"hongjoong just called me..." jongho said softly, looking over at yeosang, who sat with his legs resting across the younger's lap, the two having been watching a movie.

"hm? he did?"

"yeah..."

"answer... i'll go grab us some more snacks while you do."

jongho nodded, calling the older back, yeosang padding off to the kitchen to get the two some snacks. the younger watched the boy with a small smile on his face, but that was quickly erased when he heard the crying boy on the other end of the phone.

"j-jjong?"

"hey... hyung, what's wrong?"

"remember what i told you? a-about me liking seonghwa?"

"yeah... yeah, what happened? did you tell him?"

"i-i did... i-i was drunk a-and i screamed it out at him. i was so sick of it, jongie..."

"what did he say?"

"h-he apologized. god, why can't i ever do anything right, jongho..."

"stop it... you needed to tell him eventually. w-why are you calling me anyways?"

"i-i just... how's yeosang?"

"hongjoong..."

"how is he? seonghwa really needs him, i think... h-he's just... i don't know how to put it, but he's not the same seonghwa i know."

"he's been pretty good, actually... d-do you want to talk to him?"

"sure..."

"hey, sangie?" jongho called out, getting up and walking over to the kitchen.

he was met with a teary-eyed yeosang, who seemed to be holding everything in.

"sangie... hey... what's wrong?"

"n-nothing... d-don't worry about me."

yeosang quickly brushed the boy off and made his exit, then jongho let a thick sigh escape his lips.

"he's not as good as you thought, is he?" hongjoong assumed.

"i guess not... can i call you later? i want to check on him really quick..."

"yeah... sure. let me know how he is."

jongho let out a hum before the two said their goodbyes, then the younger went to the door of the guest room, where he heard yeosang's breathy sobs.

"yeosangie? can i come in?"

"n-no..."

"too bad... i think you need a hug, hm?"

jongho entered the room with open arms, sitting down on the bed beside the older who quickly took the offer. yeosang broke down completely in jongho's safe embrace, part of him afraid of the butterflies that lingered in his stomach at the affection of the younger.

"sang?"

"hm?"

"i wish i could make everything feel better for you... you don't deserve to feel this pain."

"j-jongho..."

"i'm sorry i can't do anything more than this..."

"t-this is all i need... d-don't think otherwise, please..."

jongho let out a soft hum, gently kissing the boy's forehead as he rubbed the boy's back comfortingly. yeosang relaxed into the boy's arms, feeling content in that moment. he was aware that what he was feeling was wrong, but he couldn't exactly pinpoint what that feeling was.

"i'll always be here for you, yeah?"

yeosang just nodded, sniffling.

"you've always been there for me... it's the least i can do."

"t-thank you," yeosang whispered.

jongho cupped the boy's cheeks gently, wiping away the stray tears that fell down them. yeosang froze slightly, staring into the younger's eyes and watching him carefully.

"ya... stop staring like that," jongho chuckled. "i don't want to do something we'll both regret..."

yet yeosang still stared, mesmerized by jongho's every move. jongho chewed his lip a bit, trying to avoid giving in, before finally realizing he couldn't fight it any longer.

"you know what... i don't know if i will regret this."

jongho carefully leaned in, pressing his soft lips to yeosang's, his hands still cupping the boy's cheeks. it took a moment for yeosang to react, but as soon as he realized what was happening, he allowed himself to melt into jongho's touch, the two's lips now moving in sync.

it was everything yeosang needed in that moment, and more than he ever could've imagined.
