Secret | Jaehyun x Woonhak

(VIII)

The birds outside were singing a soft but comforting melody. Jaehyun and Woonhak were alone in the classroom. The window was wide open, which was why the birds were so loud. The taller boy went up to the window and closed it.

Jaehyun just stared at him, admiring what he looked like. Strangely, he found him extremely attractive while walking. He scolded himself for finding a boy handsome. It wasn't normal, at least that's what he was taught as a child.

Woonhak was closing the blinds, so that the sun couldn't peel in the already bright room. It would also prevent unwanted intruders from peeking.

He made sure the door was closed. He put a piece of paper on the window, for no unwanted visitors. He pushed a table to the door, preventing anyone from entering.

Jaehyun didn't understand this whole thing. He didn't understand the younger boy's behaviour. But he didn't really question him. He just watched him. Still admiring his beauty.

"Did I close everything babe?" Woonhak asked, taking Jaehyun's hand, and made him face him. He slowly put his hands on Jaehyun's shoulders.

Confused, Jaehyun looked around the room, he nodded and looked around again. His eyes then fell on Woonhak. They maintained eye contact for a couple of seconds before the younger boy leaned in.

He softly pressed his lips on Jaehyun's. A sweet kiss, only deepened by their lips moving in sync. Jaehyun, despite wanting to break away, couldn't. It was like he was addicted to kissing Woonhak. He loved it, and he realised that he shouldn't.

Jaehyun — a boy, kissing a boy, and worse of all, liking it.. it wasn't normal. He didn't want to be what he suspected. He admittedly found it strange that Woonhak called him babe. He never did that, why would he? Best friends don't use romantic nick names for each other.

They ended the long kiss due to a lack of oxygen. Woonhak looked at Jaehyun, once again in the eyes. He noticed that the boy wasn't his usual self. As he was about to ask him about it, another thought took over his mind.

"Next time you're hiding us from the world 'k?" Woonhak said, he then laughed at what he said. He was always the one to close all windows and blinds and make sure that no one would find out about their relationship, and more importantly, their sexuality.

"Oh how silly of me, you never do that!" He said, laughing, as if he just told the joke of the century. As if it could rival some of the greatest stand up comedians. Jaehyun couldn't help but laugh with him. He still didn't understand the situation, but he let his feelings go over any rational thoughts.

Woonhak quickly planted a peck on the cheek before opening both the blinds and windows. The birds' songs were much louder once again. He removed the piece of paper and put the table back at its place; right in front of Jaehyun.

Just as Woonhak finished pushing the table back, the bell rang. It was extremely different, compared to the usual bell. This one was a repetitive beeping sound. One that was nowhere near in its place as a school bell. It would work so much better as an alarm.

Jaehyun tried to drown out the sound by following Woonhak down the hallway, to their first class. But it wouldn't stop; even after the fifteen seconds of ringing. It should've gone quiet by now.

That's when the illusion shattered, Jaehyun's eyes opened in a brisk movement, instead of a flutter. He looked around, longing for the school that wasn't his.

He tried to remember what just happened, he realised that it was all a dream. The kiss, the classroom, the school building, the hiding.. everything.

But one thing didn't sit right with him, why did he have genuine feelings during the kiss. He had a feeling of longing, and regret when he was up. But when in the dream, he enjoyed it.

He looked at himself in the mirror while putting all his school stuff in his back pack. He was playing around with his hair, he wanted it to look as good as possible. But, weirdly enough, it wasn't for himself. It was for his classmate... His best friend. His male best friend. Kim Woonhak.

He wanted to look good for a boy, so that he would be found attractive by a boy. A boy, just like him. He didn't fully understand why he cared about his appearance so much for just some boy. Well obviously, Woonhak was much more than just a boy. But it was still not normal.

"What's wrong with me!" He exclaimed, fully frustrated. He almost accidentally choked himself due to anger. He was putting his tie on just as he was having his fit.

He decided to skip breakfast this morning, all the thoughts in his head were making him sick. So he still had a bit of time to think about the dream he had.

The dream that.. he wanted to be reality.
