Sempiternal ♢ Jicheol

More fluff 

Jihoon was shaking. No- he was trembling. Why, you ask? He's about to perform in front of hundreds of people, alone. His hands were sweating a lot and his knees were shaking. Jihoon started to curse under his breath when he remembered why he was a part of this contest in the first place.

It was all because of his bestfriend, Seungcheol. If it wasn't for his endless pursuing and cringe-worthy aegyo, he wouldn't be here right now. Seungcheol forced Jihoon to join the singing contest because he said, and as Jihoon quote, "you have an amazing voice and I bet you'd melt every single person's heart".

His thoughts suddenly got interrupted when a pair of hands were placed on top of his shoulders to stop it from shaking. He looked up and saw a grinning Seungcheol.

"You fucking sap." Jihoon cursed before hitting his bestfriend on the back of his head. Seungcheol feigned hurt and started laughing, Jihoon joining after a few seconds.

"Don't worry, Ji. You'll get the first place, I'm sure of that." Seungcheol gave the smaller one a wink, before pushing him towards the stage.

Jihoon didn't notice that his name was already called, and so he walked towards the middle of the stage.

After his heart-wrecking and mind blowing performance, Jihoon waved and bowed towards the crowd. The emcee then called every performers to come on stage, each one of them lining up in a straight line.

Jihoon's heart was trembling once again. "You'll get the first place, Jihoon. Calm the fuck down." He gave himself a pep talk. He glanced towards his right side when he heard a 'psst' coming from there. He saw Seungcheol give him a thumbs up and a wink. Jihoon nodded as a response.

"The third place goes to Joshua Hong!"

Jihoon released a heavy sigh he didn't knew he was holding. He thought he was going to get called, but luckily, he didn't.

"Second place goes to Jeonghan Yoon!"

His mind went blank. The next thing he knows, he's receiving a huge trophy and some flowers. The emcee was congratulating Jihoon along with the other contestants.

As he walked backstage, he placed the trophy beside his bag and plopped down on the sofa. But before his butt can even touch the soft cushions, he was engulfed in a hugged by no other than Choi Seungcheol.

"Congratulations, Jihoonie! I told you, you can get the first place! I knew you could beat them all! Let me give you a big hug and..... wow, you're warm..." Seungcheol trailed off as his arms got tighter around Jihoon.

The smaller boy looked up at his bestfriend with a confused look on his face. He was about to ask something, but he was interrupted with a kiss. A kiss that was passionate. Jihoon responded immediately, surprising himself. Seungcheol's mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than he could have imagined.

Seungcheol parted away too early for Jihoon's liking. The older boy gave Jihoon a sweet smile before hugging him tightly once again.

"You're not the only one who won today. I also won. I won you."
