10 cm apart ♧ jeongsung

But suddenly you fell asleep so I was staring at your face

🍰

and the next day, there's nothing much different by the way they tossed and turned, woke up side by side. nudging the other to open their eyes and brave the morning. the two simply hurried for their morning routines, wash their faces and become fully awake with the help of the cold water.

it is quite fascinating that there's really nothing much to their dynamics in the first place, to say that it drastically changed. that's what jisung wanted to believe. the changes are miles away and they both just chose to ignore it...

and it's comforting.

they continued pacing back and forth the space after cleaning up their breakfast. they'd assist each other for i.d's and keys as per usual-now that they are leaving their living quarters together- unlike a few months back of basically being strangers living in the same dorms.

and it was just another school day to part times, to social and to cultivate media interactions, filling all the hours of a day with the sun and then they will find themselves soon returning to each other's presence and company back at their place, to sleep in late side by side. just how they started the day.

efficiency.

there's a huge difference in a sense of security and how they are much more capable in maneuvering around each other after inclining themselves in whatever sort of relationship they now had, they never had to worry wnding up alone, as they will always find each other with all intentions and not just running to each other. checking up with messages and their schedules, and line up whatever minutes they could spend with their friends altogether.

they even took showers together, as if it's the most natural thing in the world, they washed up albeit not daring to touch and kept to their own bubbles. jisung would lie if he said that he didn't miss showering with someone after being used to it as he's always done with seungmin.

jisung does admire jeongin's sculpted body, he remembered the younger did invite him to the gym once, he does go regularly, and appreciated the fact that jeongin thought of him, jisung thought it would be nicer to have someone to go with. that's where the security lies again. ansilent agreement to always keep each other in mind in every single thing they do, isn't normal, but it comes naturally for the two.

the morning after their first engagement in sex was adorably laughable, accidents do happen, as they stumble and laughed when jeongin had rinsed the soap so much that he flinged a blob of sud onto jisung's eyes. they freaked out in hysterical laughs, the momentarily happiness that sounded musical and the touches that lingered as the younger ended up cupping jisung's face to help some water to his eye gently. of course, jisung thrashed around and got out of the bath with a reddened eye.

jisung likes to think that their routine is ceremonious at this point in morning and in weekends and that if this isn't jeongin, he would've already crashed so hard on the ground and fell in love with his head over his heels. they scram around, and that if jisung would ever get a husband, this is what it would be like, hurrying to get ready and while the other accepts the tumbler filled with black coffee as they head out.

jisung had no trouble laying low, this is what he wanted when he first set his foot in the university. less cameras, more of the things he loves, and a finally he has chosen people he wanted to be with. it's not that being with sana and the rest of his old friends is bad, but it's almost distancing to the rest of people around them and more focused in them and their social status. being looked up to is nice and still is, but it more grounding to not revolve only in the same axis as those of the famous person in the department.

he would hang out with ryujin and jeongin's friends at lunch, and it was a breath of fresh air, jisung had started to act more naturally if people or his own mockingjays comes around and approach him, then respectfully declining any interactions when he doesn't feel like it.
