One Step Forward; Two Steps Back (0/?)

One step forward. One step back.
Where does Jongin go from here?



Time was frozen, at a standstill. Neither moved, two pairs of eyes widened, engaged in a sort of staring contest. Neither could say who was more surprised. Their breaths mixed, coming out as white puffs in the winter’s air.

Kyungsoo pressed himself against the brick wall, his body rigid, two palms flat against the red bricks, feeling the texture through his gloves. He couldn’t see beyond the pools of brown that were so deep he was afraid he’d drown in them. Those eyes looked frightened, staring at him as if beckoning for an answer. He didn’t have one to give. With the blood rushing through his veins, he didn’t have time to think, to react. His mind was blank of thoughts, he could only feel: the cold that permeated through his gloves, the hot breath fanning his face, the scent of Jongin as it filled his nostril.

Jongin couldn’t move. He wanted to lower the hands pressed against the wall, on both sides of Kyungsoo’s head, trapping him to that very spot. He had always imagined this situation differently - and Kyungsoo had never been in any of them. Instead it had been a nice girl with whom he had known awhile and deduced that he liked her. In his situation, he knew what he was doing as he kissed her, as they confirmed their relationship. However, this was completely different. He didn’t know what he was doing and he wasn’t sure what he kind of a relationship he wanted with Kyungsoo - all he knew was that he might have just destroyed a friendship.

“I’m…” He couldn’t get the words out. He wasn’t sorry. He didn’t want to take the kiss back. Oh God, what was wrong with him?

“It’s getting cold,” Kyungsoo said, leaning away from the wall and towards him, forcing him to move back, too. “We should go inside.”

“Kyungsoo.”

“Just drop it, please.”

“Kyungsoo, wait!”

But the shorter male wasn’t slowing down, didn’t turn around at his call and in that moment Jongin knew that he had just lost his best friend.
