The Vengeful Butterfly / X1

Stay with me

Eunsang's eyes were giving a glare that was freezing Junho's bones, like being nude in the middle of a hailstorm. Eunsang watched Junho approaching his bed so he moved a bit aside to make space for him and before Junho sat down, he looked at Eunsang like waiting for an approval. Eunsang pointed on the bed with his eyes, with a dose of intensity. He wished he could control the breathing whenever he's around Junho, but he couldn't. Everything about him was tormenting, his perfume which wasn't that strong but it was enough to be recognizable coz Eunsang smelled it so many times, that white, soft skin, his thin lips and those eyelashes which inidcated Junho was nervous.

Junho sat down,carefully, near Eunsang's leg. He didn't want to hurt him even more, so he handed over the ice pack to Eunsang.

-I thought you wanted to help me, can you put it on my leg and wrap with a towel?-Eunsang asks, noticing Junho's eyes widening.

-Um...of course...-Junho silently replied and gently lifted Eunsang's jeans up to his knee.

The goosebumps Eunsang felt from the touch on his skin made him to frown from embarrassment.

-Does it hurt?- Junho moved away his hands from Eunsang.

-No, no. Just do it already-he regretted the decision because he still wanted to be careful around Junho and didn't wanna look weak in front of him. But on the other side, it was so cute seeing Junho putting the ice pack on his leg, his moves and touches were so slow and gentle like his leg was about to break any time and Eunsang almost laughed but he managed to stay serious.

-That's it!-Junho clapped with his hands like he did a medical miracle and smiled.

He got up from the bed, ready to leave the room.

-Um...-Eunsang mumbled behind his back.

Junho turned around-Yes..?-

-Maybe you should stay for a while because the ice will melt soon probably and it'll wet my bed but I can't get up to change the towel and I'll have to call for someone-he blaberred-...and maybe...that's why you should wait.-he finished looking in front of him and not at Junho.

-Oh...well...okay. I'll just sit here.-he sat on the floor near Eunsang's bed because Minhee's was already full of clothes.

Eunsang glanced at Junho and felt bad, not only that he asked him to stay here without a proper reason but he made him sit on the floor in the middle of the winter.

-No...-he says and slowly moves his whole body aside-sit here, next to me.-

Junho's eyes widened once again but he stands up and sit next to Eunsang, considering the place the other boy made for him, he lifted his legs up too preparing to be thrown out of the bed any second. But it didn't happen.

Eunsang just slowly lied down, puting his head on the pillow as Junho was still in a sitting position with his head leaned on the wall behind the bed. It was a perfect position for Junho because he could look at Eunsang's beautiful face without being caught.

-Are you okay?-Junho asks silently.

-Yeah, I'm good, it doesn't hurt-

-I mean...with everything that's been going around...your stepfather, he was arrested today...-Junho analized Eunsang's face from above and noticed his eyebrows moving in a frown.

-He deserved it and I couldn't be more happier-he weakly smiled-even tho my father's condition is still the same, at least we can now take care of each others without being tormented by that man-he stiffed as he felt Junho's breathing somehow became heavier-...I...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said I'm happy...about your your mother... I've never had a chance....-he closed his eyes thinking how hard must've been for Junho to lose his mother because of that monster he was living with and all he did was making it worse for him all of this time.
