Never Ending Story 《Seungjin FF》

{25}

The day of the school fete was nearing. Seungmin was kind of excited because his girl crush was going to come to their school.

Hyunjin in the other hand was looking forward to see Seungmin and have fun with him like the same old days.

The moment both of the friends entered the school Seungmin and his group of friends meet up and gathered to go for their morning essembly. Seungmin was feeling really cold since it was still morning and the sun was not fully up. The weather was foggy. Seungmin and his friends settled down in their chairs and Seungmin looked at Hyunjin, who was wearing something really warm.

Seungmin reached his hand forward and touched the older boy's hand as if checking the temperature before a bath. Then he whispered, "Jinnie, warm my hands please." Hyunjin looked at Seungmin and pulled his hands into his warm big ones. His hand was rough. Like really rough. No wonder Hyunjin helped his mother a lot at house work.

Seungmin was bad at house keeping. He was brought up by his parents who were not allowing him to cook because Seungmin's grandmother was quite evil. Just because of Seungmin's grandfather, she was not too harsh on Seungmin's mom. At those moments, Mrs. Kim was told to work non stop in front of her mother-in-law being a good 'daughter-in-law' Seungmin's father couldn't object too. This was the reason Mrs. Kim had started being so rude and mean in the first place. Mrs. Kim didn't want Seungmin's grandmother ordering him to work and clean the house as she did. So she always shooed him away when Seungmin wanted to learn some house work.

But this resulted him in being a real burden sometimes. He couldn't do anything! And that was one of the reasons why Seungmin didn't like his mother. She was someone who was ruining someone else's dream,(of cooking, no joke once when Seungmin was young he wanted to be a master chef. That was when he had started asking his mother to teach him how to cook) because of her own past.

Seungmin did pity her. He might sound mean for a son but to be honest, the situation was like this. She was tortured, yeah but she was unnoticeably ruining Seungmin's general knowledge of cooking and always expecting the worse. Not just cooking but other domestic house hold works. How was he going to live alone in the future? They were torturing him silently too.

He was the one who was now called a 'master' by his parents because he was no good at any house work-

When Hyunjin started rubbing his palms on Seungmin's hand, Seungmin came out of his short trance.

Hyunjin in the other hand was thinking about his life. For one moment everything was falling apart. But the other moment here he was. With his best friend back again. He was more than happy to see Seungmin back in his life. Even thought he knew that Seungmin and he would never be as close to eachother as before but...come on dude! His life was getting fixed. Hyunjin was really happy.

When he looked down, he saw Seungmin's hand inbetween his big ones. His hand was fair and soft. Really soft. This guy out here was pretty cute too. At least cute compared to the ones Hyunjin knew.

Hyunjin liked the softness of the hand but the coldness was what caught his attention. Seungmin did have a soft spot on his heart. A really big spot for the ones he cared for. So he would do anything to prevent them from pain even if he had to be a cold fellow. He had split personalities depending on his situation.

Hyunjin started rubbing them to warm them up. Hyunjin preferred the good side of Seungmin. He was sassy but yeah, the soft side was real cute.

Once the hand was warm enough, Hyunjin whispered the instructions, to pull Seungmin's sweater as sweater paws, that way his hand would stay warm.

->->->->->

The fete had started. Hyunjin was left alone with Seungmin as Felix and the others ran into the disco room. Hyunjin grabbed Seungmin's wrist and ran towards the stalls like a five year old, jumping excitedly. Seungmin felt his blood rush to his ears and cheeks and he was feeling happy. Seungmin was confused with his own feelings.

After playing tons of games, Seungmin didn't play anything. He was more likely watching Hyunjin win. Seriously, not just his looks but his luck was something worth praising. When the coupons were all finished, Hyunjin carried a sad face. Seungmin smiled, knowing the best way to cheer him up. He handed him his coupons.

Hyunjin's eyes widened when he realised Seungmin had his coupons with him all this time along. "But don't you need it?" Hyunjin asked. Seungmin shook his head. "Keep it." Hyunjin's eyes brightened and he quickly added "I'm going to return the money during the reports." Seungmin shook his head. "Keep it, no need to pay." Hyunjin squealed in delight and pecked Seungmin's cheek swiftly. "Thank you." Seungmin tried to keep his best disgusted face and shocked eyes. To be honest his heart was thumping nearly out of his rib cage and his face was lit up. They were freaking in front of a big crowd of people. Public?!

"Are you thinking me as gay too after your parents?" Hyunjin pouted. Seungmin shook his head immediately and Hyunjin smiled. "Let's go." He grabbed Seungmin's hand, this time and they went out to play.

After what seemed like hours of playing, Seungmin and Hyunjin sat down on a bench with Hyunjin on his phone and Seungmin gazing at the corridor. People were coming and going. Suddenly Seungmin saw his crush, "Oh your girl is here too?" Hyunjin nudged Seungmin when the boy felt Seungmin's stillness. Seungmin nodded. He gulped when he saw Jackson Wang, a senior walking hand in hand with her. So she was taken. Hyunjin patted his back. Seungmin knew he was way out of her league.

So he decided to let go of every crush he had.

->->->->->

It was December 2018. Seungmin sat up straight after he saw Hyunjin pecking Seungmin's lips when Seungmin was pouting, in his dreams.

A bead of sweat trickled down Seungmin's face and Seungmin realised one thing.

He got an epiphany that day. "I like Hyunjin." He did since the day he started missing Hyunjin after their friendship break up.  Seungmin just denied and didn't want to accept that he liked a boy.

Now he had fallen because of his best friend.
Now he liked a boy because of his best friend.
Now he missed a boy more because of his best friend.
Now he tasted what love is because of his best friend.
Now he felt how it is to deny your feelings for someone because of his best friend.
Now Seungmin was  going to face hardships in his love life when Seungmin decides to hide his feelings from the other boy because of his best friend.
Now he was going to feel the pain when you can't make some one yours because he doesn't belong to you because of his best friend.
Now he was bisexual because of his best friend.
Now Seungmin was going to feel happiness because he fell for his bestest friend ever!!

That was it. It all started on this day. Seungmin's journey towards Hyunjin had started.

->->-×->->

So this was the end of it all. In the end Seungmin was not able to get Hyunjin. So Seungmin was looking forward to  have a new future in Australia. He knew he would find someone who loved him. He knew he was leaving for good.

He felt his lips dry up. He pulled out his lip balm and applied it on his lips. Seungmin had chapped lips everyday. But one sentence, "Your lips are always chapped." By Hyunjin made Seungmin make his lips perfect. And they are perfect now.

But a part of Seungmin felt hollow. He felt something was going to happen. But what? He didn't know. He sighed again and leaned on his seat's head rest. Now he got to sleep because it was already day in Australia.

Seungmin looked outside and he gave a week smile. For the first and last time, Seungmin whispered, "Goodbye love."
