what was he thinking?
it wasn't right, and will never be but somehow it made sense. he didn't like it but at the same time, he does.
it felt weird of course, that peculiar feeling he has been experiencing ever since from the start tend too come back and forth.
but despite this, despite the word and confirmation almost slipping down his tongue, he couldn't bring himself to spit it out. he couldn't tell them that maybe, just maybe, it was right and he was just in the period of being in denial.
jeongwoo came into his sense, finding out that he is already familiar with the streets and buildings they were passing by, indicating that his apartment building is close by.
he accompanied haruto for the directions, knowing that haruto was still not familiar with the correct address despite being there for once. the thought dissipated inside his mind, but was still in the very corner without being forgotten.
a few minutes passed by and they already went inside jeongwoo's apartment building with jeongwoo leading the way.
haruto was just trailing behind him as they went up the floor, an then another floor. as they stood in front jeongwoo's room, the latter felt an uneasy feeling.
will his apartment be clean enough for haruto to take a rest? will his room take a liking for haruto? he did not know.
not wasting any time, jeongwoo twisted the doorknob before slowly pushing it to open, creating a creaking noise and a peek inside the room.
opening it properly and widening the gap, the apartment was finally seen. so far, it was clean and tidy for them to rest to. jeongwoo heaved a sigh of relief before taking off his shoes and taking a step inside the room.
"im sorry haruto, my apartment is kinda small," jeongwoo awkwardly laughed, knowing that he still had haruto's opinion to deal with.
he didn't know why he felt a sudden urge to make everything perfect when it comes to haruto. he had the urge to make everything alright for haruto to satisfy his taste.
was it because their gap? because haruto was way too far for his league?
"no, its okay," haruto answered amidst taking his shoes off and then taking a step, following jeongwoo who was already cleaning some of the mess that were in disarray.
jeongwoo didn't know if haruto actually meant that, describing the male as a straightforward, savage, an an enigma. it was hard to read what's going on inside his mind, and that's what makes it harder for him to understand. but if haruto said so, then that's what he'll believe.
jeongwoo nodded in response, sitting at the couch right across the television before turning to haruto who was still standing just a few distance away from the entrance, not knowing what to do.
jeongwoo mentally slapped himself for leaving his guest behind just like that before calling him, "haruto! sit here."
harto nodded in response, making his way towards jeongwoo's direction and sitting down beside him with a small gap.
engulfed with a sudden silent atmosphere, jeongwoo realized that they had no foods to eat while watching the movie, that would be a bore.
"haruto what do you want to eat? do you want me to order something?" jeongwoo asked, turning around to haruto to properly communicate, but then somehow regretted it after.
haruto was extremely gorgeous, his flawless porcelain skin and his strands of hair falling down, covering parts of his forehead. it made his heart skip a beat, for a moment, before gaining control to suppress the overly admiration towards him.
he saw how haruto thinks for something before responding, "do you know how to cook?"
jeongwoo questioned inside his head, as to why haruto was asking him an odd option not being mentioned on his suggestion, but then nodded in response.
he saw how haruto smiled a little, and he swear he almost fell down the couch and melt. he only sees haruto smile for once in a while, once in a blue moon, and he finally saw a glimpse of haruto smiling.
he was the type of person who doesn't smile frequently, but jeongwoo being the person who was part of the few people who maybe saw haruto smile was enough for him.
he swear, he had the warmest smile he had ever seen yet, and somehow he wanted him to smile just for him.
"then, can you cook for me? i want to taste your cooking."
