Our way to each other | Binwoo

"Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"Not just this... Jinjin hyung said I should talk to someone who knows why I am like this. It's you who knows. Help me. Listen to me, please."

"Sure, Binnie, go ahead."

It wasn't a very long story but it took about 10-15 minutes to say everything. And Bin told his hyung how sad he was, how heartbreaking was hearing Eunwoo's stories about Mina, how he rejected his true self and still didn't fully accept that he fell in love with a boy. And after that, there was a silence. It wasn't awkward, rather calm yet oppressive, MJ was processing the information with his gaze glued to the table while Bin was worried.

"I'm sorry I can't say 'I understand you' because I've never experienced this, but I want you to know that I'm always here if you need someone's support, if you want to talk or just want to spend free time together. I'm always here."

"Thank you."

"What do you feel now?" Don't you feel relieved, at least a little?"

"I do feel relieved a bit because I don't have to keep all that in myself. I feel better."

"Glad to hear that. You should've told me earlier... you know, that day..."

"I wasn't ready. After that time when you asked whether I had feelings for Eunwoo, I began to deny everything as if I had taken a hundred steps back and returned to the beginning of accepting myself."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

"Don't be. If you didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to make the first step and come to you to talk."

"Good then. But what will you do with Eunwoo now?"

"Do I even have a choice? Nothing will change."

"Alright... I can go, I guess. If you have nothing to add..."

"Just don't tell anybody."

"I won't."

MJ left the kitchen, and seconds later he left the house. Bin stayed there alone. He had a schedule for that day but until then he had free time. He could sleep, for example, so that's what he decided to do.

'-'

"Wake up..."

"Bin-aaah..."

"Don't make me jump on you, hit you, or do anything else..."

Someone was trying to poke Bin's cheek and dragging him by the sleeve from the bed.

"I warned you..."

The male's voice disappeared and someone slowly put his leg on one side of the bed, leaned forward, placing his hand near Bin's head. Then put another leg and hand on another side of the bed, so Moonbin's legs were now between that person's knees.

"Still don't want to wake up? I'll lie on top of you if you don't open your eyes right now..."

Bin was still sleepy, the only thing he did was let out an abrupt groan. And at this moment the person slid his hands higher to the pillow and fully lay down on Moonbin. The one who was sleeping tried to open his eyes but couldn't do it, instead of that, he hugged the person on top of him and mumbled something.

"Ummm... Binnie... you really have to wake up."

The next second he realized it was Eunwoo's voice. It meant he hugged Eunwoo. A wave of panic swept over Bin. Should he open his eyes? Should he put his hands down and release the boy from the embrace? He didn't know but could hear the fast and loud heartbeat. To be honest, Eunwoo's heartbeat could be heard too, this boy panicked no less.

Eventually, Bin opened his eyes and now both of the boys stared at each other for a whole minute.

"Can I get up now?"

"Oh, sorry, sure," said Bin as he spread his arms.

It was awkward all that time but Eunwoo came to wake Bin up and say that the latter should get ready for the schedule. As soon as the older accomplished the mission, he left the room.

What was it? Was it a dream? No... it definitely wasn't. Thought Bin and got up from the bed.

What about Eunwoo? As soon as he left the room, he was stuck in one place and was thinking about everything that's just happened.

"Are you okay there?"

The voice rose Eunwoo from his thoughts. He blinked several times as he tried to realize what was happening.

"No- I mean yeah- I'm fine," That's all that Eunwoo said in response to MJ as he went downstairs.

"I think I have to go to the doctor..."

"Why?"

"My heart feels weird. Yeah, I'll do it when I have time."

"Sure, we don't need troubles with a heart. We already have one..." Mumbled MJ.

"Sorry, I didn't hear, what did you say?"

"It's nothing."

"Okay, as you say."

Myungjun didn't respond, so Eunwoo decided to change the topic.

"Where are the rest?"

"Went to the company. Shouldn't you be there too?"

"Should I?"

"I don't know, check the chat."

That's what he did. And loud "OH SHI-" was heard while Dongmin was running to the front door, quickly grabbing his backpack on the way and literally falling out into the street.

'-'

It was almost midnight when Bin got back home from his schedule, his legs were weak, he faltered on a step, almost fell twice on the stairs but successfully reached his room anyway.

"Bin-ah, I want to ask about your friend that-"

"Not today," Interrupted Bin who plopped on his bed and fell asleep at the same second.

The next morning Bin came to the kitchen, stretching and got a little confused when he saw Eunwoo looking at him with a huge smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. You just look different today."

"Oh... it's probably because I feel less tired."

"Maybe," said Eunwoo and returned his gaze to the cup of coffee.

"Yesterday, was there something you wanted to know about my friend?"

"That... it's nothing actually." And a big smile appeared on Eunwoo's face once again.

"Hey."

"Good morning, hyung."

"Same to you, Eunwoo. Looks like you have free time, don't you want to go to check your heart now?"

"What? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Binnie. I think my heart gave me a false signal. I mean I got it wrong. It's okay."

"You sure?"

"Yes, Bin... you know I care about my health, I'm sure it was me who got it wrong."

"If you say so..."

"Anyway, I have to see Mina. It's been a while."

"You talked to her 2 days ago..."

MJ looked at Bin because he heard what the younger said although he tried to say it as quietly as possible.

"Hm?"

"I didn't say anything though."

"I think I have hearing problems..."
