How we fall in love || Ilsik-fanfiction

Prologue

Hi, so before you read this, here is the three things that I really want to let you guys know.

I am not using their real age here. So all of them are going to be younger than they are right now, maybe 5 or 4 years younger.They are not idols in the story, they are just ordinary university students. I have mentioned this before in my Author's note in the front page but let me just say it again. Well it is boy x boy ship. I do NOT say that they are gays in real life and they are obviously not. But this girl, right here, happens to be a fan of them and this is a fiction of mine so I am creating this gay characters. If you are unconfortable with this, just stop reading this or block me.

Prologue

There are so many ways that people could fall in love. Maybe just like some poets said, people fall in love while they are dancing together, or while talking about their future or while running under the rain. But those are just romantic ones.

There can be something like falling in love while just talking and laughing about memes or while jamming in the car or it could be while enjoying burgers and fries.

Whether people fall in love in some mysterious ways or simple ways, the fact that they found love is just so beautiful. And I have no idea that the way I fell in love would be romantically beautiful, too.

It was January 21st, 3 weeks after new year night. And that was supposed to be one of those normal Saturday nights where we just went out for camping and had fun...

Except one fact... that I realized I have fallen in love.

Last a few minutes ago, I was lying on the grass alone staring up at the sky. The night was cold and I was wearing layers of clothes so was he. The guys were at the cabin having fun with BBQ when he came up to me and lied beside me to ask one simple question.

"So, what's your favorite color?"

That's what he asked after lying there with me for a few good minutes. When I looked at him, he was also gazing at the sky with his small eyes...black little eyes that I have admired a lot.

"I like purple." I answered as I shifted my eyes back to the stars. And suddenly I wanted to tell him why I like purple. Perhaps other people do not have the meaning and reason to like a color but I do.

"Do you know why?" I asked him and at the corner of my eyes, I can see his lips curl up a bit in amusement. That's nice. It's just so nice to see him smile. It is very gorgeous.

"...no. Tell me." he answered and this time, I smiled. I loved the way he answered. It was like he wanted to know my reason to like purple. It's likehe cared.

"Well, purple is made out of red and blue, which are two opposite colors but when you combine them, you get the most beautiful color in the world." I explained him with my eyes never left him. And till now, our eyes didn't meet. He was looking at the stars yet my eyes were on him. But I am glad I didn't change my view because I could catch the whole process of how his eyes start shutting with some wrinkles.He smiled.

"You are crazy." He said as he ran through my hair with his fingers and still he was laughing. "...and that's cute." He continued before pulling his hand back... oh I wanted to stop him. Those fingers were just so nice.

"...I know." And it is quite funny that I absentmindedly said it. This time, I could see teeth shows up as his eyes still completely shut and laughed louder than before. He must have found it funny when I said confidently. To be honest, I didn't even know why I told him that I knew. Well I didn't. I didn't know that he found me cute or that I am crazy.

But somewhere in my mind, I knew that he has the hands which I want to hold on to forever. I knew that his eyes were beautiful. I knew that I was addicted to his laughter. Somewhere in my mind, I knew, well I thought I knew, that maybe, I have fallen in love with him.

"Oh, hey look! There is a shooting star!" one of the boys from the back shouted and that did distract me from staring at him. I couldn't catch the whole scene but I did see a small light falling down to the earth.

So, all of us stands up and looks up the sky. Some of them whined because they missed the shooting star. And you can call us a bunch of stupid young adults or whatever because we literally did stand there and wait another thirty-minute straight in case there could be another shooting star.

"I guess we should go back to the cabin." One of the guys said and the other nodded. I nodded too. So, we started to walk back to our cabin but I stopped when I realize he is still not moving.

"Aren't you going inside?" I asked.

"...Yeah, I have to." And he looked like he did not want to. Is he really waiting for another shooting star?

"Do you want to wait?" I asked as I stood beside him. And I could see him nodded his head at the corner of my eyes. So, I, too, waited...but I was not waiting for shooting stars. I was just standing there...just to looking at him.

Star gazing is fun and so is gazing at him. The cold air stroke us but neither of us decided to go inside. And by the time another wind blew, I saw that intense sparkle lighted up his eyes and that was when another shooting star fell on to the earth.

What I saw through his eyes is a falling star...

He looked happy and so, I was happy, too.

"Did you see it?" he asked vigorously.

"Yes." through your eyes...but I never said it out loud. "Yes, I did."

"Did you make any wish?"

"I...I did." I lied. I didn't make any wish. I was way too busy, absorbing in the poetic scene of where the star fell down through his eyes.

"Good! Now, let's go inside. It's cold." He said giving me a soft smile as he grabbed my hand and walked back to the cabin. It was strange that I didn't pull my hands or is it just that I didn't want to?

All I know for a second is that his hands were warm and I love them intertwined with mine.

Maybe this was the moment that most people told us ... the moment when you could feel like the world stops spinning and clocks stop ticking ... the moment when your heart skips millions of beats to the certain touch and, you felt that everything around you is crazily beautiful, ... so this is the moment when people realize they have fallen in love.

And if what they said is true then, under this very epic circumstance, I have fallen in love with you, Im Hyunsik.
