Hongjoong's pov
I took them all to a nearby park that we sometimes go to and we all sat down and they stared at me waiting for an answer.
"Jongho was my childhood best friend we met when he was 5 and I was 8 we met at a park he came with his parents and I came with my older brother jin he had fell down while he slid down the side and he sat there trying so hard not to cry I ran over and hugged him hoping that he wouldn't cry but he ended up crying on my shoulder and even though I was a kid I comforted him I told him that he'd be okay and it was just a scratch he pulled away sniffling he was so adorable even as a child I wanted to just kiss him on his cute cheeks but I didn't I grabbed his leg and I rubbed his knee I even put a band aid on it that I had in my pocket after I did I kissed it and he smiled at me.
He looked me in my eye and said "I wike you!" That was first time I blushed but I brushed it off and told him he didn't know what he was talking about he then explained to me that he did and why he did. Ever since that day jongho and I would meet in that same park everyday my hyung always took me and his appa always took him after a while our families met and we even went to each other houses on the weekends. When I was 9 and jongho was 7 I started to feel weird around Jongho I felt safe when I was with him I got a weird feeling in my stomach at that time I didn't know that I started to like jongho. Jongho was also my first kiss we were at the park one day and we were talking he suddenly stopped and stared at me I blushed and asked him what he was looking at and he said nothing but he leaned over and gave me a peck on my lips I was so shocked that I screamed and asked him why he did that he only smiled.
When I was 12 and he was 10 I asked my hyung why I was feeeling the way I was feeling around jongho and he told me I liked jongho like how our eomma likes appa I was so surprised but I smiled happy with the answer so I went to jongho the next day and told him "I like you jongie!" He smiled and told me it back and I told him what my hyung told me he laughed at me and pecked me on my cheek and said "me to hyungie!" Then we made a promise to each other...he promised me that whatever happens he'll marry me in the future and I didn't know what he meant so I smiled and said "of course your the only one for me" the week after that I found out that he left he never came and said goodbye at the age of 12 I felt what heartbreak felt like...
I tried to hate him but I couldn't I had always been in love with him...so seeing him today just made me feel so many things and brought up all those old memories and feeling of him I couldn't take it so I ran.." I then finished with a sigh they all looked at me shocked I didn't blame them it was a lot.
"Wow that was so romantic!" San said breaking the silence with his squeal seonghwa chuckled and I giggled fiddling with my fingers "I-I guess" I said looking down "why don't you just talk to him hyung? And maybe he can explain why he left without telling you?" Yeosang said I nodded with a blush "I-I know but I'm nervous we literally haven't seen each other in 11 years and he looks so handsome now! What if he has a girlfriend?" I said with a pout they all laugh "I highly doubt that" seonghwa says.
We all stay at the park and talk for the next 3 hours and we even played a few rounds of tag.
When we finished we started walking out the park as we were walking we saw three males stand in front of us "oh yunho, mingi!" Yeosang said with a smile they smile back "hey hyung! You guys just came from the park?" Mingi asked and yeosang nodded "yup! Where are you guys headed?" Yeosang asked "we're going to show jongho to our game cafe!" Yunho said enthusiastically we all chuckled at how cute he looked.
I then make direct eye contact with jongho it makes me blush just looking at him I still get this shy? I can tell he changed after all these years he looks like he works out a lot..I was so into my thoughts I didn't hear my name being called until I was tapped on my shoulder I get startled "huh?" I said and they all laugh "we're going to go with them do you want to go to hyung?" Wooyoung asked I slowly nod and he cheers.
We all then make our way to the place and I felt my hand being held and I was pulled back I blushed "j-jongho" I stuttered he sighs "hyungie I'm really sorry I left all those years ago and never told you about it...I-I couldn't bring myself to see your face as I told you I was leaving you, I just couldn't" he sad frowning I sigh "I-It's okay jongie I mean I was heartbroken but I forgave you I just- I really missed you jongie like so much I cried everyday I just wanted you to be there with me when I entered middle school and high school but you weren't.." I said frowning and looked down he lifted my chin with his thumb.
I blushed staring at him "I'm very sorry hyung but I won't leave you again....ever I'm here to stay and if you'll allow me to I'd like you to be mines I never forgot the promise we made I intend to keep it" he said smirking I blush and hit his chest lightly "and here I thought you changed" I said pouting he chuckles and then pecks my lips then he smiles like he did all those years ago making me blush madly "j-jongie!" I said huffing then I sighed and gripped his shirt pulling him into a long kiss I can tell he was shocked because for a few seconds he didn't kiss back so I pulled away with a beet red face and tried to walk off.
He pulled me back and kissed me which I immediately responded to and we kissed for a whole minute before pulling away for air.
"So worth waiting for" he said against my lips I giggle and nod he pulled me into a hug and I lay my head on his firm chest it was so comfortable "jongie?" I said and he hummed "do you work out?" I asked "yeah I do I like it" he replied and I blushed burying my face in his chest he chuckles "hyung has a muscle kink!" San and wooyoung yelled at the same time I gasp with a blush and pull away from jongho who laughed I groan and run over to them chasing them they ran but I still chased them down and a bear like male followed behind us with a fond smile on his face.
The end 🥺
