mute ; junhao

TWENTY-FOUR

Half a week later.
Actually Minghao wanted to stay in Korea even longer, but since he was determined to return to China with Junhui and they still had some work to do to give him a life there, they wanted to fly back earlier.

So they both stood at the airport with their hand luggage in their hands, just waiting for their flight to start.
Both were tired, because the last few days they had been under a lot of stress: Junhui had to pack almost all his things, except the furniture and things that weren't so important, while Minghao had to call his parents all the time to get the older one a place to stay until he had his own house or at least apartment.

They waited for almost two hours, first because they were too early and second because the flight was late.

But then finally came the rescuing announcement that the plane would arrive in a few minutes.

"We should go to the gate," Minghao said and briefly read on their flight ticket which gate they had to go to before he looked around and hopefully ran off in the right direction.
Junhui was so tired that he didn't notice at first how the younger one left, but followed him quickly and caught up with him within a few seconds.

"So we have to go to gate eight and we have places 23 and 24...And we just can't forget our bags and have to take care of our valuables and-" Minghao was stopped in his flow of speech when Junhui held him by the shoulder and made him stand.
"There's one more thing I've wanted to ask you before," the bigger one started and then took a little break, apparently nervous. "Want to be my boyfriend?" he finally asked and almost looked at the other one begging.
He was really afraid of the answer, because...Maybe Minghao didn't want him at all.

At first he was silent, but then smiled and fell around the neck of the bigger one.
"I thought you'd never ask...Of course I want that," he replied, but then left Junhui again. "Now come on. The plane is not waiting for us."

A little later they were finally in the plane, Minghao slept with his head on the shoulder of the bigger one and Junhui slept as well, his head he had put on that of the smaller one.

Now reunited again they would make a new beginning and nothing would be able to separate them in the future, only death...At least that's what they hoped, but voluntarily no one would leave the other one anymore.

Who knows what else would come to them, but once was certain:
No matter what comes, they will master it together.
The first weeks might be difficult, but they would make it.

In the end their story had come to a good end and it had all started for one reason only:

Minghao was mute.
