at last, no more pain. no more broken hearts. no more tears.

it feels like a fever dream.

not long ago, joshua's feelings were reciprocated. he found out jeonghan loves him, and jeonghan found out joshua loves him too. last night, jeonghan asked him out in the most weird but romantic way possible.

thinking about it now has his heart racing. calm down, heart. you don't want to get a heart attack at six in the morning because you're lovesick.

his phone on the nightstand next to his bed vibrates, causing him to flinch in surprise. he looks at the caller's name with wide eyes.

seokmin moves in his sleep and pulls the duvet all the way up, covering his head. "jisoo hyung, pick up the phone," he mumbles sleepily.

"sorry, seokmin." tippy-toeing out the shared room with his phone, he carefully shuts the door.

the incoming call ends but starts ringing again after a few seconds. joshua smiles at the older's impatience.

he picks up, "hannie, it's barely six."

"i miss you." jeonghan's morning voice is the best.

joshua gulps. no, get your head out of the gutter.

"i miss you too." his smile is too wide it's starting to hurt a little but he can't stop smiling.

"i'll pick you up later, babe." he hears ruffles on the line. jeonghan is probably getting out of bed.

"i leave at seven today though. why don't you go back to sleep? i have class late tomorrow so you can pick me up then."

"no, i want to pick you up today and tomorrow and everyday after."

joshua rolls his eyes with a huge grin, "god, you're so cheesy. how is it that you're worse than when we confessed to each other?"

"hey, this is my love language. i know you love it, baby."

joshua pours water into the glass cup and holds it close to his lips. "well, i guess i do. but let's tone it down a bit, yeah?"

he hears the angel clicks his tongue. both lines stay quiet for a moment but they don't want to end the call.

"you know what, joshuji?"

"hm?" he finally drinks the water.

"i think i understand the importance of having a status in a relationship now."

"really?" his eyebrows raise, interested.

"mhm. now that we're officially dating, the feelings now are different than when i confessed to you. of course, the feelings were great then, but what i'm trying to say is, having a clear label feels so much greater."

joshua giggles at how adorable jeonghan is. the older giggles along. the silent surfaces again but only for a few seconds.

"i love you," joshua utters so softly and full of emotions.

"i love you so much, joshuji."

everyone at the specific table are staring at the lovey-dovey couple. they are at lost for words. first of all, it is kind of disgusting see hearts floating at the air. second of all, it's just gross.

"oh my fucking god, can you two please let me eat in peace?" seungkwan grits his teeth. he is not jealous. why should he be? he has vernon, the greatest boyfriend he could ever ask for. it's just that, yoon jeonghan annoys the hell out of him.
