I woke up finding us hugged in San's bed. His tears had dried on his face and he looked peaceful and cute.
I felt he butterflies in me were all gone and my soul was free of tense. That was all? One night was enough to fill my second face desire? One hug, one kiss and one night was all that was needed for me to glut my lifely second nature? That meant SeongHwa was my first self's love. He was the true willing of my heart?
I put aside the intense thoughts and starred at San's calm face. He smiled in his sleeping. I stroked his hair and I felt him as my young brother whom I wanted to protect even though he was elder. I closed my eyes and hugged him again more tightly. I didn't want to get up yet but he moved and opened his eyes.
San: HS; thank you.
I opened my eyes again and looked into his gaze. His eyes were clear and shiny.
HS: Why?
San: Thank you. Because I understand now.
I smiled unsure but his way was so nice and gentle that I felt good.
San: I didn't know my feelings. I thought I liked you so much but I really only wanted you. I desired you. I am sorry that I scared you last night and I'm sorry I interfered with your feelings when you were confused yourself. I will only help you from now on.
That made me smile wider. I took my hands from his sides and got up slightly.
HS: It's okay San. You know, I wanted you too. I had those damn butterflies in me and they were dancing so wildly when you were around. I didn't know what to do and...
San: I understand HS. You like hyung. There's no need to hide your feelings.
HS: Yes, it's right... *I was made to admit it, I was caught.* So you know that one time when he said I fainted by a strong emotional sock, it was I walked between you too. And I couldn't balance myself because I felt I liked both of you...
San: Don't worry now HS. Everything will be okay.
HS: Wooyoung...
I didn't get to complete my phrase. His happy face appeared beyond the half open door.
Wooyoung: Good morning love birds! What about me?
HS: Woo, aren't you angry?
Wooyoung: I know. I bet San told you I liked you. I'm sorry if I disappoint you but it's over. *He got serious.* You're not hurt right? I don't think you felt anything for me.
HS: To be honest... I love all of you guys because you are my best friends. I hope we can stay like this. I only like him for a date though...
Wooyoung: Whom? Don't you like Sannie hyung?
San: No, she doesn't. I am not for her and she is not for me either.
Wooyoung: Then, who...?
San smirked with a meaningful face expression.
HS: Do you want to know?
Wooyoung: Of course I want!
San: It's Hwa hyung.
Wooyoung: Whaaaat? HS, you can't be serious!
I lifted my shoulders indifferently. That's what I felt. It's not like I chose my crush or something.
Wooyoung: If that's the case, good luck! You'll need it.
He made a grimace and left the room announcing he'll be waiting for San to leave so to start their setting.
San bursted into laughter and got up from the bed. His laugher was cute and loud.
San: Haha he is hilarious! You see HS, you shouldn't worry! His one-sided love has come to an end.
I jumped on my feet happily.
HS: Thank you San! I'm going to dress up now!
He nodded and I ran out. My mood was boosted on top by this sudden clarity. I heard San's voice from his room.
San: You have two extras of this outfit in your closet! *He shouted.*
HS: Okay!
I got in the room forgetting to be quiet and slammed the door behind me. I regretted immediately because MinGi was in his bed sleeping.
But it was too late. He pushed away his blanket irritated.
MinGi: What in the world HS! You weren't here and you decided to come in slamming the door like this? Did I ever annoy you so much? *He shouted fresh awake.*
HS: I'm sorry the door hit accidentally. Sorry MinGi... Sleep again, I won't annoy you again...
My apologies were pointless. He got up calling names his luck that lead him in this place where he couldn't sleep like a normal human and pulled his t-shirt from his body to change.
I was socked to see his abs and couldn't help blinking some times starring at him. His body was full of muscles.
MinGi: Don't ever wake me up so early HS! You know I can't sleep again once I wake up!
HS: Uh... Sorry MinGi, I won't do it again it was an accident...
I managed to take my eyes from him and looked in my closet. I took fast a pair of pants and a t-shirt and went to the bathroom. When I changed my clothes I decided not to go again in our room in case MinGi would still change so I hang my suit on a hanger in the corridor.
Taking my steps downstairs, I found all the members except MinGi and SeongHwa in the living room. Woo and San were about to leave with their con equipment. They noticed me and waved before walking out. I waved back and took my way to the kitchen. Of course SeongHwa was there frying eggs.
HS: Good morning!
SeongHwa: Good morning. *He said without moving his eyes from the eggs.*
I opened the fridge trying not to show my heart's irregular beat even though I felt like it could be heard from a 3 kilometres distance. My look fell on SeongHwa's milk bottle and a smile shaped on my face. I remembered how San and I replaced the broken one.
SeongHwa: So it was you.
I turned back and I saw him still looking in the pan. Was he talking to me?
HS: I'm sorry?
He took the eggs out of the pan and put them carefully on a plate. Then he decided to look at me.
SeongHwa: The one who broke it. It was you.
He said and coming nearby, he grabbed his bottle and walked towards the cupboard to take a glass.
HS: Wait what? How do you...
SeongHwa: Isn't it obvious? Your face tells me so.
HS: How did you know it broke?
SeongHwa put his hand in his pocked and pulled out a piece of glass.
SeongHwa: You could have been more careful.
HS: But the floor was all clear!
He grinned and showed me under the fridge. We didn't move the fridge back then because we were afraid in case we break something else. "Damn" I thought.
SeongHwa: Besides, the feel of glass is different.
He left a disappointed wry smile like he expected me to know that.
HS: Okay, but basically I wasn't the one to break it.
SeongHwa: But you took part in replacement right?
HS: True... It was my idea.
SeongHwa: Whatever. Thank you. And don't bother yourself to uncover the culprit. I don't care.
HS: Thank you. I'm sorry we didn't tell you but he was afraid you were going to be angry.
SeongHwa: I know. I was going to but since you correct your wrongdoings it doesn't matter.
I smiled gratefully.
SeongHwa: Do you want an egg?
HS: Yes, thank you. * I responded surprised.*
He put the one of his eggs in another plate and handed it over to me. I didn't thank again as I knew he had gotten my gratefulness. Instead I sat and took a bite. It was delicious. My heart was still beating irregularly and I struggled to control it.
SeongHwa: Did I tell you what we found last night?
HS: No what is it?
SeongHwa: There was a file in the computer where I bet we can find the last pieces of our puzzle.
HS: Why you bet we can? Haven't you already opened it?
SeongHwa: It's in a strong code. We can't break it. I might be good at emptying devices data but I am not a hacker. We can only assign this to one person. It's...
HS: Hyeong Sun!
