At cafe7dream
Jake's POV
I entered the cafe and looked around to find Geonu..I saw him sitting near a window and looked  like he was speaking to someone..I thought it was Daniel so I walked up to them..

"Hey Geonu!" 
"Oh jake! come meet him he's Daniel's cousin.."
I came to the table and looked at the boy to greet him who was now hiding his face with his cap..
"Hey..I'm Jake..Daniel's friend.." Is he not comfortable? 
"h-hello Jake.."
An awfully familiar tone..
The boy finally looked up.
"Jiho!?" 
"Hey Jake..How have you been?"
Geonu first looked at me and then Jiho..
"You both know each other? since when..?"
Jiho smiled a bit at Geonu while I just stood there shocked..I couln't believe Just a week in uni I already met both Sunghoon and Jiho..
"We used to be best friends.." Jiho said in a low voice.
"Oh.." Geonu said but was clearly worried since I hated my past and he knew it..
"I..I don't know what to say.." I couldn't find words..I wanted to tell I missed him and I wanted to spill everything I've gone through but I just couldn't..

"Calm down Jake..you being uncomfortable around me is making me uncomfortable too..when I knew you were Daniel's friend I wanted to meet you as soon as  possible but I was not able to..so I finally mustered up some courage and came here.."

Geonu gets up..
"I'll let you two tallk.."
and he walks to get his coffee..

"Jiho-ya..I..I really missed you I swear..It's all just so sudden..I met Sunghoon too I.."
"I know it must be too much for you Jake..are you okay now? Your mom told us that you were sick and kept having Panic attacks so you guys moved to Australia..It must have been hard.."
"Yeah I just couldn't accept everything you know..Hyunwoo's death and Sunghoon being the reason..I couldn't digest what was happening..I'm okay now,really.."
"I was worried..but there was no way to reach out to you.."
"I'm sorry..I didn't know what to tell you so I just avoided talking to you.."
"I understand..So....You and Hoon met?"

I looked at him for some time..
"Yeah..I met him at university..I didn't know he was there though.."
"Did you speak to him?"
"No"  I gave a cold answer which definately sounded rude but I didn't know.
"Oh..so you don't know yet.." he whispered the last part and I couldn't hear it..

He looked out of the window..there was silence for sometime.
"I'm at your university too.."
 
I looked up at him in surprise..
"You..I didn't see you..really?"
"Yeah..I'm a business management major..I couldn't attend the orientation cause I missed my bus..and I was kinda tired so..and during the fresher's party I got sick..I didn't attend uni for a week so you didn't see me..but now you will!"
He smiled brightly..I smiled too..
"But Jake..what about Sunghoon?"
"I don't care Jiho..I don't care if he exists or not,I don't want to hear him.."
"......" He was quiet now that he saw how much I hated Sunghoon..


"Well..get your coffee..I'll go,see you at Uni tomorrow.."
"Sure.." 
with that Jiho left..and I got my coffee with Geonu and we chatted for a while before leaving for home.

Sunghoon'sPOV: 
Heeseung Hyung and Jay prepared a simple breakfast..tost and omelette..a light breakfast.
I still didn't feel well..my headache was sure gone but I felt a bit lightheaded and my throat was a bit hoarse..I could feel a cold coming..so I decided I'll head home and rest for the day..

"Hey guys..I'll get going.."
"same..I better get going too..I need to complete the assignment on upper limb which you already submitted before due date..I'm impressed.."
"I like the subjects for real..so I guess it dosen't seem bothersome.."
"I wanna feel that way too..let's see.."
