when they broke up, yukhei was there to comfort him;

🌼

❝what do you mean he broke up with you!?❞

jungwoo raised his head up from his phone and had his brows furrowed at the guy that just suddenly barged inside his room without knocking. ❝well, hi?❞

slamming the door close, the tall male got inside and just realized how dark his bestfriend's room is. he can't even see him very clearly. ❝woo, tell me. why did he break up with you?❞ he tried to soften his voice but he was damn mad about this news.

rolling his eyes after a sigh, jungwoo threw his phone on his bed. ❝yukhei, i sent you the message five minutes ago.❞ he told him, giving him a look. ❝how did you—❞

❝your parents are not home, you left the door unlocked, and let's not talk about how fast i got here.❞ the younger had cut him off, explaining fast before eyeing back at jungwoo who had been obviously crying. having his frown grow deeper, yukhei was reminded his purpose as to why he came by to his house in an instant. ❝why did he break up with you?❞

closing his eyes, the oolder took a deep breath to collect himself before he'd go and break down in front of his bestfriend whom he knew he was there because he's just worried. ❝i didn't tell you we broke up.❞

❝you said—❞

❝we just needed a break.❞ that sounds like the same thing but jungwoo didn't want to think of it that way, it'll hurt him more than how it is hurting him right now. ❝he just got too busy. he's graduating and he needed more time to focus in his studies.❞

they talked about it and neither of them had hard feelings. they agreed in taking a break, it wasn't caused with one of them causing a bad deed. for all we know, doyoung loved jungwoo as much as the male loved the older. his boyfriend— well, ex-boyfriend, didn't have the intention to break his heart. they ended in good terms and they still keep in touch. doyoung even asked if jungwoo got home safe just moments ago.

although, it hurt jungwoo so much. he just didn't want to show it when he was with doyoung, but it did break his heart.

❝jungwoo..❞ yukhei didn't even know he had been holding back his breath.

he ran so fast the moment the older messaged him. he knew jungwoo needed him, that's why he should be there. he ran so fast, almost got into an accident but let's not talk about, that he just had to catch for air right now.

❝i'm fine.❞ trying to put up a smile, jungwoo wanted to reassure the younger that he had nothing to worry about. ❝there's nothing wrong. i understand why—❞

he didn't have to lie, yukhei coule see right through it. also, despite of the dark room, he could see those puffed eyes and can tell that he has been crying.

cutting the older off from his sentence, yukhei threw his body towards the male and gave him the most tightest hug that could comfort him in so many ways. jungwoo froze there for a good minute before his hands slowly went up to wrap around the younger's body and the next thing he knew, tears already welled up in his eyes. burying his head on to his bestfriend's shoulder, jungwoo started to cry hard.

❝i'm here, it's okay.❞ yukhei muttered out, settling himself down on the bed so jungwoo won't get uncomfortable while crying his eyes out.

sobs came out of his mouth and he had his voice cracking while he cried. jungwoo clutched on to the younger's shirt and drenched his shoulder with his tears, sobbing loudly while letting it all out. ❝i-it h-hurts..❞

❝i know.❞ nodding his head, the taller male raised his hand up and ran it through the older's hair. he stroked it gently to calm him down, knowing it will take a while to do so. yukhei may have not gone through being in a relationship but he knows. he knows how heartbreaks hurt so damn much. ❝i know that very well.❞

❝i d-don't know w-why..❞ jungwoo paused for a moment to breathe, continuing seconds after and yukhei was just patiently waiting for him to speak. ❝i could h-have just t-told him that i-it was fine if we won't have much time with each other.❞

patting the crying male, the younger just stayed quiet as he wanted for jungwoo to say what he wanted to say.

❝b-but i don't want t-to b-burden him knowing that h-he was already s-stressed from school.❞ jungwoo snuggled close to the taller male as he continued to cry loudly. yukhei was just lucky that his parents aren't home or they could have thought that it was him who made their son cry.

❝sshh..❞ he couldn't think of something but just comfort him and hush his cries down.

