Seventeen Café {Coffee Shop AU}

26 - Wonwoo, why are you holding his hand?

"Jiyeong-noona!" Chan exclaimed and then laughed.

"STOP!!" Jiyeong laughed even more.

"Should we really call you noona?" Seungkwan asked, amused by the whole situation.

"No, please no." Jiyeong widened her eyes and then laughed again.

"I am gay!" Seungcheol smiled widely, sitting at the table hand in hand with Jeonghan.

"Here we go again!" Jihoon rolled his eyes.

Junhui was lost in his dream world when he slightly opened his eyes, smiling when he saw the figure of the thin boy next to him. As everyone laughed for a stupid thing someone said, Minghao giggled again. Junhui wanted to stop the world and catch that moment, keeping it in his mind to re-watch it whenever he wanted to. When he smiled even more, Minghao looked down at him. He found the boy so cute and smiled while looking down at him.

"Good morning, you sleepy boy." Minghao giggled as Junhui smiled widely, closing his eyes once again.

"I want this everytime I wake up."

"Oof, why did I even sit near you." Minghao rolled his eyes.

Junhui giggled and separated his head from his elbow, looking at the people around him with sleepy eyes. He sat back in the chair and scratched his eyes when his blurry sight noticed something.

"Wonwoo, why are you holding Mingyu's hand?"

"What?" Wonwoo looked at him, confused.

"Why... were you holding his hand?"

"I wasn't holding Mingyu's hand."

"Oh yes you were."

"I wasn't."

The two boys lightly blushed.

"Well, we have some other gays here. Cool." Jeonghan giggled.

"But we weren't-"

"Then what's with the blushing, uh?"

Wonwoo slightly bit his lower lip, he didn't know how to answer.

"Whoa, Junhui was attentive for once!"

"Mingyu."

"Yes?"

"No holding hands?"

"No holding hands."

Wonwoo pouted.

"What happened?"

"Do you like me?"

"Are you asking for real?"

"Yes."

"I thought it was quite obvious that I do."

"Ok."

"What do you mean with 'ok'?"

"I like you too, here's the problem."

"Is this a real problem?"

"It is..."

"You don't want people to find out, am I right?"

"When are you even wrong?"

"I am, sometimes."

"I don't believe that."

"You should instead. Everyone has flaws and problems."

"No. You are perfect, and I'm kinda worthless."

Mingyu put an hand over Wonwoo's mouth, getting closer with all his upper body. Their faces were just a bunch of inches away from each other. He looked in the older's widened eyes, as if he was looking into his soul.

"Don't say that. Ever. Again. You are worth it. Understood?"

Wonwoo nodded.

"And I'm not perfect either. I have my flaws, and I'm in love with a person who does have flaws too, but remember..." he left Wonwoo's mouth free from his hand, still looking right into his eyes. He was completely being honest. "When love gets in the way, all the flaws don't matter anymore. We have our own flaws, but just like I am perfect for you, you are perfect for me." He smiled.

"Mingyu... should we try this?"

"We can, if you want to."

"But will you accept me?"

"I literally flirted with you in front of my best friend. It was me who started this story, and I really want to continue."

Wonwoo smiled widely. He threw his arms around the other's waist and held him close, laying his cheek on his chest.

"Thank you." He whispered.

And Mingyu knew why he was thankful.
