When a ray of light shines upon a darkened night sky
Han Jisung was many things. Most would call him loud, some would simply be pleasant and say that he was expressive. Everyone he met considered him confident and even his closest friends seemed to think that he was fearless. He was intelligent, according to his teachers; a mood maker, according to his friends and a nuisance, also according to his friends. Han Jisung was many things, but a traveller was not one of them.
So, I hear you ask, why the hell was he about to set off on a road trip? Well, the answer is simple dear reader, Han Jisung was very, very gay and Lee Minho was very, very cute. Which just about brings you up to speed.
Jisung's legs were not particularly long, but the confined space in the ancient fiesta made him feel like a giant. His head was about an inch away from the roof of the car and his knees were practically inside his chest. The boy huffed as they jolted over a speed bump, legs bumping into the dashboard. Less than ten minutes in and the road trip was already a disaster.
"You do realise that you can move the seat back, right?" Minho said from beside him, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. A bemused smirk was creeping onto his face, it didn't go unnoticed by the younger boy, who pouted slightly. He waited stubbornly for a few minutes, before grasping around for the lever and shunting his seat backwards. His entire body screamed in relief as it was removed from its dreadful contortion.
Minho glanced in his direction. Jisung swatted violently at his arm and pointed to the windscreen. "Eyes on the road, hyung, please," he let out an exasperated noise, somewhere between a whine and a sigh, "I don't want to die." Despite his seemingly flamboyant nature, Jisung was extremely paranoid. That meant that he was afraid of the dark and minor injuries and people breaking into his flat. It didn't really make sense, considering the fact that nothing especially eventful had happened in his life. But, for whatever reason, Jisung suffered from severe paranoia.
"Calm down, Jisung, I was looking away for less than a second. Its three am, nobody's driving anyways." The older boy laughed slightly at his antics. The road was empty, it was a surreal experience. Usually, you could barely move for traffic, but now there was none. It was like a ghost town. Except it wasn't a scary ghost town. It was the sort of town that Casper the friendly ghost might inhabit.
"Why did we have to leave this early anyway? I'm tired." Jisung blew strands of hair away from his face as he gestured enigmatically. "I could have been playing Sims right now, but no, 'we have to go, Sungie, or else we'll never leave', it's not fair, hyung, I didn't even fully agree to coming in the first place!"
Minho sighed slightly, "We left this early so that we could hit the road before the traffic got too intense, or would you rather we were sitting in rows of cars while people continuously beeped their horns at us?" Jisung opened his mouth to respond but was, quite rudely, prevented from doing so, "Your obsession with Sims is unhealthy, so consider this part of my intervention; that was an appalling attempt at my accent, by the way and the moment I asked you, you basically cried with joy so don't even try and pull that on me."
The younger boy decided that it was grossly unfair how correct, and also beautiful, Minho was on every single count. He resigned himself to picking at the skin of his cuticles, attempting to stretch his legs out and then remembering that he was confined to a fiesta. He may as well have been an animal.
"Can I put the radio on?"
"It doesn't work, Sung, do I look like I can afford a functioning car radio? I can't even afford custard creams anymore."
"This is gonna be rubbish."
