{ one-shot inspired by the moment which happened during 'trace' concert 10 04 22 ✿ }

hyunsuk has asahi's heart

hyunsuk held the material in his hands a bit tighter, probably by now rimpling their faces printed on it. his fingers could sense the letters linked together, creating a brief yet meaningful word 'trace' proudly adorning the upper part of the towel.

he promised himself he won't cry today, he wanted to remain strong and be the one to console this time, not to crouch down on the floor, whimpering like a baby he probably was and will forever be. he listened to the mellow voices of the members, how they softly shared their thoughts and feelings, how they let their hearts speak out, opening in front of thousands inside the hall and watching the concert online. his sincere smile of adoration given to everyone was bound to soon transform into a slight wince as the tears glided down his cheeks.

until now he somehow handled his overwhelming emotions well. what's more, upon beholding that his dongsaengs got teary, with a myriad of stars and cobalt blue twinkles in their eyes, hyunsuk cooed over how lovable and fairytale-like his boys are, his pride bloomed. they weren't only ordinary boys, teenagers, young adults anymore. they were the stars that brightened up the darkest abyss, the light to never diminish, the comforting whisper under the oceanic horizon. they were his everything and more.

he loved admiring them with no distraction, especially not the distraction that would distinguish itself by the droplets of hot liquid, muddling the view in front of him. yet the heart wants what it wants and the moment his dearest asahi spoke, the subtle touch, the sweet melody of his voice moved hyunsuk's most hidden and unknown till this moment weaknesses and sensitivity.

"mama, papa!"

hyunsuk's hands tremble, he can barely keep a grip on the microphone. the way this precious boy of his smiles, waves to the camera, as if his parents were actually just in front and it would take only an extension of a hand to reach them. but no, his parents, his close ones were miles away, now watching their son from somewhere distant, in the house asahi has grown up, has spent the hardest and most beautiful time of his, the place where he found out what is love, devotion, what the heartbreak may taste like and how being an adult may mean many more responsibilities than he could have ever expected. this was where he said his goodbye in order to depart to a different realm, unknown people, and surroundings he had never been to before.

"I am on stage right now. thank you always and please keep supporting, thank you."

some of the members laughed happily, teumes applauded, moved by the words the boy wove so diligently and tenderly. asahi bowed graciously, still shaking his delicate hand of a prince he was.

at one moment the crowd fell silent, everything around stood still. the camera which was initially zoomed only on the boy, now showed how suddenly another figure invaded the space, securely coating the other in his arms. not long after, asahi's arm was drenched in hyunsuk's tears, which have been caged up and now finally released.

"my asahi..." he spluttered in between the sobs and soft hiccups, "do you even know how much we love you..."

asahi hid his face in the other's neck, too ashamed of the rosy hue he got coloured with.

suddenly hyunsuk felt someone's weight on his back and a pair of toned arms made him feel at home. he looked up and despite the blurry sight he spotted how yedam approached asahi from behind and hugged him tightly, how jaehyuk followed to fill the space on the other side.

behind hyunsuk, there was junghwan, soon accompanied by jihoon, yoshinori holding hands with doyoung soon joined too. there was still a place for haruto, and jeongwoo found himself nestling up inside the crowd. mashiho and junkyu were the last puzzle pieces and once they approached the huddled group, fastening themselves in the right spots to feel the warmth and confiding tranquillity, the boys squeezed to the inside, even more, just to feel that they are all together.

they weren't twelve hearts anymore. they were one. after so many years together their hearts turned into one, beating at the same pace, feeling and experiencing things in the same way, reacting to everything around like one.

hyunsuk knew he will get teased later on a lot because of how much of a cry baby he was. but it didn't matter to him even the tiniest. because all the teasing would be by his members. the ones that he owned his whole life.
