A few weeks later

It was finally Friday and Jisung was beyond happy about it. When he arrived to school with Felix, he saw his friends and his boyfriend standing near his locker.

"Hey guys!" Seungmin shouted, getting everyone's attention. The school was still getting used to the fact that Minho, Hyunjin, and Changbin were actually dating people. Not to mention that they're dating the smartest kids in school, no one saw that coming. Stray Kids seemed so invested with themselves that the students never really though they would ever date anyone. No one knew why Jisung, Seungmin, and Felix were so special, or how they were able to get so close to them and they were too scared to ask.

Jisung and Felix walked up their group of friends and Minho greeted his boyfriend with a kiss on the cheek which resulted in the boy beaming.

"Hey how was your morning?" Minho slung an arm around his boyfriend's shoulder.

"It's about to get better." Jisung replied.

Minho tilted his head and raised his eyebrows. "Oh really? Why's that?"

"Because it's Friday and we get to hang out today."

"What if I'm busy tonight?"

"Oh. Then that's okay." Jisung pouted, feeling his mood drop a little. Minho was quick to kiss his boyfriend's pout.

"I'm just kidding, no need to pout. I have something right after school but after that, I'm all yours." Minho smiled.

Jisung slightly pushed Minho away. "You're a dick."

Minho chuckled and pulled Jisung into a hug. "I'm sorry baby."

Hearing the endearment, Jisung couldn't stay fake mad at Minho any longer. He felt his cheeks burn up and he hid his face in the crook of his boyfriend's neck. Minho could feel the heat radiating off of Jisung's cheeks onto his neck and chuckled at his cute boyfriend.

"Stop flirting you two." It was Chan's voice. Jisung looked up at his group of friends and everyone had a disgusted look on their face.

"Oh shut up Chan hyung. Don't act like you haven't done this with Woojin hyung for the last three years while Changbin, Hyunjin and I had to watch, gagging." Minho snapped back.

"I mean he ain't wrong." Changbin agreed.

"Yeah he's got a point." Hyunjin laughed.

Chan placed his hand on his chest, pretending to be offended and Woojin kissed his temple, "Babe, you should've just stayed quiet." He laughed.

Jisung giggled at the conversation, looking around. Seungmin was standing next to Hyunjin and Felix stood next to Changbin, of course. Jeongin stood alone though, which wasn't the first time this week. Yedam started getting distant from the group for some reason. It started on Wednesday, he wasn't with the group in the morning. At first Jisung thought nothing of it but then lunch came around and he didn't sit with them either. He could tell by Jeongin's facial expression, that he too didn't know why his crush had suddenly ditched. Jisung tried to give Yedam the benefit of the doubt, but once Jisung looked around the cafeteria, he saw him sitting at another table with other guys. Probably his other friends? Jisung didn't know and he could tell Jeongin was really upset about it.

On Thursday it was the same. No Yedam at all. He sat with the same people at lunch and Jisung could tell by Jeongin's face and his sudden decrease in mood, that it was effecting his mood negatively. He wasn't the only one who noticed, Seungmin and Felix all noticed and showed concern for the younger boy. They all decided to ask their boyfriends about it but when they did, they all got the same answer.

"I don't know."

Which didn't help at all. How could they not know? They live with him and could just ask him about it, but none of the gang members showed concern about the situation. No one really acknowledged that Yedam just randomly stopped talking to them which made Jisung think it wasn't a big deal, but the latter felt bad for Jeongin. He just wished that Yedam would stop ditching and come back soon so he could stop seeing his friend being so sad.

-

It was lunch time and Jeongin was dreading it. He didn't want to be surrounded by couples while his crush ditched him for three other people. It all happened so suddenly. One day everything was normal and Yedam talked to him like any other day, but the next day he acted like they were never friends, making Jeongin think it was all his fault.

What did I do to make him ignore me? Did I do something wrong? I just want to know what I did.

Those three questions were all he could think of for the past few days. He replayed the last day Yedam hung out with them, over and over in his mind, trying to figure out what he could've said or done that would result in Yedam not wanting to talk to him anymore. On Wednesday, the day the dark haired male stopped hanging out with him, they had a tutor session which didn't go too bad. Other than the fact that Yedam barely looked at Jeongin. It almost seemed like he didn't want to be there and just wanted to go home as soon as possible, which hurt Jeongin's heart.

