"under the surface you confront yourself. you wonder what life would be like if i was someone else. but i am patient, i refuse to concede or believe that i am only what you want me to be"
hongjoong stood before mingi, with only the sound of their heavy breathing and the crashing ocean waves beside them. mingi stared deeply into the olders eyes taking in every little bit of him.
"w-we should get going, the members are probably wondering where we are-" mingi turned around grabbing his jacket from the sand, taking a few steps forward.
you're an idiot for believing he'd actually kiss you.
"mingi wait-" hongjoong caught up with the other intertwining their hands together as if nothing happened and it was just normal.
mingi looked down at their hands, his face turning bright red "why who what when i-" hongjoong simply laughed pulling him closer "it's getting cold and i don't want you to get sick".
wow yes just use that as an excuse to hold his hand god you're so stupid hongjoong.
"so did you have fun today?" hongjoong looked up at mingi as they were walking, only a few blocks away from their dorms. "i-it was good i was actually glad to finally see you so happy", hongjoong stopped he was confused at what mingi just said.
"what do you mean by finally? i'm always happy" hongjoong didn't understand why mingi would think he wasn't.
mingi sighed shaking his head as he grabbed both of hongjoong's hands "you may act tough around us so we won't worry but i know you, and i know when you're not doing well it's okay to show your feelings to us you know".
if only it were so easy to show my feelings towards you then i wouldn't have so much trouble just talking to you.
"but i'm fine really you don't need to worry about me at all" hongjoong tried his best to convince mingi that he was okay but failed.
"look just tell me this one thing and please, be honest with me" hongjoong nodded his head looking at mingi waiting for what he would say.
"did you have fun today hanging out with me?".
say yes, that's all i need to hear from you.
"yes of course, i had the most fun ever and i mean it" mingi sighed in relief brushing his hair back "okay good just making sure".
mingi let go of hongjoong's hands walking once again but stopping when the older called his name "yes joongie?", "can i hold your hand?".
mingi swore he heard hongjoong just ask him to hold his hand but he didn't want to believe it so he asked once more just to make sure.
"i said could i hold your hand..?" mingi has never felt more happier than at this moment, well there was that time when his mom finally got him a Nintendo DS but this was different.
the guy he tried so hard to get attention and praise from was finally noticing him, and he wouldn't want it any other way then this.
"yes, yes you can" mingi reached his hand out intertwining it with hongjoong's small one feeling the warmth coming from it.
maybe just maybe things wouldn't be so hard after all.
