The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

37 ✔️

The next morning Youngbin was awake early, getting ready for his date with Sanghyuk. He couldn't stop thinking about the way the younger's heart was beating so fast because of him. He never thought he would be the cause of somebody feeling nervous or making someone's heart beat faster. He knew that a lot of things happened in a very short amount of him but he felt like he could trust Sanghyuk. Even after the mistakes Sanghyuk made he still felt himself getting nervous whenever he saw him or thought about him
and yesterday definitely made him speechless. The way Sanghyuk was looking at him, the things he told them and how sincere he sounded. He may have been naive in the past but it didn't feel like the younger would just mess around with him. So many thoughts were racing through his head and he was almost getting lost into them if it wouldn't have been for Youngkyun barging into his room.
"Hyung can we talk? About Sanghyuk hyung?" he asked, looking at his brother with a pout.
"Do you want to warn me about him?" Youngbin questioned as he turned around to look at the younger, surprised when he shook his head.
"No I've talked with him yesterday and I think he truly likes you. He told me how much you mean to him and how happy he want to make you. He said that he wants to protect you at all costs."
"Have you told him about it?"
"No of course not, that's still your part. I just wanted to say that I think you two would be a cute couple."
"You really think so? I wasn't really sure if he's sincere but it doesn't feel like he's joking around" Youngbin sighed, feeling relieved when he saw Youngkyun shaking his head.
"He's not joking around hyung. If he's saying that he loves you then he really loves you."
"Thanks Kyun. You really knew that I needed this now, right?" the older laughed, hugging his brother.
"So are you ready to go? I'm sire he's already waiting for you.
"Of course. Have fun on your bro date with Taeyang" Youngbin called after him, smiling to himself when he heard the younger groan.

"I need to tell you something" Sanghyuk suddenly blurted out, not being able to keep it to himself any longer as they were taking a walk in the park after eating.
"Did something happen?" the older asked as he looked up to the younger, still crouching on the ground while looking at the fishes.
"I know that we've already talked about this but I like you more with every passing day. I truly fell in love with you and I feel the urge to always make you happy and protect you. It's completely new for me but I really want to be your boyfriend" he quickly stammered, feeling his cheeks heavily heat up.
"Wait you didn't ask me out but just asked me to take you as my boyfriend?" Youngbin confusedly replied, looking at him slightly surprised.
"I guess I did" Sanghyun chuckled, nervously scratching his neck.
"Promise me that you're being sincere" Youngbin replied while holding out his pinkie.
"I, Lee Sanghyuk, promise you, Kim Youngbin, that I'll be a faithful, sincere, loving and caring boyfriend for as long as you can put up with me" the younger promised while connecting their pinkies.
"Then I'll gladly accept your application for the position as my boyfriend" Youngbin chuckled while getting up, smiling when he wrapped his arms around Sanghyuk's neck.
"I'm glad then" he spoke, leaning his forehead against the older's, his skin tingling at the contact. He couldn't have been any happier than right now, finally knowing how people felt when they said they were madly in love. He could finally feel how it felt to actually be loved by someone, to have someone by his side he could count on and help him through hard times.
"Sanghyuk-ah, there's still something I need to tell you. Can we drive back to your house?" Youngbin asked, his smile falling a bit as he made eye contact with the younger.
