Old love (ENHYPEN's Heeseung Fanficiton)

Confession

--- 8 months later ---

I listened attentively, my head lying on his chest, arms wrapped around his waist. I heard his heart beating faster than usually; he must be nervous upon showing me the finished version of the instrumental now turned into a song. His hand had also stopped stroking my back. I softly kissed his chest, but the heartbeat didn't calm down. I smiled knowingly. And then decided to only concentrate on the melody. I closed my eyes, listening to the tune, the lyrics and his heartbeat that somehow went along perfectly, drowning out the familiar surrounding of Jay's and mine living room.

As the song ended, I looked at him proudly. "It sounds even better as a full song", I said. "Really?", he asked with a nervous smile. I nodded and sat up, climbing back on his lap before cupping his cheeks. "Heeseung, you're full of surprises and I love every single one of them. Well, almost. But the best surprise you ever made me is that you're my boyfriend now. You don't need to impress me every time with something new, you yourself are already enough. Remember that, okay?", I said and this time I kissed his nose, "But I do appreciate what you do for me and if I can ever repay you in any way, do let me know because whatever I am doing it never seems enough for that. Everything you do for me is making my heart skip a beat, my eyes searching for yours to look into them lovingly and turning my mind into a beautiful mess. So yes, you can believe me when I say that I loved this song. Because you make me feel special, loved, seen in all my struggles. But just your presence alone or when you hold my hand, hug me, kiss me – it gives me more comfort than I ever would have imagined. I love you and that's not because of all the surprises you prepare for me. It's first and foremost because you are you. Heeseung, if I could ever put in words what you mean to me, I would never stop rambling. But I can't and while you show me with your continuous surprises, all I seem to be able to come up with is kissing and cuddling. I just hope it's enough."

"Well, I don't know, shall we try it out?", he smirked at me. I rolled my eyes smiling and wanted to talk back. But he stopped me with a raised finger against my lips. I raised an eyebrow confused. "You're doing way more than that though", he continued, "When you're by my side, I feel invincible. I know I have your support in anything and that makes me confident. You buy me stuff out of nowhere just because I say that I like it or crave certain food. You listen to me attentively when I am having a problem, ramble or need to get something off my chest. You're the one I go to when I need a second opinion because you always know the right words. You give me courage whenever I am nervous, but you also make me stop procrastinating when I need it. You know exactly what I need just by looking at me and will do your best to give me exactly that. Now, I am sure I don't know all of your sides yet, after only roughly 10 months, but I do know for sure that I love you." He brushed some hair strands out of my face and my heart skipped a beat. "And I do know that you're the one I want to expose my all to. You're the one I want to grow old with and grow in general and you're the one I want to get to know better and better over time. Our story might be a young one until now, but it reaches back for so long for both of us and I intend to make up for all that time, so buckle up because I won't ever let you go. I will stick with you, keep surprising you, rest in your embrace and challenge you as well as me so that our story will become a powerful one, no matter if others hear about it or not; that's not what's important for me. All I want is you by my side and for us to live and grow for, with and through each other. Forever, you hear?", he ended. I nodded astonished as he leaned forward and smiled one last time before our eyes closed and our lips met, an unspoken reaffirmation of our words this time.

"Hey, you two lovebirds", Jay complained a bit later when I had rested my head against Heeseung's chest again and both of us were dozing off, "Stop cuddling, we gotta leave now." Lazily, I opened one eye, only to jump up surprised as I looked at the clock. "Jay, we're about to be late again, why didn't you tell us earlier?", I complained as I rushed past him to get my bag. "I thought I might let you drive", he smirked. I hit him jokingly while Heeseung took the car keys out of his outstretched hand. "I'll drive", he announced.

"You were right, we will be late", Jay turned to me. "We won't, I practiced with him", I grinned proudly. "You practiced... driving...?", my roommate asked with wiggling eyebrows. I blushed and hit him again, this time a bit stronger. "Ow!", he protested laughing, "Okay, I'm sorry." "Let's go already, we shouldn't let the others wait", Heeseung intervened and opened the door for us.

"And don't forget that we have to pick up Jake and Annie too", I added. "What about Jungwon and Niki?", Jay asked. "Sunghoon", I reminded him, "And before you ask, Maya and Roxy get there on their own." "Okay, okay, I will stop asking dumb questions", my roommate sulked and I laughed, pulling him into a short side-hug. "I forgive you, little rascal", I announced, "And now let's go pick up Sunoo from the airport. He's been away for too long; I totally miss him."

A/N:

So, that's it. The end. Or something like that - Hey, the relationship only started here and who knows what Sunoo has experienced. Has he gotten over his crush? Well, I leave all that to you, dear reader. And I hope you enjoyed the story so far...
