Chapter Text
It was heavy to watch every step Dowoon take. It’s too much to see the hurt on those eyes, it’s like something is clenching his heart and soon will break if he let Dowoon go like this. Because from the beginning, all he wanted was to take care of Dowoon and see him smile. He never thought that he was slowly becoming the reason of Dowoon’s sadness.
"Dowoon-ah"
Dowoon pauses on his step upon hearing Sungjin call unto him. He doesn't turn around as he is embarrassed and frustrated of himself.
Sungjin walks towards in front of him. He doesn't need to look at the hyung to know he is staring at him.
There was a deafening silence for a second before Sungjin carefully wrapped the younger to his arms. Dowoon on the other hand stopped breathing. He couldn’t compose any sentences on his head. He couldn’t even push the hyung away.
Foolish.
"I won't ask you to not be mad at me. You can ignore me as long as you want. But I don't want you to be upset just because you think I don't like you. I’m happy Dowoon-ah.. and its not because of anybody else. I’m happy because you’re here with me.”
Sungin would never dare hold him like this in public. He couldn’t even take compliments or have a little touch to a puppy. Although his left and right mind is everywhere, he couldn’t ignore the fact Sungjin is happy he is here with him. Then it means his efforts wasn’t wasted after all. But his left mind is fighting his right mind again.
Stop Dowoon. He’s not thinking the way you wish he’d be. You have to stop.
He snaps out from his thoughts and gently pushed the hyung away.
However, Sungjin is unmovable. “Just give me a minute. Please. Don’t say anything.” He asked and as easy as he is, he agreed without the need to say it. Sungjin understands.
“I like you.. Dowoon-ah. Like a lot. I've been in love with you, for a long time. Probably as long as you like me. You must be confused right now but I have reasons why I couldn’t tell you. When you are ready to listen to me, you know where to find me. Please come and find me..” Sungjin begged before removing himself from the embrace and stepped back. Dowoon doesn’t say anything yet the frown remains on his face. Dowoon is confused, he knows but he doesn’t say anything and let the younger go. Sungjin followed from a distance until Dowoon entered his apartment just in case.
However this time. Even if Sungjin had hurt him unconsciously, Dowoon didn’t lost his way.
Sungjin rings Jae’s phone and spoke to him as he walk back to his place.
“Hey man, how’s it going? Did you tell him?”
“I couldn’t.. he‘s really on a bad mood”
“I see.. it was obvious he was upset. You can tell him another day”
“Should I.. just back out?”
“Why? You already paid for the deposit!”
“I don’t know.. I kinda confessed to him today”
“What?”
“What?” Another familiar voice entered the conversation.
“Was that Wonpil?”
“Yes, Sungjin hyung.. I’m sorry for butting in.. so what happened?”
“Nothing. I just walked him home”
“Walk him home? That’s it? I thought you like each other!”
“Its a long story..”
“Man, I think you fucked up real big” Jae says.
“Part of it was your fault.. he thought we were dating”
“Ey, Jae can never like anyone but me.. tell Dowoon, Jae is reserved” Wonpil smiles through the phone.
“Don’t worry, I did.. now stop flaunting your relationship on me. I gotta go”
“Sure buddy, I’m sure it’ll get better. Ask him again when he’s in a better mood”
“Yep, I will. Thanks”
“Take care Sungjin hyung”
Sungjin placed the phone to his pocket and stared at the night sky. He shouldn’t ask Dowoon again, Sungjin concluded.
“Hi, Dowoon-ssi” A pretty boy who is at least an inch shorter compared to Dowoon, approaches him with a smile right after he got out from his class.
“Uhm.. do I know you?”
“No, this is the first time we’re meeting. I’m Wonpil from Modeling department, Jae’s boyfriend. You know Jae, right? He’s Sungjin hyung’s friend”
“I.. I know” Dowoon blinks down and gestures to leave. Wonpil then nodded and walked with him.
“Can I call you Dowoon-ah?”
“It’s.. that’s fine” Dowoon shyly replied. He thought of what Sungjin has told him about Jae’s boyfriend the last time they saw each other and he couldn’t help but think he’s pretty.
“Cool”
“Are you going to follow me?”
“Hmm.. Sungjin hyung is worried of you so I came on his behalf but he didn’t told me to do this, okay? I’m volunteering because he’s a good hyung and I want to see if you’re fine so he doesn’t have to worry but I don’t think you’re fine at all”
“I’m just really a nuisance..” Dowoon murmurs.
