san

it's been two days since my little incident with jongho. i didn't attend school because i'm just too embarrassed to face him, not after what happened.

i was in the kitchen making lunch when my phone rang, i looked at the contact name and saw that it was wooyoung. i picked up.

"san-ah, what're you doing?~" he sang.

"making lunch, shouldn't you be in class right now?" i asked.

"yeah but i'm in the bathroom."

"what do you want?"

"what? i can't call my best friend? anyway, i'm worried for you san-ah. i'm telling you, he likes you too."

i sighed. he's been talking about this ever since it happened. i just ignored him and we stayed silent for a while until i heard the school bell ring through my phone.

"i'll get going. come back soon okay? jongho said he misses you." he said.

"wait- he wha-"

i got cut off because he hung up. i just sighed again and placed my phone on the counter. he said he missed me? i shook my head as i felt myself smiling, the fuck? i just took my bowl of food and sat down at my sofa turning on the tv.

jongho

the bell rang and i have never been so quick to pack my bag and leave the room. i wanted to see san. i hated that he didn't come to school and i knew exactly why. i was walking to my locker to place my things inside when someone appeared beside me wrapping their arm around my shoulder.

"jjong! you didn't even wait for me!" yeosang exclaimed, pouting.

"sorry." i apologised.

"are you okay? is this about san?" he asked.

i just stared at him and sighed before opening my locker.

"i'm sure he meant it jongho, have you not seen the way he looks at you? the things he does for you?" yeosang spoke.

i closed my locker rather harshly and faced him.

"that is exactly why i'm not sure yeosang! he said he loves me and yet he's avoiding me!" i exclaimed, frustrated.

yeosang placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a reassuring smile.

"maybe he's scared? not everyone's as openly gay as you and i jjong. besides, we know he's never even been in a relationship when he has both guys and girls lining up for him." he started.

i laughed a little at that last part and just nodded. i figured i'd meet him at his place and talk to him then.

"i have extra classes, you're okay going home alone?" yeosang asked, snapping me back to reality.

"when have we ever went home together?" i joked.

he playfully hit my shoulder and i laughed, we bid each other goodbye and i walked out to the bus stop. i was using my phone when i felt a presence standing next to me, i looked up and was met with an unfamiliar guy. he was looking at me with cold eyes and his face was expressionless.

"you're choi jongho right?" the guy asked.

"yes.. why?" i replied.

"come with me."

san

i was watching tv when i heard someone knock on my door. i checked the time on my phone and realised that my friends have already ended school. but why would they come see me? i just hoped it was my friends at least and not someone else.

i got up and went to open the door only to be met with a crying jongho. his face was red and had a few scars on it, the sleeves of his shirt were torn and his pants were dirty. before i could process anything, he had already thrown himself onto me and cried. i just stood there before i finally collected myself and closed the door while bringing him to sit on the couch.

i went to get him a glass of water and he drank it all at once. that's when the anger started rising in me.

"jongho, who did this to you?"

"i-i don't know.. i was at the bus stop and he suddenly came up to me and asked me to follow him.." he paused.

he let out a choked sob and i rubbed his back comfortingly, encouraging him to continue.

"i-i followed him and he brought me to an alleyway.. then he started beating me up.." he continued.

i frowned at the fact that someone would even lay their hands on him. i didn't say anything and just went to my kitchen to get the aid kit from the cabinet. i went back to him and started treating his wounds, him letting out winces here and there. after i was done, i placed the things aside and examined his face making sure i hadn't missed anything.

"san.." jongho spoke.

i hummed in response and he looked down at his fingers, fidgeting with them.

"i love you too.." he whispered.

"what?" i asked, making sure i didn't hear wrongly.

he looked up at me and stared into my eyes before placing a hand on my cheek, caressing it softly. unknowingly, our bodies moved closer and our lips caught each other in a slow and passionate kiss.

after a while we pulled away to catch our breaths and we stared at each other again. it wasn't long before we were kissing again, i was the one who pulled him in this time. i slowly pushed him down on the couch making him lay down. i pulled away and stared at him before peppering his face with kisses, making him giggle. i could listen to it all day.

"what took you so long to tell me?" he asked.

"i was afraid you didn't like me back. and also because i was confused of my own sexuality." i replied.

he smiled and left a peck on my lips.

"now, what shall we do about that guy?" i asked.

"we'll worry about him later." he said and pulled me down.

he hid his face in my chest and although the space was small, it was big enough to fit us both in that position. i found myself playing with his hair which resulted in him falling asleep, small and soft snores coming out from his mouth. i smiled softly as i looked at his face, a small pout formed on his lips each time his mouth closes after snoring. i placed a soft and long kiss on his forehead and continued playing with his hair.

"i love you, choi jongho."