Thursday was the same as Wednesday. At lunch today, he sat with the same three people he did the previous days. Jeongin just accepted the fact that Yedam got annoyed with him and started to sit with other people. The pink haired male didn't know who his crush was sitting with, they were people from another class.

He probably likes one of them. That's why he's sitting with them. God I'm so stupid for thinking I had a chance. Of course he doesn't think of me like that.

Jeongin stayed quiet for the rest of lunch and when he arrived in his classroom he sat down quickly and started writing something in his notebook. He tried to make it seem like he was busy so he wouldn't have to make awkward eye contact with Yedam when he walked into the classroom.

After class Jeongin walked over to his friends' lockers once he was done with at his own.

"Oh hey Jeongin. Don't you have to tutor someone?" Seungmin said when he saw the younger boy, which caused everyone to look at him.

"Yeah but I thought I'd talk with you guys until it's time because I don't want to wait in the boring library." Jeongin smiled.

"How's Yedam doing in tutor? Is he a pain yet?" Changbin asked chuckling.

"He's been a pain since the first day and it's gradually getting worse." Jeongin joked causing everyone to laugh.

"I'm going to tell him you said that Yang." Hyunjin threatened jokingly.

"Oh please do."

At the same moment, Jeongin felt a buzz from his phone. He looked at the notification and saw a text from Yedam asking where he was.

"I bet that's Yedam." Felix smirked.

"You better hurry. You don't want to keep him waiting." Jisung smirked.

"Good luck tutoring him. Have fun!" Minho said and the other two gang members snickered.

Jeongin bid goodbyes with the others and walked to the library. He dreaded this very moment. He just wanted to lie to Yedam and say that he was sick and that the tutor session was cancelled but he knew his crush wouldn't believe him.

Why do I care if he believes me or not? He would probably be happy that if I cancelled on him.

At that moment Jeongin made up his mind. Neither of them wanted this tutor session to happen so why should he let it happen. He took out his phone and texted Yedam.

jeongin
we can just cancel today's tutor
session. you worked hard the past
couple months, you deserve a day off.
you're also doing good in math so you
don't need today's session

Yedam replied back almost immediately.

yedam
no wait. i don't need a day
off. i really need today's session
because i didn't understand the
math lesson we learned today
so i need you to teach it to me
please.

Jeongin had mixed feelings about his response. Of course he was happy that Yedam wanted the tutor session but at the same time he was sad because it was just a reminder that he will never be more than a math tutor to Yedam and that the boy was not going to need Jeongin for anything else other than help for math.

jeongin
ok i'm coming

When Jeongin arrived at the library he saw Yedam waiting for him at the table. Jeongin took a deep breath and walked over to him.

Yedam looked up from his phone and smiled at Jeongin which made the boy melt in the spot. "Hey Jeongin!"

"Hey Yedam." Jeongin smiled back. "Let's just get this over with quick." He mumbled as he sat down next to Yedam, starting the lesson but Yedam heard what Jeongin said.

During the entire tutor lesson, Jeongin noticed that Yedam wouldn't make eye contact with him, just like on Wednesday. If Jeongin didn't know better he would've thought Yedam was nervous but it seemed more like Yedam just didn't want to be there. He seemed more distant than before and Jeongin just didn't understand why.

Finally the tutor lesson was done and Jeongin started packing up his stuff, getting ready to leave.

"Uh Jeongin?" Yedam said hesitantly.

"Yeah?" Jeongin replied still packing up.

"Do you, want to go get some coffee?" Yedam asked.

Jeongin froze, not believing his ears. He had to be hallucinating. There was no way this was real.

"What?" He looked at Yedam and the latter actually made eye contact with Jeongin for once.

"I mean you don't have to if you don't want to." Yedam broke the eye contact and picked up his stuff.

Jeongin started to panic, Yedam was going to leave. "No wait!" Jeongin almost shouted which caused Yedam to stop and look at him. "I would love to get some coffee." The pink haired male smiled at his crush which caused him to break into a massive grin.

"Ok great! Let's go to Rock Cafe. I'm craving some of their desserts." Yedam headed out of the library and Jeongin followed close behind. They walked to Yedam's nice car and climbed in.

How the hell does he have time to get his driver's license? And how does he have such a nice car? Maybe they are in the mafia.

"I'm sorry for asking you so suddenly. You probably have so much homework." Yedam didn't take his eyes off the road but you could tell just from his voice of how apologetic he was. Jeongin didn't understand why though.

