Taking
chances
The
front door of the cafe opens making the little bell ring. Doojoon
lifts his gaze to the entrance and a wide smile appears on his face
as he waves his hand to the blond’s attention. Yoseob smiles back
and makes his way to the table. He leans forward and pecks the older
on the lips before settling down across from him.
‘Hey’
Doojoon greets smiling fondly.
‘I’m
late, sorry’ Yoseob says quietly biting on his lip. Doojoon
chuckles, he’s always amazed about how cute his Seobbie can be.
Yes, his Seobbie. Doojoon isn’t afraid of labels and
even if he usually doesn’t like to sound cheesy, he does like pet
names.
‘A
happy Junhyung can be a real pain, he won’t stop nagging’ the
little blond adds.
And
he goes on and on rambling about this and that. Oh, don’t
misunderstand, Doojoon genuinely likes it. His elbow on the table
with his left hand supporting his chin, he just stares at his
boyfriend with a smile that never fades. It takes some time before
the younger notices the stare and he abruptly stops in his words.
‘What?’
‘Nothing’
and indeed the smile never leaves his lips.
‘Are
you even listening?’ Yoseob asks tilting his head on a side and
fails to sound annoyed.
‘It
was something about Junhyung, wasn’t it?’ Doojoon retaliates as
he doesn’t even try to sound jealous.
‘Why?
Jealous?’ Yoseob answers with a playful smile.
Doojoon’s
hands fall flat against the table as he leans closer to the other.
Their faces inches apart.
‘I
should be. You still don’t want to tell ‘em’ he says defiantly.
‘Tell
Kikwang and he’ll make us treat him diner for the rest of our lives
as a thank you gift’ Yoseob says back and they both burst into
laughter.
‘True’
Doojoon agrees in between laughs. The kid actually believes he is the
one who finally introduced Yoseob to Doojoon a few months ago. Little
does he know that destiny has his own way as the two men met an hour
earlier without any help.
‘Should
we get going?’ Yoseob asks a moment after they both drank their
coffee. Doojoon nods and leaves money on their table before they exit
the shop.
They
spend the whole day enjoying the other’s company, wandering in the
streets and occasionally making a stop in a random shop. On days like
this Doojoon feels like a carefree child for his mind only revolves
around the sun-like boy gripping his hand. On days like this he’s
reminded that life can be that easy and that sometimes, even only a
little few times, putting your heart on strike is worthy. All is
about taking chances. At the thought, his throat turns dry.
As
he licks what remains of his ice cream on his thumb Yoseob stops in
his track again.
‘Doojoonie...
You’ve been staring at me the whole day’ he whines but the other
is silent.
‘What
is it?’ Yoseob insists with a pout.
Doojoon
remains silent still staring for a little while but then he smiles.
‘I
love you’
Yoseob’s
shoulders tense as the boy blushes faintly. Doojoon can’t hear the
boy’s heart loudly pounding in his ears. He can’t feel the sudden
weakness in Yoseob’s knees. He barely notices the tears gathering
in his eyes and little does he know that they are tears of joy and
gratefulness. Of pride. They both know what those words mean to each
other. They know it too well but all of a sudden the threatening
shadow of the past seems to be gone.
Yoseob
reaches for his cell phone, dials a number and brings it to his ear
in a blink of an eye. Doojoon is suddenly puzzled and a bit afraid of
Yoseob’s reaction.
‘Seobbie
I-’ but Yoseob stops him with a hand on his mouth as he speaks on
the phone.
‘Ah,
Kikwangie. Yes. Well, let’s meet tonight. Yes, the six of us.
There’s something I need to tell’ and soon after he hangs up.
There’s
silence again but this time Doojoon’s smile returns as he wraps his
arms around the shorter male. Yoseob leans in and rests his head on
the shoulder he’s offered. Under his palm he can feel Doojoon’s
heart beating fast.
‘Doojoonie’
‘Hm?’
‘I
love you too’
Yes,
taking chances can lift you up where you belong.
A/N:
Just a question, does “put one’s heart on strike” even mean
something? It came to me naturally but as I re read it, it feels
weird... Still I hope you understood what I meant! Sometimes I really
sucks with words I’m sorry T.T
