Theyve made out at least five times since the first time, only one of which Riki saw. Riki is not here. You always take care of me, and II want to take care of you too, he says. Soon, they all get up to stop by the late-night Mexican place before they head back to their respective places because its getting late, and half of them have the munchies and are craving quesadillas. Hell forever be an enigma. Another red flag. I didntI didnt like who I was back then, but I liked you, and I wasI was trying so hard. Really. But I know that its his birthday today. Not like, sexual tension, but tension.. Because the Riki I know would rather throw himself off this balcony than sit here with me.. When he and Sunghoon met eyes, they both stopped in place and awkwardly stared at each other for a good twenty seconds. As soon as he gets the okay, he starts to make his way there. The thing about being in love with Yang Jungwon is that its painless. Virginity is a social construct, Jake knows this. Sunoo made an Animal Crossings account, even though he found it a little boring. slack: no it's the same one :)
I mean, if youre okay with that?. slack: hey bestie you have a notif Just today itappeared in passing on Reddit. He knows that he was born on the 9th of February, that hes an Aquarius, and that he loves Park Jongseong and has loved him since the day theyve met. Boyfriend: Hey, wanna go to the movies with me later? Okay. Of course, Heeseung is the one who breaks the rules first, but really, its all Sunghoons fault. When are you heading to California, by the way? Jungwon asks, picking his bag up and slinging it over his shoulder. Why? Jungwon asks. Dude, he says, you shouldve told us., Jake flushes, shrinking in on himself. Jake doesnt think hes ever seen Sunghoon like this. Maybe not. No. J-Hope read another thirsty comment, "Step on me," and took it quite seriously. We didnt do much.. There are curled, pale strokes near the top, flattened into the base, white, jagged strokes filling the upper-middle section of the painting, orange and yellow highlights thick and almost visceral, giving the painting dimension. Anti-Vaxxers Turned It Into Fake News. Heeseung and Riki met at Heeseungs birthday party in October; Jongseong didnt know it then, but he had a part in the domino chain. They dont let go of each others hands. Hes confident, loves art and loves to pull pranks, and sometimes does and says insensitive things, but he has a heart of gold. Jongseong asked Heeseung about it, last month at a kickback, when Riki and Heeseung were already thick as thieves and Jongseong was too drunk to have the sense to keep his thoughts to himself. Im excited. He pats the seat next to him. BECAUSE YOU ALL THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA After Sunghoon let Sunoo into the building, he was leading him down the hall to his bedroom, and Jake happened to have just left the shower. It wasnt anything illegal; he just looked him up on Google and Instagram, and he even logged into his Facebook for the first time since he made it. Five. LIKE Yeah, that would do it., Wait, Jongseong says, needing to backtrack. And you seem different lately., Sunoo turned to look at him and nodded. Horror creeps up Jakes throat when he realizes the chances of him having interrupted what looks to be a Netflix-and-Chill night are not zero. The stranger pulled the joint from his mouth and let out a long exhale. After exactly thirteen seconds of that, Jongseong scrambles to pick up his phone, covers his eyes with his hand, and miserably groans, I need a drink. When he leaves, he slams the door shut behind him. In fact, Heeseung had nothing to do with it. The Meet-Cute, The Honeymoon Period, and The Breakup. But thats not fair. I did, he says. That includes the way you feel about Heeseung, Jungwon saysshouts, really. But it was okay, because Riki used his winnings to pay off his debts to everyone, so if you look at each of their bank accounts, basically nothing has changed. slack: heyy bestie you have a notification! tip: "uchiha sasuke/uzumaki naruto" angst kudos>10. He probably fell in love with him that night, but he fell in love all over the next time they met, on a sober Wednesday morning. He doesnt know Riki or Heeseung very well, but from what very little he does know about them, All Riki has to do is ask Heeseung to stop, and Heeseung will.. Jungwon sighs. Im joking. Weve neverIve tried to give you space, but lately Jungwon cuts off with a frown. Lee Heeseung, however, actually does know little to nothing about art and has gotten through the past three years bullshitting his way through classes. Although, maybe Jungwon does have an idea of why he never noticed it before; he was too focused on the way Jongseong loved Heeseung; Jongseongs love is so blinding that, at times, you cant really see anything but. With him?, Dont ask me that, Riki says with a chuckle. afficher des publicits et des contenus personnaliss en fonction de vos profils de centres dintrt; mesurer lefficacit des publicits et contenus personnaliss; et. Jongseong is very glad that the Riki-Sunoo breakup happened before they all were friends, because if it happened now, hes absolutely sure it would tear their friend group to shreds. Im good for now.. Do we not do that already?, Jongseong laughs. He likes games. He wasnt even aware that Riki and Sunoo were exes until Jongseong told him. Finally. He nodded and reached over the table to pluck the joint from the strangers fingertips. It was fun at first, but now Im just, Yeah, bored, Heeseung said. From what I know, which isnt a lot, its the fact that Riki pretends like they never happened.. They sit there in silence for