Jun always had low self-esteem, but he just didn't show it to people. He thought it was just time pass to show people what he was going through so he kept quiet. Not until this very moment when his friends dragged him to the bar. Even having protested for a long time, they didn't listen; especially Soonyoung and Seungcheol. Jun felt irritated now that all his friends abandoned him for a few bitches or their boyfriends.

Right now, instead of staying in a cozy corner, Jun has moved to the windows. He could see the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone was enjoying the drizzle of cool rainwater and wished he could be there. But he was stuck here, pretty sure he to have been murdered by his friends if he left them.

The drink in his hand was long forgotten since he had no desire to drink, having already had one before. He just started out the window, wishing he could dance and sing in his practice room, till he collapsed in his bed. Just then he heard a very familiar voice. "Looks like ur imprisoned here." He looked toward the owner of the voice and sure enough, it was Minghao; his crush. He automatically lost his voice and just whispered "I am."

"Why is such an attractive man sitting here all alone? U could have come with someone."

"I did come with my friends, but they all ran off and I'm left here. Tell me, why are you an extremely stunning guy roaming and chatting with a not-so-important person?"

"I have no mood to be here, I was dragged into this shitty place. And besides, ur very important to me, so shush."

He couldn't say anything but nod at the words.

Jun just stared at the drink in front of him, but under the table, he was itching and torturing his poor hand.

"Say why are you with a person like me Minghao? Especially in a place where u find tons of attractive people and would suit ur beauty"

"No one else's beauty can match yours. And I'm addicted to your beauty. Not some random bitch's who I find in a shitty place."

"We have a very clear difference in what kinda people we are, Minghao. Your popular, I'm invisible. No matter what I do. So I don't know how my 'beauty' reached ur eyes when it didn't even reach my own."

To say that Minghao was sad and disappointed in how he looked at himself was an understatement. So he made it his mission to make him smile, and possibly blush madly. He took Jun's hand from underneath the table and caressed the red bruises on his bony hand. Jun grew flustered but he couldn't say anything outta shyness. Minghao decided to take him to a quieter place and talk more about themselves.

"Hey Junhui, let's go to a quieter place to spend time. I'm pretty sure both of us lost interest in this hopeless place"

He spoke, looking around the place and seeing people get drunk and waste and sell themselves to perverts. Jun looked at him stunned and quite surprised.

"With a person like me? I'm very boring you know. And awkward."

"You've kept me interested ever since I saw you. I'm pretty sure ur awesome. Let's go?"

Jun nodded slowly. Both got up from their seats and made their way out of the unwanted place and Minghao led them somewhere into nature. While walking, both were on their phones, telling their friends how they were with their crush right now and that they had left the place.

"Tell me about yourself Junhui."
"Um, can I ask, how do u know me?"
"Your friends gave it ur name to me, and the first time I saw u, you were dancing like a pretty swan in that basketball court. Full of elegance and beauty." He glanced at Jun, and there was a pretty blush on his cheeks but no smile.

"And how do u know me Junhui?"

Jun glanced at him

"I don't know, or I don't remember. I think I first saw u at the library. With that girl, you're always with....."

The conversation became awkward, Jun thought. But Minghao was determined to clear things up.

"She was obsessed with me. I told her I had a boyfriend but she still didn't leave me alone. After I screamed and made a scene, she went to another man."

"Oh"

"We're here!"

They were on the edge of a cliff. The scene was absolutely mesmerizing and truly beautiful. Minghao was sure he would make Jun smile at the scene. And he did. Jun smiled softly at the stars and cool breeze. The smell of rain and fresh soil was refreshing, especially when they recently come out of the bar and its suffocating smelly air.

"It's beautiful. Why did u bring me here?"

"A beautiful place for a beautiful person"

"No, I'm not pretty enough to be compared to this place."

Minghao looked at him with sincere love dripping out of his eyes. If only he saw himself like Minghao saw him.

Both lay on the fresh green grass, eyes not leaving the scenery and always exploring.

"I need to tell u this and I brought u to the perfect place Junnie. I have known u for a few years now. And your everything has caught my eye. No matter how hard I try. I can't get enough of ur pretty face."

Minghao said while looking at his face. Jun smiled slowly.

"So u fell for me first?"

"Yeah" Minghao breathed out.

"I thought u had a boyfriend?"

"I don't but if u want to be mine, I'll have the most amazing of a boyfriend" He winked.

Jun chuckled and replied.

"And I fell for u harder but why me out of all people?"

Minghao hovered over Jun to look over his eyes. Both sharing eye contact and processing things. He frowned when he saw tears dwelling up in Jun's pretty shining eyes. He got up from his place and picked Jun up and placed him on his lap. He was surprisingly very fragile.

"I don't like it when u speak down on yourself. Ur an amazing human and ur very fucking special. Don't speak like that about u ever again Junnie."

He spoke while wiping away tears from his eyes and looking at his lips. Minghao smiled softly

"I love u Junnie."

"I love u too Hao."

Minghao placed his lips on Jun's plump and soft ones. The 2 kissed softly, pouring all emotions out from all those years of loving each other. After they pulled out, Junhui hugged Minghao tightly, much needing that hug. And hugging someone after a very long time, it felt comforting. Jun was still pouring out tears, but they were out of happiness and sadness too. Minghao smiled and hugged him back equally as tight, wrapping his arms around Junhui's waist and Junhui's arms around his shoulders. It felt just right.

And now they hoped they will live happily with each other for the rest of their lives.
