Homeless ➹ 2jae [✓]

- 35 -

Shockingly, the final day before the new semester was calm. Youngjae sat on a bench in front of the university, his head hanging over the back; eyes closed, and breathing in the cold, white air. The sky was like a blank canvas waiting to be painted in blue and gold, but Youngjae found more comfort in the back of his eyelids.

"Hey, you~" he suddenly heard behind him. "Yah, you didn't seem phased by that at all..."

"If I'm already thinking about Im Jaebum, then Im Jaebum can't startle me. Right, Im Jaebum?" Youngjae opened his eyes, staring at his upside-down boyfriend smiling like an idiot before he leaned down to kiss him. Jaebum then walked around and sat next to Youngjae. "Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up."

"No, don't worry about it. I know you wanted to take your mom to the station." Youngjae snuggled his head into the crook of Jaebum's neck as he heard, "I have a proposal for you."

"Hm? What kind of proposal?"

"Well, uh... I want you to be on board with this before we make any decisions, okay?" Youngjae's eyes widened, and he nodded. "I met with Jackson and the Dean about an apartment for you. First off, we found an apartment that's perfect for... one. Uh—"

"Why do you sound nervous?" Youngjae chuckled.

"Yah, I haven't finished... Perfect for one, but there's room for another person if- if you want a roommate."

"Mhm." Youngjae tried to hide his smile, but found it difficult.

"What I'm thinking, though, is that I could... possibly move in with you at the end of the year."

"Ah- Are you serious?" Youngjae's expression suddenly turned shocked, but he smiled widely in a second.

"I mean... Yeah. Home..." he started, holding up one of his fingers, soon doing the same with one of Youngjae's. "Home is where two hearts..." he touched their fingers together, "become one, right?"

Youngjae couldn't help but laugh and blush like a kid. "That's true..." Soon, they were holding hands in the cold, body heat warming each other.

"You know, Youngjae... I want to have a home with you."
