Author: popsicola
Pairing: JunSeob
Genre: Romance
Rating: PG
Summary: No one knows how it happened, it just…sort of did. Maybe someone could turn your way and tell you that everything will be okay.
~~~~~
He wishes that someone could just tell you who to fall in love with, or who will fall in love with you instead of finding out yourself. It hurts less that way and more there will be more acceptances. He wishes that there would be a restriction on how many times someone can fall in love, so that there would be less pain and rejection. But the thing he wishes most is for someone to make him stop falling in love.
~&~
Yoseob sighs and rests his back on the cold, damp wall in the school hall; emptied of frantic students. He stares out into space, thinking about the same thing for the past couple of months. He has so many wishes for himself it was literally impossible to grant any single one of them, yet he keeps wishing. The feelings he has won’t go away, they can’t walk right out of his aching heart and he hates it. He hates the fact that everything wasn’t as simple as reciting his ABC’s or counting to 10. But most of all, he hates that he cannot let go of the person that stole his heart, shattered it without knowing he did, and making him try to piece it all back together alone.
Footsteps…
Yoseob turns around and quickly puts his hands over his mouth to cover the noise of his breaths. He turns around slightly to take a peek and sees non other than the person he wants to eliminate from his sight, or just simply to have never met in the first place. The footsteps get louder and louder as the guy came closer and then suddenly disappear like how your warm breath fades away in the cold night.
Is he looking for him? Is he worried? The boy let go of his death grip on his own dry mouth and took a deep breath.
A few minutes to a few hours passed and he is still standing there, reflecting among his own thoughts and feelings, something similar to what a meditating person would do during their peaceful time. He should be gone by now, right? Is what Yoseob would be thinking about now? He wishes to return back to his room to get his stuff and stay out for the night. He smiles to himself as he thinks about getting a peaceful night to himself.
~&~
It took him a while to walk to his dorm room, but he finally arrived. He stared at the sign the hung on the top of the door.
“Yoseob’s and Junhyung’s room. Enter if you dare~ >:D”
He laughed silently to himself and thought about the good days where they were nothing more than friends and had a mutual feeling towards each other.
Yoseob slowly turned the knob and walked in. He peered around the room and saw that Junhyung wasn’t anywhere in sight. He grabbed his bag and started shoving random things in it. A picture was left on the bed, a picture of him. Of course he doesn’t remember seeing such a picture, why would he anyways? He flipped the picture around to view the back as words slowly made their way to his vision.
“Forever mine~”
He couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening at this moment. Why this picture was here, whom it had belonged to, and what it meant. He couldn’t answer any of these questions. As he looked up at the wall, he could see in the corner of his eyes, a little crack from the door where the light had made its way in the dark, lonely room. His body froze as he saw a shadow walking in. Sobbing noises were heard.
Warm arms wrapped around Yoseob as he held the picture in his hands, still in shock.
“I missed you…”
Yoseob flinched a bit.
“Junhyung…is that you?” He asked softly.
Junhyung’s grip tightened around Yoseob.
“I’m never letting you go again.” Junhyung murmured, “Never.”
Yoseob could admit that things have been hard. From the day he found out he was in love with his roommate to now. And in between there was abandonment. Where Yoseob would skip track and field practices just to avoid Junhyung and staying out at night, leaving his roommate alone in the dorm room. He wants to apologize, but words wouldn’t come out.
“I thought…you already had someone, that’s why I did what I did.” Yoseob’s eyes became watery, “I just thought I shouldn’t interfere…”
“Idiot.”
Yoseob’s eyes went wide as he heard that word.
“I thought---“
“Shut up for now.” Junhyung interrupted as he hugged Yoseob tighter from behind.
Yoseob couldn’t help but smile with tears in his eyes at Junhyung’s response.
He closed his eyes and savored the moment, taking back all his wishes one by one.
