sonder {a seungjin fic}

| 04 |

seungmin walks into the library, fully aware that his face is a deep shade of red, and his heart is beating faster than it ever has before.

he berates himself, shouting curse words in his head.

he can't believe how stupid he is. how absolutely painful that experience was.

but at least he got to see hyunjin's eyes. so he isn't that disappointed.

as he returns the book and begins looking for another, he recalls the situation that happened a couple minutes prior.

he squeezes his eyes shut and shakes his head. he doesn't want that experience to repeat itself, but he'd gladly do it again for a chance to see hyunjin.

◇────◇────◇

hyunjin leans against the wall, the sun fanning his cheeks.

although many people are excited and bustling at the new weather, hyunjin finds that he'd much rather it be rainy. he doesn't quite like how hot it is or how the sun temporarily blinds him.

he sighs while looking out into the crowd. he doesn't want to admit it, but deep inside he knows who he's looking for.

and there he sees him, walking past with another book in his hands.

hyunjin finds that he's staring longingly at the boy.

he notices the way his hands grip the book and how his feet trudge on the ground.

he notices seungmin's cheek bones and the silver bracelet that hangs delicately around his wrist.

but then he shakes his head, feeling a bit weirded out by himself. he shouldn't be noticing these things, he barely knows the boy.

he's expecting seungmin to continue on his way, like he does everyday. but then something happens.

seungmin maneuvers his way through the crowd until he's standing a couple feet away from hyunjin and then he...stops.

and hyunjin looks up...and into seungmin's eyes.

and he feels his heart flutter as if a thousand butterflies have penetrated it.

his breath hitches in his throat as the two boys stare at each other, neither of them moving and neither of them making a noise.

hyunjin doesn't know how long it's been, but he doesn't mind as he stares into his deep brown eyes.

"i'm seungmin."

the smooth voice shakes hyunjin and he focuses on the words.

"i already know that. it was written on the bookmark." hyunjin smiles a little.

seungmin's cheeks tint pink and he shifts his feet.

"o-oh," he says.

hyunjin can't help but smile at the flustered boy.

"i'm hyunjin."

seungmin looks up at hyunjin and nods his head. he's a bit flustered, not knowing exactly what to say or think. his brain is fuzzy from just being in hyunjin's presence.

so he quickly finds a way to get out of the situation so he can't embarrass himself more.

"i-i should go."

hyunjin nods and gives a small wave.

seungmin quickly rushes away, his face red and feet shuffling on the ground.
