"KIM DAEWON! KIM DAEWON! KIM DAEWON!" Yeonjun shouts over and over. He was at Daewon's school outside the gate excitedly waving the younger over. Daewon fought against the urge to cover his face in embarrassment and shame. It's been a month already, he should be used to Yeonjun embarrassing him by now. 

"Can you stop doing that?" Daewon questions when he walks up to the older. Yeonjun frowns and wraps an arm around the boys shoulders. 

"Daewon you should greet your hyung kindly. I came all this way to pick you up so we could go to the company together" Yeonjun pouts. 

"I would greet you nicely if you stopped embarrassing me" Daewon says looking up at Yeonjun. 

"Cheeky little shit" Yeonjun mutters as the two walk. 

"You know our training break is coming up...are you going to go back home?" Yeonjun questions. Daewon gives a small nod.

"My parents and sisters are excited to see me again. You?" 

"I think I'll stay in my dorm. My parents had a business trip to go on and aren't back yet" Yeonjun pouts. 

"The whole break?" 

"Aw don't be sad about me Wonnie-ah!" Yeonjun says wrapping his arms around Daewon's shoulders and pulling him to his chest. Daewon, being much smaller than Yeonjun could do nothing but let the older hug him for a bit. 

"Who would be sad over you?" Daewon questions after Yeonjun lets him go. Instead of scolding him Yeonjun laughs. 

"You're confident to speak against me now? I should't have become your friend" 

"We're not friends though" 

"What?!" 

"Friends have each others numbers. I don't have yours" 

"Ah...Daewon can I have your phone number" 

"NO" 

"Yah!" Yeonjun shouts. Daewon giggles and grabs his phone from his backpack. 

"Hmm, give it to me" 

"No I don't want to anymore" Yeonjun pouts. 

"Hyung!" Daewon giggles and Yeonjun laughs too. Daewon was such a cutie. Too bad he was too shy to get to know people. He'd probably be really popular.

"Hey anyone home?" Daewon questions his head tilted to the side. With a huff Yeonjun crosses his arms making sure not to look at Daewon. 

"Why are you being so childish? Should I call you my younger brother instead of my older brother? My cute little Yeonjunnie!" Daewon coos as he pets Yeonjun's head. 

"YAH! I'm older than you older!" the older shouts. Daewon giggles his nose scrunching ever so slightly. 

"Cutie" Daewon giggles as he settles back into his seat. Yeonjun pouts slightly looking away from Daewon with red cheeks. 

When they get to the company building Yeonjun and Daewon walk in together like usual until someone noticed Daewon from down the hall. 

"Hey Daewon!" a boy screeches while waving. Daewon smiles and waves back. 

"I'm gonna go talk to him for a second ok?" 

"Ah...ok" Yeonjun says. He watches as Daewon walks away to talk to another trainee and gets whisked away. Yeonjun sighs and kicks a rock before heading into the building alone.

Three days. Daewon and Yeonjun haven't talked for three days and it was really bugging the older. How had he become so attached to the younger boy in only a little bit of time? And how did Daewon become so popular? Yeonjun thought it would be easy to catch Daewon alone and talk but it seems the boys popularity has grown over the last few months. How had Yeonjun not notice before? Maybe because he was the one who was always with Daewon since he declared himself as his friend. Did Daewon even see him as his friend?  

"Ugh Kim Daewon" Yeonjun groans. This was really bothering him. He didn't want to admit it but he missed the boy. It was nice having him as a friend. Yeonjun was popular among trainees but they weren't really his friends. Yeonjun sighs again and bonks the back of his head on the wall behind him.

"Hyung?" a soft voice calls. Yeonjun opens his eyes and is met with little Kim Daewon. 

"DAEWON!" he shouts louder than intended. Daewon smiles at his hyung, his head tilted to the side. 

"Why did you shout my name like that? Are you my fan or something?" he questions. Yeonjun rolls his eyes and pulls the boy in for a hug. 

"Where ya been booger?" 

"Booger?" 

"Huh, booger" 

"What a weird nickname" Daewon says pushing himself away from Yeonjun. 

"Well?" 

"I met someone." 

"Ooh, is she pretty?" 

"He is pretty cute I guess. He's younger than me, his name is Choi Beomgyu. He's really chatty, loud and kinda crazy but I like that about him" Daewon mutters. 

