five

when the dawn arrived, mingyu woke to the feeling of warm sunshine on his face. speaking of sunshine, soonyoung was still there, holding onto mingyu's arm, his face buried into his shoulder.

mingyu couldn't believe his eyes. it still felt so surreal, and yet here it was, his cute neighbor, curled up against him in bed. a rosy hue gently formed on his cheeks, restraining himself to only brush soonyoung's dark hair from his forehead.

mingyu found himself conflicted between what he could only assume was his emotions. should he leave soonyoung and possibly regret it? or should he stay with soonyoung and possibly regret it?

he chose the latter, and inched his body closer to soonyoung. mingyu could hear his breath, watching the smaller's chest move up and down in a steady rhythm. without warning, soonyoung turned on his side, facing away from mingyu. he pouted, and against all better judgement he decided he would be a good idea to spoon soonyoung.

which turned out not to be the best idea.

soonyoung found himself waking up only a few minutes later, scrunching his shoulders in an attempt to move, only to realize someone had been holding him. he whipped his head back quickly, accidentally hitting mingyu directly on the nose, causing the taller to wince back in pain.

soonyoung shot up from his spot and cradled the other's head in his hands, "mingyu! i'm so sorry! are you okay?"

mingyu sniffled a bit, twitching his nose in a way too cute for soonyoung to handle.

"yeah, i'm fine. it's my fault i shouldn't have done, , , that."

he moved to leave but soonyoung pulled him back with his hands still on mingyu's cheeks, "you don't have to apologize , , , it was pretty nice, , , i was just startled."

both of them locked eyes, faces flushed scarlet and hearts beating faster than normal. soonyoung licked his lips nervously, which worked up mingyu more than it should have.

"ah, i should make us breakfast," mingyu set soonyoung's hands down on the bed before leaving the room.

soonyoung sighed heavily; he felt like he was going insane! he has the weirdest feeling around mingyu, one that made his chest want to explode! he couldn't explain it, but he strangely hoped to figure it out soon.

he huffed again before leaving to the restroom to rinse his face. it was only then he realized he was still in mingyu's clothing. he admired the way his shirt softly draped off his shoulder and brushed at his thighs. he watched himself blush and felt his chest tighten and the sight.

what the fuck

soonyoung was distracted again by an alluring scent from the other room. he finished quickly and followed the smell. he walked into the kitchen facing mingyu's bare back. he didn't have time to admire that tan skin in the bed, but now he has, and he found himself shocked at his inability to look away.

mingyu finally turned to see soonyoung standing a few feet behind him, "i made egg fried rice. i hope that's okay," he smiled sweetly despite the nervousness in his chest.

soonyoung smiled back, "that sounds great. it smells delicious."

mingyu went back to cooking while soonyoung slowly walked closer, walking on his tippy-toes to see over mingyu's shoulder.

the taller hitched his breath at the feeling of soonyoung so close to him once again, struggling to keep his eyes off soonyoung and on his food.

he coughed softly, "it's done."

soonyoung smiled brightly and followed mingyu around the kitchen as he searched for plates and cups. it felt almost domestic, domestic in a happy way soonyoung almost didn't understand.

eventually, they sat facing across each other, silence enveloping them as they ate. mingyu still couldn't keep his eyes off of soonyoung. his mind was still having trouble processing how he ended up like this, and why he would end up like this. they only met a few short days ago, but mingyu had never felt so much emotion for another person like this.

  he only hoped wonwoo wouldn't laugh at him for saying it was 'love at first sight.'

unbeknownst to mingyu, soonyoung was doing the exact same thing. he stole glances at mingyu every chance he got, and just like mingyu, he didn't know he was being watched back. it seemed like a dumb game of cat and mouse, they each happened to look away just as the other managed to stare up from their food. one could even say it was annoying.

  as if on cue, a phone begins to ring. mingyu fishes his out of his pocket only to discover it was silent. he flicked his head up to see soonyoung slowly lift his own cellphone from under the table to his ear.

  "okay. see you soon," he then proceeded to hide his phone underneath the table again. he continued eating as mingyu stared at him dumbly.

  "soonyoung."

  the smaller hesitantly lifted his head to meet mingyu's eyes, "yes?"

  mingyu's breath hitched. those fucking eyes.

  "how did you get your phone?"

  soonyoung smirked, "i went to my apartment this morning. the landlord was downstairs when i went to look for the curtosey phone."

  mingyu's mouth gaped , "b-but y-you're-"

  "i'm still here. sorry about that, , , i just- i really like spending time with you," soonyoung trailed off, his smirk deflating into a blushed pout.

  mingyu felt all the veins in his heart clench at his words. was soonyoung, , , into him? mingyu's brain tried to piece together what was happening. soonyoung left, and instead of staying in his apartment he came back to sleep in mingyu's bed.

   he had officially lost his mind.

  "who called you?"

  soonyoung sighed through a mouthful of rice, "jihoon is coming to pick up his stuff."

  "oh, , , " was all mingyu managed to let out. he was still in emotional shock, maybe his crush on soonyoung had grown if that was even possible.

  "mingyu."

  the taller perked up from his plate, "yes?"

  "could you pretty please come with me when jihoon gets here? he's bringing his new boytoy and i wanna show off how hot my neighbor is."

mingyu choked on a piece of egg in his mouth, "you WHAT?"

  "come on! i want to see their faces when they see what a hottie i scored!"

  "s-soonyoung w-what are you-"

  soonyoung pursed his lips, "come on mingyu, please?" he leaned over the table and grasped mingyu's hands, "pretty please come with me! i promise i'll make it up to you."

  mingyu furrowed his brows, "you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend so you can male your ex jealous?"

  soonyoung looked away for a few seconds, "i guess you could say that, , , but i also want you there for support. you make me feel, , , safe, , ,"

  that one hit mingyu right in his chest, "okay, i will, , ,"

  soonyoung beamed, "well come on then! let's get ready. do you happen to have any matching couple outfits?"

  "do i have WHAT?"

  the smaller laughed and patted mingyu on his head, "i'm joking," he picked up the empty plates and walked behind mingyu and leaned into whisper, "i'm not joking boyfriend."