❝y-yukhei, it h-hurts..❞

this was it, this was his time. this was an opportunity he should grab. he was given this chance to take. he can finally prove himself that he was worthy for jungwoo. it might not be the perfect time but he can at least show his bestfriend that someone is there for him, and that someone is no other than yukhei.

pulling away, yukhei lifted his hand up and wiped those tears of his with his thumb. making sure they won't fall again before he started to call his name out. ❝woo?❞

sniffling, the other just replied with a nod as his puffed and swollen eyes just stared straight to yukhei's worried ones.

❝i believe that he was just doing it not just for him but also for your sake.❞ what is he thinking? of course he can't do it. he can't just indirectly say 'hey, i'm here for you. can't you see that?' ❝he didn't want for you to think that he has no time for you and let that problem distract you.❞

❝but i'll understand him—❞

❝would you really?❞ yukhei gave him a look. he knew him very well and he also knows he won't be able to handle it for so long if doyoung would lose time for him. ❝look, he just wants to focus in his studies. he didn't mean to hurt you that way. in fact, he's doing it to prevent you from hurting in the future.❞

jungwoo listened very well with his tears still falling down and yukhei always wiping it. really though, he's older than him yet seems like yukhei knew more than him.

❝it's just like what you said,❞ to reassure him, yukhei gave him his usual smile. ❝you two haven't broke up. both of you just needed a break.❞

bringing his hand up, the older helped in wiping the tears in his eyes. he then nodded his head to every word to what yukhei said. ❝then..❞

❝he still loves you.❞ yukhei told him.

this isn't what he wanted. he is supposed to be telling jungwoo that he's just there for him, waiting for him for god knows when. yet, he was doing the opposite.

raising his head up to look at his bestfriend in front of him, jungwoo looked like he was going to burst in to crying any minute from now. ❝do you think so?❞

❝i know so.❞ which, yukhei wasn't lying. as much as he didn't want to say it, doyoung did love his bestfriend. he took care of him just like what he had promised, he cared for him, and he loved him just as what jungwoo deserved. ❝now stop crying, hm? a time will come and he'll be ready back again to be with you. for now, you just had to send him your support. i know he'll do the same with you.❞

❝i w-will.❞ but instead of stopping his tears from falling, he cried even loudly.

it made yukhei panic and immediately engulfed him to a hug, wrapping his arms around the older's body securely. ❝hey..❞

❝t-thank you.❞ jungwoo can't count how many times has it been for yukhei to be with him while he cried his ass out. this was just one of a thousand of memories they had with him crying. he appreciated it actually, a lot. he was glad that he had someone to be there with him.

he is the most luckiest to have a wong yukhei as his friend.

❝anything for you, woo.❞ yukhei smiled, a smile that covered up his frown.

it hurt him so much to watch his bestfriend love someone other than him. heck, jungwoo doesn't even love him the way yukhei does. he hated how he had to realize his feelings for him and instead of moving on, it worsened and he fell even deeper.

he tried to make some subtle moves but jungwoo was too dense to understand.

jungwoo wouldn't think of his actions as something more.

❝what are friends for, right?❞ yukhei even had the strength to laugh when deep inside, he felt his heart being stabbed a thousand of times.

because he's just a bestfriend to him.

finding comfort being in his arms, jungwoo finally had put up a smile while moving closer and hugging back the taller male. ❝yukhei, can you stay over for tonight?❞

and hear him talk about doyoung like how he usually does?

❝that depends, are we watching moana?❞ he can't blame him for having his boyfriend be the talk of his mouth, he can't blame him for being so in love.

because if it were him, he'd even announce it to the whole world how much he loves jungwoo.

❝any disney movie is fine as long as you're here with me.❞ jungwoo mumbled out, slowly drifting off to sleep while still being in his bestfriend's embrace.

❝lion king it is, then.❞ chuckling, yukhei had already noticed the older dozing off.

lowering his head to get the sight of him shutting his eyes tight and snoring soundly, it was then yukhei had shown the frown on his face.

he bit his lower lip as he carefully leaned back to the headboard and stared straight out of no where. he was hurting, but he didn't know how to make it stop. he tried to convince himself that he had no chance but just one look of his bestfriend, it's like he was starting from the bottom again.

if only unloving someone had a button for it then yukhei would have pressed it before it had gotten worse for him.
