❝my youth is with you❞ yeonbin

chapter 10

Days of the scorching sun have passed, leaving five boys in the reality of pouring rain. 

Soobin was spending his free time in Taehyun's garage, Kai played video games beside him. The owner of the house and his current inhabitant were out grocery shopping. Soobin was lost in his thoughts, on his mind, Yeonjun, who seemed to ignore his friends these past few days. Well, that's what Soobin thought at least.

When Yeonjun came back home after that date with Bumjune, he didn't want to elaborate on the topic, leaving all of Soobin's questions about these two's current relationship unanswered. When Kai described how Yeonjun tried to cover his shy smile after seeing off Bumjune, Soobin's doubts, and worries doubled. Though, he tried to pretend nothing happened. 

"Stop biting your nails, it's annoying," Kai commented. As a result, Soobin put down his hand. He didn't even realize he was doing it. His anxiety was so high, that it made him think how he didn't like his feelings for Yeonjun affecting his mood. 

The doors suddenly opened wide, and Yeonjun stood on the doorstep soaking wet. Behind him, the view of pouring rain. He stepped carefully into the garage, leaving water on the floor. Soobin looked at him, and a single chuckle left his mouth. He tried to cover his smirk with a hand. Kai was already laughing out loud at his friend, who was not so happy, about being drenched. 

"Shut it," Yeonjun commented, a grimace appeared on his face, as he began to take off his shoes. Soobin stood up.

He went to the cabinet, where the towels were stored, and gave it to Yeonjun.

"Thanks," he used it immediately to dry his hair. In the meantime, Soobin took his hoodie off, revealing a white T-shirt underneath.

"Take off your wet shirt." He handed him the cloth.

Yeonjun froze for a second but did everything he was asked obediently. Soobin faced the other way when Yeonjun started changing. It's not like it was the first time, he saw his naked torso, it was just different.

Kai observed the two closely, trying not to let his smirk turn into a grin when he noticed a slightly rosy color on both of his friends' faces.

The rain was pouring heavily on them and their plastic bags. They have just left the shop, too immersed in conversation to notice the sudden change of weather. Taehyun unzipped his sweatshirt and took it off immediately. He pulled Beomgyu closer to his body, putting his arm around him, so it was easier to hold the cloth over their heads. 

Suddenly Beomgyu missed a step, almost tripping, but Taehyun caught him on time. 

"T-thank you," he answered, his voice shaking. Taehyun chuckled.

"Let's run home before we catch a cold." 

Their run was a bit clumsy, their shoulders kept on brushing, and their feet tangling with one another. However, their laughs filled the silence between the sound of raindrops falling to the ground. The cars passing by would slow down to prevent splashing the water on boys, but seconds later they'd accidentally jump into a puddle, in the end getting themselves wet.

"Hyun!" Beomgyu exclaimed, and his smile got even bigger. 

The rain got heavier, and their breathing weaker. Taehyun stopped for a moment and dragged them to the nearest bus stop with a roof. There were no people, and the traffic seemed small that day. 

The sweatshirt became heavy after soaking in the rain. It sheltered them well, but because they played a lot with water, they were wet anyway. Beomgyu's hair was messy, his cheeks bright red, Taehyun cackled. He reached his hand out to properly fix the wet strands glued to Beomgyu's forehead.
