Until I found you 🕰 ( Hyunlix + Woosan )

Part 2

As the boy sat there crying for what seemed like hours, "are you alright young man ?" Is all he heard.

Wooyoung looked up to see an older gentleman maybe in his late 50s staring at him with a worried look, the boy felt embarrassed "how long was he sitting here" he thought to himself. Nevertheless he wiped his tears and answered "I'm fine sir" he gave the older man a weak smile hoping this would reassure the man everything was fine but the older gentlemen could tell it wasn't.

"May I ask why you are crying dear boy ?" The older man then got out some tissue from his coat pocket handing it to the younger.
Wooyoung took the tissue slowly and blew his nose, he wasn't really ready to talk about what had happened but he didn't want to bottle up this frustration either so he decided to confide in the older gentleman.

Wooyoung took a deep breath and continued to tell the man everything that led to this moment

"And I'm tired of living this way .. i stood up to my parents and they completely cut me off. They want him to get married and he won't even stand up to them. I never questioned his love for me ... but I just -" the boy trailed off. The older man sat there looking at the boy with no sign of reply in his face.

Wooyoung felt maybe he told him too much and the man was overwhelmed, what if he was uncomfortable with the idea of two men loving each other? While Wooyoung thought of this the man began to speak.

"Do you love him ? Young man" the older man asked
The boy was confused by the question at first because it was random. "Yes I do ... but it's clear he doesn't love me enough" the boy sighed.

The old man then proceeded to ask another question "could you see him with someone else ?" Again this line of questioning was completely random but the boy only could say "I'm not understanding, sir"
The man repositioned himself on the bench "I'm asking if you could see him with someone else ? Could you see him getting married to another or having children with someone else ? Would you be able to see that and be content ?"
The reply left the younger shocked but one thing for sure was the pit in his stomach began to form, he couldn't even imagine San with another person, having children or growing old with another the whole thought had him on the verge of vomiting.
"N-no sir I can't" is all he could get out as he began to cry once more.
The older man began to hand him more tissues "my dear boy, if the thought of seeing him with another hurts you this much why aren't you fighting to keep your love ?"
Wooyoung sniffled "S-Sir ... he won't fight for me why should I fight for him ?"
The older gentleman chuckled "so I see it's your pride ? Let me tell you something about pride young man.."
Wooyoung wiped his tears and looked at the older man.
"Love and pride don't mix, you either drop your pride for the one you love or you lose them over your pride" the older man exclaimed.
The statement alone left Wooyoung frozen... the older man proceeded to speak "if he is the one you love, you better fight for it.. or you'll lose the best thing to ever happen to you"

Wooyoung heard his name being called from a distance as he turned around to see San running with all his might. The man was heavily panting, eyes swollen and red most likely from crying.

"B-aby .. I - w-was l was looking for you all o-ver" San was panting so hard as he ran a marathon looking all over for his boyfriend. Wooyoung couldn't help but worry .. "San take a deep breath before you pass out"
The man controlled his breathing and took a deep breath "I was looking for you all over and I couldn't find you anywhere ... I was worried"
Wooyoung gave him a look "I -I'm fine Sannie, I just needed to clear my head"
He tried to hold his back his tears trying to appear tough and not bothered but in this inside he was yearning for the boy.
San didn't hesitate "Baby . I'm s-sorry ... you are right I am a coward, I'm a coward for not sticking up for you against my family. I'm sorry for letting you even think I'd consider leaving you for an arranged marriage, Wooyoung I love you ! And I don't care what anyone says anymore. I know who I want because my heart tells me every single day and that's ... you" he sighed tears filling up his eyes.

Wooyoung began to tear up as well "Sannie how are we going to do this ... your f-family will never accept us ... what what if - " the boy didn't even get to finish before San cut him off "I don't care baby ! As long as we have each other there's nothing we can't get though, we deserve to be happy and I'm the happiest when I'm with you" San grabbed the boys hands and pulled him into the tightest hug which the boy returned without hesitation. The hug lasted for minutes before they both pulled out, they stared into each others eyes and this was all they wanted.
They were so entranced with each other they didn't even notice the older man still sitting there.

San bowed immediately "I'm so so sorry sir ! I had no idea you were sitting there ! Forgive me"

The older man chuckled lightly "no need to apologize my boy, I'm glad you two were able to work it out" he was about to leave when Wooyoung intervened.
"Sannie I want you to m-meet .. oh my gosh sir I never got your name !" The young boy felt so disrespectful.
"Hyunjin.. Hwang Hyunjin"
