[ 22 ]
Yeonjun sat in jungkook's bed, thinking of ways to get rid of his boredom.
It was very late in the evening. Earlier jungkook had called a doctor to sure there were no serious injuries. Luckily he's feeling better now.
He felt bad for ditching soobin on the day of their project and he tried talking to him. But looking at his phone screen for more than two seconds made him very dizzy so he gave up.
So now he doesn't know what to do. He can't use his phone, he can't work, he can't even get out of bed to do anything.
Yeonjun was thinking back to his unlucky day when he heard a knock on the door and jungkook entered the room.
"you have a guest" yeonjun saw a tall head towering over jungkook from behind.
Jungkook moved inside giving soobin space to do the same.
It was awkwardly silent for a while, soobin and yeonjun staring at each other before jungkook coughed "I'll leave you two alone, let me know if you need anything"
Yeonjun nervously laughed as he saw soobin stare at him with an unreadable expression.
He thought soobin was mad at him for skipping today but was shocked to hear his next words.
"who the fuck did this to you"
Oh soobin was mad. But not at yeonjun. But at whoever is the reason for the bandages on yeonjun's face.
He couldn't contain his anger when he saw yeonjun. How dare someone ruin his pretty face.
"soobin, calm down" yeonjun noticed soobin's state and tried to get up to calm soobin.
Hearing yeonjun's wince, soobin dashed towards the bed to help him sit up properly.
"are you okay?"
"I'm fine" even in this state yeonjun managed to pass him a smile "I'm sorry about today I was going to-"
"oh god stop worrying about that it's not a big deal. Look at you. I would've beaten you up myself if you showed up to school like this"
Yeonjun chuckled at soobin's words.
Soobin smiled before speaking up again "besides I managed to get us an A"
"you're lying"
"nope"
"Mrs. Kim would never do that"
"that's what I said"
"that's amazing soobin I'm surprised you were able to do that"
"hey what's that supposed to mean?" Yeonjun just shrugged before giggling a little.
"yeonjun I went to your house earlier" soobin pasued before continuing "I don't want to force any answers out of you but I want you to know I'm here for you"
Yeonjun sighed. In such a small amount of time, soobin was able to gain his trust.
He's not afraid of sharing anymore. He knows soobin will stay another way.
"I had turned 9 the day it happened" yeonjun started speaking "It was a normal day. My dad had just brought my birthday cake and we were supposed to have a normal family dinner
Until a bunch of people wearing masks and carrying all these weapons barged into the house and started shouting.
We were all confused but mostly scared. This was obviously about to end in very wrong way and I was not ready to face it.
They were killed, mercilessly stabbed and shot to death a million times right in front of my eyes. And I couldn't do anything at all.
I vaguely remember them saying something like they got the wrong house and I'm pretty sure that was true because what could my parents have done to piss someone off this bad"
He laughed bitterly "The police faked an investigation for a week maximum. Then the case was completely ignored without taking it to a proper court because apparently it had no actual witnesses and no one wanted to believe a child as if the crime scene itself wasn't convincing enough" yeonjun stopped talking for a while.
"To make it even worse they left me there, alive so that I live my life with carrying the burden of my parents dying in front of me"
In the silence, only yeonjun's light sniffles were heard. Soobin would've never thought that this was how yeonjun's parents died.
He tried to process everything as he blinked away his own tears. "You're not responsible for anything that happened yeonjun. You should know that. And you should also know that you deserve so much more than what this world gives you
If I could I'd make sure no one even dares to look at you because you're too pretty for anyone's ugly ass eyes. And I want to tell you so bad that..." soobin paused before the words could slip right out of his mouth.
Was it the right time? How would yeonjun react?
Soobin took a deep breath. If he's going to spend the rest of his life worrying about the consequences, what's the point of living.
"that I love you so much but I don't have the courage. Because you deserve a lot more than the amount of love I have to offer"
Yeonjun froze, his eyes brimmed with tears that he tried to blink away. No one had ever said such beautiful words to him.
He stared at soobin. The man in front of him looked breathtaking as he waited for yeonjun's answer.
"you mean it?"
"No I just wanted to give a speech"
But yeonjun was not fazed by the answer. Soobin noticed this and sighed.
"yeonjun I love you" he turned his head towards the other "I love you so fucking much"
"I..." yeonjun let out a shaky breath "I love you too, I love everything about you"
Soobin widened his eyes as yeonjun continued "i know the love I have for you is nothing compared to the feelings you've been keeping.
But I want you to that you're more than enough soobin. And you're everything I can ask for, everything I'll ever need."
This time soobin was the one with tears in his eyes. He processed what yeonjun had just said.
He had expected to be rejected within seconds but yeonjun's response shocked him.
He immediately cupped yeonjun's face and smashed his lips onto the other's.
Yeonjun leaned back at the sudden action with wide eyes. He froze, unable to react.
All of a sudden soobin pulled away "sorry I shouldn't have done that without your per-"
He was cut off when he felt yeonjun's lips on his own and hands on the sides of his face.
His hands automatically made their way to yeonjun's waist, pulling him even closer.
The kiss lasted for a while before they pulled away and rested their foreheads against each other.
"I love you" soobin breathed out.
Yeonjun giggled at the sudden statement "you've already said that"
"and I'll say it another million times"
The two stayed like that for a little while, finding comfort in each other's mere presence.
It all felt too good to be true. It felt like a dream. And if it was a dream, they wish they would never wake up.
