love affair

HaJoon's POV:

The media is going crazy, rumors of a secret relationship being revealed in 2024 are going around and everyone is freaking out.
Fans are trying to figure out what relationship will be revealed. And companies and idols are freaking out about being the relationship that will be exposed.

Some couples are thinking about coming clean already and have been in the process of discussing their relationships with their companies.
All while we sit and watch... knowing we can't come clean even if us being in a relationship with each other we have to deny.

Deny the idea of us loving each other in any way other than platonically. Deny our true feelings. Deny, Deny, Deny.
Not only for the sake of our careers but for the sake of our sanity.

Gay men aren't accepted in Korea... they aren't accepted in places all over the world. But the fact that we're a GROUP of gay men... who are all dating each other...

That will truly cause havoc among the population of Korea. They wouldn't even acknowledge us and would toss us aside with disgust.

The thought of that terrifies us. The idea that we won't be able to love each other without someone having an opinion about it and then having more power over us merely because they disapprove.

Wooyoung and I have been extra clingy, trying to get as much cuddles in until they expose whoever it is they were planning on exposing.
Wooyoung worry's a lot... so he's definitely been extra affectionate with all of us, which i love but i hate the reasoning for it.

If only people could be who they are without random people who don't even know you having a negative opinion on it.

I sigh as the news talks about the supposed scandal to be exposed before i turn off the news and turn on netflix instead.
I turn a random movie on to block my thoughts out when i feel someone cuddle up into my side.

I look over and see Wooyoung who is looking up at me with glossy eyes making me sigh. "hello gorgeous" i mumble while pressing my lips to his forehead

"do you think they'll hate us" is all he says, not bothering to even reply to what i said. "if they do then they're miserable and upset that we're happy. they don't matter" i state firmly making him sniffle.

"they don't matter, the only opinions we need are each others" i state making him hum, "okay baby? don't worry" i say while stroking his hair back as he closes his eyes at my touch.

he only nods his head making me grab his chin and tilt it up so i can see his face, "words baby" i state making his eyes open, "okay" he responds making me hum before i lean down to press a kiss to his lips.

"just remember we all love you and each other, no matter what!" i remind him as a small smile forms on his face at my words. "okay" he whispers before his head snuggles into the curve of my neck once again, letting us settle into our comfort and falling asleep.
