You and I :: HYUNMIN / SEUNGJIN (DISCONTINUED)

6

Jisung and Minho ended up heading home.

"Need a ride Hyunjin?" Jisung asked

"No it's okay. Im gonna stay for a bit. Seungmin is acting strange, and after everything that happened, I don't really think he should be alone" Hyunjin replied cautiously.

Jisung replied with a nod and said his goodbyes to everyone before leaving as did Minho.

Seungmin came out of his room and noticed everyone but Hyunjin was gone.

"Oh, they left. Do you need a ride home?" Seungmin asked the older boy.

Hyunjin shook his head no, and walked over to him.

"I'm worried about you Seungminnie." Hyunjin said.

"What? Why? I'll be fine! Don't worry about me." He replied, a fake smile on his face. Today was a really long day for him and his social battery was completely dead.

"Seungmin, after everything that happened, I don't really trust you alone" the older said truthfully. He didn't know what Seungmin was going to do to himself while he was gone.

"I'll be fine." Seungmin said, looking down at his fiddling hands. Truthfully he wasn't going to be fine. His... plans after they would all leave were a bit morbid and he wanted to be able to do it.

"Seungmin. I can tell something is wrong. I'm not sure what but I have a good idea. I'm not going to make you talk about it to me or whatever, because I want you to talk to me about it in your own time." Hyunjin said, looking at Seungmin's fiddling hands. "You don't even ever have to talk to me about it if you really don't want to. I just want to make sure you're okay."

Seungmin looked from his hands, to the older boys face, who's eyebrows were furrowed worriedly and who's smile was small, but comforting. His vision started to get blurry from the tears he was trying to hold back, and Hyunjin noticed this.

Out of instinct, he pulled Seungmin into a hug. This make Seungmin instantly break, hugs and physical affection being his weak point. He was sobbing into the older boys shirt.

"Seungmin..."  Hyunjin said.

He looked up, his face red and eyes puffy from crying.

"I know you didn't like me seeing you like this, but to me, it was kind of comforting."

"What... do you mean?" Seungmin replied.

'He's going to make fun of me'

'Or maybe he's just being nice because I was high as shit.'

"He said he dealt with this before, but i still feel super embarrassed.'

Seungmins thoughts were consuming him, until Hyunjin broke the short silence.

"It's nice to know that you aren't... perfect." He said. "Well- I mean like... ugh! I mean, you always show up to class on time, never late, you always get the best grades, you always show your happy side, but I've never really seen you this vulnerable before. It reminds me of... me. It's just nice to know that you're not perfect. Just like me. Believe it or not, we are very similar." He said, now playing with Seungmins hair.

"Oh" was all that could come out of Seungmins mouth, but he then smiled, his cheeks turning an ever so slightly tint of red. It was a small smile, but to Hyunjin it was really pretty.

"Well.. it's nice to know you're not perfect either." He said, no longer crying, but still with the crying hiccups.

"What made you think I was perfect?" Hyunjin laughed.