"Don't apologize. I'm the one who accepted your offer. And plus, it's the weekend, I'll have plenty of time to finish my homework." Jeongin reassured.

They arrived at Rock Cafe and got out of the car. When Jeongin walked into the cafe his eyes scanned the place because he loved to look at the decor. Suddenly his eyes landed on three people that were sitting at a table who seemed all too familiar. He gave a closer look at the three and realized it was his friends.

Oh hell no. They can't see me walk into this cafe with Yedam. They're no doubt going to tease me and embarrass me in front of him.

Jeongin full on panicked. They haven't noticed him yet and he wasn't sticking around any longer for them to notice him so he turned around and speed walked out of the cafe, leaving Yedam confused as hell.

Jeongin's crush quickly followed after him, "Hey I'm sorry if you didn't want to come here. I should've asked you where you wanted to go." He apologized again, making Jeongin feel horrible.

He quickly turned around and faced Yedam. "No! It's not your fault. I actually like Rock Cafe."

Yedam just became more confused than ever. "Then why'd you run out of there?"

"It's just that I saw Jisung, Seungmin and Felix at the cafe too and they're going to tease and embarrass me if they see us." Jeongin explained.

"I mean we're all friends, why would they tease you?"

Shit.

Jeongin forgot about the fact that Yedam doesn't know about the massive crush he has on him. How could he forget? He doesn't know.

"Um—uh—they're just like that. Yeah, they just love to tease me all the time no matter who I'm with." The pink haired male lied.

"Oh I see. It's okay we can go somewhere else if you want to."

"No then I'll feel bad. You seemed really excited to eat here." Jeongin pouted.

"It won't be worth it if you're just going to be sitting there, nervous the whole time. It's okay, we can come here some other time. I don't care as long as we're still hanging out together." Yedam smiled to help convince Jeongin that he didn't mind at all.

Stop playing with my heart like this Bang Yedam. Stop giving me false hope. Stop making me feel this way.

"Where are we gonna go then?"

"I say we should buy some cake mix at the store and just bake it at my house?" Yedam suggested.

Jeongin froze for the second time. His heartbeat quickened and he felt his hands get clammy.

His house. I did not just hear him invite me to his house to bake a cake together. Am I hallucinating? Am I hearing things? Is God finally answering my prayers or am I dying?

Jeongin quickly regained his cool and smiled at Yedam, "That sounds perfect." The pink haired male honestly didn't know how he remained calm on the outside because on the inside, he was shitting bricks and doing somersaults.

"Ok great!" Yedam beamed as he walked back to his car. Before he started the car he whipped his phone out and quickly started typing. Probably sending a text to someone but who? Jeongin quickly looked somewhere else, not wanting to invade Yedam's privacy. Soon the boy turned off his phone and started his car.

The drive to the grocery store was quick and sweet. It definitely wasn't enough time for Jeongin to wrap his head around what the hell was happening.

"What kind of cake do you want?" Yedam asked as they looked at the variety of cake mix the store had.

Jeongin shrugged. "I'm honestly fine with anything."

"Ok let's do funfetti." The dark haired male grabbed the funfetti cake mix and smiled, satisfied with his choice.

"Are we celebrating something?" Jeongin joked.

"We might later." Yedam mumbled under his breath.

"Hm?"

Yedam looked at Jeongin who was giving him a confused expression, "Hm? Nothing." He smiled.

"Well let's goooo!" Jeongin basically ran to the checkout making Yedam chuckle.

After they bought the cake mix, the two walked back to Yedam's car and began the route to his house, which is also when Jeongin started to freak out.

Oh my god. It's happening. I'm going to his house. Stray Kids' house. This cannot be real, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Jeongin would be the first outside person to see and go inside Stray Kids' house. Of course gang related people or family members have been but he was the first outsider to go inside and it was sort of a huge deal.

I honestly thought Jisung or Felix or Seungmin would be the first to be invited. Not me! What is this!?

They drove in the middle of a forest for a few minutes before Yedam pulled up to a really secured gated area. Jeongin didn't know where they were. They stopped at the front of the gate and waited.

"Don't freak out." Yedam said out of nowhere.

"Huh? What do you mea-" Jeongin stopped talking when he saw two buff ass dudes walking out from thin air. They were definitely armed. One walked up to Yedam's window and the other walked up to the window on Jeongin's side.

