“we need to talk”

myungjun says, hands pocketed and face serious. He was tired of running away, tired of avoiding his Bestfriend. He had not been to work in three days and he was not going to miss another.

“i agree” a sigh escapes Eunwoo's lips. Today was judgement day already, wasn't it?

“was it hormones eunwoo or was it something more?” myungjun asks, straightforwardly. Eunwoo was his Bestfriend, he didn't need to be nervous around him.

“Hyung..” eunwoo sighs again. “..I don't think I'm straight anymore.”

What? myungjun's eyeballs almost popped out. What was eunwoo talking about? Not straight? He had been straight all his life.

“You..what are you? Are you telling me you're gay or bi or pan?” Myungjun questions, still shocked at the new found revelation.

Eunwoo shrugs sadly. “I don't know yet. I just really like you hyung”

The whole world-

-it felt like-

-it had stopped.

Eunwoo just confessed. Eunwoo just admitted to feeling more for his Bestfriend.

“How can you like me?” myungjun panics, shaking his head. “You can't.. Eunwoo you can not. Do you know what this would do to us? Our friendship?”

Eunwoo nods. “I couldn't help it. Hyung, you've always been there. In my dreams, in my reality. It has always been you..”

“No!” Myungjun says sternly. “you don't like me like that. I am the older brother you never had that's why it feels that way. You and I are best friends”

“what if I don't want to be Bestfriends Hyung? What if i want to be more? What if I want you?” eunwoo moves closer to Myungjun who in instinct steps back. “what happened that day is something I don't regret and to be honest, if I am given a chance I will do it again. You should think about it hyung...” he smiles. “We would be a lovely couple you know?” he winks, leaving the empty boys locker room while Myungjun simply watches.

Myungjun and Cha Eunwoo,

He could imagine it but he didn't see it.

:::::

“So there's this party...”

“Not going”

“Come on!”

“I said, I am not going” myungjun says, angry as he steps out of Jinwoo's car. He didn't mean to use that tone but the idea of going to a party brought bad memories.

“why do you not want to go?” Jinwoo asks, stepping out of the car.

“Because I don't like parties” he fumes, wanting to be done with this discussion. Kim Myungjun was not going for any party period and no one was going to cajole him into going.

“Hyung..don't you think its time you live a little?” jinwoo presses on.

“and don't you think its time you man up and talk to Taehyung?” myungjun retorts as jinwoo groans.

“That is not-”

“Have a lovely evening Park Jinwoo” he scoffs, entering the gate. He could hear jinwoo call after him but he ignored it. The idea of going to a party only meant bad things would happen, didn't they watch movies?

He enters his house throwing his bag on a couch, repeating the ritual of throwing himself on the couch and turning on the TV.

A bad habit, myungjun was now used to.

“So, Park Jinwoo uh?” a voice says from behind almost scaring myungjun to death. He turns to see his brother's fiancé standing behind him.

Why did his brother's fiancé give him chucky horror movie vibes?

“he is a friend” myungjun shrugs, searching for a good movie, he could escape into.

He hears the shuffling of feet and in few minutes, the man was seated beside him on the other edge of the couch. Myungjun thanked God for that. He didn't like people evading his personal bubble.

“Does your brother know?” yoongi's voice rings again in his ears.

“know what? And which of them?”

“Taehyung..” he calls out. “..does he know you're good friends with his ex?”

myungjun's eyes widens. What? Min yoongi knew who Park Jinwoo was? Ofcourse. He was bound to know, he was his brother's fiancé.

“what? You don't know jinwoo's his ex?” yoongi raises a brow misinterpreting the shock on myungjun's face.

“No. No I do” myungjun replies, staring back at yoongi.

“Then why are you always hanging around him?” yoongi questions, his tone soft.

Myungjun was wowed. Yoongi used the word; 'always' implying subtly that yoongi had been watching. Something his brother's had not noticed, yoongi had. So was yoongi very observant or was his alliance with Jinwoo open enough?

But then, it wasn't like he had anything to hide. He wasn't hiding park jinwoo. It was Jinwoo who was hiding himself.

“He hangs around me. Not the other way around.” myungjun explains.

Yoongi nods. “Do you know how they broke up?”

myungjun shakes his head. Even yoongi knew this much about Taehyung and he didn't. Like Seokjin had said, this was karma and Karma was one fair being - not a bitch why? Because he low-key deserved it.

“I figured because if you knew, you wouldn't be hanging around jinwoo” yoongi says, folding his arms.

Myungjun furrows his brows, his gaze scanning yoongi like a hawk. What did he mean by 'if he knew, he wouldn't be hanging around jinwoo'? Taehyung was the one who ended things, right? It was Taehyung who called things quit, why then did yoongi sound like jinwoo broke up with taehyung?

But then..it was nothing he could really know because both parties refuse to tell him what went down.

“I guess it's a good thing that I don't know then..” myungjun scoffs, turning his gaze back to the TV, hoping yoongi wouldn't bring it up again.

“Taehyung...” yoongi sighs, catching myungjun's attention. “Tae doesn't know how to deal with issues. Instead of sorting out problems or talking them out..Tae he tends to run away from them...”

myungjun knew that but why was yoongi saying that all of a sudden. “what are you trying to tell me?”

“that you shouldn't give up” yoongi encourages, his gummy smile replacing his tired ones. “Keep fighting to know the truth, don't stop asking him because I feel like the one person he needs right now is not me but you and Seokjin Hyung.”