“Hey, don’t say that. He’s like that because he loves you. He’s been giving you all his time because he missed you and he wants to stick with you. How could you not tell he’s head over heels for you?”
“How do you know?” Dowoon weirdly stares at Wonpil.
A smile draws to Wonpil’s lips yet it doesn’t look happy at all. It looks more like a disgust. Like how Sungjin talked about Jae and Wonpil’s relationship. “He’s Dowoonie this.. Dowoonie that.. Dowoon.. Dowoon.. he doesn’t stop talking about you. He also spends less time with us after you came. I’m sure you know that better” Wonpil says annoyingly.
Dowoon avoided the latter’s eyes and faced the front direction.
“I’m blind I guess.. I couldn’t see anything but my feelings that expects he will never see”
“You’re truly blind but before that.. aren’t you studying veterinary? Do you take classes on engineering department?”
“Huh? No..”
“We’re heading that way Dowoon-ah. Do you have to go on a class?
“No, that was my last for today”
“I knew it. I heard it from Sungjin hyung before. Wanna hang out? Do you drink?”
“I.. yeah but..”
“You’re fine, I’ll call Jae when its time to go home. He’s got a car so don’t worry”
Dowoon ended up going on a small meat & beef stripe restaurant with the not that stranger Wonpil.
“Do you think Sungjin hyung will still like me after what I did last time?”
“What did you do?”
“I kinda got mad because I thought he’s introducing me to his boyfriend and—“
“And the boyfriend is Jae, right?”
“Hmm..”
Wonpil chuckled softly.
“Do you think Sungjin’s thinking about that?”
Dowoon doesn’t respond.
“You know him better than anyone.. you should know the answer by the heart”
“I don’t know how to make up with him”
“What’s in there to make up Dowoon-ah? He’s just waiting for you. Call him, he’s been staring at his phone all day.. according to Jae”
“Is he with Jae hyung now?”
“Yeah and with some other friends”
“I don’t know what to tell him”
“Tell him you love him and kiss”
“That’s not easy..” Dowoon pouts.
“My bad.. That’s what I did to Jae” Wonpil smiles to himself as he is reminded of his boyfriend.
“Ask him to meet you. Talk to him about your feelings so it doesn’t confuse you both. You’re just making the agony longer when you should be holding hands by now”
Dowoon began to ponder.. “Tomorrow..” Dowoon nodded to himself. “I’ll try”
“Why not now?”
“I’m drinking. I only had a can of beer with him before, he never saw me drink this much of soju yet. I don’t want him to see me like this.“ Dowoon looks at the five bottles they’ve finished.
“That’s cute. He’ll see a new side of you later. You know.. two years ago when we gathered, he was so drunk he started crying. Remember that famous scene on Peppermint Candy ‘I am going back!!’? He kept screaming that, it was so funny. You should’ve seen it”
“Was there anything particular that happened on that day?” Dowoon asked with interest.
Wonpil shakes his head. “No, nothing particular. He said he misses Busan. That’s it”
“That’s cute” A small smile crept in to Dowoon’s lips.
“You’re smiling” Wonpil gazes with a sweet smile.
Dowoon’s ears turned red from embarrassment.
“Sungjin hyung will be happy if you let him see that..”
“I miss Sungjin hyung..”
“So you weren’t angry at him..”
“I was never angry at him. Did he tell you I was angry at him?”
“Cute.. you should ask him” Wonpil says with his eyes shooting behind him.
Dowoon turned to his back and lifted his head to see Jae and Sungjin standing behind him.
“Jae.. Sungjin hyung..” Wonpil waves at them.
“We came.. you two are still sober” Jae sits beside Wonpil, placing a short plain kiss on his cheek as he wrap his arms behind the smaller.
“We may look like one but we’ve finished six bottles already..” Wonpil replies as he kisses Jae on the cheek as well.
“Why is Sungjin hyung here?” Wonpil asked Jae.
“We’re hanging out so I decided to tag along” Sungjin answered before Jae could reply.
Sungjin sits next to Dowoon, the atmosphere wasn’t heavy as they thought it will be once they meet again. Its reliving to see each other yet awkward and frustrating to not speak with each other. That’s so unlike them.
“Let’s call it a day. We should send Dowoon home..” Wonpil announces.
“But we just arrived..” Jae complains.
“We drank six bottles of soju” Wonpil stares at Jae with a meaningful gaze.
