New Beginnings- Jicheol

Chapter 7

"Close your eyes," Jihoon told Seungcheol as he started on his eye makeup. He had already finished Wonwoo, which was basically black eyeshadow and eyeliner and let him do whatever with some tinted lip balm. Seungcheol did as told and felt Jihoon come closer and start applying the eye shadow. Nobody knew how Jihoon was able to do makeup but they all thought it was because his older brother's girlfriend wouldn't leave him alone and constantly annoyed him and gave him makeovers. Jihoon felt uneasy as he applied the red eyeshadow on Seungcheols' eyelids and waterline. He didn't know why his heart was feeling like this. They were three inches apart. He realized how long Seungcheol's eyelashes were and couldn't help but stare at how delicate his features were. He continued blending out the eyeshadow until he noticed that an eyelash fell onto Seungcheol's cheek. Without thinking, he gently brushed it off with his middle finger, which prompted Seungcheol to open his eyes. He was trying to find words to say to the younger, but was left speechless. He felt like his heart was being squeezed and his face redden. Jihoon was frozen and continued to stare into Seungcheol's eyes. After a couple seconds, he snapped out of it and told Seungcheol to close his eyes. Seungcheol nodded and again did as told, but he couldn't help feeling as if that was a moment. Jihoon quickly finished up his eye makeup and set out to put the lip tint on Seungcheol. He uncapped the product and brought the applicator to the other's lips. Seungcheol felt as if Jihoon could hear his heart quicken. Jihoon felt even more uncomfortable and quickly put the product on Seungcheol's lips. He told Seungcheol, "Rub your lips together like this" as he demonstrated.

Seungcheol's breath was caught in his throat and just nodded, rubbing his lips. Jihoon rolled his eyes and took his finger to blend out the product. He felt his cheeks turn red and as soon as he was done, he muttered, "I'm going to the bathroom," and locked himself in there. Seungcheol was left with his mouth open. A million thoughts went through his mind. Soonyoung opened the door to see Seungcheol's pale face turn a bright pink.

"Whoa, what happened here?" Soonyoung stared at the brushes and makeup on the desk.

"Uh, Jihoon did my makeup," Seungcheol looked down at his phone.

"And that made you blush? Awww, what a child! That's such a precious relationship," Soonyoung poked fun at Seungcheol.

"Who did your lips? I remember two Halloweens ago, you tried to put on liptint or whatever and it got everywhere. Wait, did Jihoon do it? He did, didn't he? I knew it!" Soonyoung started shaking Seungcheol by the shoulders.

"Shut up," Jihoon muttered from the door, a deathly look on his face.

"It's not half bad. You did a good job, Jihoon," Soonyoung said cautiously, stepping back, holding up his Gryffindor robes.

"Of course I did," Jihoon scoffed, taking his costume out of the closet. He went back to the bathroom and changed into his costume as Seungcheol changed into his shirt that had rips on the front in Soonyoung and Jihoon's room. Jihoon walked back in wearing a white and black striped baseball player's uniform and a baseball cap.

"You're so cute," Seungcheol put his arms around Jihoon's from the back.

"I don't like being called that," Jihoon muttered, looking to the side. Soonyoung took that opportunity to whip out his phone and take photos.

"How cute," Soonyoung muttered, which caught Jihoon's attention.

"Give me that!" Jihoon reached for Soonyoung's phone, but Soonyoung jumped on his bed and stretched his arm up so it would be out of reach. Jihoon jumped on the bed too, but was suddenly carried off by someone.

"No fighting today, kids," Wonwoo said, carrying Jihoon out to the living room and throwing him on the couch before running back to Jihoon and Soonyoung's room and slamming the door shut.
