Unexpected Admiration | Haobin

12

After talking with Hao and clearing things up Hanbin felt a mix of different emotions. Of course he was overjoyed that he could finally get to have a bond with the older but he was genuinely sad and frustrated by the fact that the missed out on so much due to miscommunication.

He let his frustrations subside and decided that he should make the best out of the time that they now had. He used the rest of the school day looking forward to the next time he'd see the older. Now that the two could grow closer Hanbin felt that he no longer need to hide his wanting to be with the older, in a... platonic way of course.

Hanbin remembered that Gyuvin mentioning that Hao would be staying after school for a while, so Hanbin decided to what any friend would and wait for Hao to be done with his lessons, especially ones that Hao had with Sunwoo.

In all honesty Hanbin didn't like the feeling he got from Sunwoo when the older was speaking at Hao. The way Sunwoo tried to boss Hao into not talking to him set him off, but it wasn't just that. Hanbin knows the type of person Kim
Sunwoo is, the older had been in his dance group for the past 3 years - so when Sunwoo pretended not to know him his annoyance only grew. Hanbin truly had no good words to speak of Sunwoo besides the fact that he was a good dancer. To put it simple, Sunwoo was; rude, snobby, and well know as someone that plays with people. Hanbin didn't like the idea of someone like that near Hao.

So once the end-of-day dismissal bell rung Hanbin hurriedly made his way to the music building. Once he entered the building he went straight to the practice room where Hao was earlier, and of course Hao was already there setting up for his lesson.

With a small knock to the door he finally catches Hao's attention before walking into the room with a smile. "Oh? What're you doing here Hanbin-ah?" Hao says a little shocked before smiling at the younger.

"I was hoping you wouldn't mind me keeping you company during your lesson, we could take a walk after... if you'd like?" Hanbin says shyly as he sets his bag down near Hao's before walking next to the older.

Hao nods making Hanbin smile brightly, "Stay if you'd like, I'd actually like the company... Sunwoo can be something else at times" hao says letting out and awkward chuckle. Tilting his head to the side Hanbin questions, "What do you mean hyung?"

With a shrug Hao replies, "He can just be really touchy, it makes me a little uncomfortable so hopefully he'll dial it back since you're here.."

At first Hanbin nods but then after a few seconds realization hits him. One being a hint of annoyance, why the hell is Sunwoo being touchy with Hao? And two being a hint of guilt, he didn't know Hao's limits of touch and he realized that maybe Hao felt uncomfortable earlier today when he kept grabbing at Haos hands.

Hanbin was quick to speak, "Oh I'm sorry about today then..." Hao looks over at him rather confused, "Huh? For what Binnie?"

Blushing at the nickname Hanbin avoids the olders gaze, "I kept holding onto you earlier today when we talked... I didn't realize you were uncomfortable, I'm sorry hyung" he says with a pout making Hao giggle. "No need to apologize Hanbinnie!"

"But hyung you said you don't like it when someone's touchy-", "No Binnie I said I don't like when Sunwoo is touchy with me, with you it's different." Hao cuts him off with a smile, however Hanbin's eyes widen. "What'd you say..." Hanbins asks with his mouth slightly opened and heart beat quickening, confused as to if he heard the older right.

The giggles that Hao lets out before replying only make his heart beats race more, "I said it's different when it comes to you Binnie" he says in such a sweet tone and bright smile that makes Hanbin feel as if he could just melt into a puddle.
