After The Dance

❁18❁

Peeling his eyes away from his tablet, Sungho was about to dip another pretzel into the chocolate bowl but caught sight of his brother tip-toeing towards his babysitter. The boy made eye contact with his older brother and Jongho placed his finger on his lips, telling the kid to keep quiet. Sungho got the message and nodded while stifling his giggles to not ruin the prank.

When Jongho was finally behind to the older, he quickly snatched his hyung's phone. It made Yeosang jump and turn around so fast that he thought that his neck was going to snap from his head or get a whiplash. Realizing that Jongho was now in possession of his phone, he calmed down just a little.

“Amusing Jongho, now give it back” He had his palm out so that the younger could give it back, but it was clear the other had more intentions.

“Not until you get it yourself” Jongho stuck his tongue out before dashing out of the kitchen. Yeosang was thankful that he was able to accidentally press the power button so that the younger still needed to put in his password, but the babysitter didn't know if the younger did know his password.

Not wanting the answer to that just yet, the older goes after Jongho. He believes that Sungho would be fine at kitchen for a while. Yeosang saw the male's figure for a couple of seconds at the top of the stairs before it was gone. The babysitter has a hunch that the younger was leading him back to his room. So he tried to quickly catch up to him.

His house slippers padded softly across the carpet floors, his breathing getting more rough as he kept running, and his hair was bouncing from all the movement. It wasn't long till he reached the younger's room. Yeosang pushed the door wider to see Jongho in the middle of his room while holding the older's phone in a mocking manner.

“Jongho, I swear to god give me my phone back” The babysitter's tried threatening the younger, but with him panting from running earlier it wasn't as threatening as he thought he would.

“Like I told you hyung, come and get it”

At that, the older pounced at the male. Jongho held the device in the air, making the babysitter struggle a bit. The two weren't that different in terms of height, but Jongho was about half an inch taller, and he would sometimes push his hyung further to avoid ending their messy dancing early. Yeosang let out a few curses and threats towards the younger, even a few sounds of frustration as he kept reaching for his phone.

The two were by now had move at the side of the bed, with the younger slowly backing up more towards the said bed. Then, he found himself falling back onto the sheets, and out of impulse he grabbed onto his hyung's arm. Making the two of them fall together.

Yeosang got over the initial wave of shock as he lifted his head. He felt another wave of shock consume him after noticing the position that he and Jongho were in. He laid on top of the younger male's body, his arms that were propping him up were beside the younger's head, Jongho's hand rested on his waist. And the most important part of it all was that their faces were so close. The older's eyes were wide and he couldn't find any strength in his body to move from their position.

The males stayed like that for a good minute, doing nothing but stared at each other. It was Jongho who became brave and moved first. His hand that was around the older's waist moved up from its original place, feeling his hyung shiver from the movement. The younger tucked a piece of hair behind the older's ear before stroking the birth mark that was near his eye.

Both Jongho and his little brother would sometimes complain when their babysitter would cover it up with makeup since they found the mark so beautiful, so that led to the older with going to their home bare faced on some days. And today was one if those days.

Jongho's hand was now behind Yeosang's head, his hyung's hair tickling his palm. The two of them were still lost with the other, forgetting about the phone. The younger's hand started to slowly push the babysitter's head towards him while his eyes found their ways onto his hyung's lips. The desire to feel and taste them with his own lips was growing in him.

And the best part about it was that his hyung was letting him.

The older's eyes were already closed, allowing the younger to lead him. The moment reminded Jongho's back to that night of the Masquerade party, specifically the mystery stranger. Somehow, his feelings weren't that far off from the feelings that he felt when he was about to kiss the stranger at the rooftop.

As their breath fanned their faces, their noses grazing the other's, and their lips just an inch apart. The two were slowly closing the gap.

“Hyungie! I need help! I spilt some choco syrup!” Sungho's voice from the kitchen burst the two males' little bubble. Yeosang was the one to separate himself from Jongho. Pulling his body up to stand while the other remained seated on the bed. “I- I'll help him for a bit” The babysitter slowly walks back out of the room, until his back hits the doorframe. That's when he actually turns around and sprinted out of the room. Leaving the younger in a daze and his cheeks warm.

Once he was able to calm himself down, Jongho bit his lips over the fact that he almost kissed a person; twice. And he both liked the two. The male's feeling were practically spiraling out of control, and he had no idea how to get out of it. Thinking that he needed a distraction right about now, he recalls the reason why he was here. His hyung's phone was laying on his bed since he let go of it earlier when he and the older was busy with their 'moment'.

He takes it in his hand and enters the password. Jongho has seen his hyung type in his password a lot of times, it being a song from a group that he listens to. Seeing the phone wallpaper makes a smile appear on the male's face. It was picture of him and Sungho while they were in a cafe, the photo was taken by the brother's themselves when the babysitter went to the bathroom, leaving his phone at the table.

That gave Jongho the idea to look through the older's gallery since he knows the Yeosang likes to take pictures even without his camera, and they turn out just as professional looking. Scrolling through the recent ones, it was simple shots: Food and drinks at a cafe he visited, Sungho's face so close to the camera, even selfies of the male himself.

The pictures where now dating back to a couple of months ago, and it was when the younger saw a specific photo that caught his eye. It was a selfie, but the person in the photo was the mystery stranger. He checked the date of the picture and was confused when it was the day of the school party.

Why was there a picture of the stranger in his hyung's phone.
