Work Text:
Baek Saheon was going to die. This was definitely not good for him, nor his heart. It felt like it was quite literally about to jump out of his ribs. Kim Soleum had planned to kill him.
Baek Saheon swallowed the saliva that had gathered in his mouth and pretended to be busy by looking at the food and drinks spread out before him. He wouldn’t even have come if he wasn’t the representative of his department, and, well, if Kim Soleum didn’t want to go.
His roommate had looked at him with disdain when he laid out his grievances about how he’d rather have an eye poked out than go there. That stare had made Saheon feel ashamed and embarrassed, so he just told himself to get it over with and just go.
Whenever Kim Soleum looked at him with a judgemental glare, he often felt it’d be better if the ground just swallowed him whole. He never failed to look pathetic in front of his crush. It was like a curse.
Said crush was also his best friend, so he was bound to just start yapping away in the other’s presence. As much as he felt intimidated by that guy, he also felt somewhat comfortable around him.
He had been startled when he saw what the other was wearing, but….
Baek Saheon raised his head to look at the bastard who made his heart do somersaults again, regretting it in the very next moment.
Kim Soleum was wearing a strapless black bodysuit, black tights, and bunny ears.
Baek Saheon was pretty sure his face was as red as a tomato right now.
Kim Soleum noticed his gaze and started walking towards him.
Oh fuck. Baek Saheon’s eyes widened. What is he supposed to say? How should he behave? Should he get down on his knees? The fuck!? Why are his hands sweating so much!?
“Where are our other classmates?” Kim Soleum asked, folding his arms over his chest while his eyebrows furrowed. The omega’s sweet scent assaulted his nostrils, and he barely managed to control himself before he started sniffing like a dog.
Baek Saheon barely registered what the other said as his eyes wandered down to Kim Soleum’s chest. They looked so full and Kim Soleum’s folded hands were really making them stand out. He wondered how they’d feel beneath his palms.
Kim Soleum’s waist was really small. His pale skin really stood out against the black material of the suit. He wondered how those milky thighs would feel wrapped around his head—
Kim Soleum flicked his forehead and said, “Eyes up here,” Baek Saheon snapped out of his trance and looked up to see Soleum smirking at him.
“I, uh, the other guys just left to go to a bar nearby and told us three to stay here and manage the booth,” Baek Saheon stammered out nervously, cursing himself internally. He’d been caught staring! Can you even blame him though?
The two other guys in the booth weren’t even trying to hide how shamelessly they were staring. Baek Saheon let out a low growl.
He knew Kim Soleum was pretty. He was the type of person to attract people’s attention just by entering a room. The thing is, this is the first time Baek Saheon had ever seen his best friend dressed like this.
It was right after he had presented as an alpha, that he realized he felt more than friends feel for each other towards Soleum. The thing that made him realize that was when Kim Soleum became closer with another guy.
He would always feel nauseous when he saw the two together, his mood would always sour whenever Kim Soleum mentioned that guy and he would make fun of him by telling him to stop pouting.
He was never pouting!
“And you actually listened to them?” Kim Soleum questioned him with a raised eyebrow. He was basically asking why he would stay here when he could’ve gone to the bar instead.
Baek Saheon scoffed, “I can’t be bothered to talk to more people than necessary.”
Kim Soleum face palmed.
“This is why you’re a loner.”
Baek Saheon’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Don’t pout.”
Baek Saheon clicked his tongue indignantly, “I’m not pouting!”
Kim Soleum just smiled at him, and it only managed to make Saheon even more irritated.
He looked up and noticed that one of Soleum’s bunny ears was down, adding more to his allure and overall cuteness.
Speaking of which…
“Why are you even wearing that?”
He took great satisfaction in watching Kim Soleum’s cheeks turn a pretty shade of pink.
Kim Soleum turned his head away and grumpily said, “I lost a bet.”
Just then, a booming voice rang out from across campus, and Kim Soleum had half the mind to pretend he didn’t know that person. He yelled out Kim Soleum’s name and was making his way towards them now.
