The First Snow - WooSan

Chapter 21

❄️❄️❄️

*One week later*

Wooyoung jumped out of San's car as soon as the older parked the vehicle in their apartment drive way. He opened the back door to grab the groceries him and San bought on their way back from the college.
Despite the cold weather, Wooyoung had craved for ice-cream. The smaller boy had to do a lot of explanation to convince San that he won't catch a cold, before the older agreed to let the ravenette buy what he needed.

Since day one, San cared for the younger more than he did for him self. He loved him so much to the point where the only view San wanted to see in front of his opened eyes, no matter day or night, was his best friend; His one and only Wooyoung.
Since a couple of weeks, that feeling was mutual for the ravenette too. He wanted to stick around San and share every second of his time with the older boy, paying his gratitude and wanting to take care of him just the way San does for him.

But none of them manned-up to talk about it openely. To realise that both of them were heads over heels for each other; definitely more than how "best friends" do. How they have fallen in love with each other, but not seeing it.

Instead, they continued to cherish having each other in their lives, deceiving themselves saying they are just "two caring and loving best friends". But in reality, they were nothing but two oblivious idiots. Only if one of them were brave enough to confess first, so they won't have to continue being "just friends" in front of their closed ones; people who were more aware of what's going on between them than themselves. That's right! Only if one of Hongjoong, Seonghwa or Yeosang could knock some sense into their lovestruck heads.

Wooyoung was feeling the freedom to his maximum as that day was the end of his college exams for the year.
Thanks to San, who had his back for a whole two weeks straight, the younger managed to face every single paper and practical test without much concern.

Moreover, Eric and Solar didn't bother to come closer to Wooyoung as San didn't let him wonder alone inside the college premises that often. He was always there for his sweet and innocent puppy; just as San says.

It didn't mean that the bullies had given up on Wooyoung. It was simply because Eric didn't want to ruin his fake nice personality he had built just for the show of his juniors. He had recognised San to be one of his juniors and he was waiting to find out San's relationship with Wooyoung before he could continue to plot against the innocent boy with the help of his girlfriend. It was like a calm before a storm. San knew it and was ready to face anything that was about to come on their way.

After the long day, finally, Wooyoung was digging into his tub of ice-cream, sitting on the living room couch cross legged, watching his favourite k-drama when he heard the door bell ring.

"I'll get that", San sprinted out of his room and walked to the door, ruffling the younger's black locks playfully on his way.

He knew Wooyoung didn't want to get up from the little pillow nest he had made on the couch just to relax after a long time.

"Thanks Sanni", the younger chimmed.

When San opened the door, two strangers were  standing outside the doorway with interwined hands. They were two tall boys, almost the same height, one with red hair and the other one brown.

"Hi~ how can I help?", San greeted first at the smiling two young men.

"Hi! I am Jung Yunho and this is Song Mingi. We are your new neighbours of the apartment.", The brunette responded cheerfully.
