My Lover ~ Jeonghcheol Of Seventeen

Just You & Me..😌

Jihoon was at his office and trying to call Cheol this morning but Cheol wasn't answering. The reason why Cheol wasn't answering Jihoon's call was because he didn't want to take any work calls today and jihoon is one of his business partners. All Cheol wanted for today to give all his attention to Han and to only Han. But jihoon wanted to tell him something important something which Cheol missed from last night's party.

  "Not having a single clue Cheol came with Han to his apartment so they could spend more time with each other before Han went back to Jeju. Cheol was sad that Han was leaving so soon but he didn't show his emotions like he always does. He was joking around to hide it but from inside he was lost."

Han welcomed Cheol to his apartment, it was a two bedroom apartment, an open kitchen and a small living room area with an attached balcony. But when they entered Han was surprised to see the messed up living room, Hoshi's laptop was left open on the table and a few cushions were on the floor from the couch.

They both stood there for a minute to observe the view Han was surprised but when Cheol saw a messy view of the living room and remembered how Mrs. Yoon once said that Han keeps his room messy.

Cheol- (he cleared his throat) ohh so Mrs. Yoon was right after all. "Messy Hannie". (He teased Han by calling him in a squeaky voice)

Han rolled his eyes over Cheol and gave a cold glare at him it was enough hint for Cheol to keep quiet for now and just like obedient lover Cheol placed both hands on his mouth to cover it.

Han- why did he leave his laptop open?  Where is Hoshi? (He said worryingly)

Han then walked towards Hoshi's room he knocked at the door but found it already open he then stepped in his room, lights were on and saw Hoshi sleeping on his bed unsoundly.

Han sighed in relief, he called Hoshi but he didn't reply cause he was in deep sleep already, so he let him sleep he then shut the door of his room quietly and came back to the living room.

Han- so were you saying something? (He asked while frowning at him)

Cheol had lost words to say at the moment, he separated the eye contact with Han and he wiggled his way in sloppy steps as if he forgot how to react. He then moved towards the couch and rearranged the cushions fell on the floor and muttered in a lower voice- Nothing why?? (He made an innocent face)

Han finds this silly act of Cheol cute and a sweet smile light up on his face. Then they both moved forward to sit on the couch. They were sitting on the couch only for a few minutes quietly but this span of time feels like a year to them.

Cheol's thoughts:-

Oh fuck stop with your stupid talks Seungcheol, why am I still nervous, we have come so far now. The good thing is that Han is happy, did I make him smile?  Of course I did. But why are you going so soon Han please don't go.

Han's thoughts:-

Why Cheol is not saying anything should I? No...we actually never been together alone like this, is there nothing to do. Should I show him around at least it'll be better just to sit like this.

Han then rapidly uttered- So this my tiny apartment do you wanna see it? (He started with a hyped tone but ended up with a slower shaky voice)

Cheol- hmm. (he hummed)

After that Han gave a little tour of the apartment and his room and Cheol looked at every part of Han's apartment with so much enthusiasm as he could feel Han's involvement in decorating his apartment. But Han didn't let Cheol see his closet as it was still messy because of the rampage he caused in his closet to select the clothes to wear for last night's party.

Cheol was just following Han around wherever he was going just like a kid not leaving his side for a second, Han was leaving tomorrow and that thought was making Cheol restless.

Han- do you wanna drink or have something hot maybe cold anything?? (He said awkwardly)

Cheol- anything I don't mind. (He mumbled)

Han- coffee??

Han was in the kitchen making coffee for Cheol and Cheol followed him there too, while Han was busy with coffee Cheol noticed a showcase in the corner of the living room he then walked forward there which was decorated with family photographs of Han and Hoshi, he looked at the photo frames and one particular photo frame caught Cheol's attention, it was two pictures of Han with his mother one of his childhood and one was the recent one.

Cheol held that photo frame and gazed reflectively at it, there was a hint of tears at the corner of his eyes. He lost his mother at a very young age and that engraved a huge impact on him and seeing that picture opened his pain of losing his mother. He misses her a lot, something he always hides from others cause he doesn't want to show his vournable side to  anyone.

  "All of sudden Cheol was feeling lost again in thoughts, every signs of smile faded away from his face. He put down the photo frame as he was feeling suffocated and moved towards the balcony."

Cheol was standing at the balcony staring at the sky with blury vision a tap on his shoulders distracted him from his trance. He turned around and found Han standing next to him holding two cups of coffee, staring at him. Cheol quickly composed himself and put a fake smile on his face but not knowing Han already felt that sadness in Cheol's eyes.

Han handed over a cup of coffee to Cheol. They both stood at the balcony without saying anything.

Han's thoughts:-

What happened to him? A few minutes before he was teasing me and now....(he looked at Cheol with a worried expression on his face).

Cheol felt Han was looking at him and when he noticed Han's eyes filled with questions, he couldn't resist himself to ask...

Cheol- what?? Why are you looking at me like that?

Han- (he rapidly turned his eyes away from Cheol) ah.... nothing..(he stuttered)

Cheol pulled Han towards him by placing his arm on Han's shoulder.

Cheol- but I just saw you staring at me. Were you checking me out?? (He whispered)

Han removed Cheol's arm from his shoulder immediately.

Han- no...i wasn't..(he paused and turned to face Cheol) actually yes, I was staring at you. (He stated)

Han gave an unwavering gaze to Cheol which was enough to make Cheol's heart flutter. He gulped and tried to compose himself but before Cheol could say anything Han continued....

Han- I saw your eyes,,,,your.....teary eyes. (He said softly) is there something bothering you? (He asked with concern)

Cheol- No,,, something got in my eyes. I'm fine. (He scoffed)

Cheol lied It's not like that he didn't want to share his sorrows with Han but showing his sadness was never the option for Cheol, he grew up like that hiding his emotional side.

Cheol tried to avoid this conversation so he moved forward to the living room then playfully sat on the couch leaving behind Han unanswered at the balcony after a few seconds Han also followed him and set next to him.

"Han had not known Cheol for a long time but he had started understanding him enough to know that something was bothering Cheol right now."

Cheol rested his head back on the couch and Han moved towards him, looking at him he then softly brushed his fingers on his hairs which made Cheol weak, he was barely holding his emotions and he melted in a second.

Cheol leaned over to Han and hugged him in the middle, his face was completely buried.

He left out the sobs and tightened the grip around Han as if he was making sure that Han couldn't escape.

Han caressed Cheol's hair fondly and made sure Cheol felt loved.
