This picture has me in tears every time I see it.

Two days had passed. And Hongjoong has yet to talk to Seonghwa.

Every chance he got Seonghwa acted as if he weren't there. Walking past him. Hongjoong hadn't heard Seonghwa say one word in almost three days now.

At this point. He was surprised he hadn't left the house but to go to work. Coming home pretty much the time he got off. Seonghwa hadn't actually left the house. And it was slightly concerning.

He stayed in his room all day. Only leaving long enough to use the bathroom. Hongjoong honestly wasn't quite sure if he had eaten, or bathed. Which wasn't just slightly concerning. It was concerning.

So concerning Hongjoong decided to suck it up, and knock on Seonghwa's door.

The anxiety of it settled in once Infront of the bedroom. His hands were shaking. It wasn't that hard. Just two knocks. Just two. Get it over it.

Two knocks.

No one answered. A minute went by.

Two more knocks.

"What do you need?"
Seonghwa spoke from the inside of the room.

"I need to talk to you."
Hongjoong responded.

It fell silent again. Until the door opened. And extremely tired looking Seonghwa opened the door.

"I don't know if I want you to talk to me."
Seonghwa said.

"I know. But I just want to have a conversation."

"Hmm? You want to talk now? I didn't think you were interested in speaking to me."
Seonghwa's arms were crossed over his chest. He seemed less mad than expected. But he certainly wasn't happy.

At least there was some emotion in his tired face.

"Yeah. I deserved that. And I'm sorry. But can I try to explain a little? It won't fix it. But maybe it'll help? Please?"

Seonghwa quietly stared at him, before stepping away from the doorway.

"Fine. Explain."
Seonghwa sound very calm. Hongjoong on the other hand, was not. At all actually. He felt like he was gonna throw up. This was his only chance. And if he fucked it up-

Seonghwa placed himself down onto his bed. His eyes darting from Hongjoong to the mattress in front of him. Asking for Hongjoong to sit. So he did. He sat across from Seonghwa on the bed. As they silently stared at each other.

"Hurry up. I'm tired. Even as nice as it would be, I don't have energy to just sit here and stare at you."
Seonghwa said.

Hongjoong inhaled.
"I have very strong feelings for you. But, I wasn't ready to admit them. To myself, or to you. The easiest way out was to lie. And of course I noticed the body language, I noticed every small change in your behavior. And I guess that change kind of scares me. Because than I realized I really did have feelings for you."
Hongjoong tried his best to explain himself.
