[single chapter - english version]

The mirrors in the dance hall reflected the red sky of that late afternoon. The light coming in through the window illuminated everything, since they were on the top floor of the building, and one of the walls was entirely of glass, making them have a view of almost all of Seoul and the sun disappearing gradually between the buildings. The lively music played through the speakers, making the redhead wants to get up and dance, but he was tired.

Hoseok watched the blond one dancing in the middle of the room, facing the mirror, repeating the same choreography for a long time. The taller had already sat 15 minutes ago, trying to pull the other with him by saying it was all right, but he thought he still had to get better. As always.

The taller told the blonde that he did not need to improve, that the choreography was already perfect, just like him. He felt his soft lips touched over his cheeks for a moment, making him close his eyes, but then opened them again, watching the other move away and started to dance again.

As he watched, he could only think of how lucky he was to have a friend like him. He was simply the most handsome man on the face of the earth, without exaggeration. Yes, Hoseok thought that the shorter was the most beautiful man in the world.

His discolored hair glued to his forehead from sweat, his eyes focused on each part of his body through the mirror, checking the precise steps, his mouth was open, so he could breathe more easily, his broad shirt exposing parts of his back and belly as he danced, some sun rays leaving his skin golden, that was simply the paradise's vision for the redhead.

He wanted to share his feelings, to say that he loved the least of all in the world, but he was still afraid. Afraid to end up being rejected and put an end to a 10 year friendship.

A friendship that started in the purest way, when a 13-year-old Hoseok fought with the older boys at school because they were joking about little Jimin. He helped him stop crying, saying that everything the boys had said was a lie, that he was handsome the way he was, and Hoseok was not lying.

The boy stood up and held out his hand to the other's cheecks, who wiped the tears beneath the glasses on his face. He picked up her cell phone and put on a song, making the younger one look at him strangely.

- Just dance.

The oldest began to dance, while the other laughed timidly, but was soon carried away by the beat of the music. The two of them danced until Jimin's tears dried completely, giving way to the sweat that ran down his forehead as well as the older one.

So after that they never separate again. All the happy and sad moments, they were together. From Jimin's first kiss to Hoseok's first hangover.

They also discovered together the sexuality of each one, being Jimin homosexual, and Hoseok bisexual. And the two supported each other, knowing that it would not be easy to be accepted by society.

Hoseok was there when Jimin was expelled from home, and then the oldest welcomed him into his home, with his family. He was there when Jimin was beaten on the street because he was holding hands with his boyfriend at the time. And Jimin was also there when Hoseok was betrayed by his first girlfriend and thought of giving up everything.

From the first day, Hoseok loved Jimin. He loved him simply because he was who he was. First it was a friend's love, but over the years it became something deeper.

Jimin had no idea what happened in Hoseok's mind when he saw the boy near other boys. He was not possessive or anything, just afraid he would be hurt, something he would never do. He was afraid that they would not treat Jimin like he deserved to be treated.

Hoseok always knew how to hide his feelings well, but Jimin realized that he had not been involved with anyone in a long time. The younger asked if there was something wrong, but the redhead always opened a smile and said that everything was fine, soon changing subject.
When Hoseok came back from his thoughts, he saw Jimin crouched in front of him, making him scared briefly.
