Relationship Status

Jihoon and Soonyoung have been dating for three years, yet remarkably, no one knows about their relationship. Strange, isn't it? However, it's not due to a lack of trust in their friends or a desire to keep secrets. In fact, they trust their group members deeply. Initially, their reluctance to share the news stemmed from a fear of potential reactions; they weren't sure if their friends would be accepting of their same-sex relationship.

For the first year, the uncertainty left them feeling hesitant and apprehensive about coming out. They were unsure of how their friends and family would react, and this fear held them back. Eventually, after spending more time together, building a stronger bond, and growing in confidence, they mustered up the courage needed to reveal their relationship to the others.

They decided that their love for each other was worth the risk and that being open and honest was the best decision for their future together. However, just before they could announce their relationship to everyone, someone else stole their spotlight. It turned out to be Seungcheol and Jeonghan, who had been dating for just a month and chose that exact moment to go public. Jihoon and Soonyoung, who had been eagerly anticipating their own revelation, both wanted to facepalm in exasperation as their carefully planned announcement was overshadowed.

Although it was initially challenging, the situation turned out to be positive for everyone involved, as they were able to learn about each other's reactions. Some individuals even opened up and admitted that they were not entirely straight. In celebration of this newfound honesty and acceptance, Jeonghan and Seungcheol treated everyone to a feast of high-quality meat that day.Jihoon and Soonyoung, understanding the importance of the moment, chose to let their friends have the well-deserved spotlight for now, planning to share their own stories at a later time. However, it seemed that fate had a different plan in store for them.

Following their much-anticipated comeback in the fall of that year, they had meticulously planned to share their exciting news with everyone during the celebratory dinner. However, as had happened on previous occasions, their plan was once again thwarted. This time, it was Mingyu and Wonwoo who stole the spotlight before they could make their announcement. Soonyoung felt a strong urge to express his irritation out loud, but he refrained when Jihoon gently pressed his palm in a calming gesture. Resigned to their fate, they watched as yet another opportunity slipped away from their grasp.

But Soonyoung and Jihoon both believed that the saying "third time's a charm" would hold true for them. They meticulously planned every detail of how they would surprise their friends and family on Christmas Eve. After two years of keeping their relationship a secret, they hoped that this would be the perfect moment to finally reveal their love to everyone.

Jihoon and Soonyoung were so excited that they even volunteered to plan the Christmas Eve festivities. However, their enthusiasm was cut short once again when their chance was taken away by someone else, this time by Vernon and Seungkwan. Can you believe it? Even the youngest members, the maknaes, stole the spotlight this time!!!

After offering a brief but sincere congratulation to the newly found official couple, Soonyoung excused himself, citing his drunkenness as a reason for his departure. Unbeknownst to him, Jihoon had quietly followed him back to their shared bedroom. Once inside, Jihoon locked the door behind them, ensuring privacy, and approached his boyfriend who was seated on the floor, hugging his knees tightly as if to shield himself from the world.

Jihoon crouched down in urgency, his heart racing as he found Soonyoung lying on the floor, his shoulders shaking slightly.The sight immediately filled Jihoon with concern, and the first instinct that crossed his mind was to pull his trembling boyfriend into a comforting embrace, hoping that his presence could provide some solace in this distressing moment.

Soonyoung hugged Jihoon back, sniffling quietly, and it was at that moment Jihoon realized his boyfriend had been silently crying, his shoulder slightly damp from Soonyoung's tears, but that was the last thing in his mind. Jihoon murmured sweet promises to his boyfriend, his voice soft and reassuring as he planted gentle kisses on the mop of black hair, an affectionate gesture meant to bring comfort. As he did so, his fingers traced delicate, soothing patterns on his boyfriend's back, a tender effort to ease his worries. Gradually, Soonyoung began to calm down, the tension leaving his body, and within a few minutes, he felt considerably more at ease.

Soonyoung slightly pulled back from the hug, tenderly grasping Jihoon at arm's length. His eyes, glistening with tears, locked onto his boyfriend's face, filled with emotion and love. Jihoon gently settled down between his boyfriend's legs, seeking comfort and intimacy as he nestled closer, feeling the warmth and steady heartbeat beneath him. He gently wiped away the remaining tears from Soonyoung's puffy cheeks with a swift, tender caress of his thumb, all while a soft, comforting smile slowly spread across his lips.

"Hoonie, why does it always happen to us?" Soonyoung murmured, his voice hoarse yet still carrying that familiar huskiness which, in Jihoon's eyes, only made him appear more attractive. Jihoon hummed softly, his face pressing against the steady beating heart beneath him, providing him with a comforting rhythm. His eyes then flicked to Soonyoung's, finding solace and connection in the moment. With a tender touch, his hand gently cupped the hamster’s cheek, conveying a sense of warmth and affection that transcended words.

"You know what? Who cares if we tell them or not? They'll eventually find out anyway. We don't need to plan how to tell them. We have nothing to hide," Jihoon added, his voice filled with a newfound determination while his eyes held a convincing resolve. Soonyoung, unable to find a counter argument, simply nodded in agreement. Jihoon's eyes immediately lit up with a sense of relief and triumph, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Soonyoung chuckled at the cuteness, his laughter eliciting an immediate pout from his boyfriend, who jutted his lips out in that irresistibly attractive way that always made Soonyoung's heart skip a beat. Soonyoung had never been the strongest soldier against such endearing displays, especially when it came to Jihoon. He leaned in, sweetly meeting their lips midway as Jihoon arched himself up, his body yearning for the connection. Their kiss was tender yet filled with a sweet longing that spoke volumes, conveying emotions and promises that words alone could never describe.
