Five minutes passed in the silent room of Jihoon's. They were still in the same position they had earlier and were still as quiet as before.
Soonyoung let his boyfriend have his time to calm down and rubbed comforting circles on the younger's back, letting his free hand to stroke Jihoon's hair back.
Jihoon's bangs were damp and Soonyoung was reckoning it must have been from the tears and the sweat mixed together. It was quite hot in the smaller's room, he had to admit.
But he doesn't mind. He doesn't even want to pull away from his soulmate just to turn on the air conditioner. Jihoon needed his touch right now and that's what he's going to give the younger.
When he noticed Jihoon's sobs and sniffs started to lessen, slowing down, he gingerly cupped the younger's cheeks into his hands. He pulled the other's face away from him and looked him in the eyes.
"You okay now?" Jihoon had an audible sniff before nodding leisurely, still looking dubious himself and Soonyoung smiled softly. He leaned down and let his lips place a chaste kiss on Jihoon's forehead.
Jihoon fluttered his eyes closed and breathed slowly, allowing himself to be nonchalant for a moment and hummed at the buzzing feeling that coursed through his body.
He felt the butterflies flapping around his stomach again when Soonyoung pulled away and stared lovingly at him, his smile never dropping.
"So... do you want to talk about it?" Jihoon knew exactly what the older was talking about. But he pretended he did not at all.
"About w-what?" he hiccuped in the amidst of his question and Soonyoung giggled at the endearing sight of his boyfriend.
Soonyoung thumbed the remaining tears away from his lover's eyes and pressed another kiss on Jihoon's nose.
"Do you want to talk about your problem? If not, it's okay. I understand if you're still uncomfortable about it. But remember that I'll always be here, waiting. Okay?"
Soonyoung combed Jihoon's hair back and cooed at the scrunching nose of Jihoon's.
Jihoon frowned as Soonyoung let him off the hook easily. Soonyoung was such a caring and understanding boyfriend that Jihoon didn't know how he even got Soonyoung in the first place.
He doesn't know how a grumpy and annoying person like him even got someone like Soonyoung at all.
Soonyoung noticed the deep frown on Jihoon's face and wants it gone immediately.
"Hey, why are you so sad? I don't like that face. Here, let me help you." Soonyoung placed his thumbs right beside the corners of Jihoon's lips and raised them up, laughing at the funny image of Jihoon's forced smile.
Jihoon was starting to get irked and swatted his soulmate's hands away, settling on pushing his head on Soonyoung's chest and let the pretty laughter of Soonyoung's fill the silent room.
When Soonyoung had finally stopped (a few chuckles coming out), Jihoon spoke with a weak voice.
"My dad..."
Soonyoung's hold on him tightened. Jihoon noticed that. But he didn't mind. He felt much more secured than before as Soonyoung pulled him in closer, his fingers finding themselves entangled into his lover's locks again.
Jihoon sighed in contentment.
"Tell me more about it, love." Love? That was very sweet to hear from someone, especially when it's Soonyoung. But it was so odd and sudden that Jihoon couldn't help but be startled by the small nickname Soonyoung had given him.
