Mood Indigo ☆ [JuNew]

°•winter's end•°

"Chanhee, you do live here right?" Younghoon called out after seeing Chanhee's clean house. By clean, he meant it was very clean from any dust and furnitures as if nobody lived there.

"Of course! Then where did you think he sleep?" Changmin piped in after crashing on the sofa and flipped a magazine.

Younghoon scratched his head while smiling sheepishly. Chanhee watched the two lovers as he shook his head.

Hyunjae placed the groceries on the table and Sangyeon was already working on the meat. Jacob was next to him; he was washing a pot to use later.

"Wow, they clicked so fast." Kevin nudged Haknyeon. The younger boy shrugged in response while wriggling his brows.

Changmin and Younghoon were already cozy on the sofa; they were looking up something - probably a menu and the fought over some pizza toppings.

Sangyeon and Jacob were together; Hyunjae was in the bathroom, he said he wanted to shower a little since it had been a rough day for him. Haknyeon and Sunwoo were chopping vegetables  at the table. Chanhee was watching over them too-he had nothing to do.

The house was in peace for not too long when the door clicked open-revealing an energetic Eric and lethargic Hwall.

"JUYEON HYUNGG!!!" Eric ran into Juyeon's arms right after he spotted the lanky boy standing at the fridge.

"SUNWOO!! HAKNYEON HYUNG!" he broke the hug with Juyeon and went to Sunwoo and Haknyeon.

There was only sigh that escaped from Hwall's mouth. "Good luck dealing with him." Hwall muttered and rested his back comfortably on the couch.

The boys worked in harmony for a while.

"Can someone help me with the grilling things? I am not used to it." Juyeon came in asking for help. Apparently he went outside to set the grilling equipments for the meat.

The situation became a grief silent where everyone turned their eyes to Juyeon.

Sunwoo turned to Juyeon which the latter boy eagerly requested for help. "You should ask Chanhee hyung since it was his and he should know."

Chanhee caught off-guard; he wanted to avoid Juyeon until he figured out the best way to apologize. Sunwoo ruined it. That dense boy hadn't catch the atmosphere yet-until Haknyeon nudged him.

"I will go th-"

Eric was about to head out when suddenly Hyunjae - who was in bathrobe - appeared in front of him.

"You shouldn't let a kid to play with fire, he could burn your house!" Hyunjae exclaimed hard, "Chanhee, you go to help Juyeon." Hyunjae bossed.

Chanhee gulped, facing Juyeon was hard now yet he needed to work with him? Uh, sounded bad already. Chanhee did not want their relationship wasted.

However, being a submissive employee he was, Chanhee made his way to Juyeon. Juyeon was still at the door, waiting for someone. He saw Chanhee came and immediately left without sparing him a glance.

The wind was violent and itbwas freezing yet warm outside. The fire that Chanhee lit was out and after a few times more tries, Chanhee gave up.

Chanhee squatted on his knees while rubbing his palm then he cupped it to his face. Chanhee forgot to wear his sweater since he thought it would be brief.

"Ugh, why this thing is so hard?" Chanhee complained with a pout.

Juyeon also squatted beside him - he did not utter any words yet.

Chanhee did not realize Juyeon was next to him, he kept complaining how the weather was frigid although it wasn't winter yet. He realized it only when he was sitting down, his cold hand touched a warm hand when he tried to support himself while stitting down.

After that, it was a dead silence.

Chanhee was battling in his mind whether to ask 'why Juyeon is here?' Or 'what are you doing here?'

"Why did you come here?" Thankfully, Chanhee managed to ask although his lips were numb from the frosty wind.

It took a while for Juyeon to reply. But he did reply, quirkly.

"My padding." His words were more frostier that the wind.

"Ah, I see.. I- I will get it to you!" Chanhee wobbly stood up only to stumble - his legs were numb, he could not help himself - but Juyeon was quick in reflexing.

Chanhee fell in Juyeon's embrace.

"Silly, did you thought I'll come all the way here just for that padding?" Juyeon rigidly questioned. "I bought it for you anyway." He added more under his steady breath.

"Uh, oh..."

"I came for you."

It was too fast for any response; Juyeon tightened his embrace to Chanhee, pulled him closer and slowly brushed his lips to Chanhee's.
