"Huh? Don't worry about me, that food is just for you. You wouldn't last long without a full meal, Win" Sound replied nonchalantly. Win started eating, thinking that Sound probably had a sandwich or something in his bag, but after he asked him about that, Sound just responded that he didn't feel hungry and he ruffled Win's hair.

"Your plan worked, Tinn doesn't suspect a thing. – Gun" this message appeared on the top of Sound's phone. The phone was just between the two guys, so Win accidentally saw the message too. Sound instinctively grabbed the phone and texted back. Win pretended he didn't read anything, but Sound's behavior was getting weirder and weirder, what was going on?

"Have you seen Gun lately?" Win asked.

"Yes, I saw him yesterday, we had lunch together. Why?"

"Nothing... just asking. I've texted him sometimes but his replies are always so short that it feels like he doesn't even want to talk to me at all. Do you think I did something wrong?"

"Nah, I don't think so. He's just really busy. We are all busy now, he's pretty stressed... lectures, projects, his work at night..." Sound responded while texting back to Gun.

"Gun, I beg of you, tell Tinn the truth, I can't handle it anymore. – Sound"

Sound didn't try to hide the screen of his phone too much, from his point of view that message couldn't be misinterpreted, and on top of that Win was probably too focused on his food to notice the text. Sound was wrong. Win looked and read the whole message. His heart felt like on the edge of an abyss, just another hint and it would have fallen right into it.

Win soon finished all the food, he thanked Sound again and then he went away to get ready for an afternoon lecture. At first he tried to remove the thought of his boyfriend having an affair with his best friend, but soon that feeling almost became a certainty as his brain automatically found suspicious behavior in all of Sound's habits. At a certain point, he decided to give Sound one last opportunity to redeem himself and show that he was the loyal boyfriend he pretended to be.

Sound stayed in the park for a while, he didn't have any lecture right after lunch time, and since he was supposed to study his lines for an interview, he decided to stay there and repeat the lines again and again until they were perfect.

"Sound, you're here... what did you mean by that message? You said you wanted to help me... you said you were ready to suffer with me because this is what friends do!" Gun exclaimed irritated after he finally found Sound. The soon to be actor turned to him with a confused face.

"I need time... that's all... but you just don't want to understand that, do you!?" Gun yelled angrily. Sound remained silent. He usually tended to yell back in a situation like that, but this time he felt like he didn't have enough energy to fight back. That feeling was becoming more and more frequent. Sound just hugged Gun and patted his back.

"I know, Gun. I'm a friend of yours and I'm supposed to help you, but you can't ask me to look at you as you destroy your happy relationship just because you're too scared to do the right thing... you can't expect this from me" Sound whispered in Gun's ear.

Several minutes later a picture was spreading like wildfire. It wasn't clear who had taken that photo, but it was clear that it was a picture of Gun and Sound hugging each other, Sound's lips dangerously close to the other guy's cheek. "Love under the trees?" was the cheesy caption underneath the photo.