It was Soleum’s sunbae, who Baek Saheon had never actually learned what his name was, only hearing people refer to him as “Choi”.
Come to think of it, Soleum has never called that guy by his name either, has he…?
The guy proceeded to intrude into Kim Soleum’s personal space and slinked a hand around his shoulder.
“Why is my precious hoobae pretending not to know me~? It hurts my heart, you know.” He dramatically clutched his heart while pretending to be sad. Kim Soleum still hasn’t shoved him off, so he could get away with doing this.
Baek Saheon saw the blush deepen on Kim Soleum’s face and frowned.
Ah, there it was again. That sick feeling he gets in his stomach whenever those two are together.
“Ugh, are you happy now…?” Kim Soleum asked while trying to push the guy off of him, irritation written all over his face.
Choi looked at Kim Soleum with a mischievous smile. “It was totally worth it. You’re so cute, Soleum-ah.” He kissed Kim Soleum’s cheek as he said this, sucking on the soft flesh.
“Ack! What the hell are you doing!” Kim Soleum had enough and finally shoved the alpha off of him.
Thud.
The duo looked at the person whose mood had plummeted to the ground, almost forgetting he was even there in the first place.
Baek Saheon placed down the Dakgangjeong rather forcefully.
“You should leave if you’re done here,” He said as he gave them a tight lipped smile. “You’re holding up the line, you see.”
Turning around, Kim Soleum saw that a long line of people had formed behind them, crowding the booth.
Choi slid his hand down from Kim Soleum’s shoulder to his waist.
Baek Saheon’s eyebrow twitched.
“I’m sure you also know the reason why this much of a crowd is even here,” He proceeded to add, as if Saheon wasn’t two seconds away from spilling the hot Dakgangjeong on his face.
“Saheon-ah.”
Kim Soleum leaned forward and placed two fingers between his brows, smoothing out his frown. He was close enough that Baek Saheon could count every single eyelash. His eyes subconsciously slid down to Kim Soleum’s pink lips, biting the inside of his mouth to suppress the urge to smash their lips together.
Kim Soleum slid his hand down his forearm, taking his hand in his.
“Let’s go together to the club nearby. You deserve a break too.”
By this point, Baek Saheon had forgotten what he was even upset about and was willing to go wherever Kim Soleum wanted.
Kim Soleum’s eyes flitted to the side, eyeing the two other guys up and down.
Giving them the sweetest smile, he asked gently. “I’m sure you guys can cover up for our Saheon-ie here, can’t you?”
“Y-yes, sure.” One of them responded, cheeks flushed, his eyes darting around nervously.
Kim Soleum dragged Baek Saheon out of the booth, still holding hands.
Baek Saheon had the misfortune of noticing the little fluffy tail right above Kim Soleum’s ass. Of course, this absolutely did not affect his already slipping away sanity.
‘Cute…’
“I’m pretty sure if our Saheon-ie here had a tail, he’d be wagging it like crazy~.” Choi found it necessary to add, grinning widely.
Baek Saheon snapped out of his thoughts and glared at his senior, and just as he was about to defend himself—
“Shut up.”
Baek Saheon snapped his head so fast that he wouldn’t be surprised if he accidentally broke it. He was surprised and shocked to hear that coming out of Kim Soleum’s mouth.
The guy who always found one way or another to bully and tease the hell out of him defending him!? The sun might as well rise to the west.
He stared at their linked hands and subtly scooted closer to Kim Soleum, walking side by side. Kim Soleum’s hands were slightly smaller than his.
Kim Soleum’s sunbae had suddenly gone quiet, and two minutes passed with them walking in silence towards the club before Choi decided to break it.
“Alright then~ I’ll text our friends to let them know a third person’s coming.” His voice was cheerful once again, as if nothing happened.
That got Baek Saheon’s attention again.
“How many people are gonna be there?”
“Don’t worry, they don’t bite.” Kim Soleum replied.
