"now answer me honestly, do you hate wooyoung?"
san stared at the tiles of the bathroom while the question rang in his head, 'do you hate wooyoung?' the answer was painfully obvious but if he were to accept it he'd lose two people.
"san, look at me," seonghwa said lifting sans head to look at him, "do you really hate wooyoung? or do you hate how much you love him?" seonghwa said firmly
san stared at seonghwa enlightened by his words
"i..." san started "i hate him."
seonghwa looked at the boy seeing how hurt he was,
"i hate him! i hate how he can make my heart do flips! i hate how everything he does makes me go crazy! i-i hate how much he made me love him..." he let out, whispering the last part
seonghwa smiled and hugged the younger before he told him, "sannie, there's nothing wrong with loving someone, no matter the gender. i know how much you care about your parents but if they can't accept you for who you are, it'll only hurt more trying to suppress it!"
seonghwa was right... "maybe... maybe my parents will accept me...?" san thought, holding on to false hope.
"how am i gonna fix things with woo? he probably hates me by now..." san asked
"you did avoid him san, but he still cares about you. wooyoungs is as sad as you, san" san frowned, lowering his head.
"but," san looked up, "you can fix it, but before that happens you need to tell your parents," seonghwa said
the younger didn't want to admit it but he had to. he had to tell his parents, otherwise, he'll keep feeling this excruciating pain every day.
"o-okay! i'll tell them... i'll tell them next saturday, i'll invite them to the park and tell them then" he explained.
seonghwa hugged san one more time before helping him clean the cuts on his arm.
after seonghwa left, san called his parents,
[sn/m means san's mom]
sn: hello? mom?
sn/m: oh san-ah, what's wrong?
sn: um... well i want to invite you and dad for a picnic next saturday if you're up for it
sn/m: oh, i don't have anything planned let me ask your dad
sn/m: okay, your dad is free as well. just send us the location and we'll be there, but what's the reason?"
sn: huh? o-oh um i just want to catch up with you...
sans mom let out a small chuckle and responded
sn/m: alright san-ah we'll see you next week then, bye!
and she hung up.
"easy part is done..." san said to himself before getting up and taking a shower
seonghwa was currently back in his dorm telling hongjoong what happened, after he explained everything he got up and told hongjoong to get dressed since they were taking san out to help him clear his head
"what about wooyoung?" hongjoong asked seeing that wooyoung was also in pain,
"don't worry i already got that figured out, yeosang is gonna take wooyoung out with him, i ran into minho this morning and he heard from changbin that yeosang and wooyoung actually went to the same school,"
"really? how come they don't know each other then?"
"i'm not sure honestly but i mean it's not entirely impossible, right? maybe they talked a couple of times but don't recognize each other now," seonghwa explained as he finished packing his bag for their trip to the aquarium
san was an adult but he still enjoyed going to theme parks, aquariums, zoos, etc... he was a child at heart that had fallen into this burdensome world, so he found happiness in the childhood he missed.
"san?" hongjoong said, looking around for san until he saw him on the chair, "san go get ready, me, you, and seonghwa are going to aquarium!" he exclaimed
"the aquarium? really! wait let me get dressed," san smiled widely leaping over the coulpe of items on the floor to reach his closet.
hongjoong smiled at the younger and told him they were waiting for him in the car.
'how do i even start this, hyung you owe me big time' yeosang thought as he was sat on a table with wooyoung on the other side.
"um...so i guess we went to the same school...?" yeosang asked trying to break the unbearable silence
wooyoung shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms, looking away from yeosang
yeosang wondered how he'd be able to have wooyoung warm up to him, he didn't remember him whatsoever from school so trying to figure out a topic they could both talk about was difficult
"i'm... im sorry about how i treated you when we were at that restaurant, i shouldn't have looked at you in disgust. the truth is i'm not really good with others...i come off as rude most times. i'm sorry if i didn't leave a good impression when we first met," he apologized
wooyoung looked surprised for a bit at the sudden apology, put his hands on his sides, and sat up straight, clearing his throat.
"i'm also sorry... about the people you met there," wooyoung clarified
yeosang smiled after getting a response back, "i guess this is how san felt when you first replied to him..." yeosang smiled shyly placing his hand on his head.
"this might be too soon but i guess things between you and san aren't going to well..." yeosang said
wooyoung looked away again
"no, um... don't worry about san, i don't know why he's acting this way but he'll come around... and if he doesn't fuck him!" yeosang exclaimed
the last part made wooyoung let out a small laugh he was trying to hold in, which made yeosang laugh as well.
"hehet! but seriously i'm sure san has a reason, he isn't the type of person to drop someone when he gets bored. when san loves, he loves hard." yeosang reassured wooyoung
yeosang smiled before looking over to the right to check the clock
"that-" wooyoung said
"oh this? haha don't worry it's a birthmark, there was this teacher back in school that would always point it out back in school, it became an inside joke between her and the class. her name was-"
"mrs. yoon" wooyoung cut off yeosang, " you're that yeosang! kang yeosang? the guy who brought in a rabbit and called it a jumping bird!" he exclaimed
"right! that was me! wait you're jung wooyoung? the jung wooyoung who literally every girl at school simped over!"
they both started laughing and reminiscing the old high school days as they bonded.
and that was when their friendship started to bloom.

Romantizmlove wasn't a happy memory for wooyoung. all he had ever gained from falling in love was the pain that wouldn't leave him. love for san, was different. love in sans eyes was wooyoung, in which san fell in love with wooyoung and eventually so does w...
