The next morning, Geonhak woke up at about 7:00 am. But, instead of staying in bed like usual, he actually got up and opened his window. He breathed in the morning air and smiled to himself thinking about meeting Dongju again that night. He turned away from outside and walked downstairs to get himself something to eat. The rest of the day passed pretty quickly for him. It was a mix of sadness, and loneliness. For the first time in months, Geonhak went through the camera roll on his phone. He was looking at all the photos of him and Seoho. He slowly began deleting the ones that he didn't like as much and only kept his very favorite ones. He didn't want to completely erase that part of his life. Even though Seoho had hurt him, he had also taught him many valuable things and they had spent so many good times together. After that, he found himself sinking back into sadness. Not as intense as before but still. He also found himself doing something he hadn't done in a long time. He cried. He let all of his emotions out. All of his anger, his pain, his sadness, and his loneliness. He cried violently for many hours until it was dark outside. By then the worst of his tears had passed although a few still fell down his face and he was still shaking uncontrollably. Crying was something that Geonhak hasn't done since the first week or two after breaking up with Seoho. He had buried his emotions and slowly began drowning in them. Surprisingly, crying felt good. He had finally allowed himself to express his emotions instead of keeping them inside. Geonhak lay in his bed until it got to be about 11:45 pm. He slowly sat up and began getting ready to go outside and meet Dongju again. By the time it was 12:10 am, he was walking outside towards the wall. Dongju was already sitting there waiting for him. They looked at each other and the boy waved. Geonhak waved back and hopped up on the wall beside Dongju.
"Hi." Dongju Said while giving Geonhak a bright smile.
"Hey." He Replied also while giving a small smile.
"How are you?" Asked Dongju.
"I'm okay. You?" He responded.
"I'm fine."
The two sat there in silence for a few minutes before Geonhak broke it by saying
"We don't really know anything about each other so should we talk about ourselves a little? You don't have to tell me anything personal of course. Don't share anything you don't feel comfortable with sharing."
Dongju looked up at him and nodded as a response.
"I'll go first." Geonhak Said. "My full name is Kim Geonhak, I'm 23 years old, my favorite type of music is Kpop, and I enjoy singing and working out."
Dongju smiled at him.
"You sound like a very interesting person."
Geonhak looked over at him. He had never really considered himself extremely interesting so he was surprised that Dongju had said that.
"My turn!" Dongju Said happily with the most adorable smile Geonhak had ever seen.
"My full name is Son Dongju, I'm 20 years old, my favorite song is Regulus by ONEWE, and I love to dance."
Geonhak smiled. He couldn't help it! Just hearing Dongju's pretty voice and seeing his cute face made him happy.
"Your favorite song is Regulus by ONEWE?" Geonhak Questioned.
"Yeah." Dongju Said shyly.
He didn't want Geonhak to not like the song. It was a slow song and he didn't know if Geonhak liked to listen to that kind of music.
"That's my favorite song too." Geonhak said, smiling at the small boy.
Dongju looked up at him and smiled back brightly. At that moment, their eyes met and they both sat there thinking about how the others eyes sparkled and were very beautiful. Not sure of what else to say the pair sat there in silence admiring each other's features. Geonhak noticed how bright Dongju's eyes were, how soft his lips looked, and how cute his small frame was. Dongju was looking at how pretty Geonhak's hair was, how gentle his smile was, and how attractive his muscular body was. After a few minutes Geonhak broke the silence by saying how he should go and Dongju immediatley stopped staring at him and looked away, blushing and embarrassed. They then said goodbye to each other, and agreed to meet again the next night.