"You're replacing me?" 

"No. He just wants to be my friend and has been forcing me to hang out with him....I don't mind it though since he's cute" 

"You are replacing me!" Yeonjun shouts. Daewon shakes his head and hugs Yeonjun again. 

"Hyung! You're my only friend...for now" 

"I think I'm teaching you to be too confident" Yeonjun sighs this time being the one to push Daewon away. The shorter boy smiles at Yeonjun and giggles.

"We should get back to practice" Yeonjun says. Daewon nods but doesn't move. 

"Hyung can you meet me before we leave the building for the night?" 

"Sure" 

≻〉 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⋆✦⋆ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 〈≺

Yeonjun waited for Daewon by the entrance of the building for a good fifteen minutes. At first he thought Daewon had tricked him until he saw the boy running at him full speed. 

"Wow kid you ok?" 

"Yeah, yeah" Daewon pants. 

"Why's your hair wet? Did you shower in the sink or something?" 

"Beomgyu thought it would be fun to poor water on me. He's really cheeky" 

"Seems like it," Yeonjun mutters. He looks through his bag for a clean towel, which luckily he had one. He placed it on Daewon's head and began to dry his hair. 

"So what did you want to meet up for?"

"Oh uh..." Daewon begins to scratch at his arm, a clear sign to Yeonjun that he was beginning to get nervous. 

"Well you said you weren't going home for break so I asked my mom if she would be ok with me inventing you over to stay with us and she said yes so if you want to you can come over to my house and spend break with me. only if you want to though you don't have to but--" Yeonjun covered Daewon's mouth with the towel stopping his rant. 

"That's cool with me" he says. Daewon sighs, his shoulders relaxing and a smile covering his face. 

"Ok....cool" 

"Wow so smooth Daewon" 

"Shut up!" 

≻〉 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⋆✦⋆ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 〈≺

"Dude...you're rich!" Yeonjun shouts as he stares at Daewon's house in shock. 

"No I'm not...." Daewon mutters. 

"Do you see your house! It's so cool!" 

"My grandpa, dad and uncles built this house. They used recycled materials, bought others and slowly upgraded for a long time...it's upcycled. We're not rich" Daewon says pushing the gate open. 

"If you say so" Yeonjun says following. He watches as Daewon unlocks the front door pushing it open and immediately gets attacked by two girls. 

"Oppa!" they shout. 

"I didn't even get through the door!" Daewon laughs. 

"Hi" one of the girls says looking at Yeonjun. She giggled as she looked up at him and Yeonjun had to hold back a squeal cause she was so darn cute. 

"hello" he says back. 

"Hmm. Who is who I can't tell" Daewon says. The girl looking at Yeonjun turns to glare at her brother. She had one hand on her waist, her hip popped out to the side. 

"How could you forget?" she questions angrily "I'm Haeun, and that is Hawon ok. Don't forget," Haeun says pointing to herself and then her sister. 

"Ah, arasso arasso" Daewon says petting the angry girls head.

"Who is he though?" Hawon nervously questions. Daewon smiles at her and points to Yeonjun. 

"Yeonjunnie oppa. He's my friend" 

"Oppa? You're calling me oppa?" Yeonjun teases. 

"I'm not calling you oppa. I'm telling them you're their oppa" Daewon says blushing. 

"I love your hair! It looks so soft. Can I touch it?" Haeun questions. Yeonjun nods and squats so the girl can pet his head. 

"I thought I heard my boy!" a woman says walking into the room. Daewon sets Hawon down and hugs his mom. 

"And you must be Yeonjun!" Mrs.Kim says turning to Yeonjun "Daewon was right you're very handsome" 

"Eomma, don't boost his ego" Daewon says. 

"I'm using the words you said to me. And if that's true I shouldn't call you handsome as often as I do" Daewon blushes and looks away from his mom. 

"You're mean. I'm telling dad"

"He's not here" Nayeon says as she sticks her tongue out at her son.

"You two are sweet" Yeonjun says laughing at the scene in front of him. 

"Come on, I'll show you my room" Daewon says fleeing the scene. He grabs Yeonjun's wrist and takes him to his room. 

Yeonjun takes a minute to look around Daewon's room. There were lots of science and math awards, stuffed animals on the bed, and lots of pictures. 

