silence of the stars

jihoon sat up in this bed and sighed. today was one of the many nights he couldn't fall asleep. he looked to his bed side table and grabbed his glasses, putting them on and stifling back a yawn. he picked up his phone and mentally cursed when he was blinded by the brightness. 1:13. he put it back on the table before getting up and walking over to the window and gazing at the sky. he could hear the light patter of rain against the window as he opened it, breathing in the fresh night air. closing his eyes, he started humming to a song he had stuck in his head for most of the day and just enjoyed the peacefulness of his neighbourhood.

after a few minutes of mindfulness thinking, he opened his eyes and moved to close the window again when the light from the house infront turned on, revealing a boy who looked roughly around his age walking over to the piano in the corner of his room. jihoon stopped and debated whether to go to bed or listen to the boy play, deciding on the second option and propping his window back open.

the boy sat down and fumbled around for a second until he started playing the keys, starting of slow. gradually it built up, but not to much, and jihoon found himself closing his eyes and swaying from side to side, feeling the emotion the latter put into playing. he smiled as the piece came to an end and let out a relaxed breath. he opened his eyes to see the other looking at him, curiosity covering his face.

jihoons eyes widened as he quickly ducked down out of the latters sight, his cheeks becoming a light pink colour. well done jihoon. now you have to make it look like you weren't just listening to him play. jihoon sighed before slowly pushing himself up, mentally preparing himself for the latter to still be looking at him wierdly.

to his surprise, when he looked towards the others window, he was sat on a chair holding a whiteboard with the words 'hi i'm junkyu' on it. jihoon stared at the boy, now identified as junkyu, for a few seconds before holding up a finger, motioning him to wait a minute. it would be rude to ignore him he thought, finding any reason to talk to the cute boy in front of him. he left to his table and grabbed a notebook and pen, positioning himself back in front of his window before starting to write.

[ bold = junkyu, normal = jihoon ]

'i'm jihoon'
'were you listening to me play?' jihoon looked down slightly embarrassed, hearing junkyu's laugh from his room. cute.
'yeah you're good'
'thanks. i learnt that piece recently' jihoon found himself staring at junkyu's smile before he quickly snapped out of the trance he was in and began writing again.
'how come i've never heard you play before?'
'i started playing recently' he held it up, before rubbing it out and writing again.
'i just moved from my dad's house to my mum's house [here]'
'do they not live together?'
'no they seperated when i was younger' despite the sad words, there was still a smile on his face.
'i'm sorry to hear that'
'its fine, i'm used to it' jihoon thought of asking a question when he stopped himself. no you'll just sound wierd. he thought about it again before starting to write it down. you're not a panicked gay, you're confident. BE CONFIDENT JIHOON.
'can you play again?' even though it was night time, the light from the moon showed a deep red colour across junkyu's face before he nodded and turned towards his piano.

after a minute he started playing again, this time singing along with it. jihoon couldn't help but close his eyes and listen to the youngers voice. it was nice, almost like he had trained for years, and jihoon slowly started to feel more comfortable and calmer as the other went on. the song ended and junkyu turned around, looking down at his lap. a smile spread across jihoons face as he opened his eyes and started writing again.
'you're really good at singing'
'thanks'

they both sat there for a while, waiting for someone to say something until jihoon picked up his pen and started writing, the sudden movement startling the younger.
'can i have your number?' jihoon could visibly see junkyu's eyes widen at the question and immediately regretted asking. now he's going to think you're wierd and leave. well done jihoon. to his surprise, junkyu picked up his pen and started writing, a small smile spreading across his face.
'***********' jihoon smiled and walked to his table, picking up his phone and angled it away from him before he turned it on, learning from his previous mistake.

he turned his brightness down before walking back over to the window. junkyu held the whiteboard up again and jihoon quickly added the others number to his contacts. junkyu ♡. he tapped the call button and pulled his phone towards his ear, watching the youngers confused face. he waited until he heard the loud ringtone coming from junkyu's phone, making the younger jump 3 feet in the air. he huridly ran to pick up the phone, pulling it to his ear once jihoon had heard his ringtone stop.

"sorry about that," jihoon said smiling at the boy in front of him.
"it's fine. i probably shouldn't have it on full volume at night anyway." they laughed and jihoon noticed how whipped he was for junkyu's laugh. shit.

they talked back and forth for a few minutes, laughing about random things and getting to know eachother more, the elder finding out that junkyu was transfering to his school soon and that he had been a child model. which, to be honest, explained a lot of things like how his eyes sparkled when he spoke and how his smile was so bright it almost hurt jihoons eyes. these were all things jihoon noted in his head whilst talking to the younger, growing to like him more than when he first started talking to him, if that was possible.

"i'm going to head to bed now so i guess i'll see you at school tomorrow?" junkyu said slightly hoping the older agreed.
"yeah sure do you wan't me to walk you to school? i can come over after i'm ready, the school's not that far away," junkyu nodded with a slight smile before beginning to talk again.
"i would like that."

they said their goodnights before junkyu hung up and waved to the elder, sending him a smile and closing the curtains. jihoon smiled to himself and backed away from the window, closing his blinds and making his way to his bed. getting under the covers, he couldn't help but think of the younger boy. his smile. his laugh. his eyes. even just his speaking voice. everything was amazing and he realized he really wanted to be friends, if not more, with this boy.

little did he know that said boy was thinking the exact same thing.
