I'm Not Cold; Just Scared

(^_-)Chapter 17(^_-)

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOO" Jinyoung winced as the person on the other line screamed in a shrilly voice that could have beat Somi. The eighteen year old frowned. Wait a minute, that didn't sound like Samuel....

"Um...hello, who is this?" he answered tentatively. "IT'S ME GUNHEE! REMEMBER ME? SAMUEL'S HALF – BROTHER?" the guy answered, still screeching. Jinyoung closed his eyes with a soft "Ah". Of course, Samuel's half-brother, how could he forget? This was the guy who had thought that Jinyoung was Samuel's gay partner...yeah, him.

"But er- Gunhee sshi, how did you get hold of Samuel's phone?" Jinyoung asked.

"OH The PHONE? So, for some reason my idiotic brother left it in my room and all of a sudden it started beeping and it woke me up" Gunhee babbled at top speed. "And don't call me 'sshi', Jinyoung, just call me hyung."

"Ah, sorry If I woke you up" Jinyoung said hastily, hoping that this weird guy would hang up.

"Oh NO, don't be sorry, I was reading the messages. I had never seen anyone call Samuel by such names, you know"

Jinyoung paled. Uh oh, it seemed like this guy was pissed. "I'm s-so sorry for that" he stuttered.

"NO, YOU'RE MISUNDERSTANDING! CALLING SAMUEL A BUTTCHEEK IS SO ACCURATE, HOW COME I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?"

Ok Jinyoung really wanted to hang up now. "Um yeah, listen, go back to sleep I guess I'll call in the morning."

Gunhee clicked his tongue. "Of course, you must be really stressed out if you're asking for love advice. It's ok bro I feel you, girl's minds are weird."

Jinyoung laughed awkwardly. "Yeah...about that, it's not a girl, it's a guy." He said, hoping the dude would be weirded out so he would finally hang up.

"Oh really? All I can say is that maybe you're really overreacting about this. Y'know, life's easier when you start thinking about things lesser and lesser." Gunhee said.

"What do you mean?"

"If you keep stressing out about things, you keep thinking of alternatives that might happen. Like, what if he rejects me? What if he stops being friends with me? What if things become awkward between us? But if you stop stressing out about things, those alternatives won't enter your head"

Jinyoung paused. Hey, that was actually good advice, coming from this guy. "That's great advice...um-hyung."

"You say that like you're surprised! Anyways, gotta go. BYE HONEY!" Gunhee chuckled before finally, Finally hanging up. Jinyoung threw his  phone away and fell backwards onto his bed with a groan. Damn it, life was easier back when he didn't have feelings for Daehwi. "Daehwi ah....give me your reply faster" He said.

<Monday (holiday)>

"Jesus Christ, Daehwi calm the shit down!" Somi said, rolling her eyes for the umpteenth time that evening.

"How the frack can I calm down Somi ya, I HAVE TO GIVE BAE JINYOUNG AN ANSWER TOMOROW AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!" He squealed.

"Wow so Jinyoung did ask Daehwi out? I thought that was a lie Somi was spreading." Jihoon said, shrugging.

"What? I don't spread Rumors! ", Somi said, smacking his arm.

"Jihoonie hyung, did Kuanlin confess to you or you to him?" Daehwi asked, turning to Jihoon. Jihoon thought for a while before answering. "I remember now, he asked me. And obviously, I said yes." Jihoon recalled. Daehwi looked desperate now. "How did you say yes to him?"

"Uh...I just said 'I like you too Kuanlin'." Jihoon said. Somi looked at him incredulously. "Wait, what that's it? Like, no romantic speech or something?"
