"Are you mad hyung? Please don't be mad!" Before Hyunjin could even respond, Jeongin had enveloped him in a warm hug, nuzzling his head in the crook of his neck. "I-If you're mad, I'll keep hugging you in public whi-which you don't like so-"

Hyunjin wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling him even closer against his chest.

"I'm fuming," he whispered, locking his fingers behind Jeongins' back. "Don't let people do that to you. Don't just sit around passively feeling uncomfortable. Ju-just don't."

"Do...do you care for me hyung?"

"What do you think?"

The pair remained silent, neither wanting to disrupt the moment until they both felt drops of rain falling, slow at first but progressively getting stronger.

Hyunjin quickly released Jeongin and dragged him to the nearest shelter which was a convenience store and the second that they got inside, Jeongin audibly gasped at the assortment of food that lay before him and, disregarding the fact that he was soaking wet as he piled snack after snack into his arms, Hyunjin quietly trailing behind him and watching how his eyes sparkled every time he came across a strawberry flavoured snack. 

From the corner of his eye, Hyunjin could see people murmuring and pointing at Jeongin, the younger boy having had completely discarded his mask because of it being drenched by the rain. 

"Yang, can you hurry up and choose your snacks? It's getting late," Hyunjin asked, tapping his foot against the tiled floors as Jeongin nodded, picking out another bag of chips before waddling over to the cashier who immediately smiled the second she came face to face with Yang Jeongin himself. 

She opened her mouth to speak but was immediately silenced by Hyunjin passing her his card to pay for everything that Jeongin had wanted and had gotten for them, his eyes shooting daggers at her as he did so. 

Once they left, Jeongins' adoring fans stared at him from the windows as he happily looked through his plastic bag of goodies. 

But, the smile on his face quickly wavered the second the thunder crashed, his entire body tensing up as the bags of snacks fell from his hands which immediately covered his ears instinctively, his eyes screwing shut in the progress. 

Hyunjin sighed and picked up the bags with one hand while his other hand quickly tried to grasp Jeongins'. 

"If you want to have a mental breakdown, my place is nearby." Jeongin looked up at him, tears forming as lightning struck and, although he didn't utter a word, Hyunjin knew that he just wanted someplace warm to hide until the rain had ceased. "I'll bring you to my place then but if you tell anybody, I will hate you for the rest of my life." 

Slowly, Hyunjin led Jeongin to his place, quickly wrapping an arm around him every time the thunder crashed or lightning struck and eventually, they had made their way to Hyunjins' apartment and when he opened the door, Jeongin was greeted by blacks and whites, his entire apartment mimicking his own sense of fashion. 

After Hyunjin had locked the door, he placed the bags on the kitchen counter and when he turned around, he saw Jeongin curled up in a ball on the floor, the sight so familiar to him that he could barely suppress a smile from forming on his face. 

"Why are you on the floor?" He asked, squatting down in front of him and folding his arms, an unreadable expression painted across his face. Before Jeongin could even answer, the thunder roared angrily, causing Jeongin to jump and immediately place his head against Hyunjins' chest, the steady beating of his heart somehow comforting the younger boy amidst the noise that came from the rain outside. "Are you always going to cling onto me like this?"

Jeongin nodded, taking in deep breaths as he continued holding onto Hyunjin, refusing to let go for even a fraction of a second. 

And, when Hyunjin couldn't find the words to say, he found himself gently rubbing circles onto Jeongins' back, soothing the boy until he fell asleep in his arms, Hyunjin carrying him and placing him on top of his bed.

As he was about to leave him to rest, he felt a tug on his arm and when he turned around, his eyes met Jeongins'.

"Stay with me."

"Stay with me." A boy with round eyes had once said to him before and as lightning hit right by the window, Hyunjin could've sworn that for a brief moment, that same boy with bright eyes filled with tears had appeared before him once more.

"Please?"

And, just as how he had done so many years ago, he nodded and lay down next to the boy, pulling him into a warm embrace and slowly lulling him to sleep.

"HWANG HYUNJIN AND YANG JEONGIN SPOTTED TOGETHER : ARE THE TWO ON GOOD TERMS?"
by kim yua

Recently, videos of the up and coming actor Hwang Hyunjin alongside one of the nation's most well known actors' Yang Jeongin have been circulating the Internet leaving fans to wonder what is going on between the pair.

Ever since the announcement of the cast of Kang Younghyun's new movie Mixtape, fans have been quick to notice the rather cold nature of Hwang Hyunjin, the boy seemingly disinterested in everything and anything his cast members had to say or do.

But, fans soon started noticing how he had begun leaving more and more comments on Yang Jeongin's Instagram account ( @yangin ) and, to add on to all of their speculations, the pair were seen dining together.

Adding fuel to fire was the fact that when a particularly touchy fan had gotten too close to Jeongin, Hyunjin was said to immediately have reacted by intimidating and threatening the girl before dragging the boy out of the restaurant.

Some sources claim to have seen the pair holding hands but since neither parties have said anything, we can neither confirm nor dismiss the fact that perhaps, there may be something between them.
