amore mio || wy • sn

chapter 19

a couple of days ago when seonghwa had gone and told hongjoong the plan, bringing wooyoung along secretly was a part of it.

a day before their trip to the aquarium seonghwa told wooyoung everything, about sans sister, the pain he went through, and the plan.

wooyoung was hesitant to agree but after their encounter in the elevator he realized he might not have hated san after all

and the fact that the next day wooyoung found a stuffed penguin, and a lollipop on his desk didn't make it a hard decision

san was trying his best and wooyoung hated to admit it but maybe he didn't hate san. maybe he liked him. maybe he was in love with him.

love? wooyoung still isn't familiar with this feeling, but he was willing to give san a chance to show him. what he felt when he was around san wasn't hatred. wasn't annoyance, wasn't sadness. it was different, when he was with san he felt confused, he felt happy, and he felt pain. but regardless, even if wooyoung had felt an immense amount of pain throughout his life, surprisingly having san ignoring him hurt the most

so to be honest, wooyoung wasn't sure what he exactly felt toward san, but he knew he wanted him by his side. he needed him by his side

there they are- face to face- while san stared at the boy in front of him with wonder and confusion,

wooyoung couldn't handle being stared at with such love for so long, he would've broken down into tears. wooyoung hugged san trying his best to trap his tears and yet one of them still managed to escape

san immediately noticed it

he pulled out of wooyoungs grasp and looked at wooyoung as his nose got red and eyes started welling up with tears, letting a couple escape every time.

san looked at wooyoung with worry and wiped his tears while his eyes still conveyed his emotions perfectly. love. san was hopelessly and helplessly in love with wooyoung

sans parents were still present during this and when san remembered he turned around holding wooyoungs hand, which caught him off guard and gently squeezed his hand

"m-mom, dad..." he stuttered avoiding eye contact again

his parents looked at their son and then at wooyoung, was it that they'd never seen how happy haeun was with her girlfriend until they went to her wedding? if haeun had been with her girlfriend that day and she showed them how happy she actually was, would they have replied differently?

why was it that seeing their son with a guy was so heartbreaking to them, but seeing their son happy was so heartwarming?

his mom stared at him as san waited anxiously for them to say something, then his mother started sobbing again

but this time it wasn't cause she was disappointed in san, she was disappointed in herself remembering how they treated haeun

san's dad walked over towards san, san reacted by pushing wooyoung behind him in case something happened

but it didn't

san found himself in the embrace of his father and before he realized it tears were already rolling down his cheeks

his mother soon joined in

wooyoung went back a couple of steps and eventually went back to seonghwa and hongjoong, who brought him here, and looked at how happy san and his family seemed

after they had talked it out, warmed up, and apologized to san, they sat back down

"can you call wooyoung...?" his mother asked to which san smiled wholeheartedly and stood up, running over to wooyoung

as he ran over to his crush, san had remembered that he had actually confessed to wooyoung already,

just before he was about to call wooyoung, he stopped in front of him, not saying a thing.

seonghwa and hongjoong took that as their sign to leave, so they went back to the car.

wooyoung stared at san as san stared back, everything was quiet but it wasn't awkward

san was about to speak but wooyoung beat him to it, "so..." he said trying to look away

"yeah..."

"um i-i heard about what happened with your sister... i'm sorry, i told you my past but never asked for yours..."

"no- no! it's not your fault i mean nobody really knows except seonghwa... he was my only friend back then," san explained

another moment of silence between them... but this time san broke it

"wooyoung," he said trying to maintain eye contact

"san," wooyoung stared back as his cheeks turned a slight shade of red

"you heard it...right? all of it..." san said breaking eye contact

"which part exactly," wooyoung teased

san caught on to wooyoungs trick, "y-yah you know!," sans cheeks were completely stained red at this point

wooyoung let out a chuckle before continuing with his act, "i mean you said alot, was there a certain part you were referring to? tell me and i'll tell you if i did or if i didnt," wooyoung beamed

san missed this, the sight of wooyoung smiling, the sound of his laugh, the scent of lavender that was always lingering in the air whenever he was around

san took a while to answer wooyoung but eventually said it, "i...i love you..." san whispered but wooyoung heard it clearly, yet it wasn't enough for wooyoung

"what was that?"

"i love you..." san said again slightly louder but still a whisper

"come again?"

"i love you! i love you jung wooyoung," san finally let out

wooyoung was taken back a bit, even though he already heard him say it, it still caught him off guard.

wooyoung smiled, a smile so wide it had made sans heart skip a beat

wooyoung hugged san tightly, and when he let go he told san, "i think i might love you too san... i've never been in love... im not familiar with love, im sorry if it'll take me time i-"

"no! no don't be sorry, you're perfect wooyoung, you're perfect the way you are, just stay like this, let's go slow, i'll show you my love and when, or if your certain about your feeling i'll be here,"

wooyoung stared at san, 'how did i end up with him? how is it that i was lucky enough to meet san?' he thought to himself
