*Flashback, a few months prior, halfway into Sophomore year*

Kim Ha Jin stood anxiously at the front of their run-down practice room. Dirt covered the concrete floor, wallpaper was peeling off the walls in certain areas, and a slight breeze could be felt coming from the broken window. It may be shabby and undesirable to most, but it felt like home to the six boys. This is where they spent a lot of their free-time practicing their musical skills, hoping to make it big someday. Kwon Ji Hyuk, Joo Byung Hee, Jang Do Il, Lee Hyun Soo, and Seo Kyung Jong were sitting down on the couch in front of Ha Jin, awaiting his announcement. "What did you want to tell us?" asked Byung Hee, waiting impatiently.

"I... I..." Ha Jin stuttered, feeling the sweat drops begin to form on his forehead. He couldn't possibly have felt more nervous about what he was about to finally confess to his five best friends, but one of his friends in particular he was more nervous about telling than the others. "I asked you all to meet me here to tell you that..." He swallowed, becoming more nauseous as time went by. "I don't actually have a crush on Kim Ye Rim. I just made you all think I did to hide the fact that..." He turned away and faced the wall. "I'm gay. I don't like women, I like men." Suddenly, he burst into tears, unable to hold them back any longer.

Everyone looked at each other frantically for a few moments, then they all nodded and gave a soft smile. Hyun Soo got up and walked towards Ha Jin, putting his arm around his shoulders to comfort him. "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Yeah, so what if you like guys?" said Do Il, getting up and patting Ha Jin on the back. "That doesn't change anything."

"He's right," added Ji Hyuk. "You're still the same old Ha Jin we've put up with for the past year and a half." Byung Hee stood next to Ji Hyuk and the two of them messed up Ha Jin's hair, causing Ha Jin to give a faint smile.

Kyung Jong slowly got up from the couch, walked over to Ha Jin and tightly wrapped his hands around the back of his neck and hugged him, standing on the tips of his toes to reach him. Ha Jin completely froze for a moment in time and tried to prevent himself from blushing. Before he could hug him back, Kyung Jong released his grip. "That was really brave of you," he said, then stood by Ha Jin's side, which made him blush anyway.

"Thank you..." Ha Jin began to say, "Everyone. You have no idea how much this means to me. I've been dreading this moment forever."

Byung Hee chuckled. "All that worrying for no reason!"

Ha Jin sniffled and wiped his eyes with his hands. "Yeah, I guess so!" He laughed, too.

Kyung Jong cleared his throat. "How long... have you known?" he asked, and all eyes were now on Ha Jin.

Ha Jin sat down on the couch and everyone followed. "It's complicated... I've basically known I didn't like girls my whole life. But I didn't know that meant I was gay... I didn't even know what that meant when I was younger. I've just always known I was... different from other guys. I didn't learn what "gay" meant until, like, middle school since most people around here don't exactly talk about it. I told my parents and sisters I was gay about a year and a half ago, not long after we all became best friends. None of my sisters were bothered by it at all, though they were shocked at first. My mother... was kind of hurt, but I think she's starting to come around and realizing I didn't choose this. And my father..." He frowned and sighed. "Doesn't say much to me anymore. He definitely took it the worst."

"Well... you have us," said Kyung Jong, looking up at Ha Jin and smiling, trying to be positive. "We'll always support you no matter what."

A few tears fell from Ha Jin's right eye. They were tears of joy, from knowing that the boy he wanted more than anything had no problems wih him being gay.

*Present, two months until summer break*

Kwon Ji Hyuk, Joo Byung Hee, Jang Do Il, Lee Hyun Soo, Kim Ha Jin, and Seo Kyung Jong were all hanging out at their usual spot - the pool hall. The entire room was unusually quiet and empty, excluding the six rambunctious teenage boys occupying it. Ji Hyuk, Byung Hee, Do Il, and Hyun Soo were playing pool in teams while Ha Jin and Kyung Jong were sitting on Do Il's favorite couch located a few feet away from the pool table the other boys were using. Kyung Jong, the boy who unknowingly had Ha Jin's heart for over a year now, had fallen half asleep and Ha Jin kept glancing over at him, admiring how cute he was. His heart was racing, as if it were about to beat right out of his chest. Suddenly, a crazy thought came into his mind. "What if I kissed him right now? He's only half asleep, so if I did, he'd probably realize I kissed him and then forget about it once he's fully awake..." Ha Jin then bit his bottom lip in anticipation, unable to take his eyes off of Kyung Jong. Once this thought and justification came into his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He needed to act on it, as risky and irrational as it was. He shifted his eyes towards the boys playing pool and noticed they weren't paying attention to anything other than the game they were playing, so he fixated his eyes back on Kyung Jong's sleeping face. "Now's my one and only chance." He took a deep breath and counted to three in his head, slowly closing his eyes. "One... two... three... *SMOOCH*" Ha Jin had planted a kiss right on Kyung Jong's left cheek. Feeling immensly satisfied, he opened his eyes and leaned his head back, reflecting on what he had just done. This made him blush a little. No. A lot.

Right after that moment, Kyung Jong quickly opened his eyes and looked up at the giddy, guilty-looking Ha Jin. He batted his eyelashes several times in confusion, tilted his head, and asked, "Did... did you just kiss me?!" not realizing how loud he had asked that question. Ji Hyuk, Byung Hee, Do Il, and Hyun Soo all immediately dropped what they were doing and stared at the two boys sitting on the couch, shocked looks across all of their faces.

