end of the day | seongjoong

chapter fifty

after the final bell rang through the school, seonghwa quickly grabbed whatever books he needed for the day and headed towards hongjoong's locker. hongjoong was finally going to meet seonghwa's parents, and seonghwa was very excited about it.

as he approached hongjoong's locker, he poked the younger's sides, startling him a bit. hongjoong jumped up and turned around, smiling once he noticed it was only seonghwa who had poked him. he began giggling, closing his locker and picking up his backpack to head out of the building with the older.

"you're so silly, seongie!" hongjoong playfully hit the older.

"i just wanted to get your attention, joongie. come on, let's go to my house now." seonghwa smiled and began walking towards the exit of the school. hongjoong followed closely behind, walking with a bounce in his step.

even though the boy was extremely nervous to meet seonghwa's parents, he was even more nervous to talk about the kiss. after seonghwa had kissed hongjoong yesterday, they never discussed it. hongjoong was dying to talk to the older about it, but he didn't want to be the first one to bring it up.

what if he hated the kiss? maybe that's why he's not talking about it... but he said it was the best kiss he'd ever had, but what if he was lying? what if he said that to make me feel better?

they made their way to the student parking lot and seonghwa unlocked the car doors, both boys taking their seats in the driver's and passenger's sides. seonghwa backed out of the spot and started driving off, taking hongjoong's hand and holding it in his own as his other hand held onto the steering wheel.

"seongie, i can't wait to see your house!" hongjoong began speaking over the background music seonghwa was playing through the speakers.

"i'm excited for you to see it too. i'll show you around my room and everything!" seonghwa glanced over to hongjoong and smiled, hongjoong's heart fluttering at the boy's beauty.

"will your mommy and daddy be at your house when we get there?" hongjoong nervously asked.

"no, they're both at work still. my mom will be home at around five and my dad comes home at six, is that ok?" seonghwa replied and hongjoong let out a big breathe he was holding in.

"that's great! now i get some time to calm my nerves beforehand." hongjoong giggled and seonghwa squeezed hongjoong's hand in reassurance.

"baby, i already told you this yesterday. my parents are going to love you, you have nothing to worry about! i mean it." seonghwa said and hongjoong nodded his head, not wanting to speak more on the matter.

they pulled up to a rather small yet beautiful house. hongjoong smiled, seeing all the beautiful trees with different colored leaves standing tall in front of seonghwa's beige home. seonghwa put his car in park and turned it off before stepping out of the vehicle. hongjoong followed, hopping out and taking his backpack with him.

"you have such a pretty house!" hongjoong complimented as the boys walked up to the front door, seonghwa turning the key to unlock the white door.

"thank you, joongie." seonghwa answered, "now, here's my house!" he cheered with open arms.

hongjoong stepped in and looked around as seonghwa locked the door behind them. seonghwa laughed at how adorable hongjoong looked with his big doe eyes looking at each and every corner of the house.

"want me to show you around?" seonghwa asked and hongjoong nodded his head vigorously.

"yes!" hongjoong replied and seonghwa first took the boy to the living room, showing him the cozy space where his family typically hangs out after long days at work and school.
