A huge wave of regret came over Shinyu as he invited Dohoon in his house. He led the younger boy to his room, his legs were feeling like jelly.

Dohoon looked around the room, although it was pretty minimalistic, he thought it was quite cute. Shinyu timidly closed the door behind them and flopped on the bed. They looked at each other for a couple of seconds, until the elder made him sit next to him.

"Do you want to play a game?" He asked, his words were almost like some kind of word vomit. Dohoon nodded and sat on the floor next to him. Shinyu stood up as he sat down to get the game, he could feel the younger boy staring at him. He didn't know how to feel about that, so he just pretended he didn't feel it.

He got the game from his shelf and started unpacking and preparing. Dohoon chose the top hat while Shinyu chose the boat. He obviously let the guest pick first.

"Do you want to take care of the money?" Shinyu asked, he felt like he had to be formal in this current moment, he wasn't really sure how to explain it. The tensions between them were just extremely awkward, they couldn't take it anymore. Both of them.

"Shinyu-hyung! De-stress, I'm not gonna eat you!" Dohoon exclaimed while laughing, he could tell that the elder was very tense. For what he deemed to be no reason, obviously he didn't know about the feelings the elder had for him. Shinyu knew of them, but part of him still denied them.

Shinyu forced a laugh out and took the game money. Dohoon didn't want to do the bank, so he would be doing it. He let the younger boy start the game. He put the two dice in the palm of his hand. The light physical touch created a huge blush on his face. He had to take a deep breath before rolling the dice for his turn.

The two continued playing, the silence was still there, but luckily it was rather comfortable. Much better than before, they both liked how it was.

"Ehh?" Dohoon said when reading the card he just got. Shinyu looked at what he got and laughed at him in a friendly way. It was not mocking at all.

Shinyu took the top hat from it's place and put it on the jail space. Dohoon slightly pouted, in the elder's eyes, he thought it was adorable.

They continued playing for about an hour, and they had a wonderful time playing together.

"We should do this more often Dohoon!" He exclaimed with a smile, he was happy things stopped getting awkward, and that they could finally have a decent interaction.

"Yeah! Definitely!" Dohoon exclaimed as he searched for his shoes in the entrance. He found them under the cupboard and put them on. He thanked the older boy for his time and started leaving.

"See you tomorrow!" Dohoon waved and closed the door behind him. He felt his heart warm up, he loved it. With that, he knew that they had to hang out way more often.
