[DaBin] This Is How We Met || SF9

[Epilogue] Our Feelings

Dawon felt a mix of feelings after he read the messages between him and Youngbin. He kept on reading all of it until he remembers all the contents. All the puzzles seem complete now. No wonder the older always have that longing look each time they locked eyes before this. Dawon felt bad for not remembering him. He tried to think harder and remembering all the pieces that's gone. But whenever he tried, nothing's ever change. He didn't remember falling in love with Youngbin, even confessing his love for the guy. He felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"Lee Sanghyuk! What did you do in my room so lo—"

Jaeyoon stopped when he saw what Dawon holding in his hand.

"Hyuk-ah... did you- how did you found that?"

"Hyung, is it true?"

"Did you remember? Now you know why he left..."

"No hyung! I can't even remember, why didn't anyone tell me the truth???"

"Youngbin didn't want you to hurt yourself in the process. He told me and the rest to keep this as secret. And that phone too, he didn't want you to force yourself trying to remember. He stays because he hope you'll remember on your own, but when you're not, he give up and left."

"I felt guilty for not remembering him."

"That's why he didn't tell you, he doesn't want you to feel burdened or guilty."

Dawon leaned closer to Jaeyoon's chest and buried his face on his hyung. Soft sobs are heard from the younger guy. Jaeyoon just hugs Dawon's closer and stroke the younger's silver hair and back. After he sense the younger has calmed down a bit, he breaks the hug and looks at Dawon's eyes.

"Do you...umm... you know, about him..."

"I think I like him, hyung."

"Really? Are you sure about this? Not because of guilty?"

"Yes I'm sure. Do you know where I could find him?"

"Rowoon knows his where about."

"Thank you hyung. I love you the best."

The next day Dawon is in the train on his way to Busan. He knew what he's doing right now. After all, Youngbin has always following him before this. It's his turn now. He's not familiar with new places and he had never travel alone before this. But all of this is not the reason for him to feel nervous. He's now nervous to meet Youngbin. Only a few more meters from his actual destination and suddenly Dawon thought of something.

I hope he'll feel the same as me..but what if he had found himself new girlfriend? Or even a boyfriend?

Dawon felt more nervous at the sudden thought.

I should have ask his relationship life first.

But it's been too late for him to turn back now. He's already standing in front of Youngbin's front door. He rings the bell but no one is answering. After almost half an hour waiting and ringing the bell he suddenly thought that maybe everything is wrong now. Youngbin is not here and he's not supposed to meet him and meddle with the older's life anymore. Dawon just about to turn his back when suddenly he heard a familiar laugh from afar. Dawon felt his feet is stuck on the floor and he can't move himself, standing like a statue even when the voice coming closer to him.

- Hyung, sorry.. Can we do it next time? I have umm....... company.... now..

Youngbin put his phone back in his pocket and turns all his attention towards the person in front of him.

"Dawon-ah.. long-time no see.."

"Annyeong Youngban-ah."

Youngbin felt like something stabbed him when he heard that name going out from Dawon's mouth.

"Do you... remember?"

"Can we go in first? I didn't want to talk here."

Youngbin nodded and opened the door for both of them. He puts all his things on the couch and motions Dawon to have a seat first. He turned his back on Dawon and sighed. After gathering enough courage he turned around and met the younger's eyes.

"So, what brin-"

"Did you hav-"

Both of them talked at the same time making them let a small laugh and amazingly the tension in the air has lessened.

"You first."

"Did you have someone special right now?"

Youngbin flinched at the question. He wants to answer it truthfully but where's the fun in that?

"Yes I did."

Dawon's face fell as he didn't expected that answer. He takes that as a cue for him to leave the house, leave the man and forget everything that happens before. He gets up before picking up all of his things and went to the door. He can't wait to get out as soon as he can.

"And he's here in front of me."

Dawon stopped walking in the middle and turned around meeting Youngbin's smiling face. His heart felt soft at the older guy's smile.

"Me?"

"Yes, you are."

Dawon dropped his bag on the floor and walked fast towards Youngbin and hug the older as close as he can. Both of them smiles goofily after releasing the hug but still holding each other's waist closely.

"Stupid Youngbin, breaking my heart."

"Thank you, for coming back."

"I guess I have the opposite polar from you, I always attracted to you."
