[🍩🍒🎶] green;; winil + yuwin

winwin × taeil
winwin × yuta

song - green, lemon boy, cavetown

the setting is in a forest (for clarification)

after living with sicheng for a year, he wanted to be more independent, but that ended up hurting him more than help sicheng.

taeil smiled when the younger made him dinner. "thanks chengie. I don't know what would've happened if you never found me," taeil smiled. sicheng sat down across from the older. "of course! everyone deserves to be found," he said with a smile. taeil couldn't help, but notice that the blond was slowly running out of money because of him. "sichengie, are you sure you can work to support both of us? I could always try to-" sicheng cut him off, "yes, I'm fine. you just stay here and recover still. you can't go outside. now go eat your food before it gets cold," he said before starting to eat.

about a year prior, sicheng found taeil in the forest, leaning on a tree, passed out. taeil had just survived running away from his family. his parents would always say that it was his fault for being a failure. it was his fault for being weak. it was his fault for being an accident. taeil was so sick and hurt from the words they constantly told him, so he ran away from home, but his parents managed to make a mob chase after him. he fortunately lost the mob, but he was so tired, hungry and dehydrated that he passed out. if it weren't for sicheng, he'd be dead by now. everyday he was with sicheng, felt like he was in a sanctuary. sicheng was always so nice to taeil. the older just wanted to spend the rest of his days with him...

but teail would always think "sicheng always does so much for me... I can't do anything for him. I can't be what sicheng needs, or wants..." sometimes, he'd be so deep in his thinking that he'd stop breathing and drown in his thoughts.

"yah! hyung, I told you to eat," sicheng said, jokingly, but taeil couldn't help thinking that the younger was annoyed and done with him. his thoughts consumed him and it was too much for the poor boy. silently, taeil started crying. "hyung? are you okay?" sicheng asked, concerned, hoping for an answer, but all he heard was taeil's tears fall on the table. "i-i'm so sorry, sicheng," he said before getting up and running away for the second time. all the older could think about was how much of a burden he was, to everyone he knew. of how much of a loser he was. of how incompetent he was...

no one should have to take care of a fully grown man.

as the tears fell, taeil ran faster and faster. sicheng followed the older, close behind, but with each step, his pace started getting slower, slower and slower. until he fell and saw the person he, so very much cared for, disappear in the fog.

———

splash! sicheng felt a bucket of water hit his face. "t-taeil?" he said with a slight smile, but to his disappointment, he didn't see the short brunette. instead he saw a tall brunette. sicheng squinted to see who it was, but he didn't recognize the man. the blond sat up and rubbed his head. he felt another hand touch his and he sheepishly smiled. "sorry I'm no taeil, but I'm yuta. nakamoto yuta, nice to meet you," he said with a smile and waited for the other boy to finish the sentence. "s-sicheng... dong sicheng," sicheng stuttered. when he took a better look at yuta, he could see all his flawless features.

he was cute, round eyes, that almost disappeared when he smiled. his hair had a pretty brown color that  shined in the sun. his skin looked smooth, like a pearl. his smile could outshine the sun, along with his teeth. just like taeil.
