A Wish Upon a Star | Yeonbin ✓

XXV

After much discussion and bickering, the boys were now watching The Great Gatsby upon Kai's request.

"Not a Coming of Age but it's a great movie so," Kai chirped.

"Hoes love to cry, huh?" Beomgyu said, scrolling on the streaming site as he looked for the movie.

"Cry? I thought it was Titanic which was the sad movie with Leo in it," Yeonjun said.

"You haven't watched The Great Gatsby, hyung?" Soobin and Beomgyu asked in unison, disbelief painting their faces.

"I don't watch a lot of movies," Yeonjun said with a shy smile, scratching his head.

"Well, you're going to love this one, hyung," Kai smiled at Yeonjun.

"C'mon guys, let's get our snacks and cozy ourselves up for the movie then!" Taehyun announced as Beomgyu played the movie.

Adjusting himself, Yeonjun snuggled up to Soobin's shoulder, giving him a big smile. Soobin returned the smile as he too, snuggled up to Yeonjun and the older rested his head on the younger's shoulder.

Watching them, Kai couldn't help but feel slightly envious. However, as he watched them from the opposite end of the couch, he couldn't help but smile as he realized how perfect they looked together and how Soobin smiled the most when he was Yeonjun.

Beyond the couch on the floor, Beomgyu and Taehyun were nestled together, watching the movie as it began. Comparing Soobin and Yeonjun with them, Kai couldn't help but hope that the former two would start dating each other soon too, even if it hurt him.

As the movie progressed, Kai was engrossed in the world of Jay Gatsby in total amazement. "I wonder how it feels to love someone that bad," Kai wondered though he thought that he too had felt similar feelings, had experienced similar circumstances where the other hadn't reciprocated his own feelings as passionately.

"It was more of idolization than love, that's what makes it so sad," Yeonjun spoke up softly as the ending credits rolled. He had been quietly crying on Soobin's shoulder.

"Poor man Gatsby, dude," Beomgyu commented, wiping away his stray tears.

"He brought it to himself," Taehyun bluntly reminded, though he too was wiping away tears of his own.

"This movie kills me every single time, man," Kai lamented, slumping on the couch.

"I love this movie so much though," Soobin said, tears still flowing down his face.

"It's a good movie, Yeonjun smiled, wiping way Soobin's tears.

The boys got up and stretched, Yeonjun excused himself to use the washroom while Kai too, went to another one in the house.

As soon as the other two boys were out of earshot, Beomgyu hung his arm over Taehyun's shoulder and faced Soobin from down on the carpet, "Hyung, are you and Yeonjun-hyung a thing?"

Turning instantly bright red, Soobin hurriedly cried, "No!"

"Heh? Really? You like him though, right?"Beomgyu egged on.

"What? I- I- uhh," Soobin hesitated, unsure of his feelings.

"You don't?" Taehyun was surprised.

"I mean, uhh I don't know, maybe just a little bit," Soobin shyly looked down.

"I knew it! So you guys are going to date or what?" Beoemgyu asked, excitement laced in his voice.

"He's just a friend, really," Soobin softly said.

"But you want to be more than just friends, right?" Beomgyu continued.

"I mean, I do really like him but I don't know."

"You don't know?" Beomgyu was confused.

"He's-He's just a friend I really like a lot," Soobin stuttered.

"So you don't want to date him?" Taehyun asked.

"I don't know if I like him like that" Soobin sighed, disappointed in himself for not being able to sort out his own feelings.

"Do you feel like you want to kiss him and stuff?" Beomgyu curiously asked.

"K-Kiss?!"

"Yeah, kiss, hold hands with, go on dates and everything," Beomgyu stated.

Soobin, now fully blushing, wondered out loud, "Do I want to do all that with Yeonjunnie...?"

"Well do you?" Taehyun asked.

There was a short silence before Soobin shyly confessed, "I do."

"Then go for it, my dude!" Beomgyu cheered.

"No, I couldn't. Yeonjunnie would be so disgusted," Soobin hurriedly said.

"I don't even know how you can say that when Yeonjun is totally so in love with you, hyung," Beomgyu deadpanned.

"Huh?"

"Yeah," Taehyun stated.

"C'mon you two, just because you two are and I am, doesn't mean that everyone else is gay too," Soobin tried to laugh it off.

"Yeah, everyone isn't but we know Yeonjun-hyung is. That too, for you," Taehyun said.

"How do you know?"

"We just know, hyung. You should try and experiment, see it for yourself," Beomgyu said with confidence.

"Try and experiment with what?" Soobin felt unsure and awkward.

"With Yeonjun-hyung, confess to him, take him on a date or something. Heck, just outright kiss him!" Beomgyu happily babbled on.
