Chapter 30 ~ Bang Yong Gu (1/1)

Yong Guk snarled as he dropped his trash bag at the sight of Hyuna sleeping curled up in JunHyung’s side. JunHyung was looking down at her with more in his eyes than Guk ever cared to see. He stomped over and stood in front of JunHyung.“What do you think you’re doing?” Guk growled.“Nothing.” JunHyung replied shortly looking up at him.“Get away from her.”

“I’m not doing anything wrong.” Jun replied.“You’re touching her… that’s wrong.”

“Why?” JunHyung challenged.

“Because she’s mine.” Guk snapped.“Calm down. I know that. I’m not taking her from you.” JunHyung scooted a little bit away from Hyuna.Guk reached down and carefully slid Hyuna towards JunHyung so Guk could sit on her other side. Then he brought her over to lay on his lap. She sighed with his movement and buried her face into his leg. Her hand took a hold of the bottom of his shirt as she slept.JunHyung watched with attentive eyes.“She makes noises in her sleep.” JunHyung stated.“I know.” Guk returned.JunHyung sighed. “How long are you going to be like that?”“Be like what?” Guk asked, looking towards Jun.“Acting like it’s a competition. It’s not. You won. Congratulations.”“Are you saying you give up?”“No. I’m just not fighting for her. It’s different.”“Why?”

“Why what?” JunHyung asked bewildered.“Why won’t you fight for her?”JunHyung is quiet for a moment as he stares at Guk in thought. Finally he blinks as he exhales. “Because she doesn’t want me she wants you.”Guk smirks with his victory.“Then why do you try to annoy me when it comes to her?” Guk asked.“I don’t know. Competitive nature. Don’t get me wrong…I still like her.”“But she’s not your first choice?”“…No.”“Then you’re a fool.” Guk shakes his head.“Doesn’t mean I won’t do whatever I can for her. Doesn’t mean that if you ever do anything wrong I won’t come after you for it.”“Alright. I don’t mind that.” Guk gave in.“Hm. Good.” JunHyung replied.How strange it felt for the two of them to agree on something…somewhat.JunHyung reached down to his drink and pulled up the extra one. He handed it over Hyuna to Guk, who readily accepted it. Both boys drank and looked away from each other.“Where’s your girl then?” Guk finally asked.“Working.” Jun replied.“You okay with that?”“Have to be. She’s older than me. Has a steady job and all. Just the way it is.”Guk nods.“Ever loved a girl before?” JunHyung asked.Guk shook his head. “Hyuna is my first…and my only. I liked girls before her… but I don’t know. Something drew me into her more.”“I know.” JunHyung replied.“What about you? Did you really like her that much?”“I probably could have with a little more time. If certain events hadn’t happened. Who knows, she may have chosen me over you if I played it right.”Yong Guk nodded again. This was true. The night JunHyung crushed Hyuna was the night Guk and her started feelings. What if JunHyung had stayed with her? All of a sudden, Guk felt second best. This was what made him resent JunHyung so much. Being a rich snobby boy wasn’t enough to make Guk develop such strange feelings against Junhyung. He felt competition. As if you two lions were fighting over the same territory. One was just circling around it. Calling out to the other. Warning him that he could come whenever he wanted. And who knows, maybe that one was bigger and stronger. All Guk could do was hold his ground and try to ward the other off. And he would do just that.“You two must have gone through some pretty rough stuff recently then?” JunHyung spoke up.Guk nodded as scenes of GDragon and Hyuna flashed before his eyes. The way GD grabbed her arms. The anger that his lips moved with against hers. The tears in her eyes. GDragon coming back with his belt off. How broken she looked lying on the floor.Guk sighed.“I don’t think you should worry.” JunHyung half said.“What?” Guk turned to him but JunHyung wasn’t looking at him. He played with his bear bottle.“Now… now I think she would choose you. Choose you over me… everytime.”A smile crept over Guk’s lips.“Don’t get high off it.” JunHyung mumbled. “It’s just because you were there for her when I wasn’t. I can’t take away what you two have been through. So don’t worry.”Guk nodded. He suddenly felt better. JunHyung’s words were true. Guk was her warrior. Not JunHyung.Feeling more comfortable, Guk’s head tilted back against the couch and his eyes closed.
