In Time | HyungWonho

Chapter 5

"Hyungwon!" Hoseok whisper screams again and pulls the other boy into his flat. He quickly closes the door and pulls him a tight hug, while he buries his face in his shoulder. Hyungwon awkwardly replies it.

"I was so worried." Hoseok says and hugs him even tighter. "You didn't reply any of my messages, nor could I reach you via call. I really thought there was anything that happened to you."

Hyungwon shakes his head and slowly breaks the hug. He earns a displeased look from Hoseok, but tries to ignore it. "I just..." He starts his sentence, not really knowing what he wants to tell him.

"It's complicated I guess... but now I got thrown out my flat." He exhales and looks at Hoseok with a guilty face. "I am sorry. I truly am."

Hoseok smiles. "It's fine. I see you're alright now. But still... the last days weren't easy for me."

"W-why?" Hyungwon asks with a blunt face.

"Because I was so damn afraid that you are dead." Hoseok states and tries to look at him with a stern face. "Never do that again."

"I won't. I promise."

Hoseoks nods. "Now put off your clothes and come in." The older boy says. "I've just made dinner so please eat something, you don't look good."

"But you won't have anything then."

"I've made enough for two days so don't worry. It's enough for both."

He nods while he follows Hoseok into the kitchen, where he slowly sits down. Hyungwon looks around and discovers things he hadn't seen the last time.

A few seconds after he sat down, Hoseok puts a plate full of food in front of the boy.

"So, is there a reason why you came exactly to my house?" Hoseok asks as he sits down as well and starts eating.

"No." Hyungwon states and Hoseok laughs. "I was lost in my thoughts and suddenly I was here. Maybe because this is the only place I share recent positive memories with."

Hoseok nods again. "Must've been fate."

"I don't believe in fate, nor do I believe in miracles. This is just stupid. These things didn't help me in any way, in my past life."

"Uh-huh?" Hoseok looks at him with a serious face. "So, you don't think it's fate that I passed the bridge right when you were about to jump, nor is it a miracle that I was so friendly to take you home and offer you a place to sleep? It wasn't fate that you, lost in your thoughts showed up in this place again? Are you really that sure that these things don't exist?"

Hyungwon shook his head. "For me this is just a bunch of coincidences. Why should it be fate all of the sudden?"

"You're serious?" He asks with big eyes, but after he sees Hyungwon's serious look he shakes his head. "Alright, I don't think I can change your mind now." He grins.

"Why are you grinning? Anything funny?"

"I guess." Hoseok still grinning, reaches out for Hyungwon's face to remove some food that was hanging on his lower lip. As his fingers brush over the younger boys' lips, he blushes a little and looks away, which Hoseok finds quiet amusing.

"Stop laughing." Hyungwon demands. "This is not funny."

"Well for me it is. I mean you are just so cute." Hoseok leans his face on his hand and grins at Hyungwon even more, causing Hyungwon to blush even more.
