So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
"Are you dating the antenna?" Doyoung asked for the umpteenth time.
Haruto is currently at Hyunsuk's house, just a few steps away. He intended to find some peace because there was a women's social gathering there, but instead, the monkeys Doyoung and Jeongwoo were there. Haruto's hopes of finding peace were dashed.
"Hey, but— are you serious about dating the antenna?" Hyunsuk said, interrupting Doyoung's words.
Haruto snorted harshly then paused the game he was playing, "antenna antenna! What do you mean by Atha? No, bro, she's just my best friend."
"Oohh, I thought you were dating him, after sticking your face like a stamp on a letter, eh" said Jeongwoo.
"No, he's just my friend," the man avoided again.
Doyoung thought for a moment, "hehe, does this mean I'm allowed to have a crush on her?" said Doyoung while laughing.
"Hm, iya"
Doyoung cheered happily, "WOW, REALLY?? I HATED YOU JUST A moment ago, BUT IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME—"
"You're so noisy! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, KIM DOYOUNG!!"
Doyoung immediately covered his mouth and rubbed his chest, "Oh my God, a handsome guy is shocked, Hyunsuk is really fierce."
"Die," Haruto said softly. Meanwhile, Jeongwoo was already laughing loudly.
"HARUTOOO!!!" shouted a woman in front of Hyunsuk's house.
Haruto was confused. This was Hyunsuk's house, but why was his name being called? Even Haruto, the owner of the house, was confused.
"Wait, I'll look down first," said Hyunsuk, which everyone nodded.
"Who's coming, bro?" Jeongwoo asked after Hyunsuk returned to the room.
"That's Haru's girlfriend— ah no, that's Doyoung's crush who came"
"HELLOOOO, ATHA IS HERE!!" said a woman as she entered Hyunsuk's room. And was greeted by the sound of applause from Doyoung and Jeongwoo.
Okay, another crazy person has joined the group, is Haruto really the only sane one here?
"Yes, Haruto's room isn't as neat as this, it's really different from Hyunsuk's room. He's lazy about cleaning it, so every week I often go to his house just to clean his room," the girl said enthusiastically.
"Wow, you can clean my room, I'll get paid later," Doyoung said, then smiled, showing his teeth.
"Using leaves?"
"Use love"
Jengwoo pointed at the man's head next to him, "If you're full, you idiot, just have a donut and split it between me and you, hehe"
Atha thought, "Oh, instead of donuts, it's better to have pizza, you know."
"Hmm, okay, that's fine too."
"You stupid people," said Haruto, who was still focused on the PS he was playing.
"It's like you're not alone," the girl sneered, annoyed.
"Hey I'm not, I'm the smart one"
Doyoung poked the hand of the girl in front of him, trying to get her attention back, "Atha, Atha, my room is not much messier than Haruto's room."
"Oh yes?"
"Yes then."
"Tk, I'm surprised that something like this is on display," said Jeongwoo, shaking his head in surprise.
Then the three of them laughed. Even Hyunsuk and Haruto, who were playing PS, laughed along.
But seeing Doyoung and Atha being close made Haruto feel uneasy. I don't know, Haruto just—didn't like it.
"Are you happy?" asked Haruto while glancing at the rearview mirror.
Atha tilted his head a little, "What? I can't hear you."
"No"
"You're not clear," the girl's hand hit the helmet Haruto was wearing.
Haruto chuckled softly, "Doyoung is above average."
"Huh? SO WHY IS IT ABOVE AVERAGE??"
"Yeah... maybe you want to have a crush, you like models like that."
Atha reflexively pinched the waist of the man who was giving her a ride, "Yeah, who wouldn't like to have sex with your friends' models, oh it's so refreshing, except for Bang Jiun, he's always being sarcastic."
"Hmm, yes," Haruto answered casually.
After that, both of them were silent with their own thoughts.
"Nngg but Haruto," the girl said softly and leaned her head on the shoulder of the man who had filled her heart and then tightened her hug, "you're also handsome, maybe Doyoung and your friends are above average, but you're above average for me."
"Huh?" Haruto asked, not understanding.
"No, just forget it"
Haruto, do you actually realize that what I like is you, not your friend?
The man didn't realize that someone was holding back tears.
