MY rain ~ MY love

LOML

Seungcheol woke up as the first rays of sunlight came through the curtains. He blinked a few times, feeling the warmth of the morning. When he turned his head, he saw Jeonghan still sleeping peacefully next to him. A smile crept onto Seungcheol’s face. Jeonghan looked perfect in the soft morning light, even with his messy hair.

As Seungcheol lay there, he remembered the night before. He had finally told Jeonghan how he felt, and Jeonghan had smiled and said yes. It all still felt like a dream, and his heart raced as he recalled the way they had held each other. For the first time in a long while, everything seemed right in the world.

Seungcheol sighed quietly, careful not to wake Jeonghan. He thought about giving him a gentle kiss but decided not to. They had agreed to keep their relationship private for now, at least until they were sure of things. Instead, Seungcheol quietly slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom. He splashed some water on his face, trying to calm the blush that spread across his cheeks as he thought about Jeonghan.

A soft knock on the door broke his thoughts. When Seungcheol opened it, he saw Jeonghan standing there, looking sleepy with his hair still messy.

"Need the bathroom?" Seungcheol asked, stepping aside.

Jeonghan nodded and grabbed his toothbrush. “Yeah, just brushing my teeth,” he said, his voice still thick with sleep.

Seungcheol leaned against the sink, smiling as he watched Jeonghan brush his teeth. There was something about Jeonghan’s calmness that always drew him in. Without thinking, Seungcheol moved closer, wrapping his arms around Jeonghan and pressing soft kisses to his neck. Jeonghan froze for a second but then relaxed into Seungcheol’s arms, smiling a little.

“Cheol,” Jeonghan whispered. “We should be getting ready. The others are waiting.”

“I know,” Seungcheol mumbled, his lips brushing Jeonghan’s skin. “Just a few more kisses.”

Jeonghan closed his eyes and leaned back into Seungcheol’s embrace. But their moment was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

“Hey, hurry up in there! I need the bathroom!” Dino’s voice came through the door, startling them both.

They quickly jumped apart, and Jeonghan’s eyes went wide. “Oh no, Dino’s here!” he whispered, his face turning red with panic.

Seungcheol chuckled softly. “Relax, he doesn’t know anything.”

Jeonghan shot him a look, quickly finished up, and rushed out of the bathroom. “I’m serious, Cheol! We can’t let them find out yet,” he whispered before hurrying into the hallway.

Seungcheol just smiled to himself, knowing they’d have to be more careful.

Later, the group gathered in the hotel dining room for breakfast. The table was filled with food—pancakes, eggs, toast, fruit, and coffee. They chatted excitedly about their plans for the day.

“So, where are we headed today?” Joshua asked, sipping his coffee.

“I was thinking Hallasan National Park,” Mingyu said. “The hike is supposed to be amazing, and the views are incredible.”

“That sounds perfect,” Jeonghan added, doing his best to act normal. “I’ve always wanted to hike Hallasan.”

Seungcheol, sitting next to Jeonghan, nodded. “Yeah, and maybe after that, we can visit Seongsan Ilchulbong. The views from the top are supposed to be breathtaking.”

Dino, halfway through his breakfast, grinned. “And we’re hitting the beach afterward, right? I’m not leaving Jeju without chilling by the ocean.”
