SONGKIM FANFIC COMPILATION

A Love Story

Unable to sleep after a day filled with schedule, Jinwoo and Mino were sitting together at their living room, content at the silence. It's a welcoming silence, a serene silence, a needed silence after the busyness of their ending day.

Mino was looking at the coffee table, a book was lying there, one of his poetry books. Jinwoo was staring at the ceiling. The room was dimly lit for their tired eyes to have a bit of rest. One of them sighed first. The other followed. Mino scooted more on the sofa and laid back. Jinwoo briefly looked at him.

They both closed their eyes at the very same second. Their hearts were beating steadily, the beats were similar with each other, exactly similar like their hearts were one. But they weren't aware of this synchronicity. Just like how they weren't aware of certain things...yet.

"Hmm..." Then they opened their eyes. Again, at the same time.

"Mino." "Hyung."

"You first." "You first."

If Seunghoon or Seungyoon was with them, he'll be so frustrated. "You first, hyung."

"Okay." But then, "I forgot what I'm going to say."

Mino chuckled. "Are you really going to say something?"

Jinwoo shrugged. "What are going to say?"

"What kind of love story do you want to have?"

Jinwoo yawned.

Mino followed.

"I don't really know."

"Do you want a love story where you have to work hard for, or something that just comes unexpectedly?"

"Neither."

"Neither?"

Jinwoo hummed. "I just want a love that's real." He yawned once more.

Mino followed once again. "You should sleep, hyung."

"You should too, Mino-ya." But neither of them stood up or even moved. "How about you?"

Mino thought for a while, not really expecting Jinwoo to return his question to him. He smiled. "I can't think of an answer better than yours so I guess that's what I want too. A love that's real is the best."

Jinwoo closed his eyes. "Good."

"Good?"

"Hmm."

"Are you tired?"

"Yes."

"Go to your room, hyung."

Jinwoo stood up.

Then sat down again.

"Why?"

"Nothing. I'm too tired to walk."

Mino chuckled. "Rest your head on my shoulder, hyung. You can sleep here."

Jinwoo nodded. He scooter closer to Mino and did what he was told.

"Comfortable?"

"Yes. Thanks."

"No worries." Mino closed his eyes too.

They fell asleep at the exact same second.

~~~

A week later, Mino was sitting at the sofa in their living room. He was alone this time. Jinwoo was inside his room, already asleep. Mino didn't know why but he felt so lonely being there by himself. He wanted to knock on Jinwoo's door. It was weird how the urge was so strong.

A week later, Jinwoo was lying on his bed. He was wide awake, staring at his ceiling. He didn't know why but he felt so lonely. He wanted to call Mino, know where he was, and go where he was. It was weird how the urge was so strong.

~~~

Another week later, Mino and Jinwoo found themselves together in their living room, sitting side-by-side on their sofa. Mino just got home from an art exhibit. Jinwoo just got home too from his sister's house.

"Hyung." "Mino."

"You go first."

"How would you know if love is real?"

Jinwoo turned his head to Mino. He was already looking at him. "How would you?"

"I don't know."

"Neither do I."

They didn't say anything after that. There was silence, a very comfortable silence.

~~~

It took another week. Another week for their hands to hold each other. They fit perfectly, but it wasn't any surprising. "You were great today, hyung."

"And so are you, Mino-ya."

"Do you wanna sleep on my shoulder tonight?"

"Yes. I'd like that."

~~~

Then more weeks come by after that like that. They both took everything slowly, ever so carefully, not wanting to rush anything but wanting to show how they feel, what they feel for each other.

"Hyung?"

"Hm?" It was after a long day again, in their living room again. Mino was lying on Jinwoo's lap this time. Jinwoo was playing with his hair.

"I think this is real."

Jinwoo grinned. "Oh."

"Oh?"

"Oh."

Mino sat up. "What does that mean?"

Jinwoo pulled Mino so he could go back to lying down on his lap. Then he dipped his head and kissed his nose. Mino smiled. "Rest."

Mino hummed and closed his eyes. Jinwoo leaned back and closed his eyes too.
