moony.

taeil was moony for someone again, head over heels for someone again. that person being his now boyfriend, the wonderful artist kim doyoung. he loved everything about him, from his smile to the way he laughs... doyoung's utterly perfect.

and taeil's utterly whipped for him.

nothing much had changed between them other than the fact that they were dating — they still went out together when they could and ended up at each other's houses. always on purpose and never on accident. taeil's friends saw doyoung a lot more and doyoung's friends saw taeil a lot more.

of course, as to be expected, today was no different. doyoung woke up in taeil's bed that saturday morning, resting his head against his chest as the other had his arms around him. it was the place where he wanted to be exactly. taeil was still very much asleep, his eyes closed and snoring lightly. just barely, actually.

doyoung admires his now boyfriend's face, making his hand slide up his chest. he then lightly touches taeil's nose before trying his best to sit up. as he does, he's then pulled right back down on taeil's chest, feeling a hand slide up and grip his shoulder.

"don't touch my nose," taeil says softly, his eyes still closed.

"hm," doyoung simply says. "okay. sorry."

"oh, no, i'm not mad at you," taeil's eyes fly open. "seriously. i — "

"i know you're not," doyoung grins. "did i actually sound upset?"

"no?"

"exactly, illie," he retorts, snuggling up into his chest. "it's just that your nose is cute."

"my nose is cute now too?" taeil says with his eyebrows raised.

doyoung had a habit of calling everything thing about taeil cute nowadays — doyoung was randomly lightly pulling on taeil's ears? they're cute. doyoung accidentally walks in on taeil shirtless? taeil's embarrassed blush is cute. doyoung goes out of his way to pin down taeil (well, attempted to) and tickles the hell out of him? his laugh is adorable.

now his nose gets added to that list of things doyoung finds cute about taeil. well, not that taeil's has anything bad to say about it. he found doyoung extremely adorable himself. since the start, before he even started developing feelings for him in the first place.

because, to be fair, who wouldn't think doyoung was one of the cutest people to ever grace this earth? taeil is immensely glad that he met him and fell in love with him.

more of laying around in bed ended with doyoung pressing a kiss onto taeil's lips that his boyfriend returned. when doyoung was attempting to find his way on top, taeil prevented that from happening, flipping them over as they both laughed.

after brushing their teeth together in the bathroom, they got dressed. doyoung no longer had to return to his dorm to do so since he just left clothes at taeil's place to wear since he's over there so much.

after getting a grey sweatshirt on, doyoung searches for his glasses case that he swore he left here alongside all those clothing. he moved around, looking everywhere he could reach for a familiar long, small black box with rounded ends.

he also added a sticker of some character he really liked when he was little so he could easily find it without confusing it with someone else's, like taeyong's pair of glasses. he feels like his idea was fairly smart.

"illie, have you seen my glasses?" doyoung asks, looking through taeil's drawers. maybe taeil had put it in one of them by accident — ?

"yeah, in the living room," taeil responds, sliding on his t-shirt.

with a happy smile on his face, doyoung left to go find them there. sure enough, on the coffee table, was his glasses case beside a cup that hadn't been put with the other dishes yet. just last night, doyoung had been drinking out of it and he could still see the visible remains of juice.

he notes to place it in the fridge later before grabbing the case, opening it and putting on his glasses upon his nose. then, he sat himself down on the couch with his phone as taeil made a quick breakfast for them both. well, one breakfast they split (more like doyoung feeding it to his boyfriend, as usual).

they had plans for this saturday, which included just relishing spending time together and board game night with doyoung's group of friends. taeil's friends had other plans, including johnny and ten going on a date and kun visiting family.

board game night went like this: taeyong and doyoung fought over what game jaehyun had to bring through text before it even started, jungwoo decided to show up with his roommate (a huge surprise to everyone), a bowl of crisps got spilled, and somehow everything ended with yuta being dared to ask his classmate out on a date and actually succeeded in doing so.

then, doyoung made dinner and they eat it together while watching tv. taeil loved this new norm alongside his boyfriend. when taeil was halfway falling asleep, he felt doyoung's head upon his shoulder. he managed a tired smile before giving in and falling asleep.

sunday was no different. on monday, doyoung had to drive back home to get changed and get his school things. then, he texts taeil and says he'll meet up with him a bit later than planned because his friend's car broke down. understanding, taeil drives himself to college campus and waits for him, humming a song under his breath.

he found a bench to sit down on and happily did so, pulling out his phone to check for anything he missed, especially on instagram. kun had gone to the beach with his family, ten had taken random photos of johnny at various angles and his boyfriend had done the same thing back. donghyuck, the sophomore student in taeil's chorus class, had apparently been out with someone else taeil didn't recognise.

"hey," a familiar, soft voice broke through the comfortable silence. taeil stiffened as he looked up, meeting those same eyes. park youngchul.

taeil doesn't say anything, whatever was left of his smile turning into a frown. youngchul attempts a smile but it hardly works due to his ex-boyfriend's unfriendly demeanour.

"we haven't talked in a long time," youngchul starts. "i want to apologise for being terrible to you. i really did love you at one point — "

" — and i loved you back," taeil cut him off. "i gave our relationship my all. but now look, i'm happy with someone else."

"i know," youngchul retorts quietly. "i saw your pictures with kim doyoung. i really am happy for you. i just... came to apologise for not saying i fell out of love with you. i was too scared to tell you straight up."

"that would've saved me a lot of pain," taeil replies.

"illie!" footsteps follow the call of his nickname. it's taeil's boyfriend, doyoung. when the rabbit-faced male reaches the two, he pauses just as he looked ready to launch himself on taeil and instead looks confused. "what's all this?"

"nothing to worry about, doie," taeil says simply, standing up and casually approaching him. as if he meant to rub it in his face, he takes doyoung's hand, kisses his cheek, and leads the way to the outside tables, leaving youngchul behind.

it reminded youngchul of something he did to taeil once.