“Tsk.”
Baek Saheon had found it appropriate to sit next to Kim Soleum, his best friend, rather than next to a stranger.
Kim Soleum apparently thought otherwise.
“Why are you sitting next to me?”
“I don’t know anybody else here.”
“Exactly, so you should sit next to someone else and socialize.”
“Don’t wanna.”
The club’s lights made it harder to see clearly, but Baek Saheon has seen Kim Soleum’s face countless times to know his every expression, and this one conveyed annoyance and exasperation, for sure.
…Hmph.
Baek Saheon turned his head and sat with his arms crossed, frowning.
Did Kim Soleum just not wanna sit next to him? Why? He knows he’s a bit stupid, but Soleum likes to have him around, right..?
“It’s nothing to pout about.”
Holding back a groan, Baek Saheon downed his first drink of the night, and didn’t notice the fond smile slowly creeping into Kim Soleum’s features.
Someone clapped, and Baek Saheon turned his gaze across the table, towards a girl with a small build with kind of blue-ish, green-ish colored hair.
“Should we play a game to break the ice then?” The girl smiled, holding up a bottle of soju.
“We shall play truth or drink, then.” A girl with short blue hair declared, a mischievous smirk on her face.
Who are these people…
Baek Saheon regretted every moment in his life that had led him to coming here.
“That’s Eun Haje,” Baek Saheon heard a whisper to his right and flinched when he saw how close Kim Soleum’s face was. “Be careful, she might bite.”
This bastard always found one or another reason to mess with him…!
The girl with the small build spun the bottle and, of course, obviously, it just had to land toward him. Luck was never on his side.
Curious eyes landed on him, finally noticing the third party Choi probably mentioned in their group chat. It wasn’t like he didn’t know anyone, he just didn’t bother keeping them as friends. Seeing their faces everyday was already such a bother. Why would he want to hang out with them outside of school too?
For one, he knew Go Yeongeun, who liked to pick fights with him for no reason. And together with Kim Soleum, they just teamed up to bully him for no reason at all.
He also knows that other dude sitting next to Kim Soleum’s sunbae, who occasionally comes to hang out with Kim Soleum and Choi.
The only reason he knew that guy was, well, because, ahem, he had been obsessively following Kim Soleum wherever he went, not leaving a chance for him to be alone with any of those other guys.
Because he is Kim Soleum’s best friend, right? He was just looking out for him. Who knows what those filthy alphas would do if they had the chance to be alone with an omega like Soleum.
From across the table, he saw Kim Soleum’s sunbae smirk, and he felt a sinking feeling on his stomach.
“I’ll be the one to ask the question.”
After saying this, Choi’s smile vanished from his face and started looking him straight in the eye.
…What’s up with this bastard?
Sweat started to gather on his brows. Has this guy noticed Baek Saheon’s crush on Kim Soleum? No way. He wasn’t going to ask an extremely uncomfortable question, right?
Well, he can always dodge the question and drink.
Finally, after a prolonged and totally unnecessary silence, Choi opened his mouth.
“Who in this room would you kiss?”
“Choi went for the killer.”
“Already with the spicy questions?”
The table instantly got loud and all the attention was on him, and Baek Saheon didn’t think twice before gulping down a shot.
A couple of cheers and boo’s were heard, and Baek Saheon really wished he hadn’t come here.
The couple of next questions landed on other people, but most of them were towards Soleum, and the guy stubbornly refused to answer any question, downing shot after shot, already looking drunk.
“Are you just planning on getting drunk?” Baek Saheon couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes.”
…huhh??
“Has the stress of finals finally gotten to you?”
“Yes. I just wanna relax tonight.”
Baek Saheon turned to look at him, and Kim Soleum indeed had a serene expression on.
Baek Saheon remembered the nights where his best friend would often not answer his messages and came to school looking exhausted for an entire week straight.
….
A deep flush dusted Kim Soleum's cheeks, rapidly spreading down to the base of his neck and chest area. Baek Saheon gulped at the sight.
