[completed] Yeosang has to come to terms with the fact that his life is no fairytale, not even a romantic novel - just another short story, fighting to stay above water in the bottomless ocean of so many others'. And in that ocean, he will have to r...

The atmosphere in the restaurant is calm and pleasant, quite the opposite of how Yeosang feels inside. Even his palms are starting to sweat from the nervousness that is rising, while he sits next to Lucas at the table. The live piano music is flowing through the room, but even this otherwise soothing sound is just a scratching noise inside Yeosang's ears. The overpriced gold, designer shirt that Lucas made him wear, is making his skin itch, and he dreams himself away to being at home in a comfortable hoodie instead.
Yeosang stares at the flowers placed in the middle of the table, studying every little detail of every petal, while trying to calm himself down. Lucas on the other hand doesn't seem bothered at all, despite the small argument they had had over this particular evening. Instead the older is busy reading through some business mails on his phone, for once - and luckily - not paying much attention to Yeosang's nervous behavior.
"I apologize for being late, traffic was crazy," a familiar voice suddenly says, and as Yeosang looks up he immediately feels himself getting lost in the ice blue eyes he used to know all too well.
Jun looks like an absolute dream, and not even being in a serious long-term relationship can make Yeosang think otherwise. The peach blonde hair has been dyed dark, while a subtle smokey eye are decorating his upper and lower eyelids. A crimson red has been painted over the full lips, and long silvery jewelry are dangling from his earlobes.
"Don't worry, we haven't been waiting that long," Lucas smiles politely as he gets up to greet Jun.
"Yeosang..." Jun says, as he turns to look at Yeosang who is slowly getting up from his seat as well.
The embrace is short, but the look follows in Jun's eyes instantly tells Yeosang that the older is hungry for more than the expensive dinner they are about to share. Yeosang swallows a lump in his throat, as he sits down again, his eyes flickering around as he tries not to get too stuck in the icy wonderland of Jun's eyes.
With Jun sitting right across from him, Yeosang struggles to stay calm and enjoy his dinner - but he must do his best, otherwise Lucas will catch onto the fact that deep down Yeosang isn't 100% over the beautiful designer yet.
While Jun and Lucas are busy discussing some business related things, Yeosang takes a peek at his boyfriend, and once again he feels guilty for ever taking his love for granted like that. He would be a fool if he ever chose his sexual desires over true, heartfelt love.
And his days of being a fool are over, he is sure of that.
But when Lucas excuses himself to the bathroom, giving Yeosang a kiss on the lips before leaving the table, the look that Jun sends him isn't easy to avoid. Yeosang clears his throat, as silence takes over in Lucas' absence.
"So..." Jun says, his voice softening up and causing Yeosang to finally look directly at him, "How have you been? You look beautiful as always." The charming smile adds to the compliment, and Yeosang can't help but shyly smile back.
