"AISH! Will you stop talking about him for a minute, you're hanging out with mee!" Hyunjin tries to be sulky.

"boy i-"

------+------

"ok, as long as you are alive, don't ever be sulky with me again." Seungmin deadpanned 
"huh" Hyunjin said
"what you did just now?"
"what, this?" Hyunjin said, and he started to act cute by poking his cheeks and making aegyo sounds. 
"yea, no, i'm leaving" Seungmin said as he turned around. 
Hyunjin was quick to grab his hand. "WAIT!"
Seungmin was turned around to face Hyunjin and they stared into each other's eyes.  

into. each. other's. eyes.

------+------

"Wow, you..um...y-you have....pretty eyes." Hyunjin stuttered.
"uh.....thanks. you, um, y-you actually have p-pretty eyes too." Seungmin tried hard not to stutter, but he failed.

"DARN IT! WHY DID I STUTTER!"

But he wasn't lying. Hyunjin having pretty eyes was an understatement.

There was an awkward, but comfortable silence between the two as they kept staring at each other. Hyunjin looked at Seungmin as if his eyes held the universe inside, and he didn't know why. He never felt like this for anyone. Not even his longest running relationship. 

Seungmin, on the other hand, didn't know if he should leave or if he should stay with Hyunjin. He was always so sure about what we wanted, to go to school, to become a singer, to make his parents proud, and to have a great future. Now looking into Hyunjin's eyes, he wasn't sure if Hyunjin was going to change that for him. 

Then out of nowhere, they feel themselves lean in, as if gravity was pulling them to kiss. They leaned in close enough that they felt each other's breath on their lips. But, things don't always turn out the way we want them to.

A huge crash of lightning booms in the sky and scares them both away. When they look up, tiny raindrops land on their faces and their hair, turning into a heavy downpour. 

"Oh no! My uniform is going to get soaked!" Seungmin exclaims

Hyunjin takes off his jacket and raises over both of their heads. "Well, then let's get you home." With that, they dash into the street, laughing and Seungmin shouting directions to his house. 

------+------

After what felt like eternity, they both arrive in front of Seungmin's house, partially succeeding in staying dry. They were both heaving for air and looking at the lights of his house that were on, signaling his mom was home. 

"Hey, um..." Seungmin started. "Thanks for today, I really appreciated it. No one's ever done something like that for me."
"Oh, well, you deserve it." Hyunjin winked
Seungmin rolled his eyes and laughs. "Oh yeah! About the project, I was hoping tha-"
Hyunjin cut him off by giving him his phone. Seungmin looked at him confused. 
"Well, if I don't have your number, we can't talk about it. And I, uh, have to go soon." Hyunjin laughed, and so did Seungmin.

Seungmin took the phone, typed his number in, and gave it back to Hyunjin. "Text me anytime"

"Ok, well, good night Seungmin"
"Good night Hyunjin."

Hyunjin was about to leave, but Seungmin pulled him back and they were face to face again.

"wait"

 Seungmin wrapped his hand around Hyunjin's neck, slowly pulled him closer and planted a kiss on his cheek. 

"It's for the kiss you never gave me." Seungmin said softly and ran up the stairs, entering his house.

Hyunjin's arms got weak, dropping his jacket. He stood there malfunctioning for a second, rain pouring over him. But he touched the cheek Seungmin kissed him on and smiled. He looked up at Seungmin's house one more time and left, with only one thought on his mind.

"Oh, you'll get it Seungmin, don't you worry."

helloo! sorry for the long wait on this one! let me know what you think about the chapter!
