The Project 'Buddy'

~16~

Sunoo blinked at him a few times. Then, he threw his head back and laughed out loud whole heartedly. "That's it? Why are you guys keeping it from me?"

"We...just-don't tell anyone okay?" Jungwon carefully whispered and Sunoo held out his pinkie.

"I promise."

Jungwon hooked his pinkie around Sunoo's and the both of them put their thumbs together.

"Can I know who though?"

Jungwon shook his head. "I...don't know who it is."

Sunoo glanced at him for a while, then sighed. He stood up and held out his hand. "Come on, let's go. I'm tired."

Jungwon nodded and took his hand. They then walked out of the studio together. Just then, Sunoo's phone buzzed and he opened his notifications. Immediately, a smile spread across his face, and he began typing really fast.

Jungwon peeked over Sunoo's shoulder, and saw who is was texting.

Park 🫶🏻 <3

He almost puked. Luckily though, he managed to stop himself and instead, give Sunoo a teasing smile.

"Oooh, who's that?"

Sunoo whipped around to face Jungwon and his faced flushed bright red.

"It's just Sunghoon," Sunoo explained calmly, and Jungwon raised an eyebrow. He looked over at Sunoo's phone again and saw Sunghoon give a sticker, which was a fox with hearts around it.

"It's cute right? He made that," Sunoo flexed and smiled like an idiot.

Jungwon rolled his eyes. "It's just a-"

"No it's not just a sticker. It's my sticker. Like, come on, who would make you a fox sticker when clearly you're not one?"

"Nah, no one would make me a cat sticker," Jungwon confidently blurted out, side eyeing the sticker again.

But, oh, he spoke too soon. His phone suddenly buzzzed now, and when he checked, his face flushed bright red.

It was cat sticker from Jay.

"You were saying?" Sunoo teased, clearly seeing that sticker.

"Shut up, deal with your own Park," Jungwon told Sunoo off, and Sunoo just giggled when he heard Jungwon mentioning his own Park.

"Ooh, are you two a thing?"

"Hell no. I'm just saying that cuz clearly Sunghoon is messaging you but you're too busy being a busybody." He smirked when Sunoo squawked at the amount of notifications he missed and went back to his own world.

Jungwon now turned on his own phone and there were three new messages from Jay. They had exchanged numbers the other day, during their da-meetup.
