Distant Luminosity | Hanjoo

Chapter Twenty-Two

- Byungjoo -

The next few days were great, Hansol and I spent time together with no one interrupting. Well, Eomma interrupted a few times of us cuddling but I mean–

Have I mentioned that Hyosang is gay? He told me and Hansol when I returned from my suspension. Glad to see Sanggyun was still nowhere to be found after I'd beat the shit out of him.

Jiho seemed much happier, though, which I'm guessing his friend went through with his surgery and is recovering. I mean, he mentioned Hojoon being much better now, but still wanting to die for some unexplained reason other than "C tells him shit". Not judging, I just don't know who this 'C' guy is.

A week passed and now, as I'm yanking Hansol down the hall for Psychology, we are encountered by a young male with Jiho. He smiled to us before reaching out to hug me. His touch was soft, almost too soft. It was weird though, all of this happened in a matter of seconds.

"Thank you." He said quietly, and Jiho stepped forward.

"This is Hojoon."

I took a second look at the boy, who was now standing front from me. He was wearing long sleeves, which I knew exactly why, and an odd necklace was worn. It was some stone carved into a skull, with some magnet thing over the top. I've seen that from somewhere before, but oh well, it didn't matter at that time.

There was awkward silence before Hojoon tugged on Jiho's arm. He then looked at Hojoon with a knowing expression and quickly bid us farewell.

I'll admit the Hojoon guy was cute, but never as cute as Hansol.

More weeks were going by and nothing much was happening. Hansol went with Hojoon somewhere, I didn't know they were close, and I was stuck alone for the evening. I was browsing through the internet and before I knew it, I was listening to a song that caught my attention. I listened carefully to the English lyrics as I watched the Korean translation upon the screen.

"When I was younger," I began to repeat.

Time skipped to when Hansol was dropped off to my house and Eomma was squealing loud enough for me to hear from my room. I quickly exited out of the tabs to hide it from Hansol and hurried out to tackle him with a bunch of kisses to his face. Eomma was squealing even more to that, but none of us really cared that she saw.

Please welcome our biggest shipper of all: My mother.

Night came soon, and Hansol couldn't sleep which neither could I, so we stayed up. Hansol was resting his head on my lap and he made some comment. "I've never realized how sexy you are, Joo."

I paused the movie we were watching and leaned down to clash our lips together. It wasn't long before I pulled away to say, "You're quite sexy yourself, you know."

He reached his arm up and pulled me back down to kiss him again.