"I, um, uh... I..." Ha Jin stuttered. The light blush on his face had turned into a dark, crimson red color and he couldn't fully comprehend the fact that the boy he had kissed just a moment ago was now fully awake and questioning him. Not even a single thought was able to come into his mind, so he just sat there, completely frozen.

Out of nowhere, Kyung Jong placed both of his hands on either side of Ha Jin's face and pulled him in closer, romantically touching their lips together. The kiss lasted for about five seconds before Kyung Jong reluctantly pulled away and took his hands off of Ha Jin's face. "I've been wanting to do that for months," said Kyung Jong, giving a huge grin while rosy blush formed on his cheeks as well. The four boys' jaws dropped and Ha Jin was still unable to move or even breathe, feeling as if his heart had stopped completely.

Byung Hee was the one to break the awkward silence. He shook his head in confusion and lightly slapped the side of his face to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Once he realized this was, in fact, actually happening, he asked, "Umm, guys... WHAT just happened?"

Kyung Jong tilted his head slightly once again and poked Ha Jin's left cheek with his index finger. "Are you okay?" he asked, giggling a little. Ha Jin's thoughts unexpectedly came into his mind all at once. He felt overwhelmed as his face lit up with excitement, smirking at Kyung Jong and nodding in his direction.

"Uuuh..." Ji Hyuk began to say, still trying to take in what had just happened, "A little explanation here... ?"

Kyung Jong quickly gave the four boys a few feet away an approving glance, then turned his head and looked directly into Ha Jin's large, russet brown eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "After you told us all you were gay, I couldn't see you the same way anymore. Before then, I had never even thought of being with a guy, but... you changed that." He blushed again. Ha Jin had covered his mouth with his hands and started tearing up, which was incredibly rare for him. The four boys still didn't know how to react as everything was happening so fast. Kyung Jong continued, "I kept thinking about wanting to be in a relationship with you, and wanting to do romantic things with you... and when you kissed my cheek just now, I couldn't hold it back anymore, I HAD to kiss you back."

Ha Jin was finally able to muster enough strength to speak. "I can't even believe you just said those words... I've had a crush on you for over a year now, ever since we became close. It really hurt to only be able to call you my best friend, as selfish as that sounds. I've never felt this strongly for someone before, and since you and I were so close, I didn't want to say anything and risk losing what we had since I figured there wasn't a chance in hell you'd feel the same way for me," he managed to say, but some parts were hard to make out due to his sobbing. He wiped away his tears using his sleeve and continued. "But I'm glad I was wrong. When I saw you half asleep just now... the thought of kissing you just came into my head, and so I did it as a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing." He gave a huge smile, wiping away his tears once more.

Seeing Ha Jin start to cry made Kyung Jong start crying as well. He sniffled a few times before saying, "Words can't describe how happy I am that you feel the same way." He frowned a little at the thought of his next words. "The only problem is that I'm not sure what my sexuality is, but I do know for a fact that I want to be in a relationship with you... and hope that you still feel the same way, even though I might be bisexual, or something other than gay..."

As soon as Kyung Jong finished his sentence, Ha Jin grabbed his hands and pulled him into a tight embrace, followed by another passionate kiss on the lips. Byung Hee couldn't help but chuckle a little and exclaim, "I take that as a yes!" This made the three other boys smile. Byung Hee sure always knew how to break the ice in the most intense of situations.

Ha Jin slowly pulled away from the kiss and looked at everyone. "But is it okay with you all if we..." he began to ask.

He didn't get to complete his question before Ji Hyuk, Byung Hee, Do Il, and Hyun Soo yelled "YES!" enthusiastically. Then Ha Jin and Kyung Jong smiled cheesily at each other, beginning to giggle a little. Both of their tears had stopped falling.

"You don't even have to ask," added Ji Hyuk. "We can't prevent anyone from being with who they want to be with." He walked over to Ha Jin and Kyung Jong and ruffled their hair a bit. "Especially two punks like you."

Hyun Soo chimed in. "You two already acted like an old, married couple anyway..." he smirked at his own comment, which made Byung Hee roll his eyes.

Do Il walked over to where Ha Jin and Kyung Jong were sitting. "But are you guys going to immediately announce your relationship, or are you going to wait a while... ?" he asked, looking somewhat worried and concerned.

Everyone's expressions became serious. Kyung Jong sighed and looked up at Ha Jin with saddened eyes. "My mother doesn't even know that I'm... not straight, and I don't know how harshly she'd take the news, but I know for a fact she won't be very happy."

Ha Jin wrapped his right arm around Kyung Jong's shoulders. "So you want to wait a while before saying anything?" he asked, "Because I'm totally okay with that if that's what you want."

Kyung Jong nodded. "I think that would be for the best for now, but I don't want to hide it for TOO long... I want everyone to know you belong to me." He winked at Ha Jin, who started laughing. It was so unlike him to be so possessive of someone, but Ha Jin kind of liked this newly-discovered side of him.

"Alright, deal," said Ha Jin, who was still laughing a little. "We'll tell the world when we're both ready." Kyung Jong smiled innocently as he linked hands with his boyfriend.

"Now that that's settled... are you guys ready to play some pool?" asked Byung Hee in anticipation. "Because I sure am!"

"Hell yes!" said everyone at once and they all walked over to the pool table they were previously using, starting up another game.
