Hongbin's POV
After and while I was texting Hakyeon, I was gotten really concerned about him.
•••••
Me: I'm coming over, so make sure the door is unlocked.

Hakyeon: What? Why? I'm not doing that! A burglar can come and take me away!!

Me: What burglar would want to kidnap you?

Hakyeon: -.-

Me: Jokes~ I'm coming because I can.

I grabbed my jacket, slid my shoes on, then ran out of my place.

----------

Once I had arrived at Hakyeon's place, I went ahead and opened the door. I kicked my shoes off and took my jacket off, then walked into the kitchen.

"I'm grabbing some water!!" I said loudly, opening the fridge and snatched a bottle of water. As I opened the bottle and closed the fridge door, all I could hear was soft weeping. "Hakyeon...?" I asked, trying to find him.

"I-In here Bin." He answered quietly. His voice was coming from the living room, and so I followed it.

He was sitting on the couch with his elbows resting upon his knees. His face was buried in his hands, quietly letting out sad sounds. I could hear the soft cries coming from him. I can't imagine what he's going through right now. First, his boyfriend ends up in prison, leaving him alone. Then, his best friend who should be by his side and consoling him right now, just had to snap at Hakyeon and run off without explaining himself.

"Hakyeon?" I asked him calmly, walking over to sit down beside him. "You okay?"

Hakyeon shook his head 'no', moving his hands away from his face, then turned to me. "Do you know why Sanghyuk left me?" He asked, hoping I had the correct answer.

"Sadly Hakyeon, I'm afraid I don't." I told him, rubbing his back. "Perhaps he just needed some air or something..."

"Did I do something wrong?" Hakyeon questioned, allowing a few tears to fall down his cheek. "Does he not like me? Did I hurt him? What did I do?!"

"Hakyeon... Ssh.." I whispered, pulling him into a warm hug. "You did nothing wrong to him, I'm sure of it."

"But Hongbin-"

"He's your best friend, is he not?" I said, and he nodded his head. "Exactly. If there was something that you did, he probably would've already told you."

I unwrapped my arms from around him, and showed him a smile. However, even a smile couldn't work on his worried face. He really misses this guy and he wants to make sure everything is alright.

Gawd. Why did Sanghyuk have to do this to Hakyeon? Why did he have to make him worry like this? If they were truly best friends, Sanghyuk would've told Hakyeon if something was up with him; but no, he didn't tell Hakyeon.

"H-Hongbin?" He squeaked.

"Yes Hakyeon?" I answered.

"Can you..." He said, playing with his fingers, "Get my phone please?" He tried smiling, pointing at the small coffee table in front of us.

I chuckled and nodded my head, "Sure Hakyeon." I said, then leaned forward and grabbed his phone. But then suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. "Hakyeon?" I asked, handing him his phone.

"Hmm?" Hakyeon raised his eyebrow at me and unlocked his phone.

"What's Sanghyuk's number?" I asked, pulling my own phone out.

He looked at me confused and just stared at me for a bit. "W-Why do you want to know?"

"Hakyeon." I said seriously, "Put it in my phone. You'll see later." I told him, unlocking my own phone, then handed it to him.

"U-Uh.... o-okay..." He mumbled, holding my phone in his hands. His hands were shaking, and he just stared blankly at the screen.

"Hakyeon?"

"W-Why don't I just send it to you?" He suggested, handing my phone back to me, and start typing things on his phone.

"Whatever you're comfortable with." I said, opening the chat between us, patiently waiting for Sanghyuk's number.

After a few minutes or so, Hakyeon had finally sent me his number, setting his phone down on the table after. He stood up, moving the hair from his eyes and stretched.

"I'm going to the washroom. Don't do anything stupid Hongbin." He told me, then walked off.

Oh Hakyeon... I won't do anything stupid.

Me: Hey

Sanghyuk: hello? who are you?

Me: Sanghyuk, it's Hongbin.

Sanghyuk: oh... what's up? wait, how did you get my number?

Me: I need to talk to you. And Hakyeon gave it to me earlier. Also, make sure you don't tell Hakyeon any of this. I don't want him to know.

Sanghyuk: oh? i thought the two of you told each other everything? everything okay?

Me: It's just... I'd prefer if he didn't know this one thing...

Sanghyuk: ah... okay. what do you want to tell me?

Me: I like you.

Sanghyuk: haha hongbin, nice joke.

Me: It's no joke Sanghyuk. I really do like you.

Sanghyuk: but we haven't even known each other for a long time! how come you like me?? why?? i still refuse to believe you.

Me: Are you calling me a liar of my own feelings? I know what I feel towards you, and I can't live without you.

Sanghyuk: Hongbin... stop..

Me: I want to go out with you. Please.

Sanghyuk: Hongbin please, stop.

Me: Why?

Sanghyuk: no offence... but you sound a little desperate...

Me: Well I can't help it! My heart is just acting up and I had to tell you! What do you say? Will you go out with me?

Sanghyuk: Hongbin... here's the thing...

Me: Yes?

Sanghyuk: i like someone else....

Me: Oh...

Sanghyuk: don't get me wrong though!! you're truly a great guy! it's just.... there's someone else...

Me: Can I ask you one question though?

Sanghyuk: go for it

Me: Who is it? Is it someone I know?

Sanghyuk: that's a secret...

Me: Sanghyuk, please just answer this one question. Come on, you can trust me. ; )

Sanghyuk: This is something you also can't tell Hakyeon... okay?

Me: You like him, don't you?

Sanghyuk: O-O

Me: YOU DO!!!

Sanghyuk: . . .

Me: aWEEE

Sanghyuk: you seem so happy... i'm sorry...

Me: Sanghyuk, as long as you're happy, so am I.

Sanghyuk: I've got to go Hongbin... I'll talk to you later...

Me: okay... Hakyeon-lover~

Sanghyuk: -.-

And that was all I needed to do.
