Pairing Junseob
Summary Yoseob has always love Junhyung since the day he laid his eyes on him despite of Junhyung's attitude towards him which almost looks like he hates Yoseob. He is who Yoseob chose to love, despite the fact that his friend, Doojoon has already fallen crazily in love with him.
The two walked silently down the corridor near Yoseob's room. Doojoon decided to walk slowly as he doesn't want to end this peaceful walk with Yoseob so soon. There was a moment of silence until Yoseob broke the silence.
"Sports are tiring" Yoseob joked.
Doojoon didn't say much and just chuckled.
"How do you manage to do sports everyday? I might die from the exhaustion" Yoseob questioned.
"You just need to do sports everyday and maintain your stamina" Doojoon replied. "Your stamina will grow stronger if you exercise everyday"
Yoseob's eyes lit up as he heard Doojoon's words.
"Then will I be like you if I exercise everyday? Strong and active?" Yoseob asked, almost like a kid talking to his hero. "I think my stomach is becoming flabby" Yoseob laughed as he tapped his stomach.
As much as Doojoon wanted to punch him and yell, 'HOW FUCKING CUTE CAN YOU BE?', he controlled himself and gave a smile instead.
"Of course you will" Doojoon said in a soft tone. The younger one smiled but soon turned into a pout when Doojoon added, "But you will never beat me"
"That's so mean" Yoseob pouted. "I swear I'm going to beat you one day" Yoseob poked his tongue out.
Their moments soon ended when both Yoseob and Doojoon stopped in front of Yoseob's room. Doojoon just wanted everything to stop right there. Yoseob is always the reason he felt this way. Is it because he felt lonely, or is it because he had just foolishly fallen into Yoseob? He still needs the correct answer to these feelings.
"That was a great work out. Thanks for coaching me" Yoseob smiled. "See you tomorrow then"
Without a single word, Doojoon watched Yoseob going into the room and disappearing from his sight. He suddenly felt empty after.
Is it because I have fallen for him...? At first sight...?
As Yoseob entered the room, he noticed the lights are out and are replaced by the animated television. Curious of who would be watching television, he looked at the couch to find a sleeping Junhyung. Without having to think, he knew Junhyung was watching television. What made it weird was that Junhyung does not really watches television but stay in his room at this time.
Yoseob walked towards the sleeping boy and squatted down as he watched the boy sleep. He felt relaxing just by watching Junhyung sleeping peacefully. He didn't want to disturb him from his sleep.
"How can you be so adorable even when sleeping?" Yoseob whispered, his index finger going forward slowly reaching towards Junhyung's hair. To his surprise, Junhyung's eyes fluttered open suddenly making Yoseob stumbled backwards and dropped on his butt.
Junhyung quickly sat up and gazed his surroundings with his sleepy eyes. His eyes then landed on Yoseob who's sitting on the floor with a blank look.
"Where...where have you been?" Junhyung groaned sleepily. Yoseob was quite surprised at his question.
"I was...having practice with Doojoon for the...sports day" Yoseob said. There was a pause before Yoseob spoke again. "Were you looking for me?" He asked at the same time his heart flipped, hoping his question got him into the right way.
"Of course! I was waiting for you!" Junhyung replied immediately.
Yoseob's heart skipped a beat hearing his answer. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Was it really true that the bad ass Junhyung was waiting for him? But what for?
"I was waiting for you to..." Junhyung suddenly stopped as he knew that his reason might be funny. His might lose his image if he says that he was waiting for Yoseob to tutor him. He took a pause to find something that could cover his real reason up when his stomach suddenly decided to greet both Yoseob and Junhyung with a loud growl.
Yoseob stared at Junhyung with one of his eyebrows raised. "To come back and cook for you..." Yoseob tried to end his sentence.
Junhyung stared awkwardly at Yoseob before nodding his head slightly.
Yoseob couldn't help but chuckle. "Why not go for a shower first while I make some dinner for you?" Yoseob suggested.
"Tha..." Junhyung started soflty. Stay cool. "...I know what to do" Junhyung said and shuffled towards his room to get his clothes before heading to the bathroom.
Junhyung is still Junhyung..., thought Yoseob as he pouted.
