my little listener ( Seungin ff )

Jeongin opened his arms wide, inviting Seungmin into his embrace.
Seungmin didn't hesitate. He moved into Jeongin's arms. His arms wrapped around his waist and crooked his face on his shoulder, Jeongin could feel the tension and pain in Seungmin's muscles. His one hand coming up to rub slow circles over his back. He could feel Seungmin's breath, erratic and shaky against his shoulder.
"It's okay, Everything will be alright soo." Jeongin whispered with  soft voice against Seungmin's ear. He continued to rub his hand over Seungmin's back gently,
"Don't worry"
Seungmin clung to Jeongin like he was the last solid thing in a world that was falling apart around him.

Minho had been looking everywhere for Seungmin after knowing he had argument with his dad again.. his worry growing with every minute that passed without finding him. His chest was heaving, his heart thudding from the frantic pace. As he rounded the corner, his eyes landed on Jeongin and Seungmin, their backs facing him as they embraced on the bench. Minho's heart felt a strange flutter at the sight, a mixture of relief and..

He stood there for a moment, watching the two boys. he could see the protective way Jeongin was holding Seungmin in his arms, not wanting to intrude on this intimate moment.
He continued to watch Jeongin and Seungmin, his gaze thoughtful but also a little amused. He had seen the growing closeness between the two boys for a while now.
"Why don't they just accept their feelings" minho thought as he observed them. The chemistry between them, the way Jeongin's touch soothed Seungmin, the way Seungmin leaned into Jeongin's embrace. it was so obvious, even if they were both too scared to admit it out loud.
Minho left the place with relief knowing Seungmin safe around jeongin.

Seungmin's arms tightened around Jeongin's body as if he was afraid the jeongin would disappear if he let go.
"Thank you" his voice was raspy
Jeongin looked down at Seungmin, whose face was still buried in his shoulder.
"For what?" Jeongin asked, his voice gentle.
Seungmin shifted slightly
"For- for being here, For not leaving, for listening me" He trailed off, swallowing.
Jeongin's heart ached at Seungmin's voice. "You don't have to say thank you for that, You don't have to thank me for caring."
He pushed Seungmin a little to see redden cheek, his hand moving up to gently caressing it. The action was a gesture of comfort and care.
"It hurts?" Jeongin asked caressing softly.
"A little" Seungmin confirmed but didn't want to show weakness so said like casually.

Jeongin's lips  gently over the red mark on Seungmin's cheek, the kiss a tender gesture of care. Seungmin's eyes widened
"Now still hurts?" Jeongin asked teasingly.
Seungmin blushing mess
"We're acting like elementary kids"
Jeongin laughed at his reply
"I was just trying to be cringe. Does it hurt now or not?"
Seungmin shook his head chuckling "i feel better now"

Jeongin's eyes softened at Seungmin's response. "Good," he said.
"You should never hurt, No one should make you feel the way your father does."
Seungmin lowered his head on Jeongin's shoulder again to feel the warm.

Jeongin offered Seungmin to come  his house for dinner
"Come to house today then..my mom making a delicious dinner tonight" this wasn't just about the meal. It was a silent gesture, an invitation to a warm, safe space filled with people who care.
Seungmin lifted his head  "Are you sure? you want me to come?" he asked,
Jeongin smiled, a warm, reassuring smile that made Seungmin's heart flutter harder.

Seungmin followed Jeongin towards his house, his steps more uncertain but his heart feeling a bit lighter.
They stood in front of the door, the silence between them slightly tense. Jeongin glanced over at Seungmin, seeing the flicker of nervousness in his eyes. "My mom's going to love seeing you again" he said quietly.

Just then, the door swung open to reveal Jeongin's mother . a woman with kind eyes and a soft smile. She glanced from Jeongin to Seungmin, her smile widening. "Seungmin! How have you been? Come inside." she said, her voice warm and welcoming.
Jeongin's mom stepped back, beckoning them into the house. Jeongin smiled at Seungmin and gave him an encouraging nudge.
