Chpater 10 (1/2)

"So, Woohyun, are you dating anyone yourself?" Tae Mu asked, as he dried the dishes and Woohyun washed them.

"Oh me? I have no time to think about that, with Infinite and this drama I'm filming."

"Oh, well, if you ever do have a day off, you should let me know. There are a lot of young women at my company who would probably love to go on a date with you."

Woohyun nodded, "Thanks. But uh, I don't think I'm interested in dating anyone right now anyway."

They continued to do the dishes, Woohyun determined to keep calm and not let Tae Mu get the upper hand. As they came down to the last few, Woohyun spoke up, "So! What attracted you to Sunggyu, Tae Mu?"

Tae Mu smiled, "He's a really genuine person and funny. And he's very forgiving, he understands the way people are."

"Hmm. What do you....do a lot of unforgiving things?"

Tae Mu dried off the last dish and turned to Woohyun, "I'm busy a lot and sometimes I'm not paying attention you know, I'm too involved in my work."

"That's it?"

"Yes. Woohyun, is there something you want to ask me? I feel like you have a problem with me."

Woohyun dried his hands and crossed his arms, leaning in closer to Tae Mu, "I'm wondering why you're lying to my face."

"Lying about what?"

"You love that Sunggyu's forgiving, because that means he can just, let it go when you hit him. Of course that's great for you."

"Woohyun, listen, if Sunggyu told you anything, then you must know that whatever happened was an accident."

"I know that Sunggyu thinks it was. But I don't really believe that just yet. And I think, Tae Mu, you should watch yourself. Because I really care about Sunggyu and I'm not going to let you hurt him again."

Tae Mu smiled slightly, "No wonder you're not dating anyone right now. The only person you want to date is with someone else. Did you ever think that maybe some of the worry you have is just your jealousy kicking in?"

Woohyun felt a little flustered, not having expected Tae Mu to realize that he was interested in Sunggyu.

"Just know that I'm going to be watching you. I don't trust you, I don't care how many other people do."

Tae Mu started backing up, "Just know that Sunggyu and I really care for eachother and I don't really see much room for you in there."

Tae Mu walked away and Woohyun tried not to punch the air in frustration. This was horrible! If Woohyun wasn't sure how he felt about Tae Mu, he was now. And what if Tae Mu told Sunggyu about his feelings for the leader? He glared in the direction Tae Mu had just walked in and began to follow, trying to curve his lips into a smile.

By the end of the night, everyone was tired and ready to go to bed. They had talked and joked for the rest of the time Tae Mu was there, (except for Woohyun who had sat quietly trying to control his anger) and as Tae Mu annouced he would be leaving, Sunggyu offered to walk him to his car. Woohyun, wanting to protest, decided to just wait in the living room until Sunggyu came back. If he took too long, it wouldn't be that bad to just open the door and take a peek, to make sure everything was okay.

Tae Mu and Sunggyu walked down the steps and sat down at the bottom. Sunggyu, was secretly feeling panicky about what Woohyun and him had talked about.

"Um. Tae Mu, did Woohyun bother you about me? Ask you a lot of questions, give you a lecture or something?"

Tae Mu smiled, "Something like that."

"I don't want you to take what he said too seriously, he's just being a good friend, looking out for me."

Tae Mu made a more serious face, "You told him about...uh, what happened with um-"

"Oh. Yeah, well he's my roomate so he kind of saw my back and he just wouldn't let it go so I just sort of told him the truth. Kind of."

Tae Mu nodded, "Sunggyu, I think Woohyun has a thing for you."

Sunggyu, completely shocked by his words wondered if he had heard right, "What did you say?"

"I think Woohyun has feelings for you."

Sunggyu almost laughed, "Seriously? Woohyun? Are you joking Tae Mu? Woohyun's not even gay."

"Sunggyu, I'm serious."

"I think you've misunderstood or something."

"Just, be careful. Around him," Tae Mu said, standing up.

Sunggyu looked up at him curiously and then laughed, "Uh, okay! Come on, I have to get up early tomorrow."

He got up and began walking when he felt a harsh hand snatch his wrist and pull him back around. Tae Mu pulled Sunggyu as close as he could and kept the tight grip on Sunggyu's wrist.

"Tae Mu what're yo-"

"You know I care for you right? You're with me, not Woohyun."

"I know that! But you shouldn't be worrying over Woohyun!"

Tae Mu continued, "I'm just trying to protect you okay? Woohyun doesn't even want us to be together Sunggyu. I think you should set him straight."

"What do you mean?" Sunggyu asked, hardly able to move.

"I think you should tell him that you only have feelings for me and make sure he realizes that."

"Fine. Could you just, let go now?"

Tae Mu let go of Sunggyu, "Sorry."

Sunggyu sighed, confused over Woohyun and annoyed because he knew that he should feel angry at Tae Mu but he didn't. Tae Mu smiled at him and the moment completely floated away from Sunggyu's thoughts.

"I'll call you tomorrow, k?" Tae Mu said, kissing Sunggyu and walking to his car. Sunggyu stayed still, leaning against the wall for a minute and then walked up the stairs, thinking about what to do about Woohyun. There was no way Woohyun could have feelings for him. And feelings or not, Woohyun told him everything, wouldn't he have atleast mentioned that he was gay? Sunggyu opened the door to find Woohyun standing in front of it.

"Oh. Sunggyu, I was just going to check on you."

Sunggyu nodded, not being able to look him in the eyes, "Well I'm here, just fine."

He walked past Woohyun into their room and Woohyun followed, sitting down and busying himself with his laptop. Sunggyu began to change, making sure Woohyun had no sight of his stomach, which was almost completely healed.

"So, how much of a speech did you give Tae Mu, Woohyun?"

Woohyun looked up, "Huh?"

Sunggyu finished changing and walked over to his bed, plopping down, "I asked you to forget about him hitting me and you go and bring it up to him?"

Woohyun put his laptop to the side and layed down, "Sunggyu, I couldn't help myself. I had to talk to him about it."

"And?"

Woohyun turned to him, "And I don't think he's good for you."

Sunggyu was irked, half of his brain looking for something that would tell him whether Woohyun really had feelings for him or not and the other half thinking about the stinging pain that he was beginning to feel on his wrist. He sighed, "Look Woohyun. I'm done with this. You don't approve of our relationship, and I can see why you'd feel that way. I appreciate you looking our for me. But no matter how you feel, I'm not going to break up with him."

Woohyun, anger pulsing inside, sat up, "Sunggyu, I just-"

"I don't wanna hear it. I've heard it enough lately. You'll just have to deal with it Woohyun. I don't want to fight anymore."
