Light Bulb
Jungsoo sat on his couch wearily as soon as he got inside his small apartment. He threw his bag at the other end of the couch rather aggressively that almost all of his things inside flew out to the floor. He closed his eyes for a quick nap when suddenly his hand phone began ringing. He didn't want to answer it but the ringing combining with his stress and drowsiness annoyed him. Cursing, he picked it up from the carpet and flipped it open. His expression changed and his heart began to race when he realized who was calling.
"Oh, Youngwoon-ah," he pretended to sound neutral. "what's with you, calling so late in the evening?"
He heard Youngwoon giggle on the other line. "I was looking at a light bulb today."
"It made me think of you and how you light up my world."
His hands began to tremble. Hearing those words, his lips curved into a slight grin uncontrollably. "W-what?"
"Is that okay, hyung?" he heard him giggle once more. "I suck at confessions but I really want to tell this one girl at work what she makes me feel."
Girl.
Jungsoo was surprised and slightly embarrassed of himself. In that short conversation he believed in his words so much, so much that the pain was excruciating. He couldn't help but frown as he talked with Youngwoon and wished he never took the call in the first place.
"It's cheesy but I personally think it's lovely."
"You really think so? I was actually thinking it'll creep her out."
"No, it's perfect if it's coming from you."
He didn't realize that he sounded sad saying that but it's not that he was willing to hide his feelings from him forever. It has been two long years already, and he regretted not telling him about it sooner. Thinking about it, his tears began to form but was hesitating to fall as he threw his head back.
"What do you mean about that, hyung?" he notice the sudden change in Youngwoon's tone.
"Nothing. It just really suits you and I bet she'll love it."
"Oh, okay then! Thanks a lot!"
Jungsoo closed his phone and stared at the light bulb above his head. Silently, he cried. He won't be able to give Youngwoon what he truly desires, he thought. But still despite that, tomorrow, the day after and even beyond that, he knew he'd still be helplessly in love with him.
It means I wish it was meant for me.
While thinking solely of Youngwoon, he cried himself to sleep.

A/N:
1. I fail. OTL
2. Also, this was supposed to be a drabble but I didn't think it'll get this long.
3. I decided to type this down because this is actually what I'm feeling at the moment.
P.S.
I took a few lines from the movie "5 Centimeters Per Second". ^^
Mawr?
