"The heck?.." Seonghwa mumbles, before rereading the email. His eyes land on a link at the bottom of the page and he hovers his thumb over it.
Seconds before he pushes it, the bedroom door opens; revealing Wooyoung, who walks into the bedroom, his wet jet black hair almost covering his eyes. He continues drying his hair with a towel before finally looking up at Seonghwa. "What are you doing in here?"
"I came to check on y'all." Wooyoung replies, shutting the door behind him. He does a quick hair shake before wrapping the towel around his neck and shuffling over to the bed. He sits down in front of Seonghwa and smiles without showing his teeth.
"What's wrong? You seem a little out of it." Wooyoung says, his eyebrows furrowing together slightly after registering the unreadable expression on the older's face.
"Umm... You probably don't know the answer to this but..." Seonghwa starts, rubbing his nape as his gaze shifts down to you.
"Tell me."
"Do you... By any chance... Know what a Soulmate is?.."
"A Soulmate? Where did you get that idea fro-" Wooyoung stops mid sentence when his eyes shift down to Seonghwa's phone. "Can I see your phone, please?" Wooyoung asks, not making eye contact with the older.
"Sure, I guess.." Seonghwa mumbles.
Wooyoung quickly takes his phones and reads through the same email the older read. He feels his heart beat out of his chest, his teeth nibbling on his lip as he sets the phone down next to Seonghwa on the bed.
"I... Gotta go.." Wooyoung says, before running out of the room. Seonghwa tilts his head to the side in confusion and leans back against his cold pillow as the younger shuts the door behind him, his mind still drifting off to the email he read previously.
~~~~~
Wooyoung hurriedly runs downstairs, stumbling over to Yeosang, who's still patting San's head.
"Sang-ah, we have trouble." Wooyoung blurts out, latching onto the older's arm as he looks up at him, a stressed expression clear on his face.
"What's wrong?" Yeosang asks, his head tilting to the side slightly as he takes in the anxious younger in front of him.
"I can't tell you here." Wooyoung turns around and looks back at the staircase, turning back around and locking eyes with Yeosang, hoping he got the memo. Yeosang nods, understanding what the younger's trying to tell him, and he lifts his hand off San's head, running back to the bedroom upstairs with Wooyoung.
San pouts when he doesn't feel Yeosang's touch anymore and watches the two boys scurry upstairs. Yunho looks down at him, a little smile evident on his lips, before lifting the younger up off the couch and onto his lap. San leans back against him, subconsciously, an immediate smile appearing on his lips when Yunho starts to pat his head.
~~~~~
Wooyoung pushes Yeosang into the bedroom they were in earlier a little harshly, causing the older to stumble inside. Wooyoung quickly shuts the door and keeps his hand on the door handle as he looks at the older, his hands sweating out of pure nervousness.
"What's wrong?" Yeosang asks, regaining his footing and leaning against the desk in the room.
"Seonghwa knows about the Soulmate compatibility test I did." Wooyoung blurts out, watching as Yeosang's eyes widen, his jaw dropping as he looks at the younger in pure disbelief.
"How the heck does he know?"
"He got a whole email about it! He even asked me what a Soulmate is when I stopped by to check on him and Y/N!"
"Well, did you tell him what a Soulmate is?"
"Of course not! I panicked, ran out of the room, ran to you, and pulled you here!" Yeosang lets out a heavy sigh, brushing his bangs back in a stressed manner.
"He's not supposed to know until later. It'll ruin his chances of obtaining his Soulmate officially."
"I know, I know... What do we do?"
"You know we can't engage in stuff like this. We have to talk to The Head to get permission."
"I know... We can make a quick trip there to talk to her but we can't without your ability."
"I know we can't. Curse the stupid Soulmate World for not being on Earth!" Yeosang whines, covering his face, stress pilling up inside of him.
"Should we just not talk to him about it and hope he forgets?" Wooyoung asks, rubbing his nape.
"I mean, I guess... It's only thing we CAN do."
"But, hey. At least we know that-" Wooyoung gets interrupted by Yeosang clamping his hand over his mouth, his eyes widening as he seems to shrink under the older's intense gaze.
"You can't say it out loud. The Head will send people here."
"Sorry... I forgot..." Yeosang sighs softly and removes his hand off of Wooyoung's mouth. As boys stare at each other for a few seconds, a mischievous smile appearing on Wooyoung's lips as he walks closer towards the older. Yeosang forces his lips together and looks away, Wooyoung giggling softly and patting his head as he looks at the flustered boy in front of him.
"I freaking hate you." Yeosang mutters, before trying removing Wooyoung's hand off the door handle.
"Umm, where are you going?" Wooyoung asks, grabbing Yeosang's wrist and tightening his grip on the door handle with a smug grin.
"Can you let go please?.." Yeosang asks, his voice wavering as he sets his other hand on top of Wooyoung's wrist.
"No can do, Mister." Yeosang glances up at him, yelping when the younger grabs both his wrists and pulls them over his head. The older's eyes widen as Wooyoung turns him around and slams him onto the door, pulling his arms over his head again and holding them firmly with a single hand.
"See? This is what I meant by how we skipped a few steps in our friendship." Yeosang mumbles, blush creeping up his cheeks quickly as he looks down.
"What do you mean~?" Wooyoung asks, setting his free hand on the older's tricep as he leans in closer to him.
Yeosang leans back against the door as much as he can as he forces his lips together. Wooyoung giggles and lets him go after a good while of staring at him before bringing the older into a hug.
Yeosang ends up opening the door the second Wooyoung releases his grip on his wrists, causing them both fall out of the room. Wooyoung quickly places his hands behind Yeosang's head before they fall onto the floor with a thud.
"Yeah, you didn't think that through." Wooyoung mumbles, whilst getting up and towering over the boy underneath him.
"What the heck are y'all doing?" You ask. Both boys look quickly behind them, freezing completely when they see you and Seonghwa peeking out of the bedroom in front of them.
"Wooyoungs messing with me!" Yeosang exclaims, kicking his legs in the air a few times.
"I like to mess with you." Wooyoung says, with a smile as he looks down at the older.
"Wooyoung, you know the kid gets flustered easily." Seonghwa says, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling your body against his.
"I know, I know." Wooyoung mumbles, extending a hand to poke Yeosang's mahogany red cheek. The older quickly covers his face, smacking the younger's hands off him, before sliding out from underneath him.
He stands up, Wooyoung doing the same, before their eyes lock. A giggle slips out of Yeosang's lips as takes his hands away from his face, making a break for the living room.
"Cute." You mumble, a little smile creeping onto your lips as you watch the older stumble downstairs.
