Ephemera Of Ruins || SS

Joshua Hong was everything anyone could want - kind, pretty, and lovable.
But the problem? He was distant. With everyone. To everyone.

What will happen when Seokmin Lee, the sunshine, comes in and confesses out of nowhere. Saying whispers of nothing- or atleast that's what Joshua thought.

But then, even after agreeing due to ofcourse - kindness. Why did Joshua felt unraveling infront of the other male.

According to him, it wasn't anything, just a fleeting moment of crush everyone had. But the way he said "Yes." in the silence gnawed at him real and raw.

Why? Joshua was never the one to present himself and his thoughts so easily. Then why now?

When Seokmin stood infront of him, easy and steady, why did he feel the strength to let go off his restrain everytime?

This wasn't the usual Joshua. This wasn't how he learnt to spend his life.

But when Seokmin stood at his door, whispering "Ready for the breakfast?" like it was nothing hard. Like it was something he's been doing since his birth.

Like it was 'this' he was meant to do.

And everytime, Joshua found himself leaning more and more. Until he himself wouldn't be able to save the drowning body of him, floating carelessly.

But then, whenever he was in Seokmin's arms, he confessed, "a little risk is worth a while if I have you. . ."

Then they'd laugh. Like it's nothing. Like Joshua is in love. Like he isn't killing himself, too.
