daisies for my love | showkyun

06. you

in all reality, changkyun had never held a proper conversation with hyunwoo before. it made him nervous just to think about it, the fluttering in his stomach grows stronger at the boy in front of him.

a questionable look rests on his face, at his junior who stopped him on their way to the cafeteria a few days after their meeting at the library.

"what can i do for you?" hyunwoo asks, watching the boy fidget under his stare. it makes hyunwoo fidgety too, almost nervous at what the nameless younger would say.

"i- i like-" changkyun pauses to take in a deep breath and push down all the flower petals fluttering in his throat. god, please be on his side.

"i like you, hyunwoo sunbaenim. i've adored you from the very first day i saw you, and you might think that i'm the same as others, but i am not. i really, really a-adore you, sunbaenim. will you please be my boyfriend?"

changkyun takes a deep breath, not having enough courage to look up to meet his senior's eyes. he could still feel the blooms inside him, dangerously close to rise out of his throat.

"uh.. i'll think about it."

..

hyunwoo did, he did think about it a lot more than he's ever thought when handing rejection over to somebody with a heavy heart.

not this time, he actually thought how it'd be to date. it being his last year in the school fueled him as much as his friends convincing him to accept the boy's confession.

by nighttime, hyunwoo has already decided.

..

changkyun walked in a daze to his school, the cursed disease taking away his precious sleep and now he was sleep-deprived.

jooheon kept mumbling about his homework, digging around his bag to find the sheet of paper but changkyun was too far gone in his head to even notice how panicked his friend was.

right, jooheon did give his homework to changkyun to copy. welp.

"hey there," his eyes snapped up from his bag, towards the voice that called out to him.

changkyun's brown eyes met hyunwoo's dark ones, crinkled at the edge and a smile rested on his face.

"kyunah, hi." he greeted with a grin, changkyun still in a stupor of his own whirling thoughts.

did hyunwoo really call his name?

when did hyunwoo know his name?

why was he talking to changkyun like that, especially that excited grin on his face?

was he being rejected?

"yah! he's calling you." jooheon elbows his ribs, the younger huffing at the painful contact and slowly shuffled towards the towering male.

"h-hello, sunbaenim.." he greeted shyly; hoseok, who was behind hyunwoo squealed like a highschool girl. "oh my god, min! he's so adorable!" he heard minhyuk lightly slap his boyfriend's arm but agreeing to it. it made the blush on his face darker, ears heating up at the words.