“Fine..” Jae agrees the moment he understood what Wonpil meant. “Sungjin-ah..”
“Hmm.. We should send Dowoon home first..” Sungjin replies.
“Okay. Let’s go”
The ride was silent and the two are sitting at the back of the car with a huge distance in between but the romantic music playing on the radio is fitting the misty night and somehow is comforting Dowoon. His head is spinning and he keeps humming as he gazes at the window of the starless sky.
Sungjin on the other hand kept glancing at the younger. He wonder what’s on his mind, drunk Dowoon is something he isn’t familiar with. Yet its cute, with flush cheeks and red ears. He thinks Dowoon is adorable when drunk.
“Hyung..” All of a sudden, Dowoon turns to Sungjin. His hand slowly slides on the seat and found its way to pinch and lightly pull the hem of Sungjin’s long sleeves where his hand is simply leaning on the seat. They both gazes to each other without a word. As if they are communicating. It was all silence and for all he thought, Dowoon seems to be sober now.
“Jae-yah, you can drop me off at Dowoon’s place..”
“Okay” Jae answers without question. Wonpil smirks beside his man with a look of ‘I told you so’ as they both smile to each other with a meaning.
Sungjin walked ahead and picked up his spare key of Dowoon’s apartment. Dowoon walked without issues. He doesn’t even look like those other people who gets drunk and become wild (and the other people is Sungjin) except his ears are red and his eyes are droopy yet it somehow feels like he is on his right mind.
“Hyung..”
Sungjin led the younger to his room and look for clothes Dowoon could change in.
“Hyung.. I’m not mad at you..” He says with his head down low, seated at the edge of his bed. “Are you mad at me?”
Sungjin doesn’t respond right away which made Dowoon anxious. His hand clenches on the sheets of his bed. Sungjin approaches him, bringing the clothes he found from the cabinet and crouches down to meet the younger’s eyes.
“No, I’m not. What right do I have to be angry at you?” He spoke softly, tugging Dowoon’s heart into a pound.
Dowoon finally met Sungjin eyes. Softly smiling. Lighting up the pink dust into a darker shade. Sungjin naturally returns the smile.
“Its nice to see you smile again” Sungjin softly spoke with longingness drawn to his eyes.
“Its nice to see you again..” Dowoon replies in awe. Keeping his eyes locked to the hyung.
Sungjin doesn’t say anything and took all the time he have to stare at the younger. No matter how long or short of the time they’d be separated, there’s no difference. And this time he doesn’t have to hold back to look at the man he’s been missing all this time. He found relief.
So this is how it feels to finally let out what you’re keeping in for a long time. Sungjin thought.
“Hyung.. I really want to talk to you but I’m a little drunk right now. So can you sleep over there” He points outside. “and don’t go until I wake up?”
Sungjin nods. “I won’t go until you tell me to do so”
There’s relief in his breathing and he felt good upon hearing the hyung’s response.
“Change your clothes.. don’t forget to brush your teeth—“ Dowoon chuckles warmly at the reminders. Sungjin pauses and realizes what he is doing. “and.. sleep well” He says at the end of his sentence.
The room once again is filled with silence until Sungjin spoke. “Good night, Dowoonie..”
“Good night.. Sungjin hyung..” And Dowoon watched every single step Sungjin did until he closes the door.
Sungjin walks out of the room with the remaining smile on his lips. His smile got wider when he realized there’s no place for him to sleep here apart from the sofa on the living room. Dowoon is cute when drunk, that’s all he could think of.
He gathered the three tiny pillows of the sofa, he placed one for the back of his head, one for his arms and discarding the other one on the corner of the sofa. He bends his leg so he could fit at the small sofa. He began to drift off to his slumber with a smile on his face although it was a bit cold without blanket.
But before he could fall deeply into sleep, he heard a soft sound of the creaking door as if it was being opened slowly. And after a few seconds, he felt something warm covering his body before he could hear another sound of the creaking door being closed.
Once again, a smile subconsciously draws to his lips before he could fall deeply into sleep.
“Good morning!” Sungjin says as he hear the door open. He’s currently at the kitchen but the apartment isn’t that large enough to not find the younger stepping out from his room with a bed head after turning to his back.
“Good.. morning..” Dowoon reluctantly replies yet a little braver than he used to from the past few weeks he hasn’t seen the hyung.