After his shower, he got out of the bathroom and was greeted by the delicious smell of his dinner. He followed the trail of smell leading himself towards the kitchen with his dinner placed on the table. He searched for the younger boy to find him washing the utensils with his apron still on. Yoseob then took a quick glance behind at Junhyung before turning back to wash the utensils.
"Oh you're done" Yoseob said.
Yoseob turned off the tap and wiped his hands as he walked towards Junhyung who was taking his seat near where his late dinner is placed.
"Glad you came out before the dish becomes cold" Yoseob said as he went to the living room to take a bottle of sauce from his bag. Junhyung then automatically focused on Yoseob, watching him walking back and fro.
"And for the finishing touch..." Yoseob poured he sauce, making a smiley face on the dish. "It should taste good putting the sauce right before you eat it" He said as he gave a small smile, not knowing if he should smile or not when looking at Junhyung's expression. Blank, as always.
Junhyung couldn't help but feel soft whenever he noticed how hardworking Yoseob is, even when Junhyung is showing his 'annoyed' expression. Yoseob walked all the way towards his bag, that is lying on the floor near the couch he slept, just to take that one bottle of sauce and make the dinner delicious.
As he took a bite, his heart felt softer every time he chewed the food. Full of sincerity is what he would say.
"How does it... taste?" Yoseob questioned.
Junhyung took quite awhile to swallow his food and clearing his throat. "It's good" Junhyung said loud enough to reach Yoseob before taking a spoonful of food into his mouth. Just by watching this, Yoseob felt really light. Almost like he's about to float into the air. After that dinner, the night went smoothly.
As Saturday came, Yoseob, again, woke up on the couch. He looked around his surroundings with his half-opened eyes as he was curious why the room looked bright early in the morning. When the view of Doojoon suddenly coming into his sight, Yoseob was startled to see Doojoon sitting on the same couch in front of where his legs are laid.
"Oh god! Doojoon you scared me" Yoseob said.
"Oh, sorry" Doojoon apologized as he took a quick glance away from his book he was reading. "Did I wake you up?" He asked as he shut the book up in his hands.
"Hmm?" Yoseob let out a voice. "Oh, no... You didn't" Yoseob gave a chuckle.
Yoseob sat up across the couch as he scratched his head, like he always does when he wakes up. Still sleepy, he let his head fall onto Doojoon's back, giving Doojoon a leap of his heart. Doojoon tried to stay as normal as ever.
"Sleepy?" Doojoon asked, trying to get his tone casual as he ruffled Yoseob's hair over his shoulder, receiving only 'hm' as a reply. "Why not go back to sleep?"
"It's impossible for me to go back to sleep once I have fully woke up" Yoseob said. "By the way, where's Junhyung?" Yoseob questioned, lifting his head to look around the room.
"Oh, he went out to jog. Pretty weird to see him waking up early" Doojoon said. "He usually sleeps like a pig" Doojoon joked. "Not to mention, he kinda tidied the cupboard and put some things in when you were asleep but stopped all his actions as soon as he noticed that I was watching silently all along"
"Even if I knew Junhyung for only a few days, to me that doesn't sound like Junhyung at all" Yoseob said.
"Yeah" Doojoon agreed. "But who knows. He sort of has a soft side just that you can't see it"
"I see..." Yoseob said before the atmosphere become quiet for a while.
"Why not take a shower first and I'll have your breakfast cooked" Doojoon suggested.
"Eh? It's okay I can cook on my own" Yoseob denied.
"You've done quite enough to change our Junnie. Time to take a good rest" Doojoon said, giving Yoseob his reassured smile.
Yoseob could do nothing but watch as Doojoon stood up to make his breakfast. Yoseob couldn't help but stare at Doojoon's back as train of questions go through his mind.
Junhyung tidying? Waking up early? Jogging in the early morning? My ears are not betraying me, are they? What is Doojoonie doing here in the first place?
A/N : Sorry for suddenly disappearing like this. T_T I was just caught up in something that I couldn't resist not watching. Running Man. Gosh that variety is like the most funniest variety I have ever watched. But I do hope you (readers) like this chapter ^^
