A Secret Child

Ch. 7 - Excuses Excuses

Author's Note:
I again apologize for not updating and for the hiatus I am about to go on. At the moment I am sick and may have covid so I am not up to doing much. School work or otherwise. I am sorry for the short chapter. And I know that it is written terribly and I am sorry. I am writing this at 1:30 in the morning because I realized that I for got to make this last update. It is not good and will most likely get edited once I'm thinking straight. Please comment and vote please! It means a lot and it keeps me going! I love you all you beautiful creatures! Until next time! Anyeong!

Hoshi's P.O.V

"..."
"..."
Dang this is getting awkward! One of us needs to say something quick or I'm gonna scream... humph I guess I'll start than...
"Jih-" "Hosh-" I guess we both decided to start!
"Sorry Jihoon-ah, you go first!"
"... Hoshi I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to feel like I'm ignoring you... I just have a lot going through my mind lately."
"Jihoon, I'm here for you and I always will be. When you have something on your mind that is burdening you so much that you are distancing yourself from, not just me, but everyone else, I want you to come to me and talk to me about it so I can be there for you and help you through it! Please stop avoiding me..." I am begging at this point it seems.
"Soonie... I-I can't promise anything, but I'll try..."
*sigh* "fine, I guess that is all I can ask of you for now. But please try. I don't like feeling helpless when it comes to you. I want to help you but you have to let me in. I trust you with my thoughts. All I'm asking is for you to trust me with your's."
"I'll try Soonie. I really will. I'm just not used to relying on others and telling people my thoughts and stuff, so it may take awhile for me to get used to and fully start doing it."
"Okay Woozi, that's all I ask. I love you babe." I open my arms for him, asking an obvious question with my eyes. After a second, he leans into my arms and we wrap our arms around each other in a tight embrace. I missed his touch and I can tell he missed mine as well.

Woozi's P.O.V

After about five minutes of just hugging each other, we slowly pull away.
"Soonie, I'm kind of tired. I think I am going to go back to bed now."
"B-but, Jihoon! What about supper! You hardly ate! Aren't you hungry...?"
"No, not really. Don't worry I'm okay. I'm just tired. I'm going to go back to bed okay?"
"Do-do you want a cuddle buddy maybe?" I let loose a tiny, barely-audible chuckle.
"Not tonight, Soonie... I just want to go straight to sleep." (And so do I but nope! As if! Hehe)
"Humph! Fine!" He dragged out his 'n', he sure loves to whine! Heehee, this is one of the reasons why I love him so much!
I leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, Soonie! I love you."
"Goodnight Hoonie! I love you too!" I gave him a small smile and made my way back upstairs to my bedroom. Finally, the sweet comfort of my bed with no fear of being disturbed! Yay! I plopped onto my bed and promptly fell into a deep sleep.
