yeonjun wore a pretty simple outfit. it was just a simple, friendly date to the mall. nothing else.
yeonjun reached the said location 5 minutes late but yeji still wasn't there. after waiting for like another 3 minutes, yeji came.
"oh my god, i'm so sorry. i just have a very bad sense of time. sorry to keep you waiting." she said, panting.
"you really didn't have to run. it's fine."
"it's rude to keep you waiting since i am the one who invited you."
"as i said before, it's fine."
that's when yeonjun took a close look at yeji. she was actually a really pretty girl and her personality was also something yeonjun liked. she didn't get on his nerves unlike a certain someone.
yeonjun shook his head. he was on a date with someone else so he shouldn't be thinking about him.
"let's go in?"
yeonjun nodded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"let's retreat." whispered soobin.
"no what? quit being such a pussy. even if we get caught what is yeonjun going to do?" replied beomgyu.
soobin glared at beomgyu. yeonjun had gotten angry at him before and an angry yeonjun was a scary yeonjun.
"look, they're going to the...disney store?"
soobin turned his attention back to the couple on the date. they were indeed entering the disney store.
soobin eyes sparkled and beomgyu seemed to notice that.
"you want to go there?"
"i really do. disney is my favorite. especially the ariel lip balm."
"then let's go."
"no. they'll catch us."
"no they won't. now quit being such a wimp and come."
beomgyu dragged soobin out of their hiding spot, which was behind a pillar, into the disney store.
the moment they entered the disney store, soobin immediately went towards the lip-balm section and picked up the ariel one, which was the last one in stock.
yes!
"i got it," said soobin approaching beomgyu.
"hush, look at yeonjun and yeji."
soobin frowned and turned his attention to them. yeji was trying on some accessories which yeonjun had picked out for her.
"wow, i don't like straight couples but they would look really good together."
soobin threw beomgyu a glare for some reason.
but he wouldn't deny it. they did look really good together. yeji was not only pretty she was also a really nice person and someone who was really easy to talk to.
soobin huffed, turning his eyes away from the disgustingly cute pair.
"i'm going to pay. you can wait here." and soobin walked into the line.
"i think the clip is a really good choice." soobin heard someone behind him say. a shiver went up his spine. that was clearly yeonjun.
"you think so? i like it too. literally mulan is the best disney princess. period."
soobin rolled his eyes. mulan? ew. ariel was clearly better. ariel lip balms were the best. pEriOd.
"i'm not really a disney fan." said yeonjun.
really yeonjun? tasteless.
"really? that's a shame. when you watch disney movies, it's like you can forget everything for the duration of the movie."
soobin nearly groaned. why was the line moving so damn slow?
"maybe we can watch something together." suggested yeonjun.
ew.
"oh sure!"
finally the line moved but there were like 4 people in front of soobin.
"so, i was actually really wanting to ask this..." started yeji.
soobin rolled his eyes. what was she going to ask? dO yOu LiKe mE? wHaT's yOuR cOnDom SiZe? aRe yOu A ViRgiN?
"how's soobin doing?"
oh.
"soobin? he's doing fine i guess. actually he's being more annoying than usual."
oh, that's nice. really nice to know that.
"but i guess that means he's happy." continued yeonjun. "and if he's happy, then that means there is no problem."
"hmm, it's sad to see someone like soobin sad." said yeji.
yeonjun paused for a while and said, "yeah, i don't like seeing him sad."
soobin eyes widened. his heartbeat picked up pace and he allowed himself a soft smile. he was happy.
happy that yeonjun cared about him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it was 7:30 and their date had come to an end. yeonjun had to admit, he enjoyed his time with yeji at the mall and for the first time in his life, he spent so much money.
it felt nice.
"i really enjoyed today." said yeji.
"me too. we should do this more often." replied yeonjun, smiling.
"you know yeonjun. you've changed a lot. you're smiling a lot more than you used to. you seem...much happier than before."
yeonjun looked at her. was he? did he looked happier than before?
"i'm glad i'm happier too."
yeji threw yeonjun off guard by enveloping him into a hug, yeonjun slowly relaxed and returned the hug.
yeji pulled away and said, "i really need to get going. bye~~"
"bye." and she left.
yeonjun sighed. he looked at the pillar in the corner.
"come out, soobin."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"bye" said yeji and she left.
"can we leave now, beomgyu?" said soobin. he didn't get any answer. he turned and saw that no one was there.
beomgyu left him.
soobin curled his fists. that stupid piece of sh--
"come out, soobin."
soobin froze. that was definetly yeonjun's voice right? maybe he was imagining stuff.
"choi soobin. i know you are behind the wall, so please come out."
fuck life.
soobin sheepishly walked out from the back of the wall. he was embarrassed. like really embarassed.
he slowly walked towards yeonjun and before yeonjun could get angry at him he said, "this was not my idea, this was beomgyu's. that two faced piece of crap forced me into coming here to spy on your date. i had zero part in this. i can even show you my texts don't kill m--"
soobin was cut off with yeonjun's laughter. what?
"why would i be mad at you? it's cute."
...cute? cute?? soobin's face instantly heated up and he looked away.
"shut up."
"wanna know when i figured out?"
"no."
"beomgyu told me."
soobin looked at yeonjun, shocked. beomgyu was going to die. soobin would make sure beomgyu would never see the light again.
"you look hella adorable when you're angry."
"you called me cute and adorable in a span of 60 seconds. did something happened?"
soobin put his palm on yeonjun's forehead, in case he had to a fever.
yeonjun grabbed soobin's hand and looked at him.
"take me somewhere."
----------------------------------------------------------------
yeonjun sighed. "when i told you to take me somewhere. i didn't mean your apartment."
soobin lightly smacked his arm. "we're not going to my house."
yeonjun frowned. "then?"
"it's a secret."
soobin grabbed yeonjun's hand and took him to elevator. he pressed the 12th floor.soon, the elevator reached the 12th floor and the door of the lift opened.
it looked like a terrace filled with dish cables for the t.v's.
"why have you brought me here?"
"waitttttt"
soobin grabbed yeonjun's hand once again and dragged him to the end of the terrrace.
"this place is actually out of bound but i come here to clear my thoughts. isn't the view amazing?"
yeonjun looked. it was indeed amazing. the entire city was lit up with lights and it was such a pretty sight.
"this is sort of my secret hideout." said soobin, looking at the view.
yeonjun turned and looked at him. the moonlight illuminated his face, showing off his perfect features. yeonjun's heart started beating faster and that's when he realised something.
he was in love with soobin.
when yeji told him that he seemed much happier, yeonjun wondered why and now, he found the answer. it was choi soobin.
the reason he stopped cutting his wrists, the reason he started eating, the reason he became more confident and more himself was because of choi soobin.
yeonjun couldn't pinpoint what soobin did that made him happier. but yeonjun knew it was soobin
when did these feelings appear? when did yeonjun start feeling that soobin was the most important person in this world?
to these questions he had no answer. he had no answer as to when he fell in love with soobin or how he fell in love with soobin.
but if someone asked him why, he could give them a hundred reasons, a thousand reasons as to why he loved soobin.
soobin healed him. soobin healed a yeonjun who was beginning to have no hope in his world. he healed a yeonjun who had given up on himself. he healed a yeonjun, and helped him in becoming himself.
yeonjun allowed a soft smile.
he would be the happiest if soobin reciprocated his feeling but that was too much to hope for. for the time being, he was fine like this.
he was fine with soobin being his friend.
he was fine, as long as soobin was with him.
