CHAPTER THIRTEEN

EONGHAN walked through the coffee shop's door, the bell ringing as he entered. checking his watch he looked back up searching for soonyoung who had practically begged him to show up.

"jeonghan," his head snapped in the direction from where he had heard his name. there, frantically waving his hand, was soonyoung.

accompanied by seungkwan as well as jihoon. he made his way over to the table, the sunlight beaming through the wide window.

"I ordered you something already, since you were ten minutes late," soonyoung commented, pushing the cup towards his friend.

"why'd you wanna meet? what was so important that you made me cancel on seungcheol?" jeonghan said.

the three boys all looked to each other, sharing looks that were confusing to jeonghan. he sipped his drink as he waited for them to answer.

"so...you and seungcheol..." seungkwan questioned, the three boys leaning in closer to each other. their eyes drilling holes straight through jeonghan.

the older boy just raised an eyebrow, implying he didn't know what they were asking.

and so they went on; "he came back awfully happy."

and then seungkwan rolled his eyes and blurted out, "his smile was the smile of someone who got some ass. I would know, hansol always smiles like that afterwards."

jeonghan practically choked on his drink, while soonyoung's and jihoon's jaws hit the floor of the cafè. seungkwan earned himself a soft slap on the arm from soonyoung, all he did was mutter 'what'?

the room temperature suddenly rose, and jeonghan's face turned a bright red, "w-hat...I...im under no obligation to discuss that."

jihoon gasped, covering his mouth with his hand, "you guys did fuck."

jeonghan tried to grasp the situation his friends were putting him through, why were they so interested in this? he was too flustered to even answer.

"but I thought you were mad at him?" soonyoung skeptically asked.

"listen, I'm leaving—"

"no!" the three boys said in unison, leaning on the table as jeonghan began to stand up causing him to sit right back down out of embarrassment from their noisy voices.

"why do you guys want to talk about this? it's my personal life."

"because we're your friends, we share these things with each other duh." seungkwan rolled his eyes at the end, expecting it to loosen his friend up a bit.

instead he just shook his head while taking another sip out of the cup. he was planning on making a run for it, but he knew his shorter friend has a lot of speed built up inside him.

then soonyoung clicked his tongue and snapped his left hand, "it was make up sex."

the two other boys 'oh'd before turning their attention back to jeonghan.

"why are you so interested in this?"

"cause, were looking out for you. is it serious you know? jeonghan, I just don't wanna see you get hurt," soonyoung was now half smiling.

"we've known seungcheol since highschool, aside from you he's only had one other but she played him a lot," jihoon sipped the iced coffee.

"played?" the older boy questioned.

"yeah, he caught her and just always let it go. she was kind of a bitch." seungkwan confirmed. "he always just let it go, she like brainwashed him into thinking no one would love him. we tried convincing him that she's a piece of shit."

"I'm telling you. A B-I-T-C-H." jihoon commented.

jeonghan suddenly felt a pang in his heart, he never knew this. none of it, and he was realizing that he never even asked seungcheol about himself. not as much as seungcheol made sure to find out about him.

as a matter of fact, jeonghan did not know a lot about his new significant other.

"I didn't know she was that bad," he said.

"yeah, he never really talks about her, not as much as he talks about you. I swear this boy," seungkwan raised both his eyebrows and rested his chin on his folded hands.

"so are you serious about him?" soonyoung asked.

before answering, jeonghan thought to himself. was he serious about seungcheol? he assumed yes because all he wanted was to just be with him. constantly, he loved the way he made him feel.

like it was just them and no one else. no one else mattered besides each other.

and he enjoyed that security.

"all I know is that I really really fucking like him," jeonghan sighed while leaning his head against the window. "not to sound cliche but he makes my heart race and all that crap, more than jisoo ever did."

all the boys froze, their mouths hanging open. jeonghan realized he finally was able to speak his name without feeling like his own throats was enclosing itself.

and that is when they all knew, jeonghan was definitely serious about seungcheol.
