Ordinary Confession | HoonSuk [✓]

16

"I'm coming! Seriously," I sighed at the impatient uninvited guest who had been pressing the bell almost nonstop. I walked toward the front door. I opened the door and was surprised at what greeted me there.

"Jihoonie finally opened his door," Hyunsuk hyung, who was obviously drunk, carried by Asahi waved at me. Asahi who's right beside him looked more exhausted than drunk.

"What happened?" I asked Asahi.

"I don't know. He just suddenly asked me to accompany him to drink because you're busy and he doesn't want to bother you, he said. But he got drunk first and refused to go back home. He keeps telling me that he's going to your house," Asahi said.

"Come in first," I said while opening the door wide, giving enough space for Asahi to walk inside. Asahi looked struggling helping the drunken Hyunsuk hyung to walk. Asahi sits on the couch after he lies Hyunsuk hyung down. I walked to the kitchen to get him a glass of water because he looked really tired. Asahi took the glass from my hand and drank it fast. “You’ve worked hard,”

“You know. We are already right in front of his house but he doesn’t want to go inside. He suddenly walked back down and kept saying that he wanted to go to your house. It’s- It’s really tiring. I just finished like 3 photoshoot sessions today,” Asahi said right after he finished the water. “Are you guys fighting or something?”

“We are not. We hung out at his house yesterday too. Both of us are busy these days but I still hang out with him on weekends,” I said. “Did he get into fights with someone? It’s rare to see him getting drunk like this,”

“He mentioned a name when he’s complaining earlier but I can’t remember the name. But it’s probably a girl's name,” Asahi said. “Did he get into a fight with a model? Or a client?”

“Or probably his girlfriend,” I said. Hyunsuk hyung mentions a girl's name when he’s drunk, huh? Are they breaking up or something? Is that why he didn’t ask me to accompany him to drink but asked Asahi instead. Because the reason he wanted to drink was his girlfriend. And he doesn’t want to let me know about that girl yet because I haven’t confessed to my crush?

“He.. Hyunsuk hyung has a girlfriend? You’re kidding, right?” Asahi asked.

“Why would I be kidding? Well. Hyunsuk hyung hasn't introduced that girlfriend to me yet but I did see her at his place before. And it seems like he’s going to hide it from me for the time being,” I said.

“Why?” Asahi asked.

“I accidentally like confessed to him. But I quickly said that I was practicing and told him that I have a crush. Just like what you said, he looked happy just hearing me having a crush. And he has been cheering for me to confess to that crush,” I said. “When the crush in question is him,”

“Ah..”

“He even tells me that he has someone he likes too. It's probably that girl. He said that if I get rejected, he’ll wait for a while to not hurt my feelings before he talks to me about his relationship,” I said. “I have no chance from the start, Sahi-ya,”

“And you’re okay with that?” Asahi asked.

“I’m not. But I’m pretending to be okay,” I said. “I probably just need to tell him that I already confessed to my crush for him not to hide anything about his relationship from me. It’s a bit frustrating, you know?”

“Or you should just confess to him for real,” Asahi said.

“And change our relationship?” I asked. “I don’t want that,”

“Your relationship might change. But probably to a better one?” Asahi said.

“I’ve told you. He has a girlfriend,” I said.

“But he hasn't told you about it. He hasn't officially introduced her to anyone yet. You might still have a chance,” Asahi said.

“I don’t think so,”

“Try it. Try to be honest to him. You'll regret it if it’s too late,” Asahi said. He took out his phone. “Jaehyuk is here. Bye. Take care. Thanks for the water,”

I walked Asahi out and closed the door. I turned to Hyunsuk who’s still sleeping peacefully on my couch. I squatted down in front of the couch. Staring at his sleeping face. I wonder if his fight with that girl is that bad till he needs to drink out like this. I gently caressed his hair. Not to wake him up. He looked tired. I need to suggest him to take a break from work for a while.

“Water,” I heard Hyunsuk hyung mumble.

“Water? I’ll get you. Wait a minute,” I said. I walked to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water. “Here. Get up first,”

Hyunsuk hyung changed his position from lying down to sitting up on the couch. He took the glass from my hand and drank the water. After he finished he opened his eyes and stared at me for a while. Like trying to process what just happened.

“Oh. You got drunk when you’re drinking out with Asahi and when Asahi brought you to your place, you whined and wanted to come here. And here you are. At my place,” I said. I wonder if he can hear and understand what I just said well because he doesn’t look like he’s totally sobered yet.

“Jihoonie?” Hyunsuk hyung asked.

“Yes. It’s your Jihoonie,” I said while smiling widely. Hyunsuk hyung is just so cute right now.

“My Jihoonie,” he said happily. I giggled at his act. Seriously, so cute. Suddenly, Hyunsuk hyung cupped my face. Forcing me to look directly at his face. He didn’t say anything but just stared at me quietly for a while. I swallowed my saliva at the intense stare. “My Jihoonie is very good looking. So handsome,”

I can feel my heart beating at a very fast pace. It’s not like he never praised me like that. But have I stayed calm whenever he praised me? No. My heart will thump out loud and fast that I don’t know what I should do. Even right now. Just looking at his face, looking only at me like this. I bit my lower lips to get my emotions in control. There’s too many things that I’m currently feeling. Too overwhelming.

“No. No. My Jihoonie. You can’t bite your pretty lips like that. It will bleed,” Hyunsuk hyung  said in a baby tone while caressing my lips. It’s really unfair for him to do this while drunk. I slowly part my lips. To show him that I’m not biting my lips anymore. Hyunsuk hyung gently rubbed my bottom lips with his thumb and smiled. “There. There. Good boy. And good boy deserves a reward,”

Huh? A reward? Before I could process his words, I could feel Hyunsuk hyung’s lips on mine. Wait a minute? Did Hyunsuk hyung just kiss me? Hyunsuk hyung places his lips on mine for a while. Just keep them in touch, softly. After a few seconds, he pulled out and smiled at me.

“I just kissed my Jihoonie,”

“Hyung,”

“Hm?”

“Can I ask for more?” I asked.

“For what?”

“My reward,”

Hyunsuk hyung just smiled at me. He’s still drunk, right? If he’s in his right mind, there’s no way he ever acted like this. Or is it because he had a fight with his girlfriend?

“Jihoonie want me to kiss Jihoonie again? Come here,” Hyunsuk hyung pulled me and placed his lips on mine again. I didn’t waste any time but to kiss him back. I don’t know. I just don’t care anymore. I just wanted to kiss him more.
