from afar pt. 5

Ship: Hyunho
Triggers/Warnings: none

--------------------------------

You really couldn't be mad at this boy, everything about him seemed so innocent and the guilty look he gave when he started screaming was enough to understand what everyone was talking about.

9 months later

It's been nine months now and a lot has changed in that time. Hyunjin came out of himself a little more and was finally himself. He was now close friends with Minho and the other six boys, but there was also one person for whom he developed romantic feelings. And as it was with everyone, of course his best friends among the six boys knew about it and tried to encourage him to confess his feelings to the person in question. 

Of course, they also knew about the feelings of the person Hyunjin was in love with for exactly the same reasons. That same day after his conversation with Chan, Seungmin and Changbin, he sat in his room and thought about how he could best do the whole thing and, after two hours of frustrating thinking, he realized that he would never say any of these things out loud and so he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter with everything he would say, what he felt and much more. After another three hours, which he needed to perfect the letter and write it in a way that he was happy with, he put it in the appropriate envelope and finally went to bed in the middle of the night. 

The next morning he was extremely tired, but he had a mission: throw the letter in his crush's locker! When that was done, he marched on to his classroom where the others were already waiting for him to come. "There you are, Jinnie!" Chan said, jumping up. "Why are you so late today? Is everything okay?" Hyunjin nodded and sat down in his seat next to Minho, who gave him a careful look that Hyunjin ignored. And so the class began with Hyunjin falling asleep here and there and being woken up again and again by Minho. Now a little worried, he looked closely at Hyunjin, but he didn't notice anything unusual except for the circles under his eyes. 

In the last hour when they had Mr. Song back, Minho was about to wake up Hyunjin when Mr. Song stopped him. "Let him sleep.. it's okay.." he whispered and so they let him sleep, the class was quiet so he could sleep peacefully and he woke up when the school bell rang, Hyunjin woke up again. There were only Minho and the other six in the classroom at this point. "Are you awake now?" Felix asked, looking at him worriedly. 

As sleepy as he was, he simply nodded, stretched once and then got up and said, "I don't know about you, but I'm going to eat now." And so he started to run out of the classroom, quickly followed by Jisung and Changbin then the rest. After school, Minho separated from the boys to quickly put something in his locker, the others nodded and waited for him in front of the school. Nobody noticed how nervous Hyunjin was getting, but that was perhaps for the better at the moment. Minho, meanwhile, opened his locker where a letter came flying straight towards him, he picked it up and opened it. 

Dear Minho, 

I

'm writing you this letter because I know 100% that I could never have said the following things to your face. 

Surely you can still remember our first encounter, the day I ran into you and the others? Where I apologized not only to you but also to them, simply because I didn't know what exactly I should do. From that day on I started watching you from the table where I was sitting alone, but you didn't notice because you were always so immersed in the conversations with the boys. 

I watched you again and again until this group more or less threatened me. The only thing I wanted was a person I could call my best friend, but this group had forbidden that, they made sure I stopped coming to the cafeteria, made sure I had unhealthy eating habits, and so on, that's what they did to me, but you made sure they got expelled from school. 

You and the others have done so many things for me without even knowing it. 

But.. what I really want to say is that I'm in love with you Minho. You're so calm and cool in everything, but you're also so... so loving and attentive that my heart said: 'Yes, Hyunjin, that's the right one!' 

To be honest, I don't even know if you feel the same way, but I just wanted to say it... I guess... No matter what your answer is, I hope it doesn't change our friendship. You're just too important to me for that... 

...now it's time to wait and watch what you'll do, say or whether you ignore it... no matter what it is, I won't be angry with you. 

With love,
Hwang Hyunjin  

With only one thought in his mind, he stuffed his entire school bag into his locker and ran out of the school looking for Hyunjin, when he saw him he ran towards the group and without saying anything he connected his lips with Hyunjin's. At first a little surprised and shocked at the same time, Hyunjin did nothing until he smiled into the kiss and returned it. The six boys around held their breath and waited to see what happened next. 

When the two broke away, Hyunjin looked a little embarrassed at Minho, who was wearing the widest and most beautiful smile they had ever seen. "So... you've already read it... I assume?..." Hyunjin mumbled and Minho nodded. "I love you too Hyunjinnie." He said, lifting Hyunjin's head with his fingers. 

"You're incredibly cute, you know? But you're not officially mine yet, and I'd like to change that. Hwang Hyunjin, would you like to be my boyfriend?" He asked, Hyunjin giggled and nodded hastily as he threw himself around Minho's neck. The others squealed and were happy like little children, and so the two of them walked hand in hand, followed by the others, into the weekend.
