synopsis: a late night study session turns into a drinking session, and drunk soonyoung has a loose tongue

-----

"You say I got us into this, but you didn't stop it from happening, either."

Jeonghan glances at you with a small collection of beer bottles in his arms, and you roll your eyes in response, picking up the empty fallen over takeout boxes and shoving them into a garbage bag.

"I didn't think they'd drink themselves to hell - we still have three pages of review left."

Seungcheol grumbles something in his drunken sleep, pulling the pillow in his hands closer to his chest, knocking over his pile of review sheets in the process, scattering them across the floor.

You sigh and begin to gather the pages, the rustling of the pages disrupting Soonyoung's blissful sleep on the living room floor.

"(F/N)-ah shhh," he slurs, then giggles, "I love you ♡".

He shoots you a cheeky grin, eyes still shut, and you scrunch your nose, laughing quietly.

"I love you too, Soonyoung-ah. Now go back to sleep."

"Don't lie," he whines, "You love Jeonghan-hyung!"

You noticeably stiffen at the statement, the tips of your ears filling with heat as you feel Jeonghan's burning gaze settle on your back.

After a long pause you quietly murmur, "Just sleep, Soonyoung."

The light snores that emit from his sleeping figure signals that he's finally out cold, and you sigh, staring down in your lap.

The soft thud of socks on hardwood floor approaches you quietly, and you feel a heavy presence beside you, instilling an uneasy feeling upon you.

"Was that... true?" He asks softly, crossing his legs, your knees slightly touching. You scoot away from the contact, pulling your knees to your chest.

"It wouldn't matter, true or not."

You keep your gaze fixated on the tops of your knees, and out of the corner of your eye, you could see Jeonghan's intense gaze focused intently on your face.

Jeonghan scoffs and shakes his head, using a hand to turn your face upward and towards him.

"That's not your decision to make, (F/N). It does matter. To me. So please - is it true? You love me?"

The desperation in both his voice and expression sets off an aching feeling that spreads throughout your body, leading up to a buildup of burning tears in your eyes.

With one blink they spill over, leaving trails of wetness that lead from your eyes to your cheeks.

"I tried my best to not feel anything for you, but guess what? I failed. I..." You take a deep breath, a soft smile crossing your expression, "I love you, Yoon Jeonghan."

In an attempt to keep your dignity you turn away and cover your face with the sleeves of your sweater, only to have him move to the space in front of you, pulling your hands away.

He gently wipes away the tears streaming down your face, and sighs softly.

"Is being in love with me that bad?"

"Jeonghan, we're friends. I don't want to ruin that."

"I understand where you're coming from, but by making that decision, you're ruining what we could be."

Jeonghan takes your trembling hand in his steady one, and squeezes it gently.

"I love you too, (F/N). I want you to take a chance on us."

His gaze drops to your interlocked fingers, and a quiet 'please?' leaves his lips.

And in that moment, all you could think about was wiping that saddened expression off of Jeonghan's face.

Your lips meet his, the taste of his vanilla chapstick and tears intermingling together. He smiles against you, whispers a soft 'thank you', and pulls you closer.

The next morning, you wake up between Jeonghan and the couch, a blanket draped over the both of you.

His lips are noticeably swollen and the tight hold he has on your waist is enough reassurance that last night was real.

"Like what you see?" He sleepily smiles, yawning.

You shrug, eliciting a semi-loud 'hey!' from his lips, disrupting the sleeping boys around you.

Soonyoung is the first to wake, and he groggily rubs his eyes, glancing you and Jeonghan over curiously.

"You two - since when?"

"Since you so kindly exposed me last night."

"...Oh."