“Eat now.. I made you hangover soup” Sungjin says as he pulls a chair for the younger. It is not the first Sungjin treated him this nicely but it strangely feels different compare to the other days. Or its just him.. since Sungjin doesn’t look or feel differently.
Dowoon sat down quietly and picked up his spoon. He blows the soup and took a sip on it. His eyes widen after the first sip. Sungjin chuckles.
“Is this your first hangover?”
Dowoon hums as he continue to eat. Its delicious, Dowoon thinks and as much as he thinks the food is delicious, he couldn’t stop the bothering feeling of being intensely stared by the person next to him.
“Hy.. hyung.. can you stop.. looking at me?” There’s a little embarrassment on his tone and he began to reflect of how much he probably bothers Sungjin just by staring at him.
So this is how it feels like.. to have the eyes of the person you love.
“Sorry.. I’ll go there.. call me when you need help” Sungjin points at the sofa however before he could go, Dowoon holds him back.
“I didn’t say you can go.. just don’t stare at me. I’m embarrassed..”
“That’s impossible. I haven’t seen you for weeks..”
“You were not like this when I first came here and we haven’t seen each other for two years!”
“Find me an evidence that shows I haven’t stared at you the whole time!”
“I— stop teasing me!”
“I’m not teasing you! I’m only defending myself!”
“Childish..” Dowoon murmurs.
“I can hear you..”
Dowoon pouts and continued his soup. Sungjin stays next to him, hiding a smile so he doesn’t embarrass the now flushed looking face of the younger.
Its weekend and there’s nothing else to do. Usually he spends his weekend at Sungjin’s apartment and bother him even when he’s studying but now Sungjin is in his apartment and too embarrassed to even look at the older who doesn’t look bothered at all makes him feel curious and conscious at the same time.
Sungjin plays with his phone the whole time after he washed the used plates, wash up and silently sits at the sofa. He doesn’t bother Dowoon and let him do whatever he want until the freshly bathed Dowoon sat next to him and finally spoke.
“Sungjin hyung..”
“Hmm?”
“I’m curious.. what did you want to tell me the last time we met?”
“That..” Sungjin scratched his nape before he began. “I had a surprise for you.. honestly I didn’t think I had to consult you about it because I believed you would be happy but now.. I’m not really sure” Sungjin shook his head and stares into nothing as Dowoon waited for him to answer his curiosity. “I keep telling myself that I wanted you to grow without needing me to be always next to you. Yet, when you told me you can be without me, I got scared of the idea of you not needing me. I’m such a hypocrite. But that’s how I feel, I can’t deny it. And I’m disappointed to myself for feeling that way.. for needing you. For wanting you next to me although I keep hurting you”
The doe eyes of the younger kept it locked to the almost teary eyes of the hyung. He eagerly listens yet he still couldn’t figure out what seems to be the issue. If it was what he said last time, he didn’t mean to say it. He always wants to be with Sungjin.
“I’m selfish.. don’t you think so?”
Dowoon doesn’t answer. He doesn’t know how to respond, yet there’s hurt on his eyes when he saw the reflection of hurt from his hyung.
Sungjin composes himself before he continues.
“Your mom called me few weeks ago and asked me to take care of you.. I didn’t think much about it when I suggested to share an apartment with you. I knew she‘ll love the idea. Besides, you’re always staying in my place. I thought you’d agree with me if I asked you.. but the last time we met, you made me realize how inconsiderate I was of your feelings. That I’m actually always trying to keep you without telling you how I feel. I have wronged you too many times..” Sungjin glances at Dowoon. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you what I truly feel. I keep telling you I’m your hyung yet I always fail to be a good hyung to you”
Dowoon tries to understand what Sungjin is feeling at the moment but he couldn’t completely brought himself to conclusion until he can ask this one question he had in mind.
“Then.. why won’t you tell me how you feel?”
“Do you remember? Even when we were young, you’ve always been stubborn, you’d follow me even if you’d bruise your legs from falling too many times because your steps were tiny compared to mine..”
“I was young.. I don’t remember” Dowoon sheepishly smiles of the memory, deep down it was precious to him. Every memory they had was precious to him.
A sad smile forms to Sungjin’s lip. “When we started growing up, you’ve been the same. I thought I could ignore you one day but my feelings began to grow for you and as I watch myself fall in love with you, I was more worried that I might hold you back to choosing what you wanna do in life. I didn’t want that for you. I want you to picture out your future without me in it so you’d be satisfied of your choices so one day if we lose each other, you can return to them without me holding you back. I wanted you to be happy because its yours choice. That’s why I couldn’t tell you..”
