ANGOSTURA; keshi (1:13)

"Do you wanna maybe, go up to the apartment with me? I can make us both food. It's okay if you don't want to it's just to thank you for sending me ho-"

"I'd love to join you pretty."

Hyunjin couldn't prevent that goofy smile that spread across his lips every single time he looked at Seungmin. What more when Seungmin literally invited him over. He would trade anything to spend more time with his puppy. And now that opportunity was right under his nose, you better believe mans was going to gobble that shit up.

"Stop smiling like that you idiot."
Seungmin scrunched his eyes at Hyunjin's antics. He bumped his shoulder with Hyunjin's, or at least planned to, wanting to make Hyunjin feel some type of pain for making such a stupid face. Hyunjin moved away when he saw what was coming, making Seungmin miss him completely and fall forward. Normally in this situation, Hyunjin wouldn't intervene and just let that person fall. Gravity he says. Karma for even trying to hit him. But that person wasn't a random, that person was Seungmin. His dear pretty puppy.
So Hyunjin extended both his arms and sprung into actions, catching Seungmin before he was even close to hitting the ground.
Seungmin yelped at the situation. Unsure if he was more anxious because he could have just fallen and hurt his beautiful face or because Hyunjin's face was so close to his.
He scrambled to get out of Hyunjin's grip, prying the blonde boys long fingers off his waist. Hyunjin however, was enjoying this a bit too much for Seungmin's liking.

"Stop laughing you're not funny! And let me go!"
Hyunjin had helped Seungmin to stand upright again, but that didn't mean he was going to let Seungmin leave his embrace.

"No you're so cuddly, like a tiny teddy bear." Hyunjin pulled Seungmin even closer to himself, the warmth of both their bodies filling both boys with a sense of undeniable comfort. Seungmin, despite his previous resistance, gave in and just let his body sink into Hyunjin's, resting his face on the blondes chest.

"Alright enough I'm hungry."
Ah, there we go, Seungmin is back. The sassy and bold one. He pushed himself off of Hyunjin and led the way into his shared apartment complex, Hyunjin following right behind like a puppy. Huh, how ironic.

"Look I don't wanna be mean. But this place looks like a dumpster took a dump in another dumpster." Hyunjin made a disgusted face when he entered the apartment. It wasn't his first time here, but he never really noticed how horrid it was the first time. Now that he was able to take his time and look at the apartment from one edge to the other, he wasn't impressed. Dirty clothes strewn everywhere, undone dishes rotting in the sink, the cabinets hanging open and left over food lying on the tabletops.

"Your parents never taught you manners? You literally just walked in here. What the hell do you expect from 4 just graduated males?"

Hyunjin shrugged his shoulders. If he was being honest, he did NOT expect the apartment belonging to the graduates to look this gross. Even his own room, which was in a warehouse by the way, was nicer and neater. So much neater.

"You can take a shower first, I'll prepare some food and probably tidy the place up abit."
Seungmin offered to Hyunjin. He knew it had been a long night for the both of them, and a warm shower would do nothing but help comfort them. So he offered to let Hyunjin shower in his room first.

"What? No! You shower first, I'll prepare food and you can eat immediately after your shower."
Hyunjin protested. Seungmin's stomach had been grumbling since an hour ago, it sounded as if it would erupt if Seungmin wasn't fed anytime soon.

What was this? A courtesy campaign? Why were both of them suddenly so selfless? Both boys wouldn't back down. They were insisting and whining on who should shower first.

"Okay enough listen to the intelligent Seungmin. Why don't we BOTH shower. I'll go to Chan's room, you can shower in my room."  Seungmin offered, coming to an agreement. Hyunjin finally nodded, side eyeing Seungmin. Hyunjin followed Seungmin down the hallway to locate the washrooms.

"Is that fucker having a solo concert in there? It's been almost an hour."
Seungmin said to him and his fellow imaginary friends as he washed the rotting dishes since who knows when ago.

"Why? You miss me?"

Seungmin peered over his shoulder when a sudden booming voice echoed through his ears. His eyes widened to saucer-like proportions, disbelief and astonishment etched across his features as he took in the view his eyes were met with. A sharp inhale caught in his throat, a gasp escaping his lips as his body registered the unexpected presence standing behind him.
His heart seemed to beat at a frantic pace, its rhythm a chaotic symphony that resonated in his ears. His thoughts stumbled over one another, unable to form a coherent sentence as his brain grappled with the reality unfolding before him. Finally he settled on screaming out four words.

"WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?"

Hyunjin was standing there in the kitchen, with just a towel around his waist. His dripping wet blonde hair slicked back away from his face. He took a few steps closer to Seungmin before stopping right next to the brunette who was by the sink.

"You forgot to pass me some after you led me to the washroom. And you're asking me where my clothes are? Where are your pants?"

A lot of things to unpack here. Firstly, yes, Seungmin did forget to fish out some clothes to lend Hyunjin. And secondly, Seungmin was a creature of habit. Every time he was home, he would wear just a shirt and boxers. His three other friends were so used to it they barely noticed Seungmin's obscenely exposed thighs. Hyunjin however .. it was all he could look at.

While Hyunjin was staring at Seungmin's legs, Seungmin's eyes weren't unoccupied either. In fact, they were very occupied. His vision roamed around the other boys body.

'So this is what they call sleeper build.'

Seungmin let his gaze trace the contours of Hyunjin's naked torso that wasn't hidden by the wet towel. Every curve, every line seemed to hold a story of its own. His eyes lingered on the gentle rise and fall of the chest, as he moved his gaze downwards, towards Hyunjin's abs and waist.

A subtle gasp escaped Seungmin's lips as his pupils dilated, fixating on the unexpected glint of metal nestled in Hyunjin's belly button. A double navel piercing to be exact. Seungmin's brows furrowed in surprise, a mixture of curiosity and astonishment dancing across his features. It was as if a hidden secret had been unveiled, a piece of Hyunjin's identity Seungmin had never before glimpsed.
A thousand questions formed in Seungmin's mind, and his lips parted as if to speak, but the words remained caught in his throat. His fingers itched with the desire to reach out, to touch the piercing as if to confirm its reality.

He looked up, meeting Hyunjin's gaze.

"That piercing suits you so well."
