The end of the week came sooner than expected. And one thing was for sure. Noone wanted to leave the house. They all had spent so much time together, getting to know each other, that they immediately changed their minds.

Jongho was the one that literally begged Hongjoong to stay there. The older was taken aback by his brother's words, but didn't question it. He was relieved and happy that they didn't want to leave the house.

San hadn't changed his mind. Not even one bit. He wanted to be with Seonghwa, and there was nothing or noone who could change his mind.

Seonghwa had yet to grand Hongjoongs wish, but only because he waited the end of the week. He was surely gonna make Jongho better.

Things between him and Hongjoong were getting better. Now that the both of them had confessed their feelings and there wasn't any misunderstanding between them, everything ran smoothly.

Of course the youngers had no idea what was going on between them, Hongjoong was too afraid to tell them. He knew that they needed to know, he just didn't know when.

There were times that they would go out the house, and into the forest, just to have some moments together. And of course it was late at night, when the two brothers were sleeping. During the day, they had no time for them. Besides San and Jongho were always with them.

That's exactly where they were now. Outside in the forest, late at night, just the two of them. They made sure that San and Jongho were sleeping on their beds, before they went out.

Seonghwa was sitting down in the grass, under a bid tree, having Hongjoong in his arms. The smaller male was snuggling in him, his body tightly pressed against his, his head on the olders neck.

Seonghwa was running his hands up and down Hongjoongs back, feeling him relax on his embrace. The boy's soft breath was hitting his neck, sending chills down his spine.

From time to time he would leave small kisses on top of his head, muttering praises close to Hongjoongs ear. That made the latter blush like crazy, but he was sure that Seonghwa couldn't see him.

"Are feeling OK?" Seonghwa asked softly, not wanting to scare Hongjoong.

"I'm good. Just being here with you helps me a lot" He said, placing a small kiss on his neck. And then another. And another.
"I missed you"

"How is that even possible? We are together almost everyday" The witch said chuckling, finding this clingy side of Hongjoong adorable. Who would've thought that the boy would have this side.

"We don't have that much time together. At home we are with my brothers.."

"And every night we are here together" Seonghwa interrupted, kissing Hongjoong on the lips. The younger didn't hesitate to kiss back, enjoying the feeling.

"For some reason this is not enough"

"Look how people change. I still remember the day that you almost hit me when I first kissed you" Seonghwa said, laughing at that. He remembered it vividly, Hongjoongs glare was way too scary to forget.

"OK in my defense, it was my first and I had no idea how to react. So don't blame this on me" Hongjoong pointed an accusing finger at him, his lips pouting at Seonghwas stupid smile.

Seonghwa laughed at that, kissing the tip of his finger. Hongjoong was a blushing mess, Seonghwa acting way to sweet at this point.

"So, what have you decided?" The witch asked, after some time of silence. He was nervous about whether Hongjoong wanted to stay with him or not. Maybe this was why he was acting like that.

"Cmon Seonghwa. You know very well what we'll do. Why are you asking?"

"I don't know. I guess there is this part of me that thinks that you'll go. But I don't want you to go" The older said, bringing the male closer to him.

He knew, or rather guessed that Hongjoong wanted to stay with him. But there was this slight doubt, that small possibility that he would want to get away.

"Seonghwa, I'm not going anywhere. We will stay here with you. Why are you stressing out for something like this?" Hongjoong replied, taking Seonghwas face into his hands. He had no idea why the witch was acting like that.

His thumbs were slowly tracing his cheeks, looking intensely at Seonghwas eyes. They seemed to sparkle under the moonlight, making him look so innocent.

"I don't know Hongjoong. I can't help but think that, after some time, you'll want to go. I know it's me who started all this, but I keep thinking that you'll want to leave"

Tears prickled at the corner of his eyes, and blinked furiously, not letting them fall. He didn't want to cry in front of Hongjoong.

He loved Hongjoong, he truly did. He could not begin to imagine how he would feel if he wanted to be away from him.

Hongjoong on the other hand, started laughing. He couldn't believe that this was the reason why Seonghwa was acting like this. There was no point in doing so though.

"Seonghwa I'm sorry, but you're kinda of an idiot"

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to think, what could possibly keep us apart? Even if you hadn't done this, I'm pretty sure we would have stayed the exact way. We were just ten minutes apart, even if I decided to leave, we would still be close"

Seonghwa thought for moment, his eyes not looking at Hongjoong. I mean, the human was maybe right. Maybe Seonghwa overreacted.

"Umm, I mean, you're kinda of right.. I mean, we could have stayed the same way" He chuckled, realising that this way of thinking was indeed stupid.
"But it's all settled now right? You won't leave?" Seonghwa returned to his pleading self.

"You're kinda of an idiot for a witch. What have we been talking about this past time? No, Seonghwa I won't leave you" Hongjoong said, a small smile on his face, sighing at Seonghwas reaction.

He bend down, kissing the witch deeply, not leaving him space to reply. Their lips molded together, moving in sync.

Seonghwas mind was emptied from any thoughts, now focusing on Hongjoong. He was right. He was an idiot. Why was he anxious over such a small thing? But he didn't care. He didn't regret his decision one bit.

They got separated, their gazed never leaving each other. The two could see the love and adoration in each other's eyes, their hearts beating rapidly inside their chest.

"I love you"

"I love you"

Both, simultaneously said that. Their eyes widened, not believing that the other would say such thing. Hongjoong stopped breathing for a second, while Seonghwa was ready to ask if he had heard right.

"What did you say?" He finally did, a smile creeping on his face.

There was no reason to lie at this point. Hongjoong said what he was feeling right now. He felt like this was the right time. But the fact that Seonghwa had also done the same thing, made him blush.

" I I love you Seonghwa. I really do" His gaze was dropped to his lap, not daring to look at Seonghwa. But the witch wanted to see his face.

His fingers moved under Hongjoongs chin, lifting his head. Even if he couldn't see in the dark, he was sure that Hongjoong was blushing. Their eyes met again, Seonghwa wanted to devour him at this point.

"Don't be shy sweetheart. I love you too" He whispered and kissed him again, more passionately this time. Hongjoong responded immediately.

It felt like a huge weight had been taken of his shoulders.

"I love so so much Hongjoong"

"I love you too Seonghwa"
