A Wish Upon a Star | Yeonbin ✓

Saturday morning came and Soobin woke up early with excitement, "Flower-watching with Yeonjun today!" he announced to himself as he looked at the mirror, a smiley face looking back at him. Soobin found himself to be keen on choosing a pretty outfit for the day and realized how long it had been since the last time he had felt such childish eagerness about something as trivial as dressing up.

"Wait...are we about to go on a date...?" Soobin stopped, suddenly finding himself to be strangely anxious.

"Nah, of course not. I shouldn't ruin it by raising my expectations, it's just a fun friends date thing, just friends hangingout," Soobin convinced himself, continuing to search through his entire wardrobe looking for his favorite clothes.

At last, Soobin settled on a blue floral shirt with dark jeans along with his favorite white shoes.

After having changed into his clothes, Soobin opened his phone, finding multiple messages left by Yeonjun and realizing that he'd missed all of them because his phone had been on silent mode.

C. Yeonjun: Wait, are you sick today?

12:01 pm
C. Yeonjun: I hope you're alright:)<3

Soobin checked the time, it was already 1 pm. Realization and guilt hitting him, Soobin panicked, wondering what he was to say to express the guilt he was feeling. Right as Soobin was about to type out his apology, he got another string of text messages from Yeonjun.

1:03 pm
C. Yeonjun: Hey, you know I wouldn't have minded if you were going to cancel on me.
C. Yeonjun: Like, just telling me beforehand would've been fine:)
C. Yeonjun: I'm sorry about pestering you with so many messages and calls and all. I'll head home now, yeah?

Shocked at the fact that Yeonjun was STILL outside waiting, Soobin dashed downstairs and opened the front door to see Yeonjun's face with tears streaming down his face. At Soobin's sudden appearance, Yeonjun turned straight to look at him, his gray eyes full of tears.

"Oh my God, Yeonjun, I'm so sorry," Soobin hugged Yeonjun tight, feeling Yeonjun's tears wet his shirt as he patted Yeonjun's head to try calm him down.

At utter disbelief that Soobin had actually shown up and was in fact embracing him right now, Yeonjun's whole body was frozen over.

"Oh," Yeonjun softly whispered.

"I'm really sorry, Yeonjun. You didn't deserve to get ignored by the likes of  me, especially since you've actually been thinking of me all morning and everything." Soobin whispered, his voice sending tingles down Yeonjun's spine because of their close proximity.

Yeonjun pushed Soobin away, breaking the hug, though Soobin's hands were still on Yeonjun's shoulders. Yeonjun looked up to meet Soobin's eyes.

"I thought you weren't coming, I'm sorry about assuming things, yeah? Are you alright? I hope you're not sick or anything." Yeonjun softly said, trying to sound less sensitive than he actually was feeling.

"Oh no, I'm really all fine and stuff. All this happened because I'm dumb and-"

"Hey, hey. You're not dumb or anything, it's really alright. I really mind it, I mean now that you're here, it's alright." Yeonjun smiled tenderly.

Yeonjun slowly cast his face downwards as tears began pooling in his eyes again.  Soobin noticed and cupped Yeonjun's face, making Yeonjun look at him, "I'm really sorry for making you cry like this."

"No no, I'm just really relieved right now, you know. I'm so glad you don't hate me or something," Yeonjun flashed a dazzling smile, though tiny teardrops were still escaping his eyes.

"Oh Yeonjun, I could never hate you even if I tried to," Soobin said.

"Because you're the first person who's ever done so much for me, who's always been there for me. I used to have a life without you and today I wonder how I ever survived it because now I can't go a day without you. I met you by a twist of fate but if I were to ever lose you in a fashion so fleeting, I don't think I could ever handle it. It hasn't been long since we've met but you don't know how attached I've become to you in such a short time," Soobin thought to himself as he looked at Yeonjun smiling.
