Little Chats

Seonghwa and Yeosang finally made it to one of the many picnic tables under the shade of lush trees in the courtyard, and they quietly sat across from one another.

"So you stayed with Hongjoong last night?" Yeosang said with a cheeky voice and a smirk, pushing the inevitable conversation he suspected was coming to the side.

Yeosang's smirk stretched into a flat line however, as Seonghwa pressed a slender finger against his lips from across the table.

The older shook his head "NoooOoo, I want to talk about you first".

Seonghwa removed his finger from Yeosang's lips and clasped both of hands in front of him on the picnic table.

Yeosang sat up a little straighter, that seed of worry still floating in the air. "W-what did you want to talk about?" He stuttered, his nerves continuing tho get the best of him.

Seonghwa narrowed his eyes and starred at Yeosang. Yeosang remained quiet silently bracing for impact.

Suddenly Seonghwa smacked his lips breaking them out of their awkward trance "For starters I just want you to know that all I want is for you to be happy, and I like to hope that you feel comfortable with telling me about things in your life just as I do about my life for you, and while I'm not an expert I'd like you to know that I am here if you need advice"

Yeosang couldn't help but furrow his brows and tilt his head in confusion, not only did Seonghwa's words confuse him, but what he had just said also sounded eerily similar to something Wooyoung had said to him.

Yeosang went to open his mouth to question where Seonghwa was going with this strange speech but Seonghwa made a sharp shushing sound that had Yeosang closing his mouth and holding tight once more.

Seonghwa nodded in contentment once it was clear for him that Yeosang wasn't going to speak, and he gripped his hands together, his knuckles going white.

Although Seonghwa sounded quite confident in his words a lot of the time, it were subtle things like his hands right now that reminded and signalled to Yeosang that Seonghwa was still a timid person and shy person, and some conversations made him uncomfortable.

Yeosang already suspected the conversation to come, and his heart pounded as he tried to sit still and not fidget, as fidgeting would make Seonghwa uneasy.

Seonghwa took a breath, looking into the distance for a brief second before aligning his gaze with Yeosang's once more and confirming what Yeosang feared.

"I know what you were doing yesterday Yeosang. . ." Seonghwa said, his voice almost monotone.

Yeosang's heart dropped, all blood dropping from his face and rendering him pale as a snowflake.

Seonghwa continued "I may not have the experience but I know what I heard, and I heard a lot more than you know so don't deny it. I just hope that whoever you were with truly makes you happy because I don't think I can watch you hurt yourself any longer with relationships that just aren't right for you, you don't deserve anymore sadness, just happiness" He smiled softly before his eyes dropped to his own hands and he released the tight grasp he was inflicting on himself.

Yeosang bit the inside of his cheek, he hadn't expected Seonghwa to say that; a speech about breaking up their friendship or about how he felt uncomfortable with what he heard yes, but simply just wanting him to have a happy relationship and not wanting to see him in relationships that aren't right for him? Yeosang hadn't seen that coming.

Seonghwa reached over and grabbed Yeosang's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I may be over stepping a little here, but I know how much you care for Wooyoung and well. . .I guess I just assumed since you came out that it would be him that you'd be with, that you'd be intimate with. You're already miles ahead of me on so many levels, but know that I say this because we are friends and I trust that you'll at least listen and consider my words. . ."
