“What is it you wanted to say?
I think you are cold and mean to everyone except for me
"That may be true but I don't really care."
why do you care so little for them?
"They don't matter to me."
"You do. And maybe a few others."
I see.. So, I am special compared to others?
he hugged him gently thanks..
"It's fine." He slightly leans into the hug.
I'm not very extroverted as you, so, would you let me hug you back next time?
"Sure." He nods and allows Dasbyko to hug him back.
he looks at the horizon you always keep your promise right?
"I try to." He glances at Dasbyko, the faintest hint of warmth in his eyes.
thinks something in his mind and hugs Jeon tightly i love you man!
He freezes momentarily before slowly wrapping his arms around Dasbyko, hugging him back tightly. "I... I love you too."
hugs him back and begins laughing happily
He lets out a small smile and chuckles along with Dasbyko.
giggles remember when we watched happy tree friends together?
"Yeah, good times." He laughs softly and reminiscence the good times they had together.
yeah.. those times we always watched cartoons together.. looks away sadly I am going to miss those days.
He looks at Dasbyko with a serious expression. "Do you think things will change between us after we leave childhood behind?"
well, i hope not. we were best friends since childhood.. why should we split now..?
"I feel like that might happen. When we grow up, our lives will take different paths. We won't have the same freedom we have now."
yea.. well.. i don't want to lose you.. we can still be best friends even if we are adult right?
"I hope so too, Dasbyko. I hope we can continue to be best friends even when we grow up." Dasbyko smiles at Jeon, grateful for his words. Jeon, on the other hand, keeps his expression calm and composed, but his eyes tell a different story. There was a flicker of warmth and vulnerability for a moment, but quickly, it was replaced by his usual cold demeanor.
alright!.. gets up and stretches his legs i need to go home. are you coming?
Jeon pauses for a moment, contemplating whether to accompany Dasbyko home or not. After a few seconds, he shakes his head and gives a small nod. He stands up, his eyes fixed on Dasbyko. "I'll walk you home."
haha! you are coming! okay then, i'm heading home first.. you guys should catch up later! he runs off
Jeon stands there for a moment, watching Dasbyko disappear into the distance. His expression remains blank and his arms are crossed. He takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, trying to push away the unexpected warmth that had filled him earlier. "Yeah, we'll catch up later."
A week passes and Dasbyko haven't seen Jeon for 7 days
Jeon hasn't been himself lately. He's been distant and cold towards everyone, including Dasbyko. It's been a week since they last saw each other and he feels guilty for neglecting their friendship. But he doesn't know how to fix it, or if he even wants to. So he continues to keep his distance, unsure of what to do.
Days pass and Dasbyko finds jeon sitting alone by the riverbank reading a book
Jeon spots Dasbyko approaching and quickly closes his book, putting it away in his bag. He keeps his gaze fixed on Dasbyko, avoiding direct eye contact. "Hey, Dasbyko."
hey! i thought i wouldn't find you. where have you been man?
"Just taking some time off. Didn't want to be around people."
