seonghwa pulled up to san's house, throwing his car in park and stepping out to walk to his front door. san let his friends know that the front door would be open once they got there, so seonghwa made his way inside without bothering to ring the bell.

"finally, he's here!" mingi shouted while standing up, all four boys in the room clapping their hands dramatically. seonghwa just rolled his eyes and flipped them off.

"you're all so dramatic. i was ten minutes late, sue me!" seonghwa laughed, taking a seat next to jongho on the floor of san's living room.

"we're just busting your chops." san replied, "but i do have something to tell you all. and honestly, i'm not even embarrassed of it. so if any of you make fun of me, i'll fuck you up in my own house."

"the only one of us that would even think to make fun of someone else in the group is you, dickwad." yunho fired at san, rolling his eyes very obviously.

"not true, only you wouldn't make fun of someone else in the group because you're too soft." san stuck his tongue out at yunho who scoffed.

"exhibit a." yunho whispered out, leaning back into the couch as he spoke.

"you literally just called me a dickwad! all i said was that you're soft." san cried out, trying his best to defend himself.

"i mean, you kind of are a dickwad..." mingi trailed off, looking down into his lap. seonghwa and jongho tried their best to hold back their laugher, not wanting san to go off on them.

"you're only saying that because your dick is so far up yunho's ass that it's coming out of his mouth." san crossed his arms.

"sorry, i'm just agreeing with the facts." mingi shrugged and yunho leaned over to give him a slightly awkward hug.

"ok whatever, let me speak!" san waved his arms in the air and everyone shut their mouth so the boy could speak, "so i like this guy, and some of you might be able to guess who it is."

all the boys began thinking, unsure of who it could be. jongho opened his mouth, spitting out names of guys he knew were gay in the grade, "is it hyunjin? woonggi? maybe it's beomgy--"

"no no and no! all incorrect." san put his arms up, waving them in front of his face so jongho would stop speaking.

"so who is it? i honestly have no idea who it could be." mingi asked with furrowed eyebrows.

seonghwa had an idea in his head, but he kept it to himself. he remembered that night the two of them watched hongjoong and his friends and how san acted a little touchy with wooyoung... but then again, it's san. he acts that way with anyone who shows the slightest bit of interest in him.

but what if it is wooyoung? if he admits to liking wooyoung, then i could tell everyone about joongie...

"i'm honestly surprised hwa didn't guess it, but i'll tell you anyway. it's jongho's brother's friend, that loud kid named wooyoung." san said and the audience's reaction was pretty mixed. yunho looked surprised, mingi looked slightly weirded out, jongho stood up and started clapping his hands, and seonghwa smiled to himself.

"bro, really? didn't you call them all freaks not too long ago?" mingi asked and san began defending himself.

"ok yes i did, but that was before i had to watch them with hwa one night. when i got there, i was able to get a good look at wooyoung. he's exactly my type, beautiful, funny, and whipped for me." san flicked back his imaginary hair, earning laughs from everyone besides yunho.

"so the only reason you like this poor boy is because he's 'obsessed' with you?" yunho furrowed his eyebrows, putting finger quotes around the word 'obsessed'.

"no! that's not it, and i seriously mean that. i'm not going to lie though, at first i was planning on using him... but then i got to know him better. i found him on instagram and started dming him, and he's actually such a nice guy. for once in my life, i think i see someone for more than just their body." san looked down and began playing with the hem of his shirt, suddenly feeling shy after admitting he had real feelings for wooyoung.

yunho jumped up and ran over to san, attacking him in a huge hug, "never once in my life have i been proud of you, but i can finally say i'm proud to be friends with choi san!"

the room erupted in laughter as san pushed yunho off of him, "you're still soft." san whispered out as yunho took a seat next to him.

"i don't care if you call me soft this time, i'm seriously so proud of you!" yunho put a hand on san's thigh in a comforting way, smiling at the boy.

"thank you, yunho. but i haven't talked to him in person since the night at ho's house. if i'm being honest, i'm sort of afraid to speak to him. not because of what others might think, because fuck other people's opinions, but because i don't want to mess this up. like i said, for once i actually like someone enough to potentially date them one day... i don't want him to end up hating me because i'm an idiot and sometimes say things i shouldn't say." san shook his head as his heart beat increased, suddenly getting very nervous.

"well maybe we can help you out, san. i mean, he is my brother's friend after all. we can ask them to sit with us at the lunch table on tuesday, obviously since we don't have school tomorrow, or something like that." jongho suggested and san at first nodded his head, but then shook it again.

"but i wouldn't want you guys to have to sit with them if you didn't want to. maybe i should try to sit with him instead, maybe ask if he wo--"

"no! tell them to sit with us, i think that's a great idea if i'm being honest." seonghwa interrupted san's sentence, san and mingi looking at him confused. yunho and jongho smiled to themselves, knowing seonghwa's secret and why he said that.

"i mean, sure if you'd like... but why would you want to sit with them? don't you hate hongjoong?" san asked.

"um, w-well i..." seonghwa began stuttering out, "can i be honest for a second? not to divert the attention from san, but it would only be appropriate to tell you guys this now that san's said his feelings."

san and mingi began nodding their heads vigorously, dying to know what songhwa was talking about, "well, i also like someone. i like this boy a lot. he's honestly perfe--"

"ok bitch, spit it out!" mingi screamed out, making seonghwa laugh at his eagerness.

"it's hongjoong. jongho's brother, hongjoong." seonghwa smiled, san and mingi gasping in response. san noticed the sly smiles on yunho and jongho's face and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"why don't you guys seem surprised with this? did you know? that's fake, seonghwa! you left us out!" san stood up, stomping his foot like a child would if they didn't get their way.

"i can explain that! well obviously, jongho is his brother. i asked for his permission to make sure it was ok with him for me to take hongjoong out and whatnot. and yunho... well, he was the first to know." seonghwa admitted, scratching the back of his head. jongho stood up quickly, surprised with seonghwa's statement.

"what the hell? i wasn't the first to know! you're a prick." jongho pointed to seonghwa, pretending to be hurt. the other guys couldn't help but laugh at bit at jongho's reaction.

"i was drunk, ok! i didn't really know what i was saying at the time... i told him when i was still trying to deny my feelings. i didn't tell you until i was certain i liked the boy." seonghwa carefully explained and jongho squinted his eyes at the older, sitting back down on the floor.

"so now two of our friends like boys from the same group of friends? poor yeosang, he deserves a lover too!" yunho pouted, feeling bad for the cute quiet boy.

"then why don't you help him out with that?" san tilted his head, laughing as yunho's eyes widened when he realized what san meant.

for some reason, a fire began building up in jongho. he shook his head no, quickly speaking up before yunho could respond.

"i don't think that'll be necessary, san. yunho isn't his type. also, yunho's straight. he couldn't fall for yeosang, since yeosang is a guy. and yeosang deserves someone who could love him for all of him, not just because they're the only single one in the group." after jongho's rant, the other guys looked at each other with confused expressions.

"calm down bro, it was just a joke. why are you defending him like that?" san asked.

"um, i-i don't really know..." he began stuttering, "well, i mean i know him pretty well... i wouldn't want him to get hurt from a straight boy, you know?" jongho answered with a question rather than a statement, more trying to convince himself than the other guys in the room.

"sure bro." mingi shrugged, still slightly confused but hoping to clear the awkward air that filled the room, "so, the plan is to invite them to our table on tuesday?"

"yep, sounds perfect to me!" san answered and seonghwa smiled widely.

i finally get to sit with my joongie without having to worry about my friend's opinions... perfect.
