The wedding went well. Many guests came, Felix and Hyunjin got married and spent their honeymoon. They're happy.
And that's all Chris needs to know.
Felix is happy.
Happier. So, so much happier with Hyunjin.
Chris walked home. In the rain. Alone.
"Who am I kidding with, I can't even make you smile the way he does."
"Kidding with yourself, that's for sure, old man."
A figure behind him spurted out, offering Chris an umbrella.
"Seungmin."
Chris called his name, eyes filled with sadness.
"No, don't hug me. You're freaking wet. My clothes are expensive."
"Aha, of course I won't." Chris replied with a slight chuckle.
"I..I thought it would only take three days, like it's always been. Maybe it's because I've had him as my longest crush. It just hurts, Seung."
"Chris, I know it's hard, trust me. But I know that you know better than anyone else it's better to let go of something you'll never have."
'That's why I've let go of you, Chris.'
'But everytime you're like this, it feels like fate is giving me a chance.'
'Just please, stop beating, dear heart. I just wanna pull you out of my body and slap you to calm the fuck down.'
"Oh, yeah, I know. I'm letting go of him, Seungmin. It's just so hard to pretend to be fine when I see him smile so brightly whenever he's around him. I wonder, what is it in him that I don't have?"
"Being Hyunjin. That's what you don't have. You..just aren't fated to be together. Chris, you're not him. You're not anybody. To me, you're you, and it'll always be that way forever."
Seungmin replied while cupping the older's cheek and looking at him in the eye.
"Please take care of yourself, Chris. Don't abuse your body. Don't soak yourself in the rain. Seeing someone I know..someone precious to me, suffering like this..it hurts me too, Chris."
He whispered at the two last sentences. He touched his forehead with his, indicating he sympathizes with Chris.
Hearing these words, Chris couldn't help but break down in front of Seungmin. Seeing Chris like this, Seungmin couldn't help himself from kissing Chris's forehead, murmuring that everything will be fine. Time heals most, but acceptance heals all.
"Let's go to my place. It's closer from here."
Seungmin said to which Chris nodded in response.
The two walked in the rain towards an apartelle in the distance. Silence roamed in the air as they went to ride the elevator to Seungmin's apartment.
They entered Seungmin's apartment and removed their shoes and socks. Seungmin leads Chris to his room and says,
"I'll prepare a bathtub for you. Just..sit in that plastic chair, please. And don't you dare move anywhere, don't want anything to get wet."
"Okay. Thanks, Seungmin."
Chris said, earning a nod from the younger.
Chris looked around Seungmin's room and saw lots of books all over the place. Three books stacked neatly on the lamp stand, a bookshelf surrounding of Seungmin's study table, and two books on the bed.
'Seungmin must really love books.'
Seungmin, meanwhile, heads to the bathroom and prepares the tub with warm water.
'Hah, what the heck am I doing with myself..? I'm just hurting my own heart more and more.
Just this once
And it'll be done.
I don't have a chance, and I never will.'

Seungmin changed his clothes to an oversized white shirt and teal shorts reaching his thighs, a little tight on his ass.
"Thanks for the bath, Seung." Chris says while rubbing his hair with a towel, wearing a bathrobe that showed Seungmin a heavenly view of Chris's *raw* chest.
With a red flushed face, he look away for a few seconds to compose himself and relax to prevent any more blood to rush to his face.
Having a plain expression plastered onto his face, Seungmin pats the space of the bed next to him, signaling Chris to come closer, holding a blow dryer in his hand. He plugs it in and turns it on for a few seconds before turning it back off.
"C'mere. I'll dry your hair."
"Wow, Seungmin. I never took you for a caring person. Is this what sex aftercare feels like?"
"It would be easier for you to say no."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Chris replied. He sits down on the floor under Seungmin.
Seungmin offers Chris a pillow to sit on. He turns on the blow dryer and proceeds to dry his hair gently. Not too hot, just warm enough for Chris to enjoy the bliss of being pampered.
"Hey, Seung...about uh..what you said a while ago-"
"Think nothing of that." Seungmin sternly replied.
"Well, how about this. What do you think of me?"
"A child in an adult's body." Seungmin said, urging himself to chuckle, but didn't.
"C'mon Seung, be serious." Chris pouted.
"Okay. To me, you're a person who is serious and passionate of his work, but really hates any interaction with a bunch of crusty old men. You're fun to interact with, actually. You can be both honest and a liar, all with good purposes to other people, but not for yourself. I really think you're selfless. Sometimes you forget to take care of yourself. I wanna slap you for that."
"Mhm." Chris smiled as he looked up.
"Seungmin. Thank you for being my friend."
Seungmin smiled back, slightly pushing Chris's head to continue drying the older's hair.
'Thanks for being my friend too.'
"There. Your hair's all dried up now." Seungmin says before turning off the blow dryer.
"Thank you, Seung."
"You'll be sleeping in the bed. No way you're gonna sleep in a couch that can't fit a grown man."
"Then where are you gonna sleep?"
"The freaking couch"
Seungmin then stood up and held the door knob.
Before the boy could leave, Chris hesitated for a bit before gathering his balls and asked,
"C-can't we share the bed..?"
Seungmin looked at Chris
Silence filled the air after Chris released those words from his mouth, until Seungmin broke the tension.
"I guess we could." Seungmin said, closing the door he opened.
"But you should change first." Seungmin told the older as he took some clothes from his closet.
"These are the only big clothes I have in my closet. Don't worry, you've got everything there. I'll be outside to give you some dear privacy."
Seungmin said before he left.
"Oh, uh, thanks.."
