hyunjin sat cross-legged on the surface of the bare mattress, having balled up the blankets and thrown them onto the ground.
of course jisung would move on. of course he'd find a new boyfriend. of course hyunjin wouldn't have a chance. of course.
he had spent the rest of the afternoon and the entire evening sitting on the mattress, staring out the small window in the bedroom.
ever since hyunjin had moved in with jisung so long ago, his parents had turned his bedroom into an office of sorts. it looked strange, however, because they had left the bed in its same spot.
hyunjin stared out the window in silence, his features hardened and cold. the sky was beginning to lighten, but he did not feel sleepy.
on the contrary. he felt like he could run and never stop.
with a start, hyunjin hurriedly got up and began to get dressed, his body moving automatically in tune with his thoughts.
he dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and a sweater, throwing on a pair of sweats.
heading out to the front door, hyunjin cautiously opened it, hoping not to wake his sleeping parents.
but as soon as he was out of the house, he bolted.
the cool morning air pushed against his face, turning his ears red as they numbed. he concentrated on the pounding of his sneakers against the concrete, hoping to avoid the ice slicks.
the snow had been plowed and pushed off of the street and the sidewalk, so he didn't have to deal with the slush very much.
his breaths were even and frequent. his mind tortured him with the echoes of minho's words yesterday.
"what, may i ask, do you want with my boyfriend?"
boyfriend?
boyfriend.
"i wouldn't suppose you're the hyunjin that also goes by sam, also known as jisung's ex?"
the arrogance that had been twisted into his sharp features, the confident way he carried himself. jisung's new boyfriend.
"he's not home right now. so, you'll either have to come back later or leave a message."
hyunjin suddenly collapsed on the ground, noticing the way his chest was heaving with breaths. his eyes stung fiercely, but he wasn't sure if that was the fault of the cold air or the tears threatening to fall.
his lungs rattled fiercely as he tried to calm himself down, feeling the cold snow sink and melt into his clothes.
he brought his knees to his chest and rested his forehead there, pleading with himself to just move on.
just move on.
come on.
move on.
why couldn't he move on?
jisung obviously had.
the pain of his sore heart endlessly beating on knowing he could never get jisung back, it was torture. and hyunjin didn't know how much longer he could live like this.
". . .hyun. . .jin. . . ?"
he raised his head and attempted to unstick his frozen eyelashes from each other as an incredibly familiar yipping started up.
kkami.
sure enough, as soon as hyunjin was able to open his eyes, he found himself staring up at jisung, wearing a hat with a poof on the top and clutching kkami's leash in a mittened grip.
hyunjin staggered to his feet and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
jisung looked good, albeit concerned. his thick eyebrows were pulled together and his eyes narrowed. his lips were pouting in concentration, and his nose was red from the cold air.
"jisung. . ."

"it's so cold," jisung complained, wrapping his arms around hyunjin from the back. they were settled in bed together, kkami rustling around with a toy on the ground. a disney movie was playing from hyunjin's phone, ratatouille.
"i think i'm still sick; get away," hyunjin nudged his boyfriend's arms, but jisung refused to let go.
with a cooing tone, jisung pulled on hyunjin's shoulder, "hey, lemme see my adorable hyunjin the red-nosed boyfriend!"
hyunjin turned slowly, knowing jisung would most likely say something embarrassing.
sure enough. "you make a sexy rudolph."
hyunjin burst into loud laughter, his eyes pulling into crescents. "rudolph and sexy don't belong in the same sentence; you're such a weirdo!!"
"i'm serious!!" jisung jested, grinning widely as hyunjin's pure giggles filled him with warmth. "you know what? i'm gifting you reindeer socks for christmas."
the blond paused, raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. he questioned, "aren't gifts supposed to be a secret?"
"not with me. you know i'm horrible at keeping secrets."
