sonder {a seungjin fic}

| 15 |

dusk is settling on the small town as hyunjin and seungmin walk silently to the unknown destination.

seungmin breathes in the cold air, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

he likes knowing that hyunjin is right beside him. it makes him feel protected, like nothing in the world can take this happy feeling away from him.

hyunjin suddenly stops and turns to the other boy. "close your eyes," he says.

seungmin furrows his brows but complies. hyunjin smiles at the soft sight.

he grabs seungmin's hand and enters the building, carefully maneuvering seungmin through and up the stairs.

seungmin is beyond curious, his confusion refusing to go away. he feels cold air hit him all of a sudden and comes to the conclusion that they are somewhere outside.

"okay," hyunjin says, letting go of seungmin's hand. "you can open your eyes now."

seungmin slowly opens them, waiting a couple seconds for them to adjust.

his breath catches in his throat as he observes his surroundings.

they are standing in a rooftop garden, overlooking the entire city.

the sight is quite beautiful, and seungmin has to take a couple looks to believe he's not dreaming.

"i found this place some time ago," hyunjin says, refusing to look at seungmin and opting for staring at the view. "i wanted to show it to you."

seungmin nods. "thanks," he breathes out, "it's gorgeous."

hyunjin refrains from saying the cliche remark that forms in his mind.

minutes pass, or maybe hours, seungmin isn't sure. he's just enjoying the picture of the sun setting low on the horizon, mixed in with an array of colors all blending together to form a painting more beautiful than anything seungmin could imagine.

although, he does think that hyunjin is more beautiful than the view that's in front of him.

"why did you bring me here?" seungmin asks.

he then thinks his question over. "i-i mean, i love it, don't get me wrong, but...is there a specific reason?" he clarifies.

everything in hyunjin is telling him to confess. his heart beats loudly and his hands shake. his mind is shouting for hyunjin to speak. his mouth almost opens on its own accord.

but soon hyunjin gains control, shutting down his mind, berating himself for almost confessing.

"i just wanted to show you something... beautiful, i guess," he says instead, "sort of like, letting you know more about me."

seungmin nods. he admits he's a little let down, but soon curses himself for hoping that hyunjin would confess.

"well, thank you," seungmin says, "once again."

hyunjin nods and stuffs his hands inside his jacket.

"we should get going," he says, "before it gets too dark."

seungmin agrees, following hyunjin out of the building and into the cold night.