He could only hope this night would go smoothly.
Kim Soleum parted his lips, a soft moan escaping due to the ecstatic feeling. He grounded his hips to create more friction, and relished at the groan the other party let out.
Baek Saheon’s hands roamed over his whole body, leaving a trail of kisses on his pale neck. He nibbled and sucked on his shoulder blades, one of his hands going up to fondle with Kim Soleum’s chest, growing frustrated at the piece of clothing separating them.
Kim Soleum tugged at his hair and pulled him into a deep kiss, their tongues dominating over each other, both sighing at the immense pleasure they felt. Kim Soleum squeezed his eyes shut, the warm heat building in his stomach as he arched his back.
He broke the kiss with a gasp when he felt he couldn’t breathe anymore and started sucking on Baek Saheon’s ear, smiling when he felt the guy shiver under his touch.
Baek Saheon pulled their bodies flush with each other. He groaned when he moved to grip Kim Soleum’s ass, pressing it against his hard-on and grinding them together. Kim Soleum whined against the onslaught of pleasure, his vision going hazy.
Baek Saheon’s heart was beating so fast and he wouldn’t be surprised if he died right then and there. No, he’d be more than happy if he died right here. In Kim Soleum’s arms, while making out. In fact, this could unarguably be the best way to go out.
Baek Saheon did not stop grinding their hips together, and Kim Soleum tried to keep up but he couldn’t think. He whined between the fabric, feeling overstimulated with the waves of pleasure.
“Saheon-ah,” A breathy moan escaped Soleum’s lips.
Fuck, fuck, fuck!!
Saheon was so fucking close to cumming. But he couldn’t do that here. Did he even have any spare pants?
He felt Kim Soleum pull away from him and he tightened his grip around him almost immediately. A groan inevitably escaped him when Soleum palmed his clothed cock.
“Doesn’t this need to be taken care of?”
Kim Soleum looked like an angel.
The flush sitting high on his cheeks, the honeyed words slipping from his lips, luring him in. He was so, so beautiful.
Coming here was the best idea he’s ever had. He had been a fool to think otherwise an hour ago.
Kim Soleum stared at Baek Saheon’s face, his gaze dark, clouded in desire. Baek Saheon’s breaths had gotten rougher, breathing harder as his grip on him tightened. His fingers splayed over his stomach, feeling the lean muscles on his palm.
“I’m the one who got you in this state, so let me take responsibility.” Kim Soleum said, smiling sweetly at him.
Baek Saheon could only nod, dazed.
It felt like the alcohol had made Kim Soleum way bolder.
But who was Baek Saheon to complain?
He sure did miss the warmth when Kim Soleum got off of him though. He had a clear idea where Soleum wanted to continue this in, and this time, he was the one who took a hold of Kim Soleum’s hand and led them to the bathroom.
Kim Soleum roughly pushed him onto the bathroom stall and forced him to sit on the toilet seat.
Baek Saheon was going to sit anyway.
He can’t believe he walked around the club with a very apparent boner on his pants, but he couldn’t think too much about that right now.
Kim Soleum bent down, sitting on his knees. He started to caress his thighs and looked up when he heard Baek Saheon suck in a harsh breath.
He gave him a little smile and Baek Saheon cursed under his breath.
Come to think of it…what does this make them? He was certain friends don’t do what they just did, and as intoxicated Kim Soleum was, he had to have some sort of attraction towards him enough to the point to want to suck him off.
“I can hear your brain thinking all the way here,” Kim Soleum then proceeded to pull his zipper down with his teeth, maintaining eye contact all the while.
This damn slut…
Kim Soleum lowered his boxers, and his cock sprang out, almost slapping him on the face.
The head was an angry red, begging to be touched.
That looks painful, Kim Soleum thought dazedly. The alpha’s scent was so much stronger here, making his mind feel all fuzzy and weird. His omega instincts were screaming at him to hurry up and please the alpha in front of him already.
