Until I found you 🕰 ( Hyunlix + Woosan )

Dinner

Wooyoung and San were in the car, driving to the home of the older man. They both were very excited but nervous .. it did seem odd that the said home was somewhat out of the city. For all they know he could be a psychopath or a murderer but regardless they drove to the elders home.
They pulled up to the street where the house would be, the neighborhood was modern, all houses looking somewhat alike, lawns trimmed to be identical. There was not an ounce of personality or character, that was until the gps stopped and the two were met with a home. Apart from the other homes It was a big Victorian two story house with flower bushes covering most of the structure, the paint was peeling off and the windows were somewhat dingy. It's almost as if the home stayed stuck in time while the rest of the neighborhood modernized.

The two got out and made their way up the steps which were creaking, San made a mental note to ask the older man if he needed help fixing things up.
They stood at the front door and rang the doorbell waiting for an answer. Without much time the door swung open with the older gentleman standing there, he had an apron on and an oven mit on one hand and his face had what looked like flour on his cheek. "Hi boys ! Glad to see you made it ! Come in !" The older man was so ecstatic to see the two, he motioned the boys to come and make themselves comfortable. As the two lovers entered the home they noticed how elegant it was, it truly was a blast from the past. From the drapes to the wallpaper everything seemed to be vintage, they could tell it hasn't been touched because of the accumulated dust on most of the decor.
It was beautiful nevertheless.

Hyunjin led the boys to the dining room where there was a long wooden table with lots of chairs, this table could seat 10 people but yet it didn't. The older man had a whole buffet style set up with lots of food, "this must have taken him hours" Wooyoung thought.

Hyunjin noticed how silent the boys were most likely because they were astonished by the old interior "can I both get you something to drink ?" He smiled.
"Water will be fine Mr. Hwang! Thank you" San smiled back.
Wooyoung offered his help but the older declined "you two are guests in my home and I will not have my guests serving themselves" he laughed.

As Hyunjin made his way into the kitchen the two boys finally exchanged words "it's beautiful isn't it ?" Wooyoung mentioned. San was so entranced by the home he didn't even hear his boyfriend.
"Sannie ?" The boy finally heard his lover.
"Did you say something Babe ?" Wooyoung shook his head and laughed.
Hyunjin entered the dining room with a large tray that had a water pitcher and some glasses filled with ice. The two boys thought the older man was the absolute cutest with the way he was so attentive and how extra he was.

They indulged themselves with a good meal and had even deeper conversation then yesterday, this time it wasn't just casual questions but it was more personal ones. The three were mid laugh after San joked about something, Wooyoung had so many questions for the older but he was also hesitant to ask, he wanted to more know about the man .. Hyunjin got up eagerly "so who wants dessert ?" He quickly made his way to the kitchen and in a flash he returned.
He came out with a plate full of Brownies. The two boys were so full but they couldn't deny that the chocolate delicacy looked so delicious not to eat.
They both grabbed one and engulfed it, Wooyoung and San's eyes widened "oh my gosh Mr. Hwang these are the most amazing things I've ever tasted" one of the boys exclaimed.

Hyunjin smiled "I'm glad you like them !"
The three were enjoying the brownies as they continued to talk, Wooyoung was pretty silent throughout the whole conversation as the burning questions crossed his mind over and over again.
Hyunjin noticed the boy was deep in thought and couldn't help but ask "Wooyoung are you alright my dear boy ?" The younger nodded his head and gave a slight smile "yes sir, I'm alright ... I just ... was thinking"
Like word vomit Wooyoung began to speak "Mr. Hwang ... do you live by yourself ?"

Hyunjin smiled "yes I do, I have a son who stops by sometimes but for the most part it's always been just me."  Wooyoung regretted asking the question immediately he felt so bad for pushing the issue.
"I - I am terribly sorry Mr. Hwang I didn't me- "
the boy was cut off by the older man immediately "my boy do not apologize, I suppose it does seem a little odd for me to be in this huge house alone but this home has such deep meaning to me, I can't let it go." He replied.

Wooyoung wanted to know more, love seemed like second nature to the older gentleman yet he never mentioned it. San noticed the silence and quickly intervened "Mr. Hwang we appreciate you so much for inviting us, we owe you a lot for what you did for our relationship.. i don't know what I would do without Wooyoung" as he held his boyfriends hand.

Hyunjin couldn't help but smile at the two "love is a very precious thing, especially your first love .. "
the elder sighed. Unlike Wooyoung, San wasn't afraid to ask questions, "your wife must be blessed to have a lovely man like you Sir"

Hyunjin snapped his neck up with a blank look ... as if he saw a ghost. Wooyoung quickly noticed the older man's demeanor change and could tell this was a touchy subject for the man.
"I am so sorry Mr. Hwang for my boyfriends lack of boundaries" as he shot daggers at San who felt ashamed immediately.

Hyunjin adjusted in his seat .. "No ... do not apologize, well  I was married so I guess I know a thing or two" he sighed.
Wooyoung smiled "We're you two first loves as well ?"

Hyunjin's face became a blank slate as the hurt in his eyes became apparent "we were married for 12 years ... but she wasn't my first love, in fact I don't think I ever was in love with her ..."

The two boys looked at each other as the conversation seemed to get tense Hyunjin began to speak again "I had a first love but fate didn't work in our favor"

"I'm sorry to hear that .. Mr. Hwang, she must have been amazing"

Hyunjin sighed "HE was amazing"
