Lost ☆ Jeonghan X Soonyoung (ON HOLD)

13

The sun was setting over the city. Oranges stroked around the sun, crowning it. The soft orange hues of the fading sunlight bathed the surroundings in a warm, romantic glow. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves on the trees, and the distant sound of water flowing added to the serenity of the moment.

Hoshi sat there, with Ara as his accompaniment. They have been together since 10 in the morning. They started by visiting a local art gallery where Ara shared her passion for art and painting. Hoshi couldn't help but smile every time Ara explained the outcome of the art excitedly.

Afterward, they enjoyed a delicious lunch at a cozy café, where they had engaging conversations about their dreams and personal interests. Hoshi talked about his dedication to dance, and Ara revealed her aspirations as an artist which explained why she had pursued in art and design course.

"Ice cream?" Hoshi asked, breaking the comfortable silence between them as his hand handing out a cup of ice cream.

Ara lifted her eyebrows "Sure!" She exclaimed as an excited smile drew upon her lips. Only god knows when did Hoshi bought this.

Seeing such a reaction, a soft smile built on his face. Hoshi gazed back at the round, orange nature that is getting ready to set.

The sun dipped lower on the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange, pink, and purple. Hoshi and Ara sat side by side on a park bench in silence as they were busy with the ice cream in their hand with their eyes fixed on the mesmerizing canvas of colors before them.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Ara sighed, her gaze reflecting the hues of the sunset.

Hoshi nodded, still with a soft smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, it really is. I never realized how much I appreciate moments like these."

Ara chuckled, "Sometimes, we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget to appreciate the simple, beautiful things around us."

Hoshi glanced at her, his eyes reflecting the fading sunlight. "You're right" His eyes caught a little smudge on the corner of her lips "Today has been amazing" He calmly said, wiping the smudge with his thumb which Ara looked at him in surprise "Thank you for spending it with me." Hoshi gave her a big, wide smile.

Red tint blushed on her cheeks as she touched the place where the smudge was at, grinning shyly "Yeah... Thank you for the treat too, Ci"

"I... always love you, honey" Hoshi suddenly confessed. Even though they have been in a relationship for a year and half, Ara still can't get used to his sudden confess all of the time.

Like... yah she knows that he loves her.

Ara immediately averted her eyes to look back at the mesmerising scene of the sun. Which Hoshi did the same before he called her out "Rara"

The said person hummed, still not budging their eyes from the sun. A second of silence passed by.

"The sunset is beautiful isn't it?"

"Ci"

Hoshi jerked his head toward the door, where Jeonghan poked his head in between. A smile developed on Hoshi's face.

"Can I...?" Jeonghan asked.

With a little smile on his face, Hoshi nodded, scooting to the right to make space for the older to take his place.

As soon as Jeonghan landed his butt on the edge of the bed, he played with the blanket. fidgetting and twirling his fingers in between. Hoshi noticed how Jeonghan was hesitating and immediately asked "Why?"

Jeonghan locked his eyes with Hoshi's "Joshua... He didn't come home?" Jeonghan carefully asked

"He didn't tell me anything. Have you called him?"

"Uhm..." Jeonghan trailed his eyes back to his finger. "He didn't answer my text and call" Jeonghan answered in a tiny voice.

Hearing such a voice, Hoshi believes and knows it "Both of you had a fight, don't you?"

Jeonghan pursed his lower lips "Something happened..."

Hoshi let out a chuckle. Please, Jeonghan looked so tiny in that pose. His head was hanging low, his fingers were picking the nails with his lips pouting. "You act like you are fighting with your girlfriend" h

Hoshi's smile dropped immediately "Or you guys actually..." Hoshi stopped himself from continuing his words.

Jeonghan's eyes went round "YAH!" he smacked Hoshi with a pillow that he snatched behind him "WE ARE NOT!"

A peal of laughter developed in the room as they pushed each other, hitting each other's arms.

As the laughter died down, Hoshi looked at the older. To be honest he was seeking an answer. This Jeonghan always looks calm and soft. He was endearing too. Hoshi, sitting under Jeonghan's care couldn't help but to be jealous of whoever has Jeonghan as their biological brother.

No, but Joshua is an amazing brother too.

"Hyung..." Hoshi called out hesitantly.

Jeonghan responded with a hum, putting his attention on him.

"I'm sorry if this question sounds sensitive... But do you have any siblings?" Hoshi carefully asked.

Jeonghan drew a fainted smile. Well, if it happens to other people, maybe they might trigger. Seeing hiw he lost them, some people will choose to not talk about them. But Jeonghan, he just realised after 4 years has known each other, he never told Hoshi or Joshua about his family.

Which explains why Joshua seemed surprised when Jeinghan brought him to Soonyoung's grave a few weeks ago.

And instead, he always loves how people wanted to know how amazing Yoon Soonyoung was.

"I did have" Jeonghan uttered, bopping his head twice.

Hoshi knitted his eyebrows in confusion "did?"

Jeonghan lifted up his head, locking his eyes with Hoshi's. "He is not with me anymore, Chi"

"Soon... young...?" Hoshi hesitated, afraid that he might get the wrong name.

Hearing that name, a smile on Jeonghan's lips getting wider, At least, people in this world still acknowledge Soonyoung as his one and only brother "yeah... How did you know?"

"Well.. you once got mad at me but you screamed out his name instead"

"Oh, really?"

Hoshi pursed his lips, slightly pouting as he nodded "eung. you said to me ,I know you just got your choreography plagiarized. But why do you have to use violence, Yoon Soonyoung! and pressed my wound little hard" Hoshi explained, mimicking the way Jeonghan shouted.

A wave of guilt washed over Jeonghan. His eyes shaded as he reached for Hoshi cheeks, caressing it with his thumb "Really? Isn't that hurt?"

Hoshi drew a reassuring smile and placed his hand on top of Jeonghan's "It's okay. My fault anyway" he drew Jeonghan's hand away and undoes the blanket that has been covering his lower body. "Sleep with me? I want to be hugged and to hear your story about Soonyoung too" He offered.

Jeonghan's heart ached. He likes it like this. He liked it when Hoshi wanted to get spoiled by him. He liked it when Hoshi acted like Soonyoung. Part of him screams. He really wanted to love Hoshi as Hong Hoshi, not Yoon Soonyoung.

But no matter how hard he tries, Jeonghan always thinks that he never lost Soonyoung. And that is all a nightmare that hits hard like a reality.

Even though the world said otherwise, even the truth said it was nothing like that, he still wanted to believe it like that

Jeonghan believes that Hong Hoshi is Yoon Soonyoung.
