First Sight (JunHao)

♡Chapter 13♡

" Me and Yanan met in our first year of high school." Jun let out. " So two years ago. We were mostly in the same class, but we rarely talked since Yanan was so shy. Then I met Seokmin, Seungkwan and Vernon, and we formed our friend group. But every single class me and Yanan had together, Yanan was always by himself so I invited him to join our group, then it was the four of us for a while, until Seokmin and Shua got together so we combined our group to Shua's. Which had everyone else. Yanan got a bit overwhelmed so he rarely hung out with all of us, so I usually hung out with him, and we got closer as the year went on..." Jun paused and stared at the ceiling, reliving the memories was so fun yet sad.

" We started dating at the end of the first year, but we didn't tell anyone, because Yanan was scared, and...his parents were homophobic soooo, it scared him even more."Jun whispered out the last part, and tears started filling his eyes.

" Oh..." Hao said, he hadn't noticed the tears yet because he couldn't really see Junnie's face properly.

" We lasted until the middle of our second year...Yanan's parents found out somehow, and..." Jun trailed off, a lump forming in his throat, trying his best not to cry. And this is when Hao noticed that Junnie was on the verge of tears, he rushed over onto the bed, lifted him and held him against his chest. Stroking his hair slowly, " Shh, don't cry, you don't have to continue on, you can stop now." Hao said.

" I- it's just, it's all my fault..." Jun whispered out, his forehead against Hao's shoulders, silently letting the tears fall.

" How is it your fault?" Hao gently asked, drawing small circles on Jun's back to calm him down. It's the same motion Jun did to comfort him during their walk.

" I knew his parents were homophobic...yet I still asked him out...if I didn't he wouldn't be getting..." Jun sobbed out, full on crying at this point. Hao just held onto Junnie very tightly, not speaking, just drawing circles on his back. Jun cried for an hour before mumbering, " Stay...please..."and drifted to a deep slumber.

Hao didn't know what to do, he wanted to stay, but how was he supposed to explain to his mother where he had been? Whatever...Jun needs me more... Hao thought. He moved them up to the backboard, and cuddled Jun while petting his hair. If anyone had told me when I first came to New York that on the second day of school I would be cuddling with a boy, I would've ran away right there and then, but I guess fate had different plans. Heh. He smiled at the thought before taking a good look at Jun's face.

His skin is so clear...and looks so soft...I wanna touch it so badly... Without thinking for a second Hao reached out his hand and stroked Junnie's cheeks. So soft...how? Hao didn't realize that Jun was leaning into his touch, and just continued to touch Junnie's cheeks. Before thinking properly Hao leaned in and kissed Jun's forehead whispering, "Goodnight Junnie. See you tomorrow."

Hao got out of the bed and grabbed his bag and gently closed the door, making sure it didn't make a single sound. He walked down the hallway and out the front door. Shit. How am I supposed to lock it? Uhhh... let's just hope someone doesn't break in... Hao prayed, and walked down the stairs into the bakery.

" Who's there?" Mrs. Wen asked, she was crouching on the floor and looking through the boxes.

" Just me, Mrs. Wen." Hao replied, quickly slipping past the counter.

Mrs. Wen looked up and smiled sweetly, " Hey Hao! Where's Junnie?"

" Sleeping. We were talking and he got tired so I let him sleep."

" Oh I see, want a biscuit before you go?"Mrs. Wen asked, quickly grabbed the nearby biscuit jar, and handed Hao five biscuits.

" Oh thank you so much Mrs. Wen. Have a great day." Hao said and walked away.

" Bye Hao! Be careful!"

Hao waved Mrs. Wen goodbye and walked out of the bakery. The contrast between the inside and the outside was insane, the sky was pitch black and the wind was freezing. Cold. Was all Hao thought while walking home. Super cold.

When Hao finally got to his house, he hurriedly opened the door and turned up the thermostat. Few minutes later, with the thermostat kicked up, the house was as cozy as the bakery. Nice nice...now what do I do now?

Signing, Hao went up to the cabinets and got a mug and poured some milk. He then chugged it in one big sip. Ah...refreshing... The next thing on Hao's schedule was, " Soonyoung, and Channie." Hao breathed out aloud, and picked up his phone, then called the group chat.

The first one to answer was Soonyoung, " What's up Hao! How was school? Also why are you so late home?" Before Hao had the chance to respond, Channie then joined the call.

"HAOOOOOOO! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Chan screamed into the phone. " GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY! GUESS GUESS."

" Uh...You finally got revenge on Soonyoung?"Hao asked, which started a riot.

" WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN REVENGE? WHAT DID I DO?"

" HAOOOOOOO! I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE WEREN'T GONNA SAY IT WHEN THE THREE OF US ARE TOGETHERRRRR"

" WAIT WHAT? CHANNNIEEEEEEEE!"

" HAOOOOOOOOOOO"

" CHAN ANSWER ME! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY REVENGE?"

" NO!"

" YES!"

" NO!"

" YES!"

As the two continued their amazingly mature bickering. Hao was patiently waiting for the right time to cut in. And then he remembered the exciting thing Chan wanted to say.

" Wait Channie. What was the thing that got you so excited?" Hao finally cut in. FINALLY breaking the very intense argument.

" OH! So...you remember Sunnie?"

" Uh...who?"

" SUNOO YOU DUMBSHIT."

" oh...OH! Yeah. What about him?"

" Sooooooo, Sunnie told me that his crush finally noticed him, and those two began to talk. AND...he told me that they have been hanging out almost like every single day."

" Actually? Lucky him. Who's his crush though?"

Chan was silent for a moment before saying, " I can't tell you. I promised Sunnie that I wouldn't tell anyone, and I'm loyal so...sorry Hao."

" Wow. Channie. Is Sunnie more important than us now?" Soonyoung suddenly said, dramatically wailing out loud, with the addition of fake tears.

" What the fuck Soonyoung. Are you okay?" Hao asked, very concerned at his friends.

" Yeah, I'm fine. Just sad that Channie is not loyal to us anymore...sniffle."

" Did...you, just say sniffle out loud, instead of doing it?"Chan asked, " I don't think you're okay..."

" Since when was Soonyoung ever okay? Chan, you and I have been with him for a decade. In that entire decade, when was he ever okay?"Hao said, which caused Chan to laugh and Soonyoung to fake cry even more.

" So mean. Haooo."Soonyoung cried.

" Ehehehehe." Was only Hao's reply. Fuckkk...I love them so much.

As the night was turning midnight, the only thing that could be heard from Hao's room was laughter and more laughter. The three friends talked all night and had a blast at it. Only down side from it was that each of them still had classes tomorrow. But that's a later problem, the only thing that should be focused right now is chilling with best friends.
