Last Memorià | Sunsun

Chapter XXVIII

Sunoo's POV

I listened to Sunghoon's explanation about his relationship with the book, specifically, its author. At first, I was worried, saying it concerned him and his first love. But then as the story went on, I felt bad for Sunghoon. Having to face trauma at such a young age, I couldn't imagine experiencing the pain he must've felt.

He then mentioned me, saying such good things about me. How I made him feel love again. Sunghoon faced me with a serious look on his face and held my hands, saying he'd risk everything to be with me. Then he confessed.

I am in euphoria. Everything's coming into place, the pieces are fitting together. Sunghoon woke up as himself, everyone are now closer, and Sunghoon was asking me to be his boyfriend. There was only one way to answer his question.

I kissed him.

I put my lips on him, not too much force but enough to feel each other's warmth. I felt the heavy feeling leave my body and I can also see from him that he was reciprocating the feeling. Any doubts that I had, the worry I carried for so long, were taken away with just a simple contact with the lips of this man. Both of us basked in the golden light shining on us and enjoyed the moment.

"Let's make it official Hoonie."

Sunghoon's POV

I was discharged from the hospital and today is the day I'm going back to attending school. The seven of us agreed to meet up at a nearby café as a sort of "celebration" for me going back to school. I was the first one there and it was still early so the shop wasn't filled much with customers.

I decided to order a drink and went on to grab a seat. I scrolled on social media for a while until my eyes were covered with such petite hands. The owner of the hands spoke, "Guess who it is~" I giggled before answering, "Are these hands owned by a cutie and my new boyfriend?"

My eyes weren't covered anymore and revealed a blushing Sunoo. He was fidgeting with the chair, "I still can't believe we're an actual thing." I laughed again at his bashfulness, this is why I call him cutie. I leaned closer to his ears, "Want me to prove it to everyone by being the one who initiates the kiss?" I could see his ears turning bright red and he pushed me away lightly to make space between us.

"All right you two love birds, give some respect to the single people." Jungwon and the rest came into the café at our table. My friends patted me in the back. Heeseung even whispered, "Proud of you man." I couldn't help but smile at the comment. I saw Sunoo was getting teased by his friends and everyone was filled with laughter at the sight.

We were on our way to the campus, Sunoo and I were at the very back. I took this chance to intertwine our hands. Sunoo looked at me but didn't break our hands. I just smiled at him, "No one can see us, I'll let go when we're at the campus." He clasped onto my hand with some tightness and he held his head down. Cute.

We arrived at the entrance and as promised I let go of Sunoo. Our friends are still ahead of us so Sunoo and I walked at the back again. People were staring again, subtle murmuring was heard again. A group of girls shouted, "Sunghoon! I love you please date me!" I ignored them as usual but I looked at Sunoo, worried about his feelings.

This time he intertwined our hands. He flashed a look at the group of girls, showed to them our holding hands, and left with a smug look on his face afterward. I keep on falling for this man, gosh.

He tiptoed to get to my ear and whispered,

"I'll proudly show off to others my boyfriend so everyone knows we're a thing."
