Best Friend's Brother (Seungjin)

Chapter 7:Blossoming Affection

As they continued their leisurely walk through the park, Seungmin couldn't help but feel a growing sense of comfort and excitement. The atmosphere seemed charged with something different—the anticipation of what could become a beautiful beginning. He found himself stealing glances at Hyunjin, admiring how the setting sun's rays painted a golden halo around him, making him even more mesmerizing.

Hyunjin, on the other hand, felt a mix of nervousness and exhilaration. This hangout had turned into something much more meaningful than he had expected. He wanted to make the most of it and show Seungmin just how much he cared.

As they reached a tranquil spot by a small pond, Hyunjin had an idea. He gently tugged Seungmin's hand and led him towards a secluded bench under the shade of a willow tree. They sat down side by side, close enough to feel the warmth of each other's presence.

The moment felt intimate, almost like they were on a date—a date they had unknowingly been waiting for all this time.

Seungmin's heart fluttered as he felt their fingers intertwine naturally, like pieces of a puzzle fitting perfectly together. Hyunjin's touch sent a shiver down his spine, and he relished in the warmth of their connection.

Hyunjin leaned back, gazing at the ripples on the water's surface, but he couldn't help but steal glances at Seungmin. He wanted to memorize every detail of this moment—the way Seungmin's hair caught the sunlight, the subtle curve of his lips as he smiled, and the gentle sparkle in his eyes.

"You know, I never thought I'd see the day when we'd be sitting together like this, just the two of us," Hyunjin confessed, his voice soft and genuine.

Seungmin's heart skipped a beat, his cheeks flushing with a mix of joy and bashfulness. "Yeah, it's definitely unexpected, but I'm glad we're here."

Hyunjin turned to Seungmin, his eyes softening with affection. "Me too. I never realized how much I enjoyed spending time with you until recently."

Seungmin felt his heart race, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "You did? I mean, I always knew we were close, but I never thought..."

Hyunjin interrupted him, his smile warm and reassuring. "You never thought I'd feel the same way? Well, surprise, I do."

Seungmin's heart swelled with happiness, and he leaned in closer, their shoulders brushing lightly. "I'm glad," he said softly. "I really am."

Hyunjin reached out with his free hand, gently cupping Seungmin's cheek. Seungmin's breath caught at the tenderness in Hyunjin's touch. Hyunjin leaned in even closer, their faces inches apart. Seungmin chuckled softly, his heart fluttering as he felt Hyunjin's warm breath against his skin.

Hyunjin's eyes sparkled with affection, and he closed the small gap between them, their lips meeting in a tender, sweet kiss. It felt like a moment suspended in time, the world around them fading away as they focused on each other.

As they pulled away, both of them were smiling, their cheeks flushed with the thrill of this newfound romance. Hyunjin's hand remained cupping Seungmin's cheek, his thumb gently caressing the soft skin.

Seungmin's heart raced, his breaths coming out in soft sighs. "Hyunjin, this feels like a dream."

Hyunjin chuckled, his eyes never leaving Seungmin's. "Believe it, Seungmin. This is real, and I'm not going anywhere."

Their fingers remained intertwined as they sat there, enjoying each other's company. The atmosphere around them felt magical, and the park seemed to be a witness to the beginning of a beautiful love story.

The sun continued to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the park and illuminating their faces. Seungmin leaned his head on Hyunjin's shoulder, and they sat there, basking in the moment, feeling the world slow down just for them.
