* 67 *

*VERY LIGHT* SMUT WARNING ;)

Hongjoong closed the bathroom door behind him and turned to face an angry Seonghwa. The pretty boy looks like he wants to punch the elder in the throat for this dare, which Hongjoong completely understands. He just really wants to clear the air between the two, and it seems as though this is the only way to get Seonghwa to finally talk to him.

"7 Minutes in Heaven?!? Really?" Seonghwa scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Look," Hongjoong began, "I just really wanted to talk to you. I know you've been avoiding me."

"Yeah, it's almost like that's what people do when they're mad at someone," Seonghwa snapped back. 

"Seonghwa, please," Hongjoong began, "I know that you're mad at me, and rightfully so. I just want some time to explain myself and also apologize to you."

Seonghwa uncrossed his arms and sighed, "Okay, fine. Go ahead."

Hongjoong started to explain, "The other day, when we were talking outside of the school, I really did have plans. I wasn't saying no to you for no reason. I was supposed to help San with a project. He can literally vouch for me."

There was a pause.

"Then how come when Soobin wanted to go with me instead, all of a sudden you were free? Hm?" Seonghwa asked, eyebrows raised, "You even said after the fact that you'd go with me if it meant I wouldn't go with Soobin! What the hell was that about?"

"I-I.." Hongjoong trailed off, "I was jealous."

"Jealous?" Seonghwa asked in disbelief.

The room started spinning. Hongjoong's body tilted a little to one side, so he propped his hand up on the wall to not completely fall over.

"Yes," Hongjoong said, trying to keep his balance, "I didn't want that stupid jock boy to take you on a date. I wanted to take you myself because I like you."

Hongjoong's own words shocked himself a bit. He almost didn't realize what he was saying until it came out of his mouth. His fingers touched his own lips as he started to understand what he just said. His vision got blurry again. His arms feel like jello, and the arm that was propping him up against the wall gave in.

Seonghwa grabbed Hongjoong's shoulders before he could fall over.

"Jeez," Hwa mumbled, "You're drunker than I thought."

With that, Seonghwa closed the toilet seat and motioned for Hongjoong to sit down. The boy did so, and Seonghwa sat perpendicular to him, on the edge of the bathtub. Seonghwa is starting to wonder how much of Hongjoong's words are true, considering his tipsy state. He knows that people say drunk words are sober thoughts, but he doesn't know if that statement holds true.

"So," Seonghwa continued the conversation, "You think that you like me?"

Hongjoong nodded, looking up at Seonghwa with glossy, drunk eyes. He's fidgeting with his hands, trying to think of all that he had wanted to say to him. Seonghwa bit his lip and thought for a moment before speaking.

"You sure have a funny way of showing it then," Seonghwa admitted, "I mean, I was starting to think that I bothered you constantly, or even that you hated me. You constantly don't respond to my messages, or if you do it's just one-word answers. Is that how you show affection?"

Seonghwa wasn't using an accusatory tone anymore. He was genuinely curious as to what Hongjoong's mindset is, and why he acts the way he does. It's a bit difficult for Seonghwa to wrap his head around. If Hongjoong actually likes him, why did he always act like Seonghwa didn't matter to him at all? To Seonghwa, Hongjoong acted like he never actually gave a shit about him or his feelings.
