Very Unlikely (Seongjoong)

~8~

The two were awoken by the sound of loud knocking. Seonghwa fluttered his eyes open, hearing Hongjoong breath in sharply as he woke. The realization that the two were currently sleeping, literally tangled, together, hit both of them. Seemingly at the same time.

"Seonghwa. Open the door. I forgot my key"
Jongho's voice sounded from the hallway.

Hongjoong pushed himself up. Now straddling Seonghwa's hips. The two looked at one another wide eyed at the sudden position. Hongjoong scrambled off. Aplogizing quietly.

Seonghwa stood, walking to the door, and allowing Jongho in the room.

"Hey Hw- Hongjoong?"
Jongho's eyes darted from Hongjoong back to Seonghwa. Crossing his arms over his chest in a questioning manner.

"What did you do to him?"
Jongho asked Hongjoong. His presence almost threatening, making Hongjoong shrink in front of him.

"What- nothing? Jongho. Would you stop."
Seonghwa spoke sleepily.

"I'm- I'm gonna go. See you later Hwa!"
Hongjoong smiled, quickly walking out of the room.

Once the door was shut, Seonghwa spun to Jongho. Smacking him in his head.
"What in the actual fuck is wrong with you."

Jongho laughed.
"I was mostly joking. But I also don't entirely trust him. I don't want you getting hurt.-" Jongho said, pulling Seonghwa into a hug "-because I love youuuu~" Jongho held his words.

"I love you too. But I can handle myself."
Seonghwa explained. Which he wasn't wrong. He was confident he could. Plus, he trusted Hongjoong.

"I know you can, Hwa. But I worry about you."

Seonghwa nodded.

The rest of Hongjoong's day he felt giddy. He wanted to spend more time with Seonghwa.

He was beginning to fall for the pink haired boy.

He felt like he was starting to develop feelings for him.

He didn't want to to. He was scared of getting hurt. Of hurting Seonghwa. He needs to push his feelings away. But they were so, so hard to.

Sitting in all his classes, he was only thinking of the sweet pink haired boy who showed him so much understanding just the night prior. He couldn't shake the thoughts of Seonghwa.

Just Seonghwa.

For once, it was just about the person. He didn't feel like he owed Seonghwa his body. He didn't feel the same pressure he would feel with everyone else.

Seonghwa felt different in his mind. But he didn't have reason as to why.

Was it simply because Seonghwa seemed to understand him more than others in his life had.

Was he finally going to feel less lonely.

Was he actually worthy of that happiness though?
