Chapter Text
Since it was just Wednesday, their week continues like normal. After that night, Wooseok was up early preparing breakfast when Seungyoun woke up and before he could even open the topic, Wooseok was already rushing to his first class.
They both got buried in endless readings, deadlines and exhaustion that the next thing they know, it's Friday night and they're cuddling in their bed, Seungyoun's phone playing music softly in the background.
"Babe." Wooseok calls. His head on Seungyoun's chest so feels it vibrate when he hums in reply. "Gyul wanted us to join them at the bar tonight. We have to get ready."
"But baby, I just want to have you for myself tonight. No sharing to Hangyul or Yohan or even the kids." he whines, playfully.
Wooseok slaps his chest, "You talk as if we don't spend every day together."
"You say that but I don't see you getting up and getting ready too." Seungyoun teases him. "We've been so busy lately. Let's just stay in and watch sappy movies, whatever you like." he continues.
"Even the shitty rom coms that you end up shitting on the whole time?" he asks
"Even the shitty rom coms that I end up shitting on the whole time." Seungyoun replies.
Seungyoun goes to the kitchen while Wooseok chooses the movie at the living room, and comes back with vodka, juice and some chips.
"What is that?" Wooseok asks with an amused smile.
"Well I said I wan't you for myself tonight, I didn't say I didn't want to get drunk."
Wooseok laughs at that, "Oh thank God. It's been a rough week, I really wanted to let loose tonight, to be honest."
Seungyoun gives him a peck on the lips when he sits at the couch. "Well, you can get drunk and have fun all you want tonight, baby. I'll take care of you."
"As you should with all the times I have to half carry you home." Wooseok says with an eyeroll. "You know what, give me a drink before we start this movie."
Wooseok gulps down the vodka Seungyoun hands him and Seungyoun knows it's going to be a long night for the both of them.
They both decided to drink every time the female lead cries however, 30 minutes in and they realize it was a bad idea as they were already on their sixth drink.
"This girl just keeps on crying." Seungyoun complains.
Wooseok has always been more affectionate when they're alone and nobody's watching. It gets worse when they're drunk. Right now, both his legs are on Seungyoun's lap while he rests his head on his chest, Seungyoun's arm by his waist.
"Baby, let me get our drinks." Seungyoun says, trying to get up.
"Nooo." Wooseok whines. "Let them both cry and be miserable." Seungyoun just chuckles and kisses the top of his head.
They're quiet for a while until Wooseok speaks, "You wouldn't do that, right?"
"What?" Seungyoun asks, confused.
Wooseok tips his head towards the screen. "That."
"What? Go back to my hell of an ex? No way. Baby, stop speaking nonsense." Seungyoun says.
"But-" Wooseok sits up before talking again, "but.. look at you! Why are you still affected?"
Seungyoun looks so lost. "Baby, you must be drunk. What are you saying? Where is this coming from?"
"Well, you keep talking about them..." Wooseok explains.
"When have I ever mentioned my ex to you? I haven't even thought of Yibo in so long." Seungyoun runs his hand in his hair, unsure why they're even having this conversation.
"You're lying." Wooseok says and his eyes are watery and Seungyoun feels so lost.
Seungyoun takes a deep breath when he starts to feel a bit annoyed. He knows raising his voice will just make Wooseok more upset. He takes his hand and responds, "I'm not. Why will I do that? Baby, talk to me."
"You-you.. keep on bringing it... up. To our friends.. Sungjoo, Junho... and even in your show." he says. "I even listened to that song you played the other day. You said that it's been your favorite these days and I wonder if you ever just... stