you make it easier

hanbin looked down at his phone, the two had been in each other's company for over two hours now. he was starting to feel like he really could go to bed. hanbin looked over at the elder who seemed to be dozing off every once in a while. he gathered the elder's stuff and placed it into the small bag he had brought along with him.

 
hao felt the elder's hand wrap around his shoulder to support him from not falling over because he was truly in and out of sleep. "hyung, I think it's time you go back home and sleep" hanbin giggled tapping hao awake once more. "huh.. oh yeah, maybe" he said standing up and gathering his blanket as hanbin also stood up. hanbin wondered if he should walk the boy home since he was truly out of it. "hao hyung, would you like me to walk you home? just in case you doze off?" he offered.

 hao nodded slowly, he truly was exhausted, and talking to hanbin tonight and hearing the river flow, melted his stress away. hanbin took one of his arms and interlocked it with the elders as he guided him back down toward his apartment. hao making sure to give small instructions to guide them back. hanbin walked hao up the stairs and to his door where he then wished him goodnight and left towards his own apartment.

something in him enjoyed being able to make sure hao had gotten home safely. he enjoyed knowing the elder would sleep better after talking to him, and he enjoyed getting to know him better. he walked up the street a few blocks over to his apartment. once he settled in he laid down in bed and fixed himself to get ready to sleep. when he got the text message.

hao: I enjoyed talking with you tonight. thank u for taking care of me, sleep well hanbin-ssi.

hanbin smiled at the message sending a quick goodnight in response. he was tired himself and finally felt as if he could rest without his head going a million miles per hour. at least about work. something else kept his mind running, well someone else.

hao woke up a bit later than usual, he didn't have any classes today just practice. last night was a huge relief of stress he needed, him and hanbin talked about a lot like how hao was nervous he wasn't going to do well in korea or how hanbin needed to reassure himself that he really did have a purpose as a teacher. 

he got up out of bed grabbed his phone and checked his social media, something caught his eye while he was scrolling on Twitter. 

shanbin: I'm still figuring this life shit out, but you make it a bit easier. 

he felt a small redness grow up on his face, there couldn't be a chance that was directed at him right? but who else would he be talking about, hanbin never gave off the vibe that he had a boyfriend or girlfriend but maybe he did. hao shook his head, "there's no way, shut up" he said to himself as he liked the post. 

hanbin rolled over as he noticed his post received great attention.

he had noticed hao had liked his post, he knew who the post was about but he didn't want to accept that he even had the courage to post it knowing damn well hao probably didn't reciprocate any feeling towards him. he sighed and picked himself up off the bed as he made his way to brew some coffee. he heard a small knock on the door, he walked over and opened the door finding a small child outside of the door. a sign attached to the carrier holding the baby, "my parents don't want me, but maybe you do?". 

he could only think to himself three words.

what. the. fuck. ?
