My Boy/Best Friend-Minsung

Part 10

"Geez you thought I was trying to come on to you right out there in the open? That's what you think of me?" Lee Know asked as he scooted closer to Han on the couch. "What? No! I mean yes I did think that but..." Han stuttered and gulped as Lee Know got closer to him. Lee Know put his arm on the back of the couch behind Han and leaned closer. Han suddenly stood up as he said flustered "We are getting off topic! How are we supposed to deal with all the obstacles that we would face if we dated?" "I don't know, why don't we just try it out and if it doesn't work then we go back to being friends, no harm, no foul." Lee Know replied. "Yeah because it's so easy to do that. This isn't like a car that you drive around for a bit and return if you don't like it, it's a relationship. Not only are we friends but we work together too!" Han said. "We are both adults, I think we could handle being civil and professional if our relationship didn't work out. Besides, why are you so convinced it won't work?" Lee Know said with sad eyes. Han sat back down next to Lee Know and said "I'm sorry, I am not trying to be negative I am just trying to be practical. Like let's say we give it a trial run, that works while we are here but what about when we go back to the real world? Do we tell everyone that we are in trial relationship? Do we tell the members?" "I don't see why we would have to, our private lives our none of their business." Lee Know said. Han looked at him and Lee Know knew what the look meant. "Yeah I know. The members are like our family and they are nosey as hell so they would sniff it out in an instant but why don't we just wait for them to figure it out or ask? We can just try to do this and deal with the consequences as they come. I am ok with that if you are." Lee Know said turning to Han. Han took a deep breath and said "Ok."

"You and I have known each other for so long, how are we supposed to do this? Usually people that are just meeting, go on dates to get to know one another and take things slow, but we don't have to do that since we already know everything about each other." Han said. "Are you saying we should take things fast?" Lee Know asked putting his arm behind Han on the couch and leaning in again. Han gulped and scooted away saying nervously "No, no... that is not what I meant..." Lee Know laughed as he said "I'm just messing with you. Come on, you are overthinking it, not much will change between us. We will still spend a lot of time together like we usually do, the only difference is now when I feel the urge to hold your hand or kiss you, then I will." "Oh... ok... uh maybe you should warn me first though so I can emotionally prepare." Han said nervously. "Ok. I'm going to kiss you now." Lee Know said smiling as he leaned in. Han's heart started racing and he held his breath as Lee Know stopped inches away from his face. "A warning like that?" Lee Know asked smirking still close to Han's face. "Nope. Never mind. Don't ever say it ahead of time again, I almost had a heart attack." Han said dramatically looking up and holding his chest. Just as he let his guard down, Lee Know grasped his chin lightly turning his face back and kissed him sweetly. "See it's better when I don't announce it." Lee Know said chuckling and standing up after their kiss. Han's heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest but in a good way. 'So this is what it is supposed to be like?' Han thought to himself as he blushed. Later that night they were tired and getting ready to go to sleep. Han came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth and looked down the hall to see Lee Know's door open. Lee Know was sitting on his bed and looked up making eye contact with Han. Han froze just looking at Lee Know for a moment so Lee Know called out "Did you want to come in?" "No! I mean I just... I wanted to say goodnight so... goodnight." Han said nervously stumbling over his words. He then practically ran to his own room. Lee Know chuckled to himself thinking how cute Han looked when he was flustered.

They rented a canoe and paddled out to the middle of the lake. They both sat there with their life vests on and fishing gear. "We don't have to fish. We could just enjoy being out here in nature." Lee Know said. "Oh thank God because I hate fishing." Han said as he put down the fishing pole with a sigh of relief. "I thought I made fishing fun?" Lee Know asked teasing. "I misspoke yesterday, I meant to say you make it bearable." Han said. Lee Know laughed and then Han said "There's something I have been thinking about... Are you ok with me jumping into this with you, having just broken up with Ji-Hye a couple days ago?" "What? Like am I worried that I am just a rebound?" Lee Know asked. "Well yeah... do you feel like that?" Han asked. "I'm not worried about it. Because even if I was just a rebound to you at first, I guarantee I could make you want to stick around." Lee Know said as he winked. "How can you go around joking like that so shamelessly?" Han said feeling his cheeks begin to get hot. "Who said I'm joking?" Lee Know said looking Han up and down and smiling mischievously. Han sighed as he asked "Are you always going to make it this hard?" "I sure hope so." Lee Know said curling his lips in and raising his eyebrows. Hans face went pale and he pretended like he was going to jump off the boat as he said "Oh. My. God. You pervert! I'm leaving, my innocent ears don't need to hear such things!" Lee Know started busting out laughing like full on loud, belly laughing. "I was kidding!! I swear! Don't jump overboard!" Lee Know said tears of laughter flowing down his face.
