The Odd Doctor Out | A Drama | S. 2

253 🩺 They're in Love🎶

'Argh, no more! I'm exhausted!'

Sitting on a cushion leaning against the mirror in the dance studio, Wooyoung giggled as San came and collapsed down beside him, resting his head in his lap. He put down San's phone that he'd been using to film his recital practise with, and ran his fingers through his damp hair, massaging his scalp.

'Have I ever told you I really love the way you dance?' Wooyoung asked, and the moment San rolled his eyes at him, he giggled.

'Yes that does sound familiar. It's almost like I've heard it a hundred times before! How weird is that?!'

'Very!' Wooyoung brushed a drop of sweat from his temple and smiled down at his boyfriend, feeling all warm and fuzzy. 'Sannie...' he said softly, his voice suddenly sober.

San looked up at him with those sparkling irises, and Wooyoung felt himself melt.

'Yeah baby? You okay?'

Wooyoung nodded, smiling. He reached down and brushed his thumb over his bottom lip gently, watching the way the plush, flushed pillow rubbed against his fingertip... 'I love you...'

San's lungs deflated in a surprised, yet clearly happy, exhale. 'Aww I love you too, Woo. Are you okay? Why the sudden confession?'

Wooyoung shrugged shyly. 'I guess I just really feel it right now... It's weird... I feel so happy... No one makes me feel like this...'

San took a breath and forced his tired muscles to bring him to sit beside him. He scooted over and let him rest in between his legs, taking his hands in his own. 'You mean other than your parents and your Hyungs, right?'

Wooyoung shook his head. 'N-no... That feels different...'

He watched as San's expression softened immensely. 'How so?'

But Wooyoung didn't know. All he knew was that his heart was throbbing with an innate content, and it was something only San made him feel. 'I-I'm not sure... I just love you so much... Please don't hurt me...' He picked at the sleeves of his jumper shyly, unable to meet his eyes.

'Naww, kitten. You're adorable.' He reached up and brushed his cheek for a moment, sending butterflies wild in Wooyoung's stomach. 'I'm all sweaty, but the minute I shower, I'm going to give you the biggest hug.'

Wooyoung looked up at him through his eyelashes; his cheeks blushing. 'Maybe I want one now...'

He saw San smirk. 'You sure?'

Wooyoung didn't even bother reply. Leaning forward, he threw his arms around his body, pulling him tight.

And as San did the same, his voice was as soft as feathers as he spoke. 'Woo, I never want to hurt you.' He rubbed his back, holding him close. 'So please don't hurt me either.'

And Wooyoung's heart melted.
