Daehwi walked silently beside Jinyoung neither of them spoke, they didn't know what to say. Daehwi was still shocked and Jinyoung was as well not sure if what had happened was real.
They got to Jinyoungs house and sat in silence neither of them wanting to speak. Daehwi sat balled up on the couch and Jinyoung laid sprawled across the carpet.
"Jinyoungie....." Daehwi said in such a small voice Jinyoung had barely heard him.
".......Yes?" Jinyoung said staring up at the ceiling.
"Why....why did you kiss me?" Daehwi said while Jinyoung flinched at the blunt question.
"I....I.....I don't know," Jinyoung said suddenly wanting to disappear into the carpet underneath him.
Daehwi sighed, "did you just do it to get the girl away from me? Just to protect me?"
"I guess...." Jinyoung replied not fully telling the truth.
"I see...." Daehwi said burying his head in his knees.
"But...." Jinyoung said not knowing how to finish his sentence.
"But what?" Daehwi said slightly muffled.
"I.....aishhh....how am I supposed to say this?" Jinyoung said.
"Say what? Jinyoung you can tell me anything.....I am your best friend right?" Daehwi said looking over at Jinyoung who still had his gaze fixed on the ceiling.
"Yeah, that's why I shouldn't say this....I don't want to ruin anything," Jinyoung said running his hands through his dark hair.
"How would you ruin anything?" Daehwi said focused on Jinyoung who just sighed.
"I'm afraid, that if I say this, you will hate me," Jinyoung said his voice gradually getting quieter.
"I could never hate you Jinyoung," Daehwi said, "no matter what I will always be by your side whether you like it or not..."
"I......are you sure?" Jinyoung replied his gaze drifting to Daehwi who had got up and sat next to him on the carpet.
"Yes I'm sure, one hundred percent.....just tell me," Daehwi said feeling slightly frustrated.
"Ok," Jinyoung said sitting up and looking directly into Daewhi's eyes, "what if I said that I acted like that because I was.......jealous."
"J....jealous.....why?" Daehwi said looking at Jinyoungs face, he looked so serious.
"Because.....because....I like you hwi!" Jinyoung said immediately breaking eye contact and looking at his hands.
"You....w...what?" Daehwi said his face becoming a bright shade of red.
"I like you.....not just as a friend....but more...I'm sorry," Jinyoung said not able to look at Daewhi's reaction.
Daehwi forgot to speak for a moment he froze up and could barely think. They both sat there for a minute before Daewhi's trancelike phase had ended.
"D..don't be sorry," Daehwi said in a whisper.
"W...what?" Jinyoung said looking up.
"I said don't be sorry," Daehwi said louder.
"Why?....didn't I just ruin everything?" Jinyoung said fighting the urge to lower his head again.
"No....you didn't ruin anything.." Daehwi said.
"How? You probably hate me now...." Jinyoung said his voice breaking.
"Don't be such an idiot.." Daehwi said looking slightly angry.
"What?...." Jinyoung said looking up and feeling dread for Daewhi's response.
"Who are you to assume that I don't feel the same way, huh?" Daehwi said looking Jinyoung fiercely in the eyes.
"Y..y..you..what?" Jinyoung stuttered, startled by Daewhi's sudden change of attitude.
"Do you even know how long I've liked you? How long I've wished you would like me back?" Daehwi said.
"I...." Jinyoung tried to speak but couldn't think of any words.
"This is the one thing I've wanted, ever since I met you......" Daehwi replied his tone lowering to a more softer one.
"Really?" That was all Jinyoung could say in response.
"Yes, really!" Daehwi said.
Jinyoung felt a sudden urge to be closer to Daehwi he didn't really fight it. He felt as if his feelings had taken control when he found himself only millimeters from the younger boys lips.
They were so close they could feel each other's breath a small tension started building as they looked at each other. Daehwi was surprised but didn't move away, he didn't want to move away.
Jinyoung closed the distance between them when he pressed his lips against Daewhi's. Neither of them knew what they were doing since they both lacked any experience.
Nevertheless it was perfect for both of them when Jinyoung pulled away Daehwi looked at him his eyes tearing up.
"You don't even know how much I love you.." Daehwi said as he buried his face into Jinyoungs shoulder bursting into tears.
"Trust me I do....ahh....don't cry hwi....." Jinyoung said a tear slipping down his own cheek.
"I can't help it....I've liked you for so long...I'm soooo happy," Daehwi said grabbing onto the back of Jinyoungs shirt.
They stayed like this for a moment until they could stop their tears and a question popped into Jinyoungs mind.
"So what does this make us?" Jinyoung asked his hands running through Daewhi's grapefruit-like hair.
"Hmmm....can we be a couple?" Daehwi said muffled by Jinyoungs shirt.
Jinyoung hummed in response smiling brightly his face becoming a slight shade of red.
"Hehehe Jinyoungieeee my boyfrieeeeenddd~" Daehwi said moving away so he could poke Jinyoungs face.
Jinyoung laughed as his face grew even more red because of the term Daehwi just used. He had never expected Daehwi to like him back but he was so glad.
Jinyoung knew he would always be happier with Daehwi and there was no way he was ever going to let anything happen to him. To put everything simply Jinyoung loves Daehwi, and it's just the same way around because Daehwi loves Jinyoung.
