The sky has always been blue. Just like the lakes, the rivers and the oceans. It was always that soothing color that covered the sky. The color only turned lighter when the sun stood and darker when the moon rises. Nevertheless it maintained its aquatic color, blue throughout the day and night.
But ever since those sunglasses made its way to Hanbin's eyes, there was something different with the way he perceived his surroundings. There was a difference with how he looked at people, a difference of how he appreciated the scenery and a difference with how he smiled at Bobby.
Bobby was known to be the least in the group who'd want to be associated with Hanbin's skinship. Heck, he hated it. He's stated it time and time again but no matter how many times he repeated it, Hanbin never fails to break his boundary and successfully hold him in his arms.
But there was something different with how Hanbin was acting lately. His songs became lovelier, his energy became softer and his smile... his smile was something that kept Bobby on his toes. That smile was so different that it made Bobby confused.
The sky has always been blue.
But ever since Hanbin got a hold of those colored sunglasses he's never stopped using them. He's seen the world in a different perspective and yet Bobby should've been contented with it.
The skinship they shared lessened, the interactions that Hanbin initiated faded and the smiles that Hanbin used to show changed.
They weren't the same loving smiles he delivered when his eyes weren't covered. No. He had a smile that made people's day brighter. A smile that spread out to people making them feel better. A smile that was so contagious... even Bobby felt the desire to see it. He misses it.
There was a difference in Hanbin and Bobby noticed it. Small things at first, like his smile, the brightness in his face and the glare he held also faded. From those small things, he noticed how Hanbin has been giving him space, as if now he's respecting his boundaries after years of breaking it. Bobby felt conscious about it, unsure whether he misses the contact they each shared or if he was sad that Hanbin hasn't been paying much attention to him. Bobby's been scowling more lately and the members noticed it. He wasn't one to show off his emotions on his face easily. But it was leaking out and he can't stop it.
"Bobby-hyung... are you alright...?" Bobby heard a sweet voice ask him. He turned to see a concerned Donghyuk, he reached out to his hyung's shoulder and Bobby just nodded.
"I'm fine. It's just... I was just thinking so my brain's... fried." Bobby excused before seeing Donghyuk raise his brows. Did he really think the younger would believe that lame excuse?
"No, seriously. That's..." Donghyuk stuttered. He didn't even know what to say since Bobby made it sound like he didn't want to talk.
"If you need someone to listen, I'm just here hyung." Donghyuk offered and Bobby just smiled.
"Sure... I'll... remember that." Bobby answered before Donghyuk let him go.
Entering his room, Bobby lied on his bed to think things through. Why was he even on edge lately? And why does he keep on thinking about Hanbin? Of all the people in the world to think about, it had to be Hanbin.
He grabbed one of his pillows to hug it before turning to his side and looking at his room. Maybe he just needs to do something else to clear his mind. Maybe this was just stress piling up. Yeah. Maybe.