"Want to walk around the neighborhood?" Daewon questions. 

"Sure!" 

≻〉 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⋆✦⋆ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 〈≺

Yeonjun spent all day with Daewon and his family. He noticed that Daewon is actually pretty confident when he's comfortable and funny. Now the two were playing uno on Daewon's bed trying not to be too loud since Haeun and Hawon were asleep already. 

"Uno I win!" Daewon whisper shouts slapping down a neon green skip card. Yeonjun groans as he falls back on the bed, his upper body dangling off the edge. 

"How are you so good at this?" 

"Because I'm smart and you're dumb"  

"Little punk" Yeonjun says. he stays upside down for a bit, one of Daewon's cats. Mee sneaking up on him and gently pawing at his face. After a few minutes he sits up and notices Daewon staring at him. 

"What?" 

"I like you" Daewon says. . Yeonjun freezes and looks at the boy, his eyebrows scrunched together. 

"Y-you what?" he questions. Reality strikes through Daewon and he realizes how that must how sounded especially with how calm the atmosphere currently is. 

"Ah sorry! Don't mistake that for something it's not...I just" it was hard to get the words out now. The room suddenly felt stuffy and Daewon felt panic fill his chest. 

"Daewon.....I get it I mean if I were you I'd like me too but" Yeonjun blabs jokingly. 

"Ah hyung shut up" Daewon says kicking Yeonjun off is bed. 

"YAH!" Yeonjun shouts. He gets back up and smacks Daewon with his pillow. Just like that the tension in the room is gone and the two boy wrestle around on the bed acting like complete fools. 

"Do you really like me Daewon?" Yeonjun questions. They both were laying on their backs staring up at Daewon's popcorn ceiling. 

"Yeah but not in that type of way ok" 

"Ok then..."

"Hyung" Daewon says suddenly sitting up. Yeonjun props his head up on one hand and stares up at Daewon. It was best not to talk to much right now so that Daewon would have a chance to say what he needed to without getting embarrassed and backing down. Suddenly Yeonjun was proud of himself for being able to figure Daewon out. He was such a good friend. 

"I don't have a lot of friends so you're the third person to ever sleep over at my house" Daewon says. 

"Really?" 

"Yeah. Kids in my class say I'm too awkward and quiet to be friends with, which I guess I understand but...I like you. I like being friends with you. Even though it's really scary you help me talk to other people and be more confident and I kinda like that cause you make me feel comfortable around strangers. And you're really nice to me and fun to be around and you're handsome too and--" 

"Daewon if you keep complimenting me like that I'll be the one to have a crush on you" Yeonjun says. Daewon blushes red and smacks Yeonjun with his pillow. 

"I'm trying to be sincere here! Listen for once!" Daewon whines. Yeonjun sits up on his knees and pinches Daewon cheeks. 

"Ah my wonnie is such a cutie!" he teases. Daewon whines trying to pry Yeonjun's hands off his face while the older continues to laugh at him. After Yeonjun stops terrorizing Daewon the younger boy once again kicks Yeonjun off his bed. 

"You sleep down there tonight" Daewon says. Yeonjun giggles and lays on the floor staring at the ceiling. 

"Daewon?" 

"What?" 

"I like you too" 

"Don't think you can sweet talk your way into sleeping in my bed. You're mean" 

"Can't you see I'm being sincere?" Yeonjun says using Daewon's words against him. 

"Fine sleep up here!" Daewon exclaims. Yeonjun leaps onto the bed and cuddles Daewon. 

"Sleep well, dongsaeng!" Yeonjun coos as he kisses the boys cheek. 

"You too....hyung" Daewon says. It's quiet for a few minutes until Yeonjun gasps. 

"Hey wait!" he says sitting up. 

"What?" 

"I don't have your phone number. You said we aren't friends until we exchange numbers" 

"You're sleeping in my bed....doesn't that establish that enough?" 

"No" 

"Wait til the morning. I'm sleepy" 

"Fine" 

One day I made a friend. And his name is...

─────────────────────────

What do you think? Did they ever exchange numbers? Sorry for the long chapter but this mini series is almost over already! Just one more chapter to wrap it all up or daewon and yeonjuns back story! Also I don't know if I made this clear but this is pre-debut so Daewon is shorter than Yeonjun for now. have a great morning/day/night everyone!
