Chapter Twentry-Three

It's already midnight but everyone's still at the living room, watching a movie on their own comfort positions. Everyone's so focused on the movie— well, except Jaehyun.

Out of all things he wanted to say to Taeyong a while ago, will you be my boyfriend? is what he forgot. So no one could blame him if he's being grumpy or worse.

"Are you okay?" The red haired guy whispered when he noticed the man beside him with furrowed eyebrows while watching a comedy scene. "Yeah."

Taeyong knows something's wrong but he just chose to bury his body onto Jaehyun's. He's cuddling his legs while Jaehyun's arm is around his shoulder.

As soon as the movie was finished, each one of them went to their respective rooms. "Won't you wake Taeyong up?" Johnny yawned.

Jaehyun glanced at the smaller guy beside him, "I'll just carry him. Go."

Johnny nodded and tapped his friend's shoulder, "I don't know why you look so frustrated when in fact you already got your lover there, let's just talk about it tomorrow. I'm sleepy as fuck."

The younger didn't had a hard time carrying the older, Taeyong's actually lighter than he thought. Jaehyun carefully brought him into their room.

He softly lay him down on the bed, Jaehyun just laid down beside him but facing the other side. He might not sleep and just stare at the red haired guy if he faces him.

It's already 2 in the morning but Jaehyun's still wide awake, he's really thinking how dumb he is. Now he doesn't know when he'll have a chance again to talk to Taeyong and ask him to be his boyfriend.

The younger can't even find the perfect position for sleeping, that only made him more frustrated.

He was at the mid of overthinking things when he felt a hand on his waist, Taeyong's slowly hugging him from behind. Jaehyun felt his spine shiver down but he likes the feeling.

"Still awake?" Taeyong asked with his sleepy voice, "Sorry, did I woke you up?" Jaehyun asked as he roll over to face the red haired guy.

Taeyong's eyes are still close but he looked at him while trying to squint, "No.." he whispered. Actually yes. "Is there something bothering you?"

Jaehyun shook his head, "I'm fine—"

"Tell me, what am I here for if you'll keep secrets." Jaehyun heard how concerned the older is, he took a deep sigh before holding Taeyong's hand. "I forgot to ask you something earlier.."

Taeyong's opened his left eye to meet the younger's gaze, "Ask me what?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

Taeyong's body may be still asleep but all his senses woke up when he heard the question. He immediately sat up and looked at him, "What?"

Jaehyun also sat up to have the same level, "I-"

"All this time I thought we're already together after that confession scene." Taeyong frowned and rolled his eyes, which made his lover chuckle.

Jaehyun pulled him and let the older lean on his chest, "I just wanted to ask you officially." He whispered onto the older's ear. "Then, yes. I'll be your boyfriend."

"Is that the only thing that's keeping you awake?" Taeyong questioned while looking up to the younger, "Yeah, I was dumb." Jaehyun laughed.

"I don't care, everyone's dumb anyway." The red haired guy laughed too. "But you should treat me right, hmm? We're not that dumb to not do it." He added.
