Stendhal's Syndrome - JongSang ✔︎

Chapter 15

"Jongho?" Yeosang whispered, breaking their little quiet bubble and hoping he wasn't about to ruin their friendship.

They had just arrived to Yeosang's vehicle since Jongho had arrived to the field walking. His dorm was on the other side of the campus but they'd simply go in the vehicle to have it closer and because who the fuck liked walking?

"Yeah?"

"I don't know if I'll ruin our friendship right now but I need to say something."

Jongho hoped it wasn't something bad. He hoped it would be something that wouldn't leave him in shambles.

"Well, go ahead and say it."

"So you know my syndrome?" Yeosang began, unsure of how he was supposed to word what he was about to say so he just got straight to the point. "It's real and all and I just want us to take a step closer to curing it."

Jongho didn't exactly know what it meant and although he'd love to fully cure it, he didn't think he was ready for that part.

"Yeosang, I don't think I'm ready to fully cure you," Jongho replied in honesty, hoping he wasn't the one that ruined their friendship.

Yeosang felt something in him break and he wanted to run and cry. He was an idiot to think that Jongho wanted to deepen their relationship.

"Don't feel bad. Mayhaps in the near future we can take the step and fully heal you but I mean, we haven't even gotten to the point of dating so I don't think fucking you is a good idea," Jongho explained.

Realization crept into Yeosang once he realized how he had worded his sentence and he nearly laughed.

"Oh dear Hesus. I didn't mean that part!" Yeosang snorted, making Jongho feel embarrassed and he thanked the darkness for hiding his red face. "I just meant that I really really like you. Like a lot."

Jongho felt his insides explode. All he could feel were happy colours. He felt like he'd just won the lottery. Like a gentle breeze came over him. He didn't know how to react so he did the only logical thing.

Kiss Yeosang in the parking lot.

He pulled the older against him and grabbed the back of his head, placing his lips on the older's ones. Yeosang wasted no time in responding to it, excitement washing over him to know that Jongho liked him back. Well he assumed that was the situation.

"Fuck, Yeosang," Jongho panted, pulling away from the kiss. One arm around the male's waist and one holding the back of his head, making sure they were still close. "I never thought we'd get this far. I've liked you since the beginning. You were so fucking perfect I wanted you from day one and here we are. I honestly thought I wasn't to your liking."

Yeosang laughed, pecking the male's lips quickly before resting his head in the crook of Jongho's neck.

"You're an idiot. I literally pass out because I think you're so fucking gorgeous yet you still think I wouldn't like you? Damn."

"How was I supposed to know that the reason was legit? For all I knew, it was some weird syndrome that made you do that because you thought I was overwhelmingly ugly. You could have lied and said I was beautiful."

"You're crazy," Yeosang laughed, placing a soft kiss on Jongho's salty neck. "I kind of want to kiss you."

Jongho didn't waste a second in hoisting the male on the hood of the vehicle and leaning in so their lips could meet.

Yeosang sighed in contentedness and moved his mouth against the younger's one with much passion. Jongho bit the male's lip, causing him to moan and open his mouth for a heated tongue war in which Jongho dominated.
