My Fate || JeongChan FF

Chapter 7

*The next day...*

"Come on!" Felix pulls Jeongin towards the stairs as he held him by the left hand.

"But where are you taking me?" Jeongin inquired.

"I just wanna show you something." Felix tried to reassure him as they headed upstairs.

A few moments later, Felix stopped in front of a door. "So there's a surprise behind the door..."

Jeongin tilted his head in question, "So what's the surprise?"

"You'll have to open the door and see for yourself, Innie."

Jeongin paused for a brief moment, thinking whether or not he should go in, before he turned the handle of the door...

As he slowly entered, he was indeed surprised to see Chan sitting on the bed. At that moment, he heard the door shut behind him.

"Hyeong, what are you doing?"

Felix's voice could be head from the other side. "I'm trying to help you out."

Chan finally spoke up, "Felix, what is this?"

"This is for your own good, Chris. I want you two to become friends, and not just boss and employee. And note that I won't open this door until you both reassure me that you're friends."

"This is ridiculous. Hyeong, open the door."

"I can't hear you. I'm leaving now. Byeeee..." Then Felix's footsteps faded as he walked away, and Jeongin and Chan were left alone in the locked room...

Jeongin just sat down on the bed, soon Chan followed.

They both stayed silent as the situation felt awkward. Meanwhile, Chan was literally staring at Jeongin, his heart fluttering at the sight of his beauty.

'How can someone be this cute?'

Jeongin could now feel Chan's eyes lingering on him. As their eyes met, Chan looked away immediately.

"Why were you staring?" Jeongin asked, his voice low and gentle.

"N-No, I wasn't staring." Chan tried to defend himself.

"You were." Jeongin continued.

"No I wasn't."

"You were." A small smile began to creep up on Jeongin's lips.

"No, I wasn't."

"I saw you. You were staring Mr Bahng."

"You don't have to be so formal. Just call me Chan... or even Chris if you like."

"I can't do that. You're my boss-"

Chan cuts him off, "At work, I'm your boss. But here, you're my guest. So call me by my name. Alright?"

"Mmh...", Jeongin paused, "Fine... Only if you tell me why you were staring."

"Because I was asking myself why you're so cute..." Chan trailed off as he realized what he'd just said.

Jeongin felt his cheeks heat up and his heart flutter for a moment. "What?"

"I-I'm just saying that y-you're... cute."

Jeongin didn't know what to say. So he looked down at his lap and said, "Huh, thanks...", with a small smile on his face.

"Sorry if you felt uncomfortable." Chan apologized.

Jeongin reassured him that it was fine.

"Sooooo...", Chan tried to spark a conversation, "Since we're locked up in here... We might as well go along with what Felix suggested. Let's get to know each other a little more."

Jeongin agreed, and within a few minutes they were chatting and laughing with each other. Turns out they had a few things in common, from daily morning routines to personal experiences.

Then Jeongin randomly asked when he felt like they were running out of topics: "Chan Hyeong. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure", he replied.

Jeongin hesitated, "I was just wondering... Are you gay?"

Chan's facial expression turned plain as he looked at Jeongin.

"I heard Felix telling me something about you being gay, s-so... I'm just curious. But you don't have to answer if it's a weird question. I know it is. I'm sor-"

Chan cut him off by placing a finger over his mouth, "Ssshhhh. Stop right there. Why are you apologizing? You're just asking a question."

Chan removed his finger, leaving Jeongin shocked by his actions.

"To answer your question...", He paused, looking lost, "I don't really know, actually."

Jeongin blinked before saying, "So... You're not sure?"

"I guess so..."

"But how can you not be sure?"

"I don't know", Chan slightly chuckled.

Jeongin stayed silent for a brief moment before he said, "... Let's test it."

"What?" Chan's eyebrows rose immediately in surprise.

"Let's test it" Jeongin repeated.

"B-But how?"

"Easy. Just kiss someone and see how you feel afterwards."

"You're saying it as if it's that easy."

"But it is."

Chan leaned in slightly closer, "Then what if I kiss you?"
