the sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow through the window of chan's living room. the room was filled with the comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee, and the sound of soft music played in the background. chan and minho sat side by side on the couch, their legs stretched out, their bodies relaxed. but tonight, they were about to embark on a conversation that would change everything.

chan took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest. he had been harboring a secret crush on minho for what felt like an eternity. he couldn't bear the weight of it any longer, and tonight, he had decided to take a leap of faith and reveal his feelings. minho, on the other hand, had been grappling with his own emotions, unsure of how to navigate the uncharted territory of his attraction towards chan.

as the silence lingered between them, chan finally mustered the courage to break it. "we need to talk about it, right?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

minho turned to face him, his eyes filled with curiosity. "yeah we definitely do. specifically what?"

chan took a deep breath, his hands nervously fidgeting in his lap. "well, it's about... us," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "lately, i've been feeling something more than just friendship towards you. i've been struggling with these feelings, and i can't keep them hidden any longer."

minho's eyes widened, his heart racing in sync with chan's. he had never expected this revelation, yet deep down, he couldn't deny the fluttering in his own chest. "chan, i.. i don't know what to say," he stammered, his voice filled with a mix of surprise and vulnerability.

chan looked into minho's eyes, searching for any sign of reciprocation. "i understand if you don't feel the same way," he said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "i just needed to be honest with you, to let you know how i truly feel."

minho heart ached at the thought of hurting chan, but he couldn't deny the truth any longer. "chan, I've been feeling the same way, are you stupid?" he confessed, his voice barely audible. "i've been struggling with these emotions, too. i never thought... i never thought you could feel the same."

a wave of relief washed over chan, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "you... you feel the same?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of hope and disbelief.

minho nodded, a shy smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "yeah, chan. i've been falling for you, too."

tears of joy streamed down chan's face as he reached out to hold minho's hand. Their their fingers intertwined, their connection solidifying in that moment. "i'm so glad we can finally be honest with each other," chan whispered, his voice filled with a newfound sense of happiness.

minho squeezed chan's hand gently, his heart overflowing with a mix of emotions. "me too, chan. i've been longing for this honesty, this connection. i want to explore this... us, together."

aa the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the room into a gentle twilight, chan and minho sat on the couch, their hearts entwined, their unspoken desires finally brought to light.

in that moment, they knew that their friendship had blossomed into something deeper, something beautiful.

and as they leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender kiss, they embarked on a journey of love, trust, and the discovery of a love that had always been there, just waiting to be acknowledged.

"so, boyfriend?"

minho nodded, giggling as chan leant in for another kiss.

the sun shone brightly through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room as chan woke up. he stretched his arms and yawned, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him. it had been a whirlwind of emotions since he and minho had confessed their feelings for each other the previous night.

as chan sat up in bed, memories of their confession flooded his mind. he couldn't help but smile at the memory. He had always admired minho's kindness, intelligence, and sense of humor. now, they were embarking on a new chapter of their lives together, as boyfriends. but as the reality of their confession settled in, chan couldn't help but wonder about the aftermath.

he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. chan knew that their friends and families would be supportive, but he couldn't help but worry about how their confession would affect their social circle.

as chan made his way downstairs, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. he found minho in the kitchen, wearing a smile that mirrored his own. they exchanged a knowing glance, silently acknowledging the new chapter they had embarked upon.

"morning," chan said, wrapping his arms around minho from behind.

"good morning," minho replied, turning around to face him. "how did you sleep?"

"like a baby," chan chuckled, leaning in for a quick kiss. "i can't believe this is real."

minho's eyes sparkled with affection. "me neither. but it is, and i couldn't be happier."

they spent the morning sipping coffee and discussing their plans for the day.

as the day progressed, the two busied themselves with cleaning. They cleaned the house, while atmosphere was filled with love and comfort, and chan felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

as the evening wore on, they shared stories, laughter, and even a few tears of joy. it was a night they would never forget, a celebration of love.

as chan looked around at the apartment, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the aftermath of their confession. it had a world of possibilities. chan knew that their journey as boyfriends was just beginning, and he couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.

with a renewed sense of hope and excitement, chan leaned in to kiss minho, knowing that their love story was just getting started.
