Summary
“When I said you should try having some fun—you know, hook up with someone at a party—I did not mean that someone should be Wooyoung hyung, our friend,” Jongho says, massaging his temples. “It was implied I meant a stranger.”
“Well, I suck at talking to strangers,” Yeosang retorts. “How do you even go up to someone you don’t know and drop hints that you want to kiss them?”
Jongho raises his eyebrows. “And you had no problem dropping those hints to Wooyoung?” He holds up his index finger, shaking his head. “No, you know what? How did any of that even happen? You two are the worst when it comes to noticing things.”
Yeosang presses his lips together, mildly affronted by his friend’s words. “Jongho, I’m not going to tell you how Wooyoung and I hooked up. That’s private!” Jongho rolls his eyes. “And I do notice things. Thank you very much,” he adds, for good measure.
(Or, it takes a drunken make out session for Yeosang and Wooyoung to realize that perhaps they aren't just best friends.)