Yedam rolled down both windows. "Hey Wonho."

"Hey Yedam. Is that Jeongin?" Wonho pointed to the boy sitting in the passenger seat, making the latter feel vulnerable and uncomfortable as he shifted in his seat. The fact that this Wonho dude knew his name didn't help much either. Jeongin didn't dare to look at the guy who was standing at his side of the car.

"Yes he is." Yedam didn't seem fazed at the fact that the guard knew Jeongin's name.

"Okay we'll open the gate." With that, Wonho and the other guard disappeared and the gate suddenly opened.

"Okay..." Jeongin said trying to process what just happened.

"Sorry, you probably have so many questions. I promise I'll answer them all once we start baking." Yedam apologized for the third time today. Jeongin just nodded, holding in his questions.

They kept driving for another minute to another gate. Except at this one, you needed a fingerprint and eye scan to get inside. Finally they entered in and drove a few more seconds before Jeongin saw Yedam's house. To say that Jeongin was speechless was an understatement. Saying the house was ginormous was an understatement. It was absolutely massive. Jeongin has seen some big houses too, his own home wasn't that small and his other three friends had decent sized homes. Jisung's house was the biggest he's ever seen but Yedam's house put his house to shame. It looked like five mansions smashed into one. It could honestly be easily mistaken by a castle. How does one not get overwhelmed by living in this home?

As they got closer to the house, Jeongin noticed people dressed in suits standing along the perimeter of the house. He guessed they were guards or something.

Yedam pulled up to the front of his home. He stopped the car which gave Jeongin the hint that it was time to get out it. When they got out, Yedam threw his car keys to a man who was dressed in a suit. That man got in the car and drove off somewhere else.

What is going on?

Yedam looked at Jeongin's overwhelmed facial expression and felt bad for the pink haired boy. "I know it's a lot to take in and I'll answer all your questions I promise."

"Yeah that would be nice." Jeongin softly laughed.

Yedam led them to the front door and opened it open for Jeongin. The latter walked inside and took in all the visuals the interior gave. Everything was furnished so nicely and expensively. Jeongin didn't want to touch anything because he was scared he would break something that costed more than his entire life. There was two grand stairs on either side of the room that lead up to the second floor. On the sides, there were couches, making it seem like the living room but Jeongin knew that this definitely was not the living room. In the middle was a nice table with pretty flowers on them. In the back there were entrances to many other rooms. The white walls were decorated with an expensive painting. The interior was white, gold and black. Making it seem modern but not fully.

Out of nowhere, loud noises filled the house, coming from one of the many entrances in the back of the room. Then the entire gang appeared in front of them.

"Oh hey Jeongin." Chan smiled at him.

"Hey Chan hyung." Jeongin returned the smile.

"We were just leaving." Woojin said.

"Oh! You were?"

"Yep, I'm going to go pick up Jisung." Minho smiled.

"I'm going to hang with Felix." Changbin said excitedly.

"You probably already know where I'm going." Hyunjin said.

"Me and Chan are going to run some errands-"

"-which means you and my brother have the whole house to yourself." Chan finished Woojin's sentence "So be good and don't do anything stupid." The leader said more towards his brother than to Jeongin.

"Don't worry. We won't do anything stupid. Have some faith in me hyung." Yedam rolled his eyes playfully.

Chan chuckled. "Ok we're leaving. Have fun guys." As he passed by Yedam, he smirked at him and the younger glared back at his brother. The others patted Yedam's shoulder as they passed by him.

When the two were finally alone, Yedam turned to Jeongin with excitement written all over his face. "How about we bake a cake and answer some questions?"

"I would love that." Jeongin smiled.

Yedam grabbed Jeongin's wrist and guided him through his home, towards the kitchen. It was like a corn maze. Jeongin was lost even though he was being dragged by someone who knew their way around this house. Finally they arrived to the kitchen and it was huge, of course, and really nice, very modern.

"Let's get started." Yedam walked around his kitchen to grab the materials.

"Can I ask my first question?" Jeongin asked and Yedam gave a nod.

"Where the heck are we?"

Yedam laughed, "We are in my humble abode."

"This is not a house. This is an airport that's in the middle of nowhere." Jeongin scoffed making Yedam laugh even harder.

"Yeah I know it's a bit extreme, but you get used to it after a while. And we are not in the middle of nowhere, we are in the forest."

"Yep, that's basically the middle of nowhere."

