Cloaked Heart | Yeonbin

Chapter Thirteen

HEAVY RAIN SHOWERED OVER HIM as Soobin slightly grimaced—his whole body soaked from head to toe. Maybe it was a bad idea to go out in the rain but he needed to find Yeonjun and apologize for acting like an idiot even if it meant coming down with a little cold; he'd survive. 

His vision was slight blurry, raindrops getting into his eyes as he halted deciding to call the older instead to save time. He clumsily fumbled around in his pocket resulting in his phone to fall onto the pavement. 

"Shit," Soobin cursed, immediately bending down to pick up the phone which was now wet. He could feel his heart drop as he flipped his phone around and saw that the screen was cracked. 

Rising back up, he attempted to turn on his phone but it didn't turn on. The screen black. He could imagine manager hyung yelling at him for being reckless but it wasn't exactly his fault. The phone dropped out of his pocket.

"Soobin?"

The familiar voice made Soobin spin around to see that Yeonjun was standing a few metres away from him. He was also soaked too, his clothes stuck to his body.

"Hyung I'm sorry for being such a dumb idiot," Soobin's voice cracked as tears rolled down his cheeks—mixing with the rain.

Yeonjun playfully smiled, rolling his eyes before walking over to Soobin and gently wiping his tears away with his fingers. "You don't need to cry Soobin-ah."

Soobin shook his head whilst hiccuping. "I didn't wanna be mean to you. I just wanted to fix everything and I thought maybe if I kept telling myself that I didn't love you then soon I'd believe it."

The older was quiet, his chocolate-brown eyes locking with Soobin's. "That day..when you said you didn't love me-"

"I lied," Soobin cut in, tearily laughing. "I'm a horrible liar."

A small smile graced Yeonjun's lips as his fingers raked through strands of Soobin's matted hair. "I know."

Soobin slightly shivered, the feeling of Yeonjun touching him causing goosebumps to rise against his skin and also the fact that it was freezing cold. 

Yeonjun must have noticed Soobin shivering as he unzipped his hoodie and threw it over the youngers shoulders. "Come on, let's go somewhere warm to talk."

The action made Soobin's heart melt as he shyly nodded, following after Yeonjun into a nearby brightly lit café.

The bell on top of the glass door dinging as they both stepped inside. The place looked warm and cosy, most of the interior designed with wood. There was barely any customers which made Soobin feel better considering the fact that they were newly debuted idols.

"You go take a seat and I'll order," Yeonjun said, his eyes fixated on the menu above.

Soobin hummed before walking further down into the shop and choose a two seated table that was right against the window. He sat down whilst sliding Yeonjun's hoodie off of him and placing it on his lap.

Soobin was nervous and he didn't even know why. Maybe it was because he was planning to tell Yeonjun that he loved him back. He wasn't avid on talking about feelings but he knew that he couldn't hide any longer. It was now or never and he chose now.

"I didn't know what to get so I asked them to surprise us."

Soobin glanced at Yeonjun who was walking over to the table with two cups of coffee in his hands. 

Yeonjun handed Soobin a cup with a glint of mischievousness flashing in his eyes. "This one's for you."

The brown-haired boy threw him a suspicious and wary look before hesitantly reaching out to grab the cup. He pressed the cup against his lips, the sweet and milky taste filling his throat. Gently placing the cup back onto the table, he bit back a smile. "It's nice. Better than I expected."
