"A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections,"
July 2018
Everything was just so... overwhelming.
Jisung's mind was an absolute jumbled mess of nothing but Changbins' face, their future together, and the burns in the elder's palms. Everything had happened so fast, none of it was supposed to happen to begin with. Jisung was just supposed to visit the town, see Changbin, get the information he needed, and then leave. Changbin's parents were never supposed to find out about them, much less Changbin was never supposed to come with Jisung after finally experiencing what it was like to hold true power. None of this was supposed to happen but he couldn't bring himself to be even slightly irritated. They weren't sure what they were to each other exactly, they were dating, yeah, but there was something else there. Something deeper and more meaningful.
At the end of the day, Jisung would never fully stop loving Eric, but Jisung knew deep down in his heart that he would love Changbin more than he ever loved Eric as time passed and he was okay with that. He hadn't even been paying attention to his hand acting on its own accord and slipping onto Changbin's thigh as the elder slept in the seat next to him, and Jisung sighed in content. The elder stirred at Jisung's light, feather-like touches to his thighs, but never woke up as Jisung immediately stopped and cupped the skin in hopes of coaxing him back to sleep. It worked every single time but eventually, Jisung just let the elder sink into deep sleep without any disturbances. "You're cute, Seo Changbin," Jisung uttered under his breath fondly, pressing a warm kiss to Changbin's knuckles.
"So are you, Han Jisung," Changbin grunted out, moving so his body was turned towards the window and Jisung yelped, slapping weakly at Changbin's shoulder.
"Asshole! I thought you were asleep!" Jisung screeches, hitting the elder a few more times but Changbin grabbed his arm gently to put his hand back on the wheel.
"You were tickling me, baby, how was I supposed to stay asleep?" Changbin's voice was groggy and thick from sleep, and entirely alluring prompting Jisung to grip the wheel tightly. "How much longer?" Changbin sighed out, flinching a bit when the rain began to fall at a more rapid pace.
"Erm... an hour and a half maybe? But I might pull over because of this rain. I hate driving when it's pouring like this," Jisung admitted shyly, and Changbin nodded.
"Do what you need to do, baby," and then it was quiet inside the car. Changbin was slowly lulled off to sleep by the light tumble of rain against the roof and the soft music he put on before he relaxed back into his seat. Jisung hummed along, lightly tapping his fingers against the steering wheel in hopes of taking his mind off of the rain and how anxious it made him. Eventually, and very much to Jisung's relief, they arrived at the next exit and Jisung found a small parking garage on the outside of town where they could be away from the rain and sit in actual silence for a while. However, it was getting too stuffy in this car and Jisung could only handle so much of it before he got out and dug around in Changbin's trunk until he found a towel to put on the hood.
