Chapter 1

“Stop messing with each other you two !!” Hyunjae yelled at the intention of Sunwoo and Haknyeon, endlessly bickering as usual.

“But hyung ! I didn’t do anything ! He’s the one who’s always bothering me, so you should say that to him.” Haknyeon complained.

“What do you mean bothering you ? I was just joking around with you !“

“You see?? He doesn’t even use honorifics with me even though I’m older than him !!”

“I don’t need to. You’re more like a dongsaeng to me.”

“I don’t care !”

“Enough guys, we’re starting practice !” Changmin cut off, ready to lead them with the choreography.

Haknyeon glared one last time at Sunwoo before finding his place in the practice room.

They both quickly became friends when they entered the company, but recently Sunwoo started to always follow Haknyeon around and torment him whenever he could. Haknyeon couldn’t understand why, though. It always leaded them to be angry at each other and break the harmony between the group who was near to debut.

“You guys need to make up with each other and stop acting like a child.” Sangyeon told them the other day.

It’s not like Haknyeon was the one acting like a child but he was still scolded along with Sunwoo, the real culprit. At the time, both of them shrugged it off like it wasn’t a big deal, but since few days it really got into Hak’s nerves. Why was Sunwoo acting like that towards him ? This question kept coming in his mind without actually finding an answer to it. That was frustrating.

“Hey, hyung! Where are you going ?” Sunwoo asked him when he was leading to the doorway.

Wow, he called me hyung for once, i’m probably dreaming or something, Haknyeon thought.

“I”m going to the store, I’m hungry.”

“You’re always hungry.”

“Shut up.”

“I’m coming with you.”

“Why ?”

“Because I want to.”

“Well, don’t do things only because you want to. I'm going alone.”

“What’s wrong with you, hyung ? Are you still mad at me ?”

“YEAH !”

“Okay okay, I’m sorry, I won’t bother you I promise.”

“Fine.” Haknyeon rolled his eyes.

Sunwoo couldn’t help himself, as soon as they entered the store, he started to tease the older again.

“Hyung, don’t buy the whole store, we’re not rich enough !”

“You’re still on that ? I already said I was on diet so you can cut it off !”

“Wait, you’re on diet ?”

“Yeah.”

“But why ?”

“Because I’m scared to be too fat when I’ll go to the broadcast.” Haknyeon said, not sure why he was confessing to Sunwoo like that.

“Hyung, you’re not fat, you’re not even gaining weight with everything that goes to your stomach.” Sunwoo tried to comfort him.

“Pfff, I don’t know why I’m still talking to you, I thought you cared but you just wanted to make fun of me.”

“No-”

“Don’t follow me.”

“Haknyeon!!”

It was like that almost every day and the members were pretty annoyed by that. When the two came back at the dorms, they were all waiting for them in the living room. Sangyeon waved at them to tell them to quickly come. Haknyeon and Sunwoo looked at each other, confused.

“What is it ?” the younger asked.

“We talked about you two and your behavior.”

“OUR behavior ? Should I remind you who’s been harassed in here ?”

“Haknyeon, calm down.” Chanhee said. He was very protective with the latter, but also had the power to make him shut up.

“Okay, so...I saw the CEO today and he told me to fix that as soon as possible before it could ruin our teamwork.”

“I understand, hyung.” Sunwoo said obediently.

Haknyeon couldn’t believe that Sunwoo was suddenly playing like he was docile, just to make him look bad.

“So I won’t see you two fight with each other anymore, understood ?”

“Yes !” they both said.

“Apologize to each other and let’s forget about it.” Jacob advised.

“I’m sorry Haknyeon hyung.”

“It’s okay.”

It could have ended there, but in fact, it became even worse…
