San knocked on the door and waited for Mingi to open.
"Hey, man. Come in" The two walked in the living room and sat down on the couch. "So, how are thing with Wooyoung?"
"Not good, I lied to him today... I never lied"
"So, why did you?" Mingi tilted his head to the side and waited for his friend to answer.
"I didn't know what else to tell him, we live together so it's kind of hard to avoid him" San was playing with his hands, he couldn't help but feel like he was betraying Wooyoung by saying it out loud.
"I know, it's the same with Hongjoong. We go to sleep together and wake up together, it's hard to pretend"
"You know why I'm feeling uneasy with my boyfriend but you haven't told me about you" San stopped playing with his fingers and leaned back in the couch.
"There's this boy at the office-"
"You cheated????" San gasped.
"No! I would never!" Once San calmed down, Mingi continued. "He runs another studio and we get along really well. We talk a lot and we just, click"
"So, what's the problem? You made a friend"
"Except sometimes I don't think of him as a friend..." Mingi trailed his words before continuing. "I mean, I act like he's a crush. I wait for him to show up all day and feel giddy when he does. But what really scares me is that, we're behaving just like I did with Hongjoong a few months before we got together..."
Mingi let his head fall down in his hands. San felt bad for his friend, he was clearly struggling with his feelings and it couldn't be easy. He got up and went to sit next to him. He swung one arm around his broad shoulders and tried to comfort him as best as he could but there wasn't anything he could say.
++++
The boys eventually decided to play some games on Mingi's play station and get their minds off everything. At one time, San's phone buzzed and he took it out to see who texted him.
<Baby>
Baby: Babe, where are you?? :c
Me: I'm still with Mingi :/
But I'll be back soon, I promise
And we can watch a movie, how does that sound?
Baby: Sounds great, I'll see you soon then?
Me: You bet ♥

<Choi_Jongho>
Twerk_it: So, I'm free today. How about you?
Choi_Jongho: Same! When should we meet?
Twerk_it: Well it's almost lunch so, maybe we can go grab a bit at Mist. Say meet there in half an hour?
Choi_Jongho: I'll be there!
Okay, cool

Choi_Jongho: Hongjoong! Yunho finally agreed to meet! I can't believe this!
piratek1ng: He did? Omg that's great! Where are you meeting?
Choi_Jongho: Mist in half an hour
I have to get ready, I'm barely out of bed :v
piratek1ng: You look so cute, how does your hair look so soft and silky???
Choi_Jongho: It's the conditioner xd
I'll send you a pic
piratek1ng: Choose a good outfit, it's the first time you're gonna be seeing him since the break up
Choi_Jongho: I know, I'm so stressed
piratek1ng: Don't be, I'm sure everything will be fine
Choi_Jongho: Let's hope but tell me about you, distract me
piratek1ng: Well there's nothing going on with me, I'm just hanging out at the studio
Choi_Jongho: Is Mingi there?
piratek1ng: I think so, we don't usually share the studio. He has his own little room where he writes and composes music
Choi_Jongho: Don't you hang out at the same place often???
piratek1ng: No...I thought we would but he spends his days locked in there
Choi_Jongho: That's crazy, you work at the same place, shouldn't you be sharing your work and stuff?
piratek1ng: We used to, when we worked at that clothing store but ever since he joined the studio he's been more distant
Choi_Jongho: Talk to him about it?
piratek1ng: Idk, I don't want to stir up drama if it can be avoided
Choi_Jongho: I think I get you now
Well, I should go shower if I wanna get there on time
piratek1ng: Send an outfit pic?
Choi_Jongho: Sure thing
Sent at 12h24pm

piratek1ng: Now go get your man
Choi_Jongho: I'll do my best

<YourfavoriteSong>
Twerk_it: Dude, I'm seeing Jongho for lunch
Yourfavoritesong: Nice, you guys gonna talk about getting back together?
Twerk_it: First of all, I want to make my feelings perfectly clear
Yourfavoritesong: Your feelings, which are?
Twerk_it: That he chose a friend over me and that it made me feel like trash
Yourfavoritesong: Yikes, yeah you got a point
So, what's the look?
Twerk_it: What do you think?
Yourfavoritesong: Big yes! You're serving looks
Twerk_it: I'm nervous about seeing him again
I really want to look good
Yourfavoritesong: Aww look at you, that's so cute
Twerk_it: I haven't seen him in almost two month, obviously I'm nervous as hell. We were still a pretty new couple so, I'm still fanboying over him every time I see him
I never got the chance to get used to the fact that we were dating. It was over so quickly
Yourfavoritesong: I'm really sorry for you, man... what happened to you was truly unfair but I hope today can mark a new chapter for you two
Twerk_it: Thanks, man
Let's see how it goes
I'm out, ttyl
Yourfavoritesong: Bye then, have fun~