"Whatever." Yedam playfully rolled his eyes at the overdramatic person.

"Who were those people at the first gate and how did they know my name?" Jeongin asked while he watched Yedam search around his kitchen.

"They are guards and they're the only people who control the first gate. It's a known rule here that if you bring a guest then you have to tell my brother about it so he can tell the guards up front who to expect and to let through. If you don't then the guard won't allow the person through the gate. This is just so that Chan hyung can make sure that he keeps people, who are a threat to the gang, away. It's usually a hassle which is one of the reasons why we never invite guests over. So, the guards knew your name because I told Chan hyung that you were coming over and he told them. Usually they ask for ID's and do a pat down, but since you were with me, they didn't." Yedam explained as he set down all the materials onto the counter.

Jeongin took a minute to process everything his crush just told him. Yedam went through that 'hassle' just to have Jeongin over? But why?

"Okay but why do you have two gates?"

"Just for security. I think it's unnecessary to have two gates and live deep in the forest, but Chan doesn't want to risk anything or anyone's life just because he didn't go the extra mile to be extra protected." He shrugged, pouring the cake mix into the bowl.

"You know with all this security and this big ass house, I would've mistaken you guys to be a part of the mafia or something." Jeongin laughed.

Yedam paused what he was doing, making Jeongin look up at him. He had a slight smirk to his face and shrugged. "You're not too far off."

Jeongin blinked. Then blinked again. "Huh?"

Yedam laughed. "It's kind of hard to explain and confusing but my family is part of the mafia, which is why we have money. Only Chan hyung is involved in it though. He took over sooner than expected and decided that he wouldn't be too active in the mafia as my family usually is, at least not until after he graduates high school. He still does some things every once in a while to keep status."

"The others have no interest in it, except maybe Woojin hyung. So they're part of the gang that do the "dirty work" for Chan hyung because they like it and have fun spending time together. So they are a gang but Chan hyung is more than the leader of the Stray Kids gang."

Jeongin open and closed his mouth a few times, trying to find something to say but just ended up speechless and looking like a fish.

Yedam chuckled, "Yeah it's a lot I know."

"That's an understatement." Jeongin laughed. "But it's good to know. I would've never guessed."

"Chan hyung rarely ever talks about that side of business, so the others probably forget about it since they're only involved in the gang and hyung almost always joins them." Yedam smiled. "Anymore questions?"

"How do you not get lost in this maze of a house?" Jeongin asked more of as a joke. He grabbed the eggs at the same moment Yedam was reaching for it which resulted in Jeongin's hand grabbing the top of Yedam's hand.

Jeongin had never moved faster in his life than when he retracted his hand back from Yedam's. "O-oh my god, I'm sorry." He felt his cheeks get hot. Jeongin just wanted to bang his head against the counter, hoping that it would help him forget what just happened.

Yedam softly smiled, "It's fine, I didn't mind. And If you've lived here for as long as I did then you learn your way around." He winked at Jeongin and the latter almost started hyperventilating. He felt his knees go weak and if it weren't for the counter that was holding him up, he would've collapsed on the floor. The pink haired male grabbed the measuring cup and quickly walked away to get some water so he could get away from the situation before Yedam saw his red cheeks.

Jeongin took a deep breath while he waited for the water to fill up the cup. He did not just— No. There was just something in his eye. Yeah that makes more sense.

Jeongin cleared his throat as he walked back to his previous position. Yedam hit the egg against the side of the bowl and cracked it inside. He repeated this two more times with the remaining eggs. At the end his hands were covered with goo from the eggs.

"You have something right there." Yedam pointed to Jeongin's face.

"Where?" The pink haired male asked, totally embarrassed. He wanted to die because so far he's just been embarrassing himself in front of his crush.

"Right there." Yedam flicked his hands at Jeongin which caused the goo on his hands to land on Jeongin's face. The pink haired male flinched and opened his mouth in surprise when the goo made contact with his face. He realized that Yedam just played him. Jeongin didn't have anything in his face, his crush just wanted to fling some egg residue on his face. He wiped his face with his hands and opened his eyes and saw Yedam smiling.

"Oops. Sorry false alarm." Yedam shrugged innocently.

Jeongin dipped his fingers into the cup of water he had in front of him and flicked it at Yedam's face making the latter flinch. "Oops. Sorry I had a muscle spasm." Jeongin smiled.

