showhyuk focus
"are you sure we should be here? why are we even here?" minhyuk asked. shownu looked at him and smiled gently. "of course we can be here, and i don't know why we're here. i just wanted to get out of the house, and your the first person that came to mind." the two were at a playground, they didn't know why. it was around 3am and both couldn't sleep and they both needed the company.
shownu shrugged, sat down on one of the swings and then gestured for minhyuk to use the one next to him.
"thanks for coming." shownu whispered. the boys swung slightly, in the dark with only the moon as their light source. the silence was not awkward, nor comfortable, it was the slightest bit tense. both boys knew why they were there.
"he's doing it again, isn't he?" minhyuk asked, barley above a whisper. shownu nodded. he didn't dare to look at the blonde male next to him. even though minhyuk has seen shownu at his worst times, he hated feeling weak.
"it's happening a lot more," his voice cracked, but even though he knew he needed to cry, shownu kept the tears in. "he hasn't been home in a few days. i see him in the halls at school, and then that's it. i swear... i cant keep living in that house with him." even though it was dark, minhyuk could see the pain on shownu's face, and noticed the tears brimming at the corners of his eyes.
"why don't we go for a walk?" minhyuk suggested. the black haired boy said nothing, but instead stood and offered his hand out to minhyuk.
they walked hand and hand down the empty streets, not saying a word, and just enjoyed each other's presence. the boys stopped at a empty park and found a bench by a tree and sat. their hands remained intertwined, but both pretended not to notice.
"you know it's ok to cry right?" minhyuk asked. it was more of a statement to make shownu feel more ok with crying, he knew he needed to let it out. shownu nodded but remained quiet.
"you can tell me about it." minhyuk offered. he already knew but he still felt like giving shownu the chance to vent about it.
yesterday night
shownu went downstairs as he heard the front door close. he was scared but remained calm on the outside. he knew being afraid would make it worse. he peered around the corner to the kitchen as he heard his dad on the phone.
"yes i can be there.
he will be fine.
he knows how to take care of himself.
whatever, i'll see you in a bit.
bye." as his dad hung up the phone shownu knew he was gonna be left in the house by himself again. it was a regular occurrence; his father leaves and doesn't come back till he needs something, then leaves right after he gets it.
shownu doesn't even know where he goes. he's had some ideas. a few times he's come smelling like cheap perfume and stale cigarettes. other nights he comes home completely wasted, usually passing out on the couch. a few times he's brought trashy whores home, only to do the frikle frakle, then kick the girl out.
it wasn't what his dad was doing that upset shownu. it was the abandonment. he's been doing his shenanigans since shownu was 13. he was used to the feeling by now. it still hurt him though.
"are you going out again?" shownu questioned. his father had been out every night for the past three weeks. leaving his only son to stay at home alone.
"yes i am. do you have a problem with that." his dad's voice had anger laced in it. he knew if he answered no, he'd get yelled at. he knew if he answered yes, much worse would happen.
"no, sir." shownu looked down a the ground, suddenly finding his stripped socks (that are most definitely minkyuk's) more interesting.
he heard footsteps approach him, and he didn't dare look up.
"listen, brat, you don't control my life. i feed you, and make sure you have a roof over your head. the least you will do is be respectful and look at me while i'm speaking." shownu couldn't even process the words before he felt a sharp pain in his cheek.
next thing he knew, the front door slammed, and he was alone all over again.
minhyuk nodded, being lost for words, all he could do was raise a hand up to shownu's cheek (where a very visible red spot was) and caress it.
"i'm sorry." the blonde muttered. he has known about the way shownu's father treated his son for years now. he and shownu have been best friends since they were in diapers. their moms had always forced the two to play with each other and eventually they realised they never wanted to be apart. it was only after shownu's mother passed away, that his dad started acting the way he does now.
"i can stay at the house with you for a bit." minhyuk offered with a slight smile. it was only a friday night, even though it's technically 4am on a saturday, but never the less, shownu grinned at the offer, nodding his head almost instantly.
he looked over at minhyuk and felt happiness spread throughout his body. he was always happy with him. everything else seemed to go away. he adored the boy next to him, more than anyone else he knew.
the park was more lit up then the playground. both boys could see each other perfectly. they both felt something, they didn't know what, but they both could feel it. maybe it was the fact that minhyuk's hand had moved from shownu's cheek to the back of his neck, or maybe it was the love shownu had in his eyes as he stared at the blonde.
neither of them knew what was pulling them forward, but after they both smiled at each other, they were kissing.
it started slow at first, almost a light peck, but it grew more passionate, not heated, just passionate.
they both knew they wanted this, they have for a while. neither knew how to imply it though, until now. they were so caught up with kissing one another, they didn't even notice a tall boy watching from behind the bushes, smirking like a maniac, and they certainly didn't notice him take his phone out and snap a picture.