He blew onto the moistened member, kissing and suckling on the head. He grinned when Baek Saheon let out a strangled moan. Without much of a warning, he bent his head and swallowed Saheon’s entire cock. He flattened his tongue against it, running it along the underside of his shaft.
He continued moving his head in shallow thrusts, and looked up when he felt a hand on the back of his head. He wasn’t given much of a warning, his eyes widening when he felt Baek Saheon shove his head down more forcefully, his thrusts growing fast and desperate as he chased his own high.
“Ngh..!”
Baek Saheon made sure to thrust his entire length in, not letting him breathe. Kim Soleum’s vision was growing hazy and he felt faint, but he couldn’t help how wet he’s getting at the rough treatment. Salty precum smeared the back of his throat and he greedily swallowed it down.
Kim Soleum moaned, the vibrations sending Saheon over the edge. His stomach clenched, and he felt the telltale sign of his orgasm approaching. His thrusts slowed down before he finally stilled, coming down Kim Soleum’s throat with a gasp and made sure Kim Soleum swallowed it all before finally letting go of his head.
Kim Soleum pulled off his cock with a lewd expression, looking like he got his brains fucked out.
He felt his cock grow hard at the sight once again, but he wasn’t that much of an animal to demand another blow job.
They waited a few seconds till they calmed down and their breathing evened out.
They really…should go home now.
Thank god it was a saturday tomorrow.
“Soleum-ah,” Baek Saheon called out, but Kim Soleum nuzzled further onto his thighs, resting his head and closing his eyes.
That’s really not a good sleeping place.
Baek Saheon pulled his boxers and zipped his pants up, nudging Kim Soleum in an attempt to wake him up again.
“Get up, we’re going home.”
He bent down to eye level with Kim Soleum and picked him up, and just as he was about to carry him on his back, Kim Soleum started gaining consciousness.
His words were slurred, but Baek Saheon could hear him just alright.
“hhhmwhere…”
“Home,” Baek Saheon cursed under his breath. It wasn’t like Kim Soleum was heavy or anything, but the alcohol was making their movements way more sluggish.
He wrapped a hand under Kim Soleum’s waist and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Can you walk?”
Kim Soleum rubbed his eyes and muttered a string of curses, telling him it’s okay, and that yes he could walk.
Baek Saheon didn’t know how they even got home safely, and didn't remember much after what happened in the bathroom stall.
What he knew and could feel was that Kim Soleum was cuddling up to him in bed, sleeping.
Is this a dream? Why am I not waking up yet?
Baek Saheon would believe all of what had happened yesterday was a dream if not for the man currently laying next to him.
Kim Soleum looked really pretty asleep.
He wanted to appreciate the view more, but the sharp throbbing in his skull told him otherwise.
He rose up from the bed carefully, mindful not to wake Kim Soleum up.
He stayed in bed, just sitting there, staring blankly into space for a few moments.
He belatedly noticed that Kim Soleum was in comfortable clothes, no longer wearing those tight-fitting clothes.
He was amazed how the guy had managed to change out of his clothes even in that state.
But then he noticed that the clothes looked awfully familiar.
….!!!
Kim Soleum was wearing his clothes!
Wait, did that mean…he was the one who changed Kim Soleum?
But he didn’t remember shit!!
Aghh!! This world is so unfair!!
As he was busy clutching his head and wallowing in despair, Kim Soleum had already opened his eyes.
“Is the headache that strong?”
Baek Saheon flinched, and turned his head to see Kim Soleum laying on his back and staring at him with the same, old, bored expression he always had.
…He looked better asleep.
“Yes, I’m gonna go make some hangover soup.”
As he got up from the bed and made his way over to the kitchen, he started thinking about what happened last night and what the hell he should do when he interacts with Kim Soleum from now on.
Did Kim Soleum even remember anything? He couldn’t be sure.
Were they gonna address what happened last night?
He was dying to say something about it, but at the same time, scared of Kim Soleum’s reaction. What if the guy decides to never speak to him again?
