Let's Stop!

Chapter 7: Happy End

"Hey Jisung... H-How much did I hurt you?" Chenle asked the younger while he's now cradled in his arms.

"Why are you asking that hm?" Jisung slid down a little bit to look at the older.

"In my dream you left me because of what I did to you and it was terrifying for me... I realized how cruel that was of me to leave you when you've always been good to me." The smaller frowned as he talked.

"It's my feelings you know, I can't hold that against you if you didn't feel the same way. However, no matter how rational I am, it still hurts. I thought I lost you and I was so confused in which pain I was more drowning from, you not loving me or losing you as my best friend. That's why you don't know how happy I am right now Chenle that you chose to bravely accept me..."
Jisung paused when he felt his lips tremble. He covered his eyes with his palm, tears sliding down the pillow.
"S-so please don't leave me again...I'm not sure if I can go on without you anymore."
The taller struggled to breath as his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions.
"I'll try my best to read and become smarter... just d-don't get tired of me."

"Jisung..." The older pulled the hand that was covering the younger's face.
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of that. I'll do my best to not hurt you again hm?" He cupped the taller's face wiping the tears that lingered on his cheeks.

"We really need to sleep. Jeno and Jaemin are coming over to have hot pot tomorrow and we need to clean." Chenle laid his head on the younger's chest drawing circles on top his torso.
"That tickles!" The taller giggled, catching the smaller's hand in his and pulling it to make Chenle's arm wrap around his waist.
"Let's sleep." The younger kissed him on top of his head before they finally dozed off.

"Yah! Jisung put me down!" The older whined when he was suddenly lifted up by his legs.
"You can reach the ceiling like this. Plus it's much more safer than using a stool." The younger reasoned out.

"I-I can't focus on cleaning when your face is just inches from my butt." The smaller huffed turning red as he confessed.
Jisung loosened his hold and the older slid down. The younger made sure to catch him by the waist.
"I wasn't thinking that until you told me..." The taller cleared his throat and both of them looked away in embarrassment.
They decided to turn at the same time and ended up looking at each other.
Slowly their faces began to lean closer giving in to the pull on their lips.

"Riiiing! Riiiiing!"
Chenle's phone rang and the two love birds were zapped back to the real world.

The smaller removed Jisung's hands and went to the kitchen counter to pick up his phone.
"Chenle we'll be there in around 15 minutes. We're stopping by to buy ice cream what flavors do you want?" Jaemin's cheerful tone reverberated from the other line.
"Choco? I like choco and Jisung likes that too." He glanced sideways and saw the younger finishing the job he left making him smile.

They tidied up the place and set up the kitchen tools for the hot pot, the anticipated guests are the ones bringing the ingredients.

The two are now changing into some nice casual clothes after taking separate showers.
"Come here, I'll fix that for you."
Jisung stood beside the older who's fixing his hair looking at the wall mirror.

The taller was focused on doing magic with his fingers when his lips met a pair of soft ones.
Chenle tiptoed unable to resist the plump treat in front of him.
Jisung's hand slowly moved down to bring the smaller's face closer.
The kiss was so sweet that the taller was about to deepen it when the doorbell rang.
The younger's eyes widened in surprise when the older placed one more unexpected peck before turning to the door mumbling,
"I'll get that."

"By the way I'm guessing you two have finally worked out some things and I'm glad because I have some things to announce too." Jaemin excitedly bit his bottom lip, lifting his arms to wrap around Jeno's.
"We're dating now... He confessed to me and I said yes." The light haired cheerfully declared.

"Wow hyung! I'm so happy for you!" Jisung clapped and sincerely told the older knowing how much he has been waiting for it.

"W-we... I mean u-us too. I finally told him about my feelings." Chenle shyly admitted, his hand crawling towards Jisung, nervously weaving his fingers to that of the younger's under the table.

Jisung blushed turning to look at Chenle in the eyes and smiled.

The friends enjoyed each other's company as they exchanged wonderful stories over good food. The air's filled with love and laughter as their hearts beat in peace and contentment.