Yedam shook his head and reached into the bowl to grab some of the cake mix. Jeongin saw what he was doing and started running away but he soon came to realize that he didn't know where to go in this giant house without getting lost, so he ran around in the kitchen. Yedam quickly caught up to Jeongin and threw the cake mix at him, covering his his pink hair. He ran away after doing the deed.

Jeongin reached into the bowl and grabbed a handful of cake mix, quickly throwing it at Yedam who was running towards the refrigerator. Thankfully he threw it in time to hit Yedam in the back and neck. The dark haired male reached into the fridge and pulled out a water bottle, opening it and splashing it all over Jeongin, soaking him. The latter squealed and ran away as Yedam chased him.

Jeongin ran back to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle as well, turning around, facing his crush as he got closer and closer. When Yedam was close enough, Jeongin reached out and poured the water all on his head, causing Yedam to open his mouth in surprise. His hair flattened onto his forehead and some of it was covering his eyes. Yedam wiped his eyes from the water that dropped down his face. He shook his head and the water on him darted off of him.

"Oh you are going to get it Yang." He threatened.

Jeongin's eyes widened as he bolted away from Yedam. This time he didn't stay in the kitchen, he ran wherever he could. It didn't last long before Yedam caught up to the pink haired male. He grabbed Jeongin's waist, turning him around to face him. The boy looked at his crush in surprise. Yedam kept his hands on Jeongin's waist which made the latter feel like exploding. The electric pulses resonating from Yedam's finger tips were traveling all through Jeongin's body. The dark haired male's face was so close Jeongin's that he didn't know what to do, he couldn't think straight. It was like he was frozen on the spot, he couldn't move a muscle, not that he wanted to anyway.

Jeongin was breathing heavily, not knowing if it was from running around or if it was because his crush was so close to him. He could see Yedam's eyes flicker from his eyes to his lips making Jeongin's heart pound through his chest. The pink haired male waited for Yedam's next move but was disappointed to see that he moved away from him. Jeongin already missed his touch.

"I-I'm sorry Jeongin, I shouldn't have done that, getting all close. It was a mistake." Yedam rubbed the back of his neck, averting his eyes to the floor.

Jeongin's heart stopped. Right when he thought his crush might've shared the same feelings as him, Yedam took his hope and stomped on it, taking his heart along with it. "...Then why did you?" He asked quietly, curious as to why the boy got so close to him if he was just going to regret it afterwards.

Yedam stayed silent. Jeongin saw from the look in his eyes that he was debating on something. He was definitely hiding something and it didn't seem good, making Jeongin realize why his crush was acting the way he was the past three days.

"You know what, never mind. Don't answer that question." Jeongin sighed and walked away. He knew the answer and he didn't want Yedam to say it out loud or to lie to him. Jeongin hoped he remembered the way back to the kitchen or even the front door, but sadly all the hallways looked the same and he honestly didn't know where he going.

"I like you Jeongin." Yedam quickly said making Jeongin stop. "I did it because I like you a lot, as in more than a friend." His voice got weak at the end.

Jeongin couldn't move. He wanted to turn around and sprint to Yedam. He wanted to tackle the other into a hug and tell him that he liked him too, but he couldn't. He waited his whole middle and high school life, waiting and dreaming of this moment so why can't he take advantage of it? Because he knew that Yedam was lying.

Jeongin heard Yedam's footsteps approaching him slowly. He felt arms wrap around his waist, turning him around. The pink haired male knew he should've pushed Yedam away, but he couldn't help but melt from his touch and Jeongin cursed himself for being so weak. Instead, the boy looked down, not making eye contact. Stop, don't do this to me Yedam.

"Please look at me." Yedam asked so softly. Jeongin wanted to ignore him but he couldn't, so he slowly moved his eyes up to meet his crush's.

Yedam gently placed a hand on Jeongin's cheek, leaving the other hand around his waist. "Say something." He begged.

Jeongin didn't say anything. He couldn't form any words for some reason. All he had to say was that he felt the same way and Yedam would finally be his, so why was he being a coward and not saying those three words? Because Jeongin knew it was all a lie and he didn't want to get hurt more than he already was.

"I've been waiting for you to say that to me for four years." Jeongin began and he could see Yedam's eyes light up. The pink haired male broke the eye contact and pushed Yedam away slightly, removing himself from his crush's touch as he said, "And I want to believe you, but I just can't and I won't. I know what you're trying to do and I'm not going to fall for it."
