Changkyun raised his head and he effectively saw Hoseok. His friend was at the bar and beside him was a tall man who waved at Changkyun without hesitation.
The black-haired boy made his way through the mass and finally joined Hoseok. He smiled at his friend, greeted Hyungwon before Hoseok spoke.

« Changkyun this is Hyungwon. Hyungwon this is Changkyun my best friend. »

Hyungwon smiled at Changkyun and addressed him a few words.

« It's a pleasure to meet you. Hoseok talked a lot about you. He said you were friends since middle school that's right? »
« Yeah, we are like brothers. »

Changkyun smiled. Hyungwon seemed to be nice.
He quickly behaved with Changkyun like they were friends for a long time. He was a funny guy, he was kind, always looking at Hoseok with shiny eyes.
Changkyun could only thought that Hoseok was lucky to have him.

Finally Jooheon joined them after a short time. Hyungwon was as nice with Jooheon as he was with Changkyun. Jooheon found him hilarious and the four boys ended the night in a light mood.
Sometimes Hyungwon had let his eyes scanned Changkyun too much. Like there was something on his mind. But Changkyun didn't give it a lot of matter. He just thought that it was a coincidence and that he was too paranoid.

When they finally came back home, Jooheon and Changkyun noticed that Hoseok was all smiling and loud, and they understood that their friend was just really pleased that Hyungwon and his best friends liked each other this much.
The three stayed a little longer, talking about the past, their desire and hopes. They felt very closed at this moment, so closed that Changkyun forgot everything else, except for a boy: M, who was always in his thoughts.

Changkyun was walking in his room while a few words were escaping his mouth in a illogical speech. He was so stressed about what was emerging in his head, the consequences that could appeared if he accepted that he was in love with a man that he had never seen in his life.
The boy couldn't accept that he had fallen for someone he didn't even know the real name. It couldn't be possible.
But in fact all of this seemed futile. Their long conversations made M real, each confession had help Changkyun's mind to develop his tue portrait and made him a real person. So Changkyun couldn't say that he didn't know M, because he did, in a certain way.
But by accepting the fact that he was in love with M, a lot of consequences came.
First he had to face his feelings, his feelings for M but also for Hoseok. Because he was still in love with him, a almost 13-year love couldn't be forget this fast. However he knew that his love for M was real, that the boy meant a lot for him. And he understood that by the way he felt when he talked with him, by the huge hole in his chest when he didn't see M replying to his messages. It was a strange feeling, and Changkyun ignored how to deal with it.
It was so much trouble for Changkyun's mind, and he was going to have a breakdown.

But suddenly he heard a knock at his door. He raised his head and stayed silence while the voice behind the door was raising.

« It's Jooheon. Can I come in? »
« Yeah sure » the black-haired boy said while he caught a book to look like he was reading it.
Jooheon opened the door and immediately smiled at his friend. He observed him a few seconds before talking to him with a curious tone.

« What are you doing? »
« I'm reading. »
« Your book is upside down. I'm sure you are not gifted enough to read it that way. »

Changkyun looked down and effectively saw that his book was not right. So he closed it and threw it on his bed before questioning the man with the dimples.

« What do you want? »
« I want to take you and Hoseok out to eat. Our fridge is empty, and I want to go out with my two favourite dudes »

Changkyun thought about this for a short time, then he stood up and caught his phone, all of this happening under Jooheon's big smile. And finally he exclaimed with confidence.

« Alright, let's go ! »
« Wow. Seeing you being enthousiast is unusual. But ok, I will tell Hoseok to get ready and then we can go. »

Jooheon ran out of Changkyun's room. It was so unusual for the black-haired boy to accept to go out this quick than the tall one was afraid he misheart his acceptance.
Hoseok was pleased to have some time with his friends, so he got ready in a short time and finally the three of them were ready to go.
