When Love Comes

Confused

Wonshik's POV
Nightfall came upon us, and so did the lightning.

"WONSHIK!!!" Taekwoon screamed, covering his eyes.

"Ssh..." I hugged him, and rubbed his back. "I'm here, okay?" I tried reassuring him.

We were sitting on the lower bunk, waiting for Jiseong to tell us that lights were going out soon.

"O-Okay..." Taekwoon said, taking in deep breaths.

"LIGHTS OUT EVERYONE!!!" Jiseong yelled throughout our section. He came up to our cell and smiled. "Take care of him, and try not to be loud tonight." He smirked, then walked away.

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT OKAY??" I yelled, slowly rocking Taekwoon back and forth.

"P-Please don't yell Wonshik." Taekwoon pleaded, looking up at me.

"Okay Taekwoon, I won't yell." I smiled. "Do you want to lay down?"

"Can you... Can you just hold me for a little while longer, please?" He asked softly.

I chuckled softly at his cuteness, and nodded my head. "Of course Taekwoon." I wrapped my arms around him, and continued rubbing his back.

"Thank you Wonshik." He thanked me quietly, and laid down on my shoulder.

"Why don't I tell you a small story?" I suggested. "To get your mind off things."

"Y-Yes please."

"Just close your eyes and listen. That's all you have to do, alright?"

"Okay Wonshik." He giggled, and made sure to cover his eyes with his hands.

"Once there was a small wolf cub. By day he would stay on all fours, living his normal life. However, by night, he stood on two legs, and had lost all his fur. It was like he got reborn every single night."

"Did he become human at night?" Taekwoon interrupted, and asked curiously.

"Ssh... Let me continue." I chuckled.

"Okay.." He pouted.

"So every night, he would run around, feeling free and feeling joyous. Then one night, he heard someone or something, singing. He decided to follow the sweet sounds, and found a lonely figure in a tower. He watched him from afar, and continued listening to the male sing. Night after night, instead of running around and exploring the forest; he'd run back to the tower, and listen to how the male sang and sang. Each time he heard the song, he became so in love with it, and wished to climb the tower and speak with the male."

"Did he fulfill his wish and speak with the singing male?" Taekwoon asked.

"As a matter of fact, he did." I answered. "He started singing along with the male one night, which caught his attention. He looked down to the transformed wolf and said, "You there, where did you learn to sing so beautifully?" The transformed wolf answered, "From hearing your lovely voice. Please, sing some more." And from that night forth, there wasn't a single night where he wouldn't go and visit the singing male."

Taekwoon yawned, and looked at me. "Where did you learn such a story?"

"My mother." I answered with a smile. "Why don't we lie down Taekwoon? You seem to be getting tired."

"Alright." He nodded, then the both of us laid down on the small bed. We both laid on our sides, and looked at each other's faces.

"T-Taekwoon..." I said.

"Yes Wonshik?"

"Do you... D-Do you want to lay on my chest?" I asked awkwardly. "I-I mean, you may be more comfortable and-"

"It's alright Wonshik." He chuckled at my nervousness. "I-If it's okay with you, can I?"

"S-Sure!" I laughed, and ruffled his hair. Then I laid down on my back, and he placed his head on top of my chest. "I think you're slowly getting over your fear Taekwoon." I smiled, and wrapped my arm around him.

"I-I guess so, huh?" He chuckled, and played with my shirt. "It.. It's because of you Wonshik..."

"Me?" I laughed. "What did I do?"

"I-I don't know..." He answered. "I mean, Hakyeon helps me too, but you could say I feel a bit more safer with you... Even if Hakyeon is my boyfriend.."

"I guess that makes me like your pretend-boyfriend, right?" I laughed at my joke. "I-I only meant that as a joke, n-nothing serious..." I told him.

What if he took that the wrong way?? Oh jeez... Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

"Y-Yeah, I guess." He laughed softly. "So we're pretend-dating in a way..."

"I guess so." I chuckled. "How does it feel to be pretend-dating me?"

"Feels pretty good." He giggled, and gently kissed my cheek. "O-Oh... I-I'm-"

"Thank you Taekwoon." I laughed. "That pretend-kiss made me actually smile."

"U-Uh..." He blushed. "Y-You're welcome?"

I leaned over (ish) and gently pressed my lips against his blushing cheek. I mean, I have to repay the favour, right?

"T-Thank you for the pretend-kiss Wonshik..." Taekwoon said softly.

"Anytime, my pretend-boyfriend."

We both laughed quietly, making sure we don't get in trouble.

Tonight was different from before, like WAY different. Tonight I actually felt happy, and my heart was pounding against my chest. I usually feel like this if I have a crush on someone, or something like that... But I can't have a crush on him!!! He has a boyfriend!!!

These moments just made me super confused....
