Lonely Nights 《Hyunlix》

{Painter Boy}

◇

Hyunjin was in his art studio, an empty canvas was infront of him and his head was surprisingly empty for ideas. He sat on a stool, drinking his used-to-be-hot coffee and stared at the canvas. His blank mind frustrated him, so he left the studio to find inspiration. He grabbed his phone and set an alarm. If i dont find inspiration in an hour, I'll give up on painting for the rest of the month.

He walked back to the apartment complex he lived in, which only took 5 minutes, and went inside his apartment, greeted by a happy squeal and small arms wrapping around his body "You're finally out of that studio bro!" His little brother squealed in happiness again, as Hyunjin sighed while hugging him back "Sorry I've been trapping myself in the studio so much Sungie. I'll try to come here more." A satisfied hum escaped Jisung's mouth as he hid his face in Hyunjin's chest "You better. I want to introduce you to my friend sometime. I think you'd like him" Hyunjin looked down at the boy, and a smug smirk was planted on his face. The brunette lifted an eyebrow "You trying to set me up with your friend? Sorry, but I'm not interested." He let go of Jisung, and walked inside the apartment more, leaving Jisung to whine behind him "Awhhh why not! You never tell me why you're single so why don't you just try out dating for once?" Jisung continued to whine a Hyunjin, and the taller groaned. "Please be quiet. I can hear myself lose the will to live." Hyunjin turned around and headed for the door. "Wait don't leave! Atleast stay for a little bit more!" Jisung stood there yelling out at Hyunjin as the boy left. "Sorry but I'm going to head out. I'll be back soon." He waves at the boy without looking behind him, before closing the door. A small sigh emitted from his lips, as he left for the roof top.

Once he opened the door to the roof, he saw a blonde sitting at the edge of the building. He walked closer and assumed the boy was going to jump, so he stood next to him. The blonde looked up at him and he looked back "You planning to jump or something...?" The blonde looked a bit shocked at the answer, but Hyunjin could care less about how he felt. "No, I just like the adrenaline of sitting at the edge. Are you?" Hyunjin shrugged "Nah, I just need inspiration for something. I just thought that maybe I could get inspiration here." He looked around the city, trying to find anything that strikes as interesting, and... he found nothing. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he sat next to the blonde.

"May I ask why you're here?" He looked at the shorter. Maybe he could give me inspiration.

There was a small silence "I wanted to distract myself from... myself." The words sounded interesting, poetic, even. "I can't handle my own thoughts, I guess. Usually I come here when I need some distraction." Hyunjin hummed "I see. Is it distracting you enough?"

"Nope." A broken chuckle left the blonde's lips. And for some reason, it stabbed Hyunjin's heart slightly. "I had a headache before you came. Doing this doesn't distract me enough."

Hyunjin internally frowned "Do you think I can do anything to distract you...?"

"If you have something that could occupy me for a really long time, then sure." Hyunjin looked at the city again, lost in his thought of what could help this sad blonde. And suddenly a thought appeared in his head. Him. From what the brunette sees, the unknown man looks very, paintable. Maybe he could help him with his art block. "Maybe you-" suddenly, a loud buzzing vibrated in Hyunjin's pocket. The timer. His mind was lost and he gave up on whatever he was going to suggest "Oh, nevermind. Good luck with yourself I guess." He stood up, and walked back inside the complex. Slightly waving at the blonde as he left.

Hyunjin entered his apartment again, and walked into Jisung's room to find him peacefully sleeping. The small noise woke up the squirrel, and he lifted his head to find his brother standing at his door frame. A small smile formed on the younger as he reached his arms out, in a grabby way "Get the fuck over here so we can cuddle. I want to make sure you don't leave before I wake up tomorrow." Jisung groggily tried to death stare him, but it turned out into a pouting face. The sad attempt caused a chuckle to emit from Hyunjin "Shall do" he walked towards the sleepy Jisung, and layed on the bed with him as his long arms wrapped around the boy's body. "Good." Jisung whispered, as he hid his face in the tallers chest again. "I love you jinnie." He mumbled in the boy's chest, as the two faded into a slumber.
