detention [h.hj x k.sm]

twenty six

Seungmin was looking forward to that message Hyunjin said he'd send him, he was hopeful he would receive a response to his rambling earlier but if he didn't that would've been okay however he didn't get any message. Seungmin was worried, 'what if he doesn't ever want to talk to me anymore?' 'What if I fucked up by saying that I think I like him?' 'What is wrong with you, you should've just kept your mouth shut like usual' he checked his phone one last time before begrudgingly falling asleep at one in the morning.

He woke up a few hours later, neck stiff and sore from sleeping on it wrong and fingers tingling with the feeling of the blood rushing back into them and that reminded him that he had to message Jisung and see if he was okay from yesterdays incident, he picked up his phone, hopeful that Hyunjin had messaged him lingering at the back of his thoughts but he pushed those thoughts aside and focused on Jisung.

Seungmin placed his phone on the bed beside him and yawned, early light streaming in through his blinds and birds starting their annoyingly chirpy sounds as he got up and got dressed for school.

The day went by boringly, Minho and Jisung weren't at school, Woojin had course work every Thursday so he didn't come to school and Hyunjin never showed up, which sent Seungmin into panic about Hyunjin hating him so much he didn't even come to school. Lunch was horrible, every time Changbin flirted with Felix, or Jeongin placed a kiss on Chan's cheek it was like life was rubbing it in his face that he messed up probably his only chance at ever having someone that may like him.

He walked out the school doors and towards the front gates, eyes widening when he saw Hyunjin standing there, head down as he stared at the ground. Seungmin's heart must've started having a boxing match with itself from how fast it was beating from anxiousness, he held his head low in the hopes that Hyunjin wouldn't spot him but that wasn't the case, instead it seemed Hyunjin was waiting for him because when Seungmin stepped past him Hyunjin had lightly grabbed the hem of his school shirt, making Seungmin stop in his tracks at he looked down at Hyunjin's shaky hand, gripping onto Seungmin's shirt as if it was like he was hanging on the edge of a cliff, Seungmin lifted his head, eyes landing on Hyunjin's red, glassy eyes and giant, purple bags hanging underneath as his lip quivered tremendously. Seungmin's eyes widened even more as he grabbed Hyunjin's hand and dragged him out of the crowd of students, "Hyunjinnie are you okay?" He asked softly, Hyunjin shook his head in reply, "do you want to come to my house?" Seungmin asked again, his eyebrows creasing slightly in confusion when Hyunjin nodded, a few tears spilling from his eyes as he wiped them away with the palm of his hand and gripped onto Seungmin's hand even tighter as they started walking in the direction of Seungmin's house.

Hyunjin had started crying by the time they reached Seungmin's house but he was stifling his sobs, tears silently flowing which only worried Seungmin more as he unlocked the front door with the spare key kept under the matt, he lead Hyunjin inside and the two of them slipped their shoes off and stepped into the living room, "do you wanna go up to my room or stay down here?" Seungmin asked softly. Hyunjin, still not speaking, just pointed to the stairs, a nod of confirmation coming from Seungmin as he walked up the stairs, the other still gripping his hand as if it were a lifeline.

They walked into Seungmin's room and Hyunjin immediately wrapped his arms around Seungmin and buried his head into the latter's chest, unable to contain his emotions as his tears flowed out and his breathing became uncontrollable. Seungmin panicked, unsure of what to do, so he wound his arms around his waist and rubbed comforting circles into Hyunjin's back and placed his chin on the others shoulder, "hey its okay, what happened?" He asked, keeping his voice low so he didn't startle him.

Hyunjin shook his head, sobs reverberating around the room, he wasn't quite ready to talk yet and Seungmin understood that, he just needed to be comforted and reassured, Hyunjin had to know that Seungmin was trust worthy enough to tell him his secrets and not have to feel like much more of a burden than usual. Seungmin ran his fingers through Hyunjin's hair, whispering small comforting words to try and calm him down and it was working, Hyunjin's shuddering breaths broke into small hiccups and his tears subsided, they broke apart and Hyunjin scrubbed at his eyes and sat on the bed, patting the spot next to him for Seungmin to sit down so he can explain.

It was hard but he felt like he had to talk to Seungmin about it, he usually went to Woojin but he'd gone to him so many times he was afraid the older would get upset or angry from the amount of times Hyunjin had already broke down in his arms he was fearful that if he did once more Woojin wouldn't want to deal with him anymore. He did trust Seungmin, he knew he could rely on him, even if Seungmin was disgusted and never spoke to him again or he shut off his feelings for him and Hyunjin would be left with a horrible one sided love, he knew Seungmin could comfort him now and hate him later at the very least. He breathed in shakily, doubts rushing about through his brain as he close his eyes and heavily exhaled.