a long time, but its a half-silence because Riki is sniffling and there are hot tears falling down his face and he cant wipe them away because Sunoo is holding his hands. Good morning, Heeseung says. Sunoo looks unsure whether he should stay or not. Do youdo art?, Heeseung laughed. Um., I mean, if you really want to get into things, do you want to talk about how you and Heeseung started sleeping together after The Foursome?, Jongseongs mouth falls open. He never talked to people about it, not even Sunoo. Hes so focused on how other people feel that he often forgets consciousness exists in a vacuum. Because it was easy, Riki repeated and swallowed the lump in his throat. Sunghoon nods and gets up. Heeseung looks skittish. the jumpscares are mid too. Oh yeah, have you talked to Sunoo about The Bet? Audio. Its the last time that all seven of us will be together until the fall.. He bet that you and Jungwon would start dating by the end of the year, and I bet against., Sunoos mouth pinches, and he squints at Jongseong. He lingers at the door, glancing at Sunoo who doesnt look any better than when Jake first found him. Know what? So, he set us down and began "stomping" on the camera. Then, Sunghoon places his hand on the small of Sunoos back, leans down, and whispers something that sounds like, Ill get us drinks. No, clearly thats a non-issue. The weeks leading into The Breakup, Riki barely saw Sunoo. They leave the balcony together, Riki following after Sunoo. What youre doingtreating him like a strangerisnt fair to him., Riki looks at Jungwon. All orders are custom made and most ship worldwide within 24 hours. Its titled, Grievances I have about Park Jongseongs Modus Vivendi. A lot. Or, one of the elephants in the room. All things considered, Jongseong isnt really mad that Jake never told them; its not like the three of them were speaking in the weeks following The Foursome, and by the time they got over themselves, they justdidnt talk about it. I appreciate it, really, I justnot right now.. Heeseung hums. Jake blinks, looking at the snacks spread out on the sheets, Sunoos leg curled around Sunghoons knee, and the laptop placed at the foot of the bed. Riki hums, then he glances at Heeseung out of the corner of his eye. Sunghoons face scrunches up. You know, Riki makes me jealous, that he is to Heeseung what I couldnt be. Because its you, he keeps inside. I lost like fifty followers!, Remember the time he drew all over my face when I was drunk, took a video of it, and submitted it as an assignment for his studio class calling it performance art? Sunghoon asked. He turns to look at Riki. Hes also noticed how much Sunghoon looks at Jake. So everythings good., Heeseung grinned at him. So I ran.. Notes: I dont really get it either.. But then Sunoo hums, rolling his head to the side so that he can look at Jake. The thing I dont get is, out of all of us, Riki is the one whos closest to Heeseung, so he probably knows about Jay and Heeseung too. And what are they going to do there?, No idea, Jungwon says; he never bothered to look it up. You were, Tell me something real, please. Si vous ne souhaitez pas que nos partenaires et nousmmes utilisions des cookies et vos donnes personnelles pour ces motifs supplmentaires, cliquez sur Refuser tout. im with riki at the art dept. Sunoo and Sunghoon loop in the rest of the group minus Riki the day after. Lorsque vous utilisez nos sites et applications, nous utilisons des, authentifier les utilisateurs, appliquer des mesures de scurit, empcher les spams et les abus; et. Ill give you something real. Then theres Jongseong; Jake knocks on his door first because his room is the closest to the entrance. He should have worn more than a short-sleeve. Im sorry that I called you. Back to the point: Jongseong only had Riki beat by a matter of a few weeks, but the fact that Heeseung was consistently choosing to hang out with a first-year over Jongseongthere was something that stung about that, even before Jongseong realized his feelings for Heeseung ran a lot deeper than those you should have for a friend you sleep with every now and then. Nothing, Sunoo says, switching back to English. You never told me, you know? Sunoo asks, then takes a trembling breath. He tucks his feet beneath his butt and repositions himself so that his body is angled toward Jongseongs. Yeah. Its just thatlooking at you, it hurts. I promise., Baby steps, Sunoo says. i thought you were going to korea tmr to see ur grandparents, jongseong Jake is from Brisbane, Australia. Can I get your number? Riki asked after an awkward beat. Lately, however, Jongseong has been doing a lot of kissing Heeseung. Riki had his AirPods in as he whizzed down the main quad on an electric skateboard. Is that a yes?. He chews on his bottom lip, feeling a little betrayed because Sunghoon definitely knows the answer to his own question. Its practically a zoo. WHAT THE FUCK? He was. Riki never told Heeseung about all the photos his parents took of him when he was a kid and posted on the internet, and he isnt ever going to. I dont think Heeseung is even capable of love., Sunghoon snorts and says, without thinking, I think the Japanese stoner boy hes always hanging out with provides good evidence to the contrary., Sorry, Sunghoon says again. Wait, dont answer that. He heard the front door slam shut a few moments later, and next thing he knew, Jake came knocking. And its a terrifying thought, knowing how much youve changed and having tangible evidence for the change. Because that was exactly what Sunoo said the day they met, the day Riki crashed into him. I dont have access to the Oxford English Dictionary, so I turned to the next best