...He can’t have that happen.
He’ll just have to wait till Kim Soleum decides to speak up about it, and if he never addresses it, then it’s fine too.
.…Even if Baek Saheon himself doesn’t like it.
What matters is that Kim Soleum doesn’t start avoiding him.
Come Monday, Baek Saheon didn’t hear a peep about what happened that night from Kim Soleum.
He didn’t expect it to affect his mood so much, but he had been so grumpy about it that he didn't even want to open Kim Soleum’s messages.
Not like that guy texted him much, anyway.
He was the one afraid of Kim Soleum avoiding him, but he’s the one who’s avoiding the guy now, how ironic.
He didn’t even know what he had been expecting. This guy was as cold as ice when he was with him, but normal towards others, dare he say, affectionate even.
His mood was gloomy enough for others to notice and they took it as a hint to fuck off and not piss him off further.
Good.
He had been lost in thought and didn’t notice the shadow looming over him, looking at the scribbles he had made.
“Is that me from that night?”
Baek Saheon almost jumped out of his seat, and turned his head to see Kim Soleum smiling down at what he had drawn.
Only then did he notice he had drawn, more like scribbled, a face, Kim Soleum’s face, with the bunny ears on his head.
Baek Saheon surprisingly didn’t get flustered like he always did, and grumpily scrunched up the piece of paper before begrudgingly replying.
“…What does it matter to you.”
It had been a statement more than a question.
Kim Soleum expertly dodged the question and asked him one of his own. Smiling, he leaned closer to his face. Baek Saheon couldn’t help but blush when he saw that face so close once again, memories of that night coming to him in a flash.
“Do you wanna go to the movies tonight? You can choose which one to watch.”
Baek Saheon stared at him blankly for a few seconds, proceeding the question.
“….As in, just the two of us?”
“Yes. You’d have known about this if you’d seen my messages.”
Kim Soleum dangled his phone in front of his face as he said this. “Why haven’t you been replying anyway? I don’t think you did anything of value during the weekend.”
Baek Saheon clicked his tongue. “Well, it’s your damn fault anyway! for being so…!”
…cold.
Baek Saheon didn’t finish that sentence and clenched his jaw. He saw Kim Soleum raise one eyebrow, silently looking at him.
He turned around and pretended to be busy looking through his phone.
If they were gonna watch a movie, let it be a horror one. He’s pretty sure this guy would love horror movies, his name is quite literally the sfx for goosebumps.
…Or so he thought.
When Baek Saheon showed the guy the movie he picked, he hadn’t failed to catch how Kim Soleum’s face had gone pale in an instant.
…No way, was Kim Soleum scared of horror movies?
Just as he was about to open his mouth and smile at finally having found something to tease Kim Soleum about, the guy immediately schooled his expression and told him in a steady voice the time they should start getting ready.
While Baek Saheon was waiting for Kim Soleum to arrive, he started thinking if that guy will show up in a crazy outfit again or something.
…Nah, the outfit had been a dare. He didn’t think Kim Soleum was crazy enough to wear anything racy to a cinema anyway.
As he was contemplating texting Kim Soleum where he is, he saw the guy waving at him from a distance.
And yeah, his outfit is pretty normal now.
…Actually, he looked pretty cute in it.
Kim Soleum was wearing a blue jacket and a white dress shirt, paired with black slacks. His hair was down, the middle part gone.
This guy always looks so sexy and hot, but what he was wearing now made him look pretty and cute.
…
…Wait, now that he thinks about it, isn’t this, like, a date!?
A deep flush spread to his cheeks at the thought, but he was quickly brought out of it when he felt a hand on his arm.
“Let’s go inside,” Kim Soleum said while smiling up at him, and Baek Saheon felt his heart skip a beat as he nodded quickly, following Kim Soleum in.
It hadn’t even been 20 minutes into the movie before he heard a shrill scream next to his ear.
For a moment, he just thought some girl had gotten too scared and screamed her lungs out, but he couldn’t have possibly misunderstood where the sound came from when it was so close to his ear.
