vii. From prom to adulthood | Binhwan

The prom was almost at its end, most graduates having already left, the ones who had remained, pretty drunk. The loud music was slowly dying out in his ears, as the car had already taken them far away from the school's location. Only for a second, he turned to look at the younger male sitting next to him, in the driver's seat. He looked so calm, so quiet and it got him wondering; was his mind that loud? And what exactly was he thinking about? Could he help in any way?

He looked out of the window, into the starry night sky and something, something reminded him of Hanbin's unique eyes. Maybe it was the stars that were glimmering so brightly. He really couldn't tell. But whatever it was, he dearly loved it with all his being. So he turned again to look at him, only to meet his eyes this time. And then he knew that it was both the dark colour of the night sky and the stars. But Hanbin looked away quickly, looking at the road ahead, being the careful driver he had always been.

"Are we going to my place?" Jinhwan managed to ask quietly, his voice coming out of his delicate throat oh so softly, which was proven to be a mistake since Hanbin asked him to repeat his question. Apparently, he couldn't make his question again, too shy to let those words slip out of his mouth for the second time.

"Oh forget it" an awkward chuckle followed his sentence and the other boy seemed to have just shrugged it off, when in reality, he had heard every single word of his. He was so focused on Jinhwan, that he could even hear his own breathing syncing with the older boy's.

And then suddenly the car stopped moving, making both boys gain eye contact with each other. Jinhwan was pretty curious as to why Hanbin had stopped driving, but when the latter brought his lips against his, he could clearly feel his whole body warming up, still not fully used to this kind of interaction with him. However, the younger boy was quick to pull back, since he had noticed how his hyung was slowly moving closer him.

"So, is that why you stopped in the middle of the street?" Jinhwan managed to ask him before licking his lips slowly.

"We are out of gas" Hanbin mumbled as he leaned back at his seat, Jinhwan's wide eyes piercing his entire body. "There's a gas station down the corner" he added, which kind of calmed the other boy for a moment.

Jinhwan opened the door from his side and got out of the car. "Get up then!" he shouted at him while signaling him to do so. Hanbin seemed too fascinated by his hyung's decisive actions that he didn't even think of actually starting the car engine, which was obviously making the older boy grow impatient. "Come on Hanbin" he heard him whining from the outside while trying to push the car, which made a soft and genuine smile appear on the younger's face as he tried to make the car move.

"Ugh, and that's all I get after waiting for you for an hour? Wow. Just wow" the short boy rolled his eyes while pushing the car from the back.

"You know you have to deal with me being indecisive" Hanbin chuckled and looked at the boy next to him as they were both pushing. Actually, he should not have used the term indecisive. Maybe the term anxious or insecure could have fitted better. Maybe.

"We should work on that" the boy with the heart mole stopped pretending to be annoyed and smiled widely at him, like he knew; like he knew what Hanbin had meant by indecisive.

"Fill it all please" Jinhwan politely asked from the gas station employee, when he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder, which made him turn around.

"Hyung, I don't have that much money with me" Hanbin whispered softly at his ear and immediately shook his head, disapproving of Jinhwan's decision to pay for it all. "But your house is so close hyung, there was no need to" he sighed and looked at the steering wheel. Oh yes, Hanbin was coming over his place. Jinhwan smiled and after paying, they drove off to his house.