thing: Urban Dictionary. Interviews|Views|Instagram|TikTok|YouTube|Audio. He deserves that. You and him, I mean.. Nous, InTheKnow, faisons partie de la famille de marques Yahoo. But, I think sometimes there are things you should do, even if you dont want to do them or dont have to do them.. OH MY GOD? = I got a weird vibe from her. You know how to fix it.. a lot drunk If A then B, truth values, disjunctions, and tautologies. Jake makes a faint choking noise, eyes wide. Maybe it wasnt the only reason, but it was a factor. Jongseong is biting his lip so hard it visibly starts to bleed, so Jungwon cups Jongseongs face with both his hands to get him to stop, thumbs at the corner of his mouth until he lets go. oh yeah nvm i forgot i had something sorry. And Jay, Isnt capable of letting go of people he loves?, Jake laughs. Its been two days. The world spins for a moment. Yeah, Jungwon replies, panting slightly. Between them is the most striking part of the painting: its something like a green pasture with blue skies and white clouds, and it takes up so little of the composition, but its like everything elsethe chaos, the violence, the adrenalineis building up to that tiny, serene pasture. They decided to meet at the skatepark since it was in between Heeseungs apartment and campus at 10 PM. Obviously, the term bestie wasnt invented in January. No, it was real to me, but it wasnt for him, and I knew that. I think its a pretty fun reputation, Riki says. Jungwon types back. Hes always there for Riki. Its frustrating, and I love you because of itnot anyways, in spite of it, but because of it. Jake flails a little. Heeseung chuckled. Glasses are perced on the bridge of his nose, his hair is slightly damp, and theres a toothpaste stain on the front of his shirt. He understands the words that Riki isnt able to say. Just a childish phase of yours?, No, Riki insists, shaking his head as hard and desperate as he can because hes always been better at expressing how he feels with action than with words. There are a lot of answers to that question. Jungwon is the one gasping this time, and Jongseong is the one taking advantage of his parted lips. We werent anything real, he explains, head bowed. me an jay are pregam,ing the pre I thoughtwith that girl in high school, Jongseong squints. He sees it in the way Jongseong blushes each time Heeseung makes fun of him, lightheartedly, because Heeseung never does or says anything with that much gravityat the same time, though, hes a calamity, leaves nothing but devastation behind him, and never blinks an eye. Jake isnt really into art, so he doesnt know exactly why he recognizes them. Alright, it was more than a little heartbreaking. Dragging his feet, he scuttles over to the bathroom, changes into Heeseungs clothes, washes his face, and grabs the spare toothbrush Heeseung bought for him. Riki would think its only a matter of time before we get together.. Nice.. I do. Oh, cool, Sunghoon replies, even though its very much not cool. Are you in?. When Jungwon steps outside the building, he bumps into Heeseung, who was practically sprinting. Weve only bet fifty dollars, but this is the plan: you two need to start playing it up.. The person gave me extra, and I dont think Ill be able to finish it all.. They have more pressing matters at the moment. You love him, Jungwon thinks. Then theyd high five and smoke a joint in celebration. Its not like Jake hasnt ever thought about picking it back up. Sort of. Sunghoon was surprised when Heeseung brought Riki to their smoke session the other week; Heeseung has a weird tendency to gatekeep the people he likes. Riki is Riki. Item #4 on the list: Hes brutally honest with everyone but himself. Art is good even when its bad. MY EYES?. Want to get lunch? Heeseung goes to greet them, and Riki follows. as well as After some time, they finally move away from The Foursome topic. Riki made waves as the freshman from Japan who does skateboard tricks on the library steps, the compsci genius hacked the projector screens during orientation, who won an major art competition by drawing on his drunk friends face and submitting the video everywhere he could, and for breaking Kim Sunoos heartso hes popular as well. People think its hard to love more than one person at the same time, but Jongseong happens to excel at it. I took like, two shots at the pre. Riki finally lifts his head. He wants to catch Sunghoon before hes showered. Heeseung turned to follow his voice and walked toward him. Are you serious about Jongseong?, Riki sits back against the headboard again. He took another drag and let the roll dangle between his fingertips. Not about the terms, but why hes doing it?, Jungwon tilts his head to the side. Do you have a lighter? Riki asked, pulling the fresh joint out from the sandwich baggie. Is that a problem?, Of course not, Jongseong hurried to say. When Jake was down with a fever last month, Riki did all of his compsci homework for him even though Jake never asked him to, and he oddly sent a bouquet of flowers to his apartment. Sunoo and Jongseong are studying together at the engineering building. Riki doesnt look up from his phone. Not Jake, though. That it feels like you never cared about him at all. Hes exhausted, but his social battery is full and begging to be used. Do you know why Heeseungs so weird with just you? The first rule of The Foursome is: you do not talk about The Foursome. Thank you, Sunoo says after so much time has passed that Rikis tears have dried, that his heart feels not as heavy as it did before. Sunoo looks over, out of curiosity, and isnt surprised at all by what he sees: one message from Heeseung, the other from Jungwon.
