Chapter Text
"Woojae, love?" Doyoung called for Jaehyun. They were now chilling on the sofa in Jaehyun's house. Jaehyun was reading a motivational book that was gifted by Doyoung's friend to Doyoung but he was too lazy to read the book. Jaehyun, who had found the book lying cold on Doyoung's childhood study desk, took interest in it.
"Hmm?" Jaehyun hummed, eyes still fixated on the book.
"Can I ask you something?" Doyoung asked hesitantly. Jaehyun, who noticed it, closed the book before staring straight in Doyoung's eyes, giving him his full attention. He then brushed Doyoung's hair that was on his lap since Doyoung was resting his head on him.
"Yes, Doie?" Jaehyun said warmly, encouraging Doyoung, who was fiddling his fingers nervously to continue.
"Why did you only approach me now? Why not sooner? I mean, since you're still keeping the promise…" Doyoung trailed off. He did not know how to put his concern in words properly. But it seems like Jaehyun understood him as he hummed in acknowledgement.
"I thought you had lost your interest in me since you were avoiding me and giving me a cold shoulder." Jaehyun said. Doyoung winced. He admitted that was not the smartest thing to do and he was not proud of it. "I'm sorry. I was an idiot." Doyoung admitted weakly.
"It's okay Doie. I forgave you already." Jaehyun said and bent down to kiss Doyoung. "Besides it was already in the past. We are together now right?" Jaehyun explained further. Doyoung nodded while pouting.
"And then, you were like ten when we made that promise. How would I know that you were so serious at that time. You were so young and innocent. And I was heartbroken, I could think that was your unique way to console me." Jaehyun said while Doyoung kept on staring at his boyfriend, listening to him earnestly.
"I don't remember how it started but as times goes by the feeling I have for you keeps on growing and getting stronger. I guess it was already there since the beginning but I thought that was a love of a big brother to his lil brother. I mean how would I know? I don't have any other siblings to begin with. So how can I compare?" Jaehyun laughed, making Doyoung laugh too.
"With under impression that you no longer liked me, I resorted to only liking you from afar. That was until Gongmyung knew about my little crushing on you. I don't know how he knew, he didn't want to tell me until now and I said to him suit yourself. But anyway, the night before Christmas Eve, Gongmyung met me and urged me to confess to you. After being brainwashed by him, I have decided to confess to you. And it seems like luck was on my side, we met at the supermarket. That was why I asked you about the chocolate and the flowers." Jaehyun paused as if thinking before he continued again. "I think if it was not for Myung's encouragement, I wouldn't have you in my arms right now." Jaehyun ended his narration with a smile decorating his face, full dimples and whiskers and his ears were deep red.
Doyoung kept on silence, he was in the middle of processing all new infos that Jaehyun had told him. No wonder that night Gongmyung said he will never regret it if he confesses to Jaehyun. Woah, he really regretted the time he had wasted on avoiding Jaehyun. Should have listened to the elders advice huh. Ish ish.
"I'm glad that my brother helped us." Doyoung said gratefully. "Me too." said Jaehyun in agreement. They stayed like that for a while appreciating each other's presence before Doyoung's stomach growled loudly. Doyoung was stunned.
"Is my baby hungry?" Jaehyun cooed. Doyoung then whined in embarrassment. Way to ruin this romantic moment.
"Let's get ready. I'm feeling like eating pizza." Jaehyun suggested.
Doyoung's ears perked at the word pizza. "Let's go, love!" Doyoung jumped out from the sofa before reaching for his beanie and jacket. Jaehyun just shook his head lightly. He hoped he could make Doyoung happy like this forever. Jaehyun stopped for a while after realising about his thoughts. Forever with Doyoung did not sound that bad. In fact he wanted it.
Forever with his love.