He turned his head toward Kim Soleum and stared blankly at the guy, who had shrunk in his seat and was covering his mouth with his hand, his face a deep shade of pink from the embarrassment.
And yeah, he’d be pretty embarrassed too, if he had screamed like a girl in a cinema full of people.
Baek Saheon wanted to pretend he didn’t hear that just for the omega’s sake, but he couldn’t hold in his laughter, his shoulders shaking slightly with the effort to hold it in.
Kim Soleum didn’t miss this and hit him straight on the balls.
Fuck!
Baek Saheon doubled over in pain, glaring at Kim Soleum.
The guy wasn’t even looking at the movie anymore, pretending to be busy while looking at his phone.
…Whatever, at least I have material to make fun of him now.
“Did you enjoy the movie?” Baek Saheon asked innocently.
“Fuck off.”
“Hey, I’m just asking, not even answering me anymore?”
“…”
“I didn’t think the great almighty top student mister ice Kim Soleum would be scared of horror movies,” Baek Saheon grinned while trying to take a look at Kim Soleum’s expression, but all he could see were the red ears since the guy refused to look at him.
That’s all good, it means the teasing is working.
He can finally have his get back!
Kim Soleum had his head lowered and was walking slightly faster, as though to get away from him. Baek Saheon matched his pace.
“You could’ve just told me so I’d have picked another movie. Seriously, dude, it’s okay to have emotions.”
“I’ll fucking punch your guts out, so shut the fuck up.”
….That got Baek Saheon to finally be silent.
After some time, Kim Soleum actually started talking about the movie, and Baek Saheon was surprised he actually knew what the plot was about since the guy had been mostly looking at his phone for the rest of the movie.
Baek Saheon hadn’t realized how late it had gotten. The sun had already vanished behind the Seoul skyline, leaving place for the moon. Not a single cloud could be seen, and the stars were twinkling quite beautifully tonight.
He actually wanted this night to end up good. He wanted Kim Soleum to have a good memory of today.
He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the time.
9:07PM.
They still had some time to wander around the streets of Seoul. He didn’t want this to end yet. He skillfully ignored his quick heartbeat and took a hold of Kim Soleum’s hand.
“Wanna go near the sea,” Baek Saheon gulped nervously, slightly intimidated by Kim Soleum’s curious gaze. “….and take photos of the moon?” He finished lamely.
“…Sure.”
Yes! Great save! I’m so smart.
Baek Saheon cheered and did a happy little dance in his head.
They walked along the pavement until they stopped to sit down on a bench with a clear view of the sea and the moon.
Baek Saheon had only said that as an excuse to finally address what had happened that night, but now he was getting cold feet.
He heard a click to his right and saw Kim Soleum taking photos of the moon.
“Aren’t you gonna take a photo?”
“I-I will.” Baek Saheon stammered, cursing himself out internally.
He took out his phone and took a picture of the moon. It was quite beautiful. The photos couldn’t properly capture its true beauty.
“Let me see,” Kim Soleum leaned in to look at the photo, and Baek Saheon tried not to show how much he was trembling from how nervous he was. “You took a prettier photo than mine.”
Kim Soleum had a smile on his face as he said this, and Baek Saheon’s eyes widened as he saw the guy leaning closer—
He felt soft lips on him once again, reminding him of that night once again.
He caught Kim Soleum’s shoulders and abruptly pushed him away, and his heart clenched when he saw the hurt flash across Kim Soleum’s face.
No. He needed to make this clear. His head was a jumbled mess and he just said whatever came to his mind in that moment—-
“What are we!?”
Silence.
Baek Saheon suddenly wished he wasn’t born.
“…What do you think we are?”
“I don’t know! You just keep coming onto me like that without even saying anything…! And I just can’t take the silence anymore…!”
“What do you want us to be?”
….
“….I want to be with you.”
Kim Soleum smiled.
“I want to stay by your side too, Saheon-ah.”
