Wen Junhui

❝ I will love you unconditionally ❞

"Minghao? What are you doing here?" Junhui asked when he saw Minghao at his front door. "And how'd you find my house?"
"I came to see you!" The other replied. "And Emma gave me it because she said she went to your house one time."
"Why do you want to see me?"
"Because I have something to tell you."
Minghao noticed Junhui's eye bags and frowned.
"Have you been staying up? That isn't good for you, you know." Minghao cups Junhui's cheeks and carasses them.
Junhui, loving the affection, smiles and says, "Just homework."
Minghao nods and pulls away. "So... Um."
There was an awkward silence.
"Oh, right!" Junhui chuckles nervously. "Come in, come in."
Minghao smiles and quickly walks in, closing the door behind him.
"So, what did you want to tell me."
Minghao nervously sat down on Junhui's couch and smiled.
"I like you." He blurted out.
Junhui stared at him.
"Actually, I'm sorry. It's too late now. I'm being selfish and I - wait, why are you crying?"
Junhui covered his eyes. "You're not making fun of me, right? You really do like me?"
"Why would I make fun of you?"
Junhui smiled and wiped away his tears. He pulled Minghao into a hug.
"I honestly thought we weren't going to be friends anymore." Junhui laughed. "I had so much hope."
Junhui moved his head so he was now facing Minghao but his arms were still around his waist.
"But the string-" Minghao paused.
"String?" Junhui tilted his head to the side.
"Nothing." Minghao nervously laughed. "I thought you would get over me after I told you all that shit about me not liking you."
"I can't get over you THAT fast."
Minghao pulled away from Junhui's grasp. "Well, I gotta go now."
He was about to leave when Junhui tugged his sleeve.
"Just stay a little longer... Please?"
Minghao sighed and cuddled up to Junhui.
"Okay."

- I hope you're all healthy mentally and physically. I'm worried for everyone -
