Prettier Than Pretty [JongSang]

33

Both Jongho and Yeosang kept standing there in shock, trying to process the situation for who knows how long, both staring at eachother with blank expressions, both trying to figure out how is it that the other is standing right in front of them.

Sounds of the elevator opening and footsteps down the hallway could be heard but the two didn't even budge.

The footsteps were nearing them, getting closer and closer.

"Oh, Jongho why are you standing outside?" Seonghwa asked.

"I-I uh..." Jongho stuttered.

"Yeosang, let him in you ass." Seonghwa said angrily.

Yeosang stepped back, letting Jongho and Seonghwa in, his eyes still glued to the younger.

After Seonghwa put his car keys and wallet away he took another look at the two boys, his head springing from one to the other, "Y'all okay?"

"Hwa y-you know Yeosang?" Jongho asked.

"Since birth... He's my brother." Seonghwa replied "but since when do you know him?"

"Seonghwa is your brother??" Jongho asked Yeosang "the same brother we talked about??? Seonghwa?? This Seonghwa???"

"Y-yeah" Yeosang stuttered out.

"Can you two explain for those of us who don't really know what's going on?"

"We've been talking on Instagram for some time..." Jongho explained "Hwa can I talk to you real quick? Just us?" He asked, quickly glancing at Yeosang.

"Yeah, of course" Seonghwa replied, leading Jongho to the guest room Yeosang had previously slept in and closed the door behind them.

"Jongho what's up with you and Yeosang?" He asked.

Jongho was a little hesitant but he eventually answered, " I... Kind of have ummm... Feelings... For Yeosang. That's actually what I came here to talk to you about..."

Seonghwa chuckled. "I really started thinking he may have killed your grandma or something"

"Hwa!!" Jongho pouted.

"Okay, okay, sorry, tell me everything from the beginning." Seonghwa said.

Jongho sighed, "okay so, about two months ago I texted in our group chat about this guy that was commenting on my posts, remember?"

"I remember"

"That was Yeosang."

"Oh....OH" Seonghwa replied

"We started talking a bit after that and ended up talking pretty much every day since.... and I think caught feelings Hwa" Jongho explained.

Seonghwa looked confused, "then what do you need me for?"

"He texted me last night."

"He was drunk last night" the older replied

"Hyung...."

"He texted you drunk??"

Jongho hummed in reply.

"That dumbass...." Seonghwa sighed, "How bad is it?" He asked.

Jongho explained "not bad but... After complaining about you, his boss and his job he called me cute and said he would date me if he could and I uh... I panicked..."

"Panicked?? Yeosang? My brother Yeosang? Made you panic???" Seonghwa asked in surprise.

"Hyung, focus." Jongho replied

"Okay, okay... Did you reply to him?"

"Nope."

"So he doesn't know how you feel?"

"Nope."

Seonghwa took a few moments to think before getting up, dragging Jongho with him, "come on, I have an idea." He said.

"Wha-" Jongho stopped as they reached the living room, where the boy he liked so much was sitting, curled into a ball on the sofa. Yeosang was scrolling through social media on his phone, but his head shot up immediately as he heard Seonghwa and Jongho.

Yeosang and Jongho locked eyes right before Seonghwa spoke, "you two are gonna sit here and talk it out, I'm gonna go say hi to Joong." He said and then proceeded to leave the living room, going towards his and Hongjoong's bedroom.

Jongho and Yeosang were now alone in the room, each checking out the other, making sure they're actually there. They soon found themselves staring deeply into eachother's eyes, getting lost in eachother's gazes before even saying a word.

"You're even prettier in person" Yeosang said suddenly, slapping his hand over his mouth the moment he realized what he had just said.

Jongho giggled in reply, flashing his gummy smile at Yeosang which instantly made the older smile too.

Jongho never imagined this is what Yeosang would sound like. He imagined it a bit more high pitched, but in reality his voice was deep and warm, smooth like honey. His voice sounded comforting.

Hearing Jongho's laugh, Yeosang started feeling more at ease. Jongho shyly and slowly crossed the room, sitting on the sofa, facing the older.

Now they just need to talk.
