boys love girls- jeongchan

۱۰

"chan." jeongin opened the door of his room and the older immediately looked up. "what's wrong 'innie?"
"mom said i can't hang out with you anymore." jeongin felt like crying, he knew chan for six year and he's the closest friend he has. he couldn't just stop hang out with him, what else would he do every friday night? and who else could he have endless phone calls with, and share clothes with, and basically do everything with?

chan was worried, was it because of what he said when they were having dinner? did they found out he's in love with jeongin?

"hey don't worry we are not going to let that happen, besides your dad thinks i'm a cool dude so." jeongin nodded. "chan i can't be without you." the younger sounded so desperate, it made chan's heart break. "you won't be without me, i promise."

few moments later, neither of them wanted to go downstairs, scared that jeongin's mom would say anything to chan. chan helped jeongin with covering the mattress with some sheets.
after what happened one year ago jeongin never slept next to chan again. chan wished they could cuddle together like they did that one day. "hey chan you go sleep on the bed yeah?"
"why don't we both sleep on the bed?" chan suddenly blurted out, regretting his life choices. "i mean there's a mattress so there's no need to." chan just awkwardly nodded. "oh and here are your clothes." jeongin tossed a set of clothes to chan, they both had clothes for each other in each other houses, because of how often they'd visit each other.

after they did their quick evening routine they both layed down on the bed as jeongin set up a movie on his laptop. throughout the movie chan could only focus on jeongin's side profile. the way his cheekbones and jawline looked was perfect. and those big plump lips, chan often wondered if they would be as soft as they look liked, and if they tasted like cherry, since the younger always had a cherry chapstick with him.
"chan what are you staring at? the movie is over." chan snapped out of his thoughts when he saw jeongin closing his laptop and laying on the mattress that was on the ground. "goodnight chan."

"jeongin, remember that day i was sick and you cuddled me? can we please do that again?" jeongin felt weird, it wasn't okay for best friends to do stuff like this. "why? are you sick again." chan nodded his head and lied. "yeah.." jeongin would do anything to make chan happy, so he left the warm duvets and layed down next to chan. chan held jeongin close as if he would never  see the younger again.

jeongin still felt weird doing this, sure they were touchy sometimes, but this? it felt different. he smelled chan's scent and his strong arms were hugging him. jeongin felt something inside his tummy, he also heard chan's heartbeat. "chan you're heart is beating fast."
"i know."

jeongin thought about chan's words;
"you know you're in love with someone when they make your heart beat faster."
