Bloom Ink [C.YJ & C.SB]

열셋

The next day during lunch, the five boys were sitting together as per usual, talking away as they ate their meals.

Of course, the soulmates were sitting right next to each other. How surprising.

Somehow, that day, Yeonjun just felt a little needy for affection from his soulmate and the both of them were holding it in very well from their younger friends.

Yeonjun smirked as an idea popped up in his head. Yeonjun subtly scooted his chair closer to the brown haired boy, who was talking to Beomgyu and Kai, and placed his hands on his thighs, fully knowing that his thighs is his sensitive spot.

Yeonjun gave it a little squeeze and Soobin flinched as he squeaked in surprise, now fully gaining the attention of the other three, looking at their hyung with a worried expression.

Satisfied, Yeonjun let a small smirk slip while still letting his hand run up and down Soobin's thigh, trying to soothe the pain.

"Hyung, you okay? You suddenly squeaked." Taehyun questions.

Soobin finally catches his breath after gulping down water that Beomgyu passed to him. "Y-yeah, I'm okay, just saw a fly."

The younger just muttered an 'okay' before continuing the conversation that was left hanging earlier.

Soobin looked over at Yeonjun and glared at him when they made eye contact.

"What was that for?" Soobin whispered. Yeonjun gave an innocent look, acting like he did nothing, hands still on his thigh.

"What? I was just tryna get your attention, I'm in need of some affection." Yeonjun pouted, and Soobin grabbed his hand under the table, his thumb stroking the back of the older's hand.

"You'll have me all to yourself later during free period, junnie. Just hang on for a bit more?" Soobin consoles the boy, still pouting, but nodded nonetheless. Soobin softens at the sight.

Oh how he really wanted to kiss that pout away.

Yeonjun was about to continue eating when Soobin tugged on his sleeves.

"Can't we just tell the rest of the boys?" Soobin said, maybe a little too loudly.

"Tell us what?" Beomgyu repeats, and the other two looks at us in confusion.

"Well okay, so uh talking about soulmates, Yeonjun is my soulmate." Soobin confessed, feeling a lot lighter than before and felt glad that he got that off his chest.

There was a moment of excruciating silence around the table, which was rare, and Soobin gulped harshly. Did they not like this news at all? Did they not approve of this or-

"Alright, we've been knew. Taehyun, you owe me." Beomgyu said, and Taehyun tuts, handing him the money.

"You guys bet on my love life?!" Soobin asked, perplexed.

"Hyung, it was obvious but we didn't want to jump to conclusions." Huening Kai added.

Soobin and Yeonjun looked at each other, shrugging and giggling. Maybe they weren't so subtle after all.

"So, how did you guys know? Tell us and don't you dare miss out any details, I swear to god." Huening pestered, and the other two nodded their heads aggressively while Soobin only chuckled.

"So you see, you remember the day I fell? Yeonjunnie helped me up and then the tattoo started to act up and he dragged me to the roof to talk about it, which we did, and uh w-we slept for the next double period lesson." Soobin scratched his nape in embarrassment as he muttered the last part with his head down.

"Ooo, we're already in the nicknames stage huh?" Beomgyu wiggled his eyebrows, teasing his cousin. "I'm half mad that you lied to me but because you're my cousin and you guys are cute together, I'll forgive you."

The bell rang, earning a groan from the youngest three, as they had lessons, while the two oldest were feeling happy because they have free period right now.

"I'll catch you later during homeroom, hyung." Beomgyu said, looking at Soobin, in which he nodded and Beomgyu walked off with his arms around the two maknaes.

"So, shall we go now?" Soobin asked, looking down at Yeonjun with their hands intertwined. Yeonjun nodded, giving a sweet smile as they made their way to their secret hideout.
