Our Love | Jeongcheol

ten

The past week hadn't been easy on Seungcheol. Jeonghan had been acting like a bratty toddler on a sugar high. He would ignore Seungcheol one moment, demand attention the next, and throw mini tantrums over the most insignificant things.

Whether it was hogging the remote, insisting on Seungcheol peeling every tangerine for him, or sulking dramatically when he didn't get his way, Jeonghan had been testing every ounce of Seungcheol's patience.

"Hannie, could you please return my shirt?" Seungcheol said sweetly, trying to get his boyfriend to comply. Jeonghan, who was lounging comfortably on the sofa, completely ignored him and continued to chew on his tangerines happily.

Seungcheol's left eye twitched as he tried to hold himself together. They had practice in less than two hours and Jeonghan wasn't being very helpful.

"Hannie, baby, please-"

"Peel it" Jeonghan cut off Seungcheol, raising the tangerine in the older's face, still looking at the TV not seeing the steam leaving his boyfriend's ears.

"So this is when you choose to speak to me?"

Hearing the slightly bitter tone in Seungcheol's voice, Jeonghan looked at him confused, unsure why he was suddenly mad. "I just asked you to peel the-"

"I know. Peel the tangerine. Which I would love to do for you if you just gave me my shirt and got ready to leave!"

Hurt flashed in Jeonghan's expression and he got up "I didn't know I was such a burden to you" he mumbled and stomped away to the room, before stopping halfway and saying "And I'm not giving you the shirt!"

Seungcheol wanted to kick someone in the face.

"Han-"

"I can't hear you" the other childishly yelled from their room.

Seungcheol stood frozen for a moment after watching Jeonghan storm off with an exaggerated pout.

Wonwoo, who witnessed the whole ordeal, huffed out a laugh before quickly stopping himself when the frustrated leader glared at him.

"Not a word," Seungcheol muttered, already feeling the heat rise in his cheeks.

"He's just trying to get on your nerves. Calm down and go talk to him" Jisoo said, patting him on his back as he took the tangerine from his hand and started peeling it.

Seungcheol mumbled a bunch of swear words to himself, heading toward the room where Jeonghan had disappeared.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Jeonghan, sprawled dramatically across the bed, his arms crossed and his face in full pout mode.

Noticing the older walking towards him, Jeonghan flipped to his side, turning his back to Seungcheol who rolled his eyes. "You're such a baby" the leader sighed, picking Jeonghan up with no struggle and placing him on his lap. Seungcheol smiled a bit to himself when he felt Jeonghan's baby bump poke him.

"Get away," Jeonghan mumbled, still pouting and looking away, but made no effort to push away Seungcheol, silently enjoying the warmth.

"Look at me," the older said but Jeonghan shook his head, forcing his eyes closed as Seungcheol tried to make him look.

The older sighed again. "Hannie—"

"Don't call me that"

"Fine, then. Yoon Jeonghan, could you tell me why you were ignoring me a few moments ago?" he asked softly as if he were talking to a child.

Jeonghan mumbled something but the older couldn't hear him well. Seungcheol leaned in a bit closer, trying to catch his boyfriend's words, but Jeonghan just buried his face deeper into his shoulder, his voice muffled.
