continuation of the last chapter
Seungcheol's POV
When Jeonghan pulled away and opened his eyes, I was suddenly away of how stiff my body was. I didn't move, I didn't react, I didn't even kiss back! I'm such a fucking idiot!!! I've been waiting for this moment for months and when it finally came I froze. My heart was beating fast in my chest, I was sure he could hear it. I tried my hardest to control my breathing as Jeonghan stared deep into my fucking soul. Jeonghan suddenly looked away from me as realization of the situation seemed to hit him.
"Um... I'm sorry." he said, standing up and walking out of the room. He shut the door behind him and left me sitting there in complete, utter shock. I looked at Simba, who cocked his head at me. Not a care in the world. I pat his head. If only he knew what just happened.
My heart rate didn't slow down as I processed what just happened. Jeonghan kissed. He fucking kissed. Then again my stupid ass dared him too. He was probably only trying to prove me wrong. And, boy, did he.
Jeonghan's POV
That was a horrible idea. I thought as I closed the door behind me. I sighed in relief of being out of that room. My stomach was bursting with butterflies, big and small. My heart was beating fast and I didn't know what to do. I normally would say I have no idea what just happened. However, I know exactly what I just did. I ruined my friendship with Seungcheol.
It's going to be awkward between us now. He obviously knows I like him, otherwise I wouldn't have done what I did. I shouldn't have done that. That was a mistake.
I shook my head, rubbed my eyes and went downstairs.
Seungcheol's POV
I sat there, on Jeonghan's bed, for a good ten minutes, just processing. I couldn't stop asking myself why he kissed me? I was just joking. He knew that. So why did he do that? Is there a possibility that he likes me? I mean, maybe that's why he was so hurt when I 'didn't trust' him.
I went downstairs to get some food from the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen, Jeonghan was there, looking for something in the fridge. He didn't turn to look at me but I saw him tense up and I knew he knew I was there. I couldn't turn around, however, then he'd think I was avoiding him. So, I walked to the pantry and looked inside for something.
On one hand, I don't want this one kiss to have an affect on how we act around each other. It would be easier to just forget it ever happened. But the thing is, I can't forget. I've had a crush on this guy for as long as I can remember and he just kissed me. Would you be able to just forget? I think not.
On the other hand, I don't want us to stay the same either. I don't want him to just be my friend, or just my roommate. I want more than that. I want him to be mine. I want to be able to walk around, holding hands with him. I want our hugs to be more intimate. I want to be able to kiss him again, and for it to be someone we do often. I want that to be our normal.
I heard the refrigerator door close but I kept my eyes on the pantry. I heard Jeonghan's footsteps approach me and my heart rate speeded up. I tried my hardest to control my breathing and made as much noise as possible to keep him from hearing the sound of my heart ramming into my ribcage over and over again. Jeonghan took a small breath and I waited for him to say something.
"I like you." I heard him say.
I turned around to look at him a little faster than I had intended. I stared at Jeonghan as he avoided my gaze by staring at the floor. His hair was brushed to perfection, his eyes sparkled as he finally looked up at me, his lips a perfect pink.
I'm so gone for this boy.
As Jeonghan and I stared at each other, I considered my options. But before I could do anything, my heart took control over me. I took three steps towards Jeonghan, our chests now inches apart as well as our faces, and before I knew it, I had both my hands on either side of Jeonghan's face, closed my eyes, and kisses him again.
This kiss was more passionate and longer than the last. The first one had merely been a peck and I was stiff as fuck, but this one was different. Our lips moved together in perfect motions as Jeonghan's hands came to rest on my waist. My tongue swiped against Jeonghan's bottom lip, begging for entrance. I was in control at first, but Jeonghan quickly took over.
Jeonghan and I heard something coming from the bottom of the stairs. We hesitantly pulled apart and glanced over to see Winter running up the stairs with great speed. We both chuckled and looked back at each other. I tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear and looked into his eyes again. We were still pressed against each other. I rested my forehead on his.
"Jeonghan?" I said. He hummed in response. "Will you be my boyfriend?" I finally asked. It took me months to pluck up the courage to do it but I finally asked the question.
I saw Jeonghan small smile grow into a big one as he nodded in response and hugged me. I sighed in relief as I hugged him back.
He was finally mine.

Jeonghan's POV
Seungcheol and I were cuddled up on the couch watching a movie together. It's only been a few hours, and I don't think I've ever been this happy. Not even when I thought I had a shot with Jungkook.
I rested my head on Seungcheol's chest and he rested his head on mine. Suddenly, I heard the front door open. Jun, Mingyu, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino, Joshua, Hoshi, Woozi, Dokyum, and Minghao came striding side by side into the living room. When they saw our position, they all audibly gasped and some even put their hand on their heart.
"Depuis quand?" said Jun. I frowned as Minghao punched Jun's arm.
"Quit it with your french." he muttered.
"Seriously though, since when?" asked Mingyu.
"Earlier today." said Seungcheol casually, with a grin tugging at his lips.
"Well congratumalatons." said Seungkwan.
"Congratuma what?" said Dokyum. We all laughed, but I noticed how Vernon was looking at the floor, biting his lip, and smiling only slightly. I frowned at him but ignored it.
"Never mind. That's great guys!" said Wonwoo. The boys all took their seats on couches and chairs and even on the floor to join us in watching our movie. They seemed to take advantage of the fact that I had a few snack bowls on the table.
"How did you guys even get in?" asked Seungcheol.
"Yeah, I'd like to know that myself." I said, frowning. "The door was locked. It's always locked."
No one said anything, but Mingyu simply threw something at us and Seungcheol caught it. He held it up so we could see that it was a lock picking kit.
"You're a dick." said Seungcheol, shaking his head at Mingyu.
"It's a good thing you're gay, then." said Mingyu.
