like it. It has been almost 20 minutes since the bell rang. Assuming that he might've gone home, Soobin take his bag and left the classroom.

They were supposed to walk together but since Yeonjun isn't here, he had to walk home alone. The sudden disappearance of Yeonjun disappoint the noirette as he didn't mention anything about him going first.

As he arrived home, his dad noticed the gloomy look on his son's porcelain face.

"Why the long face,dear?" ask his dad.

He sighed before answering,

"Nothing, dad" he shrugged away.

A caring father as he is, he quickly take off his apron and went to his son. He rest his hand on the younger's shoulder. He pat him quite a few times on it,

"Is it about Lil Jun?" he asked, knowing this sunshine wouldn't be down by some cheesy things, unless it's regarding the one he loved.

Soobin pout a bit and nod. His dad ask him to take a bath first and tell him about it later.

The younger obeys his dad and went upstair.

Soon he sit together with his dad for dinner and tell him about Yeonjun.

"You sure about this, Yeonjun??" the shorter widen his eyes hearing the shocking story.

Yeonjun nodded, his eyes welled up as holding back his tears, clearly can see the watery eyes. Sparkling and glittering.

"But, there might be some misunderstanding, why don't you ask him first?" asked Taehyun, patting the older who's about to cry.

Yeonjun shrugs him away, and wipe his tears before it roll down,

"Are you idiot? He's going to find out that I'm some weird homosexual childhood friend-"

"But what if he's also had feelings for you?"

This sudden question made Yeonjun sniffled a bit. He felt thunderbolt in his heart, wishing for it to be true. But he knew, if this all gone wrong, he would've been the one in a lot of pain. He doesn't want his one-sided love to ruin their friendship.

He might've been happier with being friends with him like now, but there's also some feelings in him that he know, he wanted to tell his childhood about how he truly felt. He also doesn't want this feelings to remain unknown to his Soobin but to higher risk, he might be more afraid if Soobin wouldn't talk to him again if he found out.

"There's no way he is, dude. Anyway, I'm just... going to be fine soon..." he said, tears suddenly rolled down his cheeks.

Taehyun and Hyuka look at one another, brings their shoulder up, and look back at the crying older. Both of them hug Yeonjun, in order to calm him down. But being the tough guy he is, Yeonjun held some of his tears back as he replied the hug given to him by his dongsaeng.

"So you just going to ignore him?" Hyuka asked again,

The three of them slowly let go of the warm embrace and Yeonjun nod to the latter's question.

"I'm not going to disturb him..." Yeonjun answered, breaking up an awkward smile as he get up and walk away.

Once again, Hyuka and Taehyun who were left behind, look at each other and burst up a small chuckle,

"Stubborn" they said at the same time.