“Did you leave Busan because you were burden of my feelings?” Dowoon worries that it might be what Sungjin actually feels.
“No!” Sungjin answers right away. “I left because of me. Because I want to study on this university. And I wondered how I’d do without you”
Dowoon nods in understanding.
“It might sound extremely weird to ask.. but do you like the university better than me?”
“No..” This time Sungjin answered softly. “The first few months was hard. I missed you all the time.. but I had to go.. so I’d grow to be who I am and you’d grow to be who you are. I was thinking if you’ll still be at Busan by the time I graduate and you’re still single, I’d ask you to date me..” A shy smile crept to Sungjin’s lip. “..but when you came here.. I was extremely happy to see you. I keep telling myself that I want you to be responsible to yourself yet I keep finding myself coming for you every time you call me. I think it was me.. I was the one whose dependent of your presence.” Sungjin bashfully says.
Dowoon stares at his hyung with uncovered fondness yet there’s so much thoughts coming to his mind. He understands it now.
“Hyung.. I like studying my course.. its difficult but I feel like I’m becoming a real doctor. I’m going to be a veterinarian. I also like the mint chocolate ice cream that you hate.. I also want to have a pet in my room but I’m also having a hard time choosing between a bunny or a hamster.. but right now I think I’ll get a hamster”
Sungjin doesn’t know why Dowoon is telling him all of those things right now but Sungjin lists them to his mind.
“And.. I like you more than I like them. I understand that following you might affect all of my decisions.. but instead Of thinking that way.. can’t you tell that you were my inspiration? If it wasn’t for you.. my parents won’t be proud of me. You haven’t seen the reaction of the entire neighborhood when I passed your university. They thought I cheated on the exam but I got in because I wanted to be on the same university as you. I wanted to take veterinary because after you gave me little cat, I found love to animals. I joined the band competition because I wanted to win so bad so I can buy Tory and show him to you because you made me believe that I can take care of something else. I was growing by myself hyung.. except that you were the water and the sunlight I needed to realize those. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am right now”
Dowoon gently held Sungjin’s hand and placed it on his lap. He stares at them with adoration.
“The reason why my dream is you and not them.. is because you gave me all the reason to find what I love.. and.. they were all with you. I tried to stop myself from loving you but it was no use.. your actions tells me not to get over you. Even if you tell me you’re only doing your part as my hyung because my parents told you to take care of me.. I couldn’t ignore how you treat me. It kept giving me false hope. But it wasn’t hopeless.. right?”
“I know I said I wanted to protect you because I’m your hyung but it wasn’t true. Being your hyung was an excuse.. I like you for as long as I could remember. Without that excuse, I didn’t know how I could take care of you..”
“Hyung.. I want to tell you that you weren’t being hypocrite. You were torn between what your values and your heart tells you.. and haven’t you’ve been following your values for so long? This time.. can you follow your heart.. and choose me?”
“Have you forgiven me?”
“There was nothing to forgive hyung, I understand. I understand everything now. I don’t blame you.. but.. let’s just be more honest now..”
“Okay..” Sungjin says under his breath before moving closer to the younger to pull him for an embrace. “I’ll do my best. Thank you”
“Me too.. thank you.. for telling me everything” Dowoon says as he pull the hyung closer to his heart.
It was all quiet with a crescent smile forming on their eyes as they hold each other in the arms until Dowoon boldly asked something.
“Hyung, can I kiss you now?” Dowoon pulled away from the embrace.
It was Sungjin’s turn to blush. His face is pinkish and Dowoon thinks his hyung looks lovely.
“I just want to make this official.. you know.. I was told.. a kiss will resolve everything..”
“Hmm?” Sungjin was reminded of Ryujin who told him the same thing a long time ago. “Who told you that?”
“Does it matter?” Dowoon asked before cupping the hyung’s cheek and pulling him closer until their lips touched. It was only a light touch from the beginning until Sungjin pushes his lips to reciprocate.
Dowoon led and turned to an angle for a better access. It was gentle and sweet. It was soft and Sungjin could only follow. They were both light headed and their stomach were filled with butterflies. Their flushed cheeks were hot and they couldn’t be happier. Its finally happening.
