ameliorate

chapter 15

after another collective night, laden with kisses, soft murmurs, and warmth, the sun arose.

and with the sun, the day. with the day, jihoon and hyunsuk. with jihoon... everything was supposed to come back, where it was before.

once park spotted mashiho among other members waiting for them, he deserted his luggage somewhere on the floor, dashing towards his boyfriend and lifted him.

"i am back baby, i am back!" he gushed while jumping a little with the other in his arms.

it was inevitable not to smile experiencing such a joyful greeting. mashiho did it, junkyu who was standing several steps beside them did as well. jihoon was still so significant in their eyes, he didn't change a bit during those two days of his absence.

however the current love mashiho had for the other wasn't the same love he had before, meanwhile for junkyu the hint of guilt and sadness happened to be inside him whenever he glanced at his hyung.

"did you miss me my mashi? how did you spend the time without me? did junkyu take good care of you?" while making those lovable inquires, he held the other's palm, smiling wildly at junkyu who was standing close by rather forlornly, didn't know how to behave.

"thanks to junkyu hyung i wasn't alone." mashiho blurted out, biting his tongue at the time he could say more.

jihoon however didn't feel that anything happened or changed in any way. his eyes were immersed in his love, so other things happened to be inferior.

junkyu muttered some gibberish, unable to answer properly and so they went on. jihoon greeted other members as well but came back to his boyfriend once he was done with everybody. separating mashiho from his friend, he started talking about his short trip.

he didn't notice the longing in mashiho's eyes to come back to junkyu.
