Say you love me, please (Yeonbin fic)

<Chapter Eight: Us>

In the span of six months, Yeonjun's life have changed drastically. He's no longer a loner- moreover, being the boyfriend of an infamous soccer team captain means that he had been the center of attention for almost everyone in the university. Some eyed him with jealously, some with amusement and some with pure curiosity. Some had tried to even befriend the boy and though not being interested in socializing much , he still responded to them politely. The sudden shift of attention on him was unsettling but it wasn't that hard to adapt it anyways.

He also now has a place to call home?

After moving in with Soobin, Yeonjun never visited his own house again. He had no reason to go there anymore. This meant that his body had also been free from pain and bruises. For the first time in forever, he felt like he could breathe without anything that's holding him back.

Hospital visits are still applied for every weekend though and as planned with Jungkook, the boy successfully lied to his boyfriend that he has a part time job at the bar every weekend morning. Soobin seemed to not suspect anything and just took in his words. Yeonjun had also been carrying his heart medicine with a different Vitamin bottle as a disguise and Soobin's reaction was as plain as "Wow you even drink Vitamins junnie , such a healthy person".

Well I wish Soobin , I wish - Yeonjun had just beamed at the taller innocently.

Soobin still visits beomgyu's grave every week, even though he already took down those photos from his bedroom walls. Yeonjun was glad by that honestly. He would feel awkward every time he cuddled or make out with soobin inside his bedroom while the photos of his former lover would be staring down at them . Plus the taller boy still have his breakdowns at random times-mostly at night and yeonjun still got ignored.

Yeonjun was used to this, used to those bad habits.

Yeonjun was okay.

Every time the moody episodes passed over, the younger still melted back into Yeonjun's arms anyways. Yeonjun was content with it. He loves him after all. Throughout the six months, they had never really fought with each other. Not even small arguments . Yeonjun had always been extra careful to not annoy or anger soobin, like never questioning his actions, avoiding things that soobin doesn't like and at the same time always being ready for the latter when his mere presence was needed.

One day, when they were having ice creams as a dessert at the uni cafeteria , Yeonjun had ordered a mint chocolate flavored one, which was his favorite. His friend Kai had squealed out of excitement and high fived him for having quality taste buds but soobin has given him a disgusted look. Since then the pink haired avoided everything related to mint chocolates.

Another time, Soobin had wanted to watch a horror movie that was, in fact, too graphic for yeonjun's taste and plus there were too much gore which would be a bad news for his heart. But then, who was he to resist soobin's puppy eyes, and thus agreed to watch it.

That was a big mistake.

As some gross scene with little holes appeared - immediately shut his eyes in panic, yeonjun had ran to the toilet to puke. 

Well, he has intense trypophobia

When Yeonjun was in middle school, his father had intentionally tried to torture him by making him look at those gross pictures whenever good grades were not brought home. Reacting to them by crying was not an option because his father would hit his face harder every time he shed tears. That was one of the reason why he had learnt to control his tears- no matter how painful he felt, physically or mentally.

Being the typical university boys ,the two lovers never really use their kitchen expect for some light meals such as egg toasts, friend bacons or instant noodles. They both honestly don't know how to cook and delivery food has been their savior. When soobin one time blurted out that he wants some home made korean food - kimchi stew and kimbaps , as he was scrolling through his instagram posts, yeonjun was beside him trying to finish the drawings for clients. Though he didn't uttered a reply, yeonjun made a mental note to cook for the taller boy sometime.

Surely enough, when yeonjun finished his classes early the next day while soobin was left at school for soccer practice, he had a quick shopping for groceries and rushed back to the apartment.

Yeonjun started enthusiastically preparing the meals with the aid of tutorials online. The food should be ready by 6 pm, the time when soobin would arrived back. Though it was his first time cooking, the taste gladly turned out to be decent.

Tick..Tock..

Tick..Tock

It was 7 pm, and Soobin still has not come back. Yeonjun sat by the dining table, legs up and knees against his chest, listlessly staring at the food that had already gone cold.

Ding!

The sudden phone notification woke him from a faze and doubtless, it was a message from Soobin.

[ Binnie <3]

Hey junnie, i will be back a bit late today . Dining with the team players now.

Don't wait for me and order some food for dinner ok c:

Okay, that was enough to crush down the sparkly excitement that was presented a while ago.

Yeonjun just sighed and stared down at the meal in dejection. Well at least, they won't become a waste, he can still eat them on his own right?