Sungjin could clearly see everything now. There was no perfect time, no perfect plan to confess how he truly feel. When it happens, it happens. Although communication is the best way to resolve everything. Ryujin wasn’t wrong, a kiss brought assurance and trust between them. And Sungjin will surely take care of it.. just like he always do. Except he’d be bolder and confident to make Dowoon happy this time.
“It seems like you can’t kiss hyung” Dowoon teases Sungjin. “That’s fine, I imagined kissing you everyday.. I can handle this” Dowoon cackles and Sungin is offended.
“Hyung.. do you still want to share the same apartment?”
“Do you want to?”
“It was my dream to share the same room as yours”
“Dream on, there’s two bedrooms on that apartment”
Dowoon clicked his tongue. “That’s fine, I will slowly reach my dream. You better be on guard” Dowoon squinted his eyes as if he had a bad plan on his mind.
Sungjin definitely knows what it is.
"Its better to see you get along” Wonpil whispers to Dowoon with a giggle.
"Huh? Uh.." Dowoon awkwardly responds.
"He's really cute.. look at his cheek, he's blushing" Wonpil announces to the two other guys moving Dowoon and Sungjin’s stuffs on the new apartment.
"Yah! Kim Wonpil.. stop fancying someone else's boyfriend in front of your boyfriend"
"I'm not! Are you jealous?" Wonpil chuckles.
"Hell no.. give me a hand"
"Okay.." Wonpil pretends to take the box from Jae before pulling the taller down so he could place a kiss on his cheek.
Jae blushes at the sudden contact. Wonpil once again cackles at the reaction which he never get tired of seeing over and over again.
"Hyung!" Dowoon ran to Sungjin right after seeing him rummaging at the trunk of Jae’s car.
"Don't stand too close to those two, its disgusting" Sungjin warns Dowoon as if he's seen the same scene for a hundred times.
"They're acting like they're on a picnic"
"They're always on a picnic"
"I'm envious" Dowoon eyes Sungjin.
Sungjin hisses. Unable to respond and Dowoon teasingly smiles at the reaction.
"Hyung, thank you for taking me in. Please take care of me" A crooked smile shows up to Dowoon's lip, Sungjin almost laughed at the expression. He reaches out to shake Dowoon's awaiting hand.
"Ditto"
Sungjin and Dowoon entered the apartment to put down the last of the stuffs they have to move.
“I think that’s it. We got everything” Dowoon informs them.
“Right. Let’s eat before you go” Sungjin invites the couple.
“No, its okay. We still have to meet Jae’s parents. I don’t want to keep them waiting” Wonpil says with the preparation of leaving. And Jae closing the trunk.
“Okay. Go ahead, take care” The two says in unison as they know its a lot important.
“Sungjin-ah” Dowoon calls.
Sungjin turns to him with an unbelievable look in his eyes. “Yah! Sungjin?”
“Why? Its nice to call you by your name.. Sung..jin.. please sit next to me”
Sungjin clicks his tongue and glances to the mess inside the apartment and as much as he wants to put everything on its right place, its hard for him to ignore the younger’s request.
He sat down on the sofa with an annoyed look in his face.
“Why?”
Dowoon only smiled and pulled Sungjin’s arms to wrap around his shoulders before he nuzzles to Sungjin’s embrace.
“Let’s just be like this for a while” Dowoon says as he closes his eyes. Resting his head to Sungjin’s chest with a small smile creeping in to his lips. Listening to the rhythm of Sungjin’s heartbeat that is similar to his.
Dowoon felt the larger hand to his cheek and he looks up to meet his eyes. Sungjin is staring at him quietly full of adoration on his eyes. And Dowoon is too overwhelmed by it. He couldn’t believe it.. that the hyung he loved all his life loved him as long as he do.
Dowoon has always been a cheerful kid until he grew up. When he smiles or when he laughs, everything becomes better. For some reason, it was Sungjin’s medicine when he is pressured, tired or having a hard time. He had always wanted to embrace Dowoon like this and hold him any time. Now that he’s holding Dowoon. He knows what to do. Although he is still uncertain of himself after the events, as long as his love is unwavering, soon.. everything will be alright.
“Dowoon-ah.. if I hurt your feelings let me know.. because from now on.. all I want is to see you smile like this everyday..”
Dowoon’s doe eyes sparkles, turning into a crescent smile when his smile became a wide grin.
“Me too hyung.. I will do the same”
Sungjin nods at him with a soft smile forming on his face, his thumb brushes Dowoon’s cheek before he leans in to pull the younger into a kiss
