"If it's Hyunjin again, I swear I am going to kill you!" Wooyoung almost growls, as he dumps down at the cafe table. "I mean, you've kept this guy a secret for so long, something must be wrong..."
Wintertime has come and gone, and spring has arrived with new hope and promises - and so, Yeosang has finally decided to reveal his secret boyfriend to his friends. It has been quite the struggle to keep it a secret for so long, and with Wooyoung's constant nagging Yeosang has been close to caving in multiple times.
It took a lot of strength, but he stayed strong and kept his relationship to himself. He and Seonghwa might love each other like never before, but he wanted to be at least sure that it wasn't just a fleeting moment of happiness. One thing was to be floating on cloud nine, where everything was amazing and beautiful, but it was a whole different thing as everyday life started to set in.
But now, he finally felt secure enough.
He has told Wooyoung and San to meet him at a nearby cafe after work, and he also brought Hongjoong with him. Seonghwa has mentioned a million times how much he misses Hongjoong, and Yeosang hopes the two of them will be able to mend their broken friendship. After all, if Seonghwa and Yeosang could make things work - everyone else definitely has a chance too.
"It's not Hyunjin, so don't worry," Yeosang laughs, but Wooyoung still glares at him with great suspicion. "But, I might have lied to you a little bit... It's not someone completely new..."
The sound of the small bell above the door, makes all of them turn their heads at the same time, and Yeosang lights up in a bright smile by the sight of his beautiful boyfriend. Seonghwa walks in - hair pushed back in one side as always, a blue shirt tugged loosely into his jeans and an open jacket on top. Yeosang briefly loses himself in the sight of the older, and how relaxed and proudly he carries himself now - far from the stuck up and cold facade he had put up, when they met earlier last year.
When Seonghwa has walked up to stand next to him, Yeosang looks back at his friends, who all look like they've just seen a ghost.
"Well," Yeosang says, now starting to feel a bit nervous about the situation. "Guys, this is my boyfriend, Seonghwa."
He laces his fingers together with the older's, as he looks at his friends at the table. Wooyoung and San look surprised like never before - Hongjoong as well, but in a very different way. The soft smile that he usually wears on his defined face has faded, and the look in his eyes is hard to read.
"Oh my God, it actually is..." The quiet whisper comes from San, as he grabs onto Wooyoung's sleeve and yanks it around to make sure his friend is seeing the same as he is.
