Words: 3,600
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Time feels flimsy and skewed and slow, so when the boy lifts his head and stares at him with an unreadable expression, Jonghyun doesn’t feel embarrassed, doesn’t realize he’s been staring a few minutes too long. There’s something sad about the boy. The slant of his eyes, the chewed bottom lip, the prominence of his collarbones; Jonghyun can’t place it but looking at him makes a knot tie up in his stomach, has him wondering where melancholy comes from.
