35: Acceptance?

                                    

                                          
"i am so tired!" 
Sunoo groaned, removing his reading glasses and placing them on the desk, safely, having clear memory of his uncountable glasses he had broke. He rubbed his eyes, which have turned puffy and slightly red due to constant use of computer. 
" you should take a break." soobin peered from beneath the rim of his glasses, his eyes held a warmth and understanding. Sunoo smiled, "thanks hyung, but I would like to finish this first." 
Soobin's looked a little unconvinced but then shrugged as if saying 'you do you' and went back to his work. 
Jungwon watched in silence before he stood up and grabbed his phone from the desk, "sunoo, will you accompany me to a small walk? My legs have gone numb." 
Jungwon observed the way Sunoo's eyes lit up, quickly putting the things neatly on his desk before picking his phone, "of course!" he smiled brightly. 
"thank you so much." sunoo appreciated the younger for taking the initiative to get off the work for some minutes. Everyone in the council room were working and he'd feel so guilty to take break for his own. 
"no worries, but you should take care of yourself." jungwon smiled. 
Sunoo nodded as they strolled round the campus, taking fresh air, talking about anything and everything before they started to head back to council room. 
"jungwon?" sunoo called out suddenly, jungwon hummed in response. "i have something to tell you." 
"feel free." jungwon nodded. 
"i like nishi, but I am aware of how less time we have before we enter the story, and I wanted to make use of that time but I feel like that would just make me more habitual with him and it will hurt me more... I don't even know what I am saying." 
Sunoo groaned, his face hiding behind his palms as he let out a sound similar to crying, confused on his own feeling. He wanted to let it out to someone who could help him organise his thoughts. 
Jungwon thought for some minutes, his thumb rubbing circles on Sunoo's shoulder, "sunoo, if it had been the old me, it would have told you to stay away from him. But it's a new me, so that's definitely I am not saying." 
Sunoo stared in confusion, his brain still comprehending the youngers's word. "you should give it a go hyung! Maybe, you might turn wrong and regret it later? So better something than nothing." 
Maybe I could be wrong too? 
Silence hung between them as they continued to walk, they had reached the council office when sunoo stopped and turned to him. 
"jungwon, maybe you're right. I should give it a go?" 
Jungwon nodded with a smile. 
"you should, hyung."
