Our way to each other | Binwoo

And the screen went out when Eunwoo finished his message. But Bin kept staring at the screen. After a few seconds, he looked around at the guys with his watery eyes.

"I'm so thankful for this. I mean it. I appreciate every second of this record. We made a lot of good memories together and it's nice to know that some of them you keep in your memory as the most precious ones. I don't even know what to say, it feels surreal."

"You don't need to say a lot," said Eunwoo, who was sitting next to Bin on the sofa. He turned to his friend and continued. "Take this paper and when you have time, think about the happiest moment of your life and write it down. It doesn't matter whether this moment is about Astro or not, just remember the happiest."

To which Bin nodded and took the paper.

They spent the rest of the time talking, laughing, eating the cake, and drinking tea. And after several hours they cleaned up and went to their rooms to have some sleep.

"Thank you," said Bin as soon as Eunwoo and he entered their bedroom.

"We did it together. The boys chose the design of the cake and decorated everything."

"But the video... it made my eyes watery." Bin scoffed. "Can I hug you?"

"Yes, of course, no need to ask."

And Bin gave his friend the warmest and the tightest hug. Even if he tried to avoid touching Eunwoo, he didn't think about that right now, he just needed his friend close to him. Bin was so thankful so at that moment he realized that he wasn't ashamed of himself, for who he was. Maybe it happened just for a moment... did he really accept himself?

The 14th of February, 2017.

Oh, this day when couples spend more time together. Bin has always wondered how can somebody spend more time with another person if they see each other almost every day. He knew that some couples may be far away from each other and that's the day when they could sincerely enjoy themselves. But the couples who see each other every day... Anyway, he was alone today. As usual. But this time Eunwoo wasn't.

Bin seemed to be okay since his birthday but this day could ruin everything.

"Are you going somewhere with Mina today?"

"Yeah, I bought her a flower," Eunwoo quickly pointed to it. "Don't touch it."

"Hyung... did you kiss?"

Eunwoo and Rocky looked up at Sanha because both of them were shocked.

"Sanha!" Rocky said in a whisper as he touched the younger guy's elbow. "It's impolite."

"But he's my hyung."

"Umm..."

Eunwoo was interrupted by the loud "OH MY GOD". All the boys looked above, on the second floor, there was Moonbin who stumbled and missed the steps.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," said Eunwoo and then quickly got back to Sanha's question. "I don't know if it's normal, but we haven't kissed yet. On lips, I mean... But I want to do it today."

Bin wasn't in the kitchen until now, but he understood what the others were talking about. Rocky and Sanha remained silent as they watched Bin slowly pouring tea. He didn't say a word, he didn't seem sad, that's what worried two younger boys. When Bin is being like that, it doesn't mean anything good.

'-'

In the evening Bin bought chocolate and wrote a note for Eunwoo. There were three simple words... "I love you." He put it on his pillow and headed to the bathroom, expecting Eunwoo to get home much later. Although the boy came back earlier and saw the gift.

"You have a girlfriend?" Asked the older one as soon as Bin entered the room, drying his hair and walking without anything that would cover his abs.

Eunwoo gulped. He got used to seeing his friends without a shirt, he wasn't weak for men... was he? No, of course not. He has Mina, a wonderful girl, and Moonbin, he's so... NO. Eunwoo shook his head.

"So, do you have someone?"

"I answered... it's for you..."

"Excuse me?"

"I mean, don't friends do this? I saw the girls at school gifting something to each other every year."

"Yeah," Eunwoo said in a drawl with a thoughtful look. He still couldn't stop thinking about why he looked at Moonbin that way. It was weird, he had never felt that way until now. But it's probably nothing, he just admired Bin's physical and that's it. Right...?

"How's it going with Mina? You planned something for today."

"You mean the kiss?"

"Yeah," replied the younger boy abruptly and quickly looked at the towel in his hands.

"We did it." And Eunwoo pursed his lips when he broke into a smile.

"Your first kiss, huh?" Bin scoffed.

"Shut up. You didn't even get yours, did you?"

"I'm waiting for the right person." Their eyes met and the room went totally silent again.

The 25th of May, 2017.

The boys worked hard till almost the middle of May. In February, they released the new special album and continued working on another forthcoming mini-album.

Since Bin's birthday and Valentine's Day nothing has changed but the boy's mood. Those mood swings he experienced every week... it was terrible. Is it because he accepted the fact that Eunwoo would never be his boyfriend? Even the boys' birthday celebrations didn't bring real happiness to him.

About the older, he was spending more time with Mina, they tried to hide well so nobody knew about this couple. It lasted for 4 months. Till today.
