My Hand And Yours

You're Amazing

Another month passed by after Baekho met Eun Jung. He sat in the university's library, the only other place of solace he had from the bodyguards and his mother. He flipped through the book, trying to get the words into his head but nothing stuck. He grumbled and stared out the window, laying his head onto his arms. He started counting the amount of cars that drove by until his eyes stopped at a certain figure crossing the roads and avoiding the cars. He slowly moved up, eyes wide. He quickly turned his head to look around the library, checking to see if there were any of his mum's bodyguards nearby. When he was certain they were all at least far enough from him not to be able to catch with up if he ran, he made a dash for it. He tried to be as quiet as he could while sliding past the other students who were walking about. He got out from the library and gasped when he saw a guard right there, making a turn and running away before the other noticed him. He lifted his hoodie to try to cover himself as he made a breakthrough to the university entrance.

Once he was outside, he tried to find for the figure he saw earlier. He hoped he wasn't mistaking him for someone else at this point.

"Hey!" he heard someone yell in his direction and saw a guard running towards him.

"Shit!" he cursed and started running but he didn't get far when he was grabbed by a pair of hands, dragging him into the university before he could see who it was. He stumbled, almost falling but his steps caught up to his body. He got a look at the person in front of him and gasped. It was the same figure wearing the same clothes he was looking at earlier. "This way!" Baekho pulled the figure instead since he probably knew the university better than the other. He brought them to a storage room that was usually a spot for horny students to do their thing since it was quiet and the lecturers didn't tend to go there, shoving the other in before he entered it and shutting the door quickly. He panted and tried to catch his breath before he finally laid his eyes on Minhyun who was panting just as much too.

Baekho's heart felt like it would burst right now. He embraced Minhyun and immediately crashed their lips together, forgetting all of the words he wanted to tell the other when they met. Minhyun breathed in sharply when Baekho kissed him, holding the shorter man tightly as his feet left the ground since Baekho was too excited to realise what he was doing. Minhyun gasped for air and pulled away.

"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down now, Baekho," Minhyun said while smiling brightly for the first time in months.

"Calm down? I missed you so much. This feels just like a dream."

"It's not a dream because a dream wouldn't stink so bad," Minhyun said jokingly and Baekho chuckled.

"You're right. This is a storage room after all." Baekho sighed and leaned his head against Minhyun's chest. He could feel Minhyun's heart beating just as fast as his. "How have you been?"

"Fine. I've been fine," Minhyun replied him while fixing his hair. Baekho felt something weird and moved his head away. Minhyun stopped and Baekho looked at his hands.

"You're not... Wearing gloves," he said softly. Minhyun smiled and nodded. Baekho held his hand and gently touched them. His skin condition was much better too.

"I tried. After I got down from the plane, I thought I would... Try."

"How... How do you feel?"

"I'm tempted to put them on but now that I'm with you, I think I can hold on for a little longer."

"I'm so proud of you, Minhyun."

"Baekho, there's something I have to say," Minhyun said while staring into Baekho's eyes.

"Anything. What is it?"

"After you graduate.... Will you run away with me?"

Baekho's expression went from blank to confusion to pure bliss. He started laughing and squeezed Minhyun tighter. "What kind of question is that? Of course, I will. I like you, remember?"