Shiber_SAN: So, did you apologize to Yunho?
Imsexyandiknowit: Not yet, we went again today but he wasn't home. God, where does he spend his days, he's literally never there
Shiber_SAN: Want me to ask him when he'll be home?
Imsexyandiknowit: If you could, yeah. It'll really help
Shiber_SAN: I'll check it out
Imsexyandiknowit: So how is work so far?
Shiber_SAN: I'm getting my make up done
Imsexyandiknowit: Black clothes suit you so well~

Shiber_SAN: You're cute :3
I have to go, talk to you later?
Imsexyandiknowit: Sure
Seen at 13h37am
<Savagehoe>
Imsexyandiknowit: There's definitely something wrong with San
Savagehoe: Walk me through it, Woo
Imsexyandiknowit: He usually loves it when I praise him, right? He'll send a hundred hearts and compliment me back
But now... now he thanks me all the time :v
I posted those pictures the other day and he didn't say anything, he didn't even comment...
Savagehoe: Want me to ask me what's going on?
Imsexyandiknowit: Can you maybe just ask him if everything's alright in general?
Savagehoe: No problem, I'll see what I can find out
So, where are you? Are you at home?
Imsexyandiknowit: Ye
Savagehoe: Want me to come over after my shift?
Imsexyandiknowit: I'd love some company :)
Savagehoe: I'll be there as soon as I can~

<YourfavoriteSong>
Twerk_it: I'm back
Yourfavoritesong: So??? How did it go???
Twerk_it: It went really well. I told him how I felt and I was very open about how hurt he made me feel
Yourfavoritesong: What happened then?
Twerk_it: He cried
Yourfavoritesong: Wait, you made the Choi Jongho cry? I don't he even cried as a baby xd
Twerk_it: Shut up xd
After lunch we went back to my place so we could talk more freely. He told me he still loved me and well obviously I feel the same so we agreed to go out again
This time we'd make it public
Yourfavoritesong: Awesome! You must be so happy!
Twerk_it: I really am, but I'm still worried the others might think I rolled over too quickly
Yourfavoritesong: I guarantee none of them will think that
So, are you two going to announce it in the groupchat
Twerk_it: We gotta, so that everyone can know
Yourfavoritesong: Is that cynical?
Twerk_it: Not sure, let's just wait and see how things go this time
Yourfavoritesong: Right...

Shiber_SAN: Poor boy :c
We're wrapping up so I should be back in an hour
Savagehoe: An hour???
Shiber_SAN: Sorry... Can you stay with him until I get back?
Savagehoe: Of course but San
Shiber_SAN: Yeah?
Savagehoe: Is everything alright?
Shiber_SAN: Yeah, why?
Savagehoe: You just called Wooyoung boy
You said poor boy not even poor baby. And I'm used to a lot worse coming from you
Shiber_SAN: Sorry, I'm a bit distracted because of the shoot
Savagehoe: Right

Savagehoe: Bye I guess

Yeosang turned off his phone and looked at his best friend, there was definitely something wrong with his boyfriend.
<piratek1ng>
ToothlessHwa: You're gonna be proud of me 👀
I finally made peace with both Yunho and Jongho
piratek1ng: You did? Good for you! Besides, I think they kind of got back together today so that's even more good news
ToothlessHwa: I know right? The group is finally getting back together
piratek1ng: I think everyone is good with everyone now
ToothlessHwa: I think Wooyoung still has to clear some things with Yunho. We were supposed to go together, we tried twice and Yunho was never there. This time I texted him to make sure
piratek1ng: I am indeed proud of you
ToothlessHwa: What are you up to right now?
piratek1ng: Waiting for Mingi to come back
ToothlessHwa: Is he still at work? This late?
piratek1ng: Yeah he's working on a track with another guy
You know how we can get when we're composing a song 😅
ToothlessHwa: Nothing can make you leave your damn studio 🤦♂
piratek1ng: Exactly
Hbu?
ToothlessHwa: Yeosang just texted me to come get him. He's at Wooyoung and San's place
piratek1ng: Such a devoted boyfriend xd
I wish mine were more present :c
ToothlessHwa: How so???
piratek1ng: I was just telling Jongho that Mingi and I haven't been spending a lot of time together lately
I think I'm gonna talk to him about it soon. I don't to start getting worked up
We all know that never ends well
ToothlessHwa: You should but if you ever need to talk, I'm here
piratek1ng: Thanks, buddy
ToothlessHwa: I'll let you go get Yeosang, don't drive and text
Aight, goodnight
piratek1ng: Night
