"who the fuck said that?" jaebum asked, turning maniacally to the younger.

"if it's not that, than what's wrong with me, asshole? why did you choose to mess with me of all the idiots?" youngjae said progressively raising his voice. 

"i didn't okay! i actually liked you for three years! the assholes i called friends  were homophobic as fuck and i was just like them!" jaebum shouted back.

"i spent an entire year of my life being duped just to be told that the idiot i fell in love with was a pathetic asshole looking for a good joke."

"i didn't want to! how many times do i have to tell you tha-" before jaebum could finish, his voice cracked and his teary eyes burst.

his face was red and his stance was vulnerable.

youngjae froze and the anger in him melted. how could he still be mad when he noticed im jaebum, one of the strongest people he knew, was crying.

he hiccuped as a sob escaped his lips. he noticed what he was doing and allowed a bitter laugh to escape his lips.

"i hate crying, i really do." jaebum told the younger, wiping his eyes only for more tears to fall.

"then stop." youngjae said, feeling bad.

"i can't until you trust me and say you love me too." jaebum said in a challenging tone.

"i love you, i do. but trusting you is different." youngjae said, placing a hand on the olders back.

"can i regain your trust."

"if you work to earn that shit, honey." youngjae responded, smacking his ass and giggling while running to the kitchen.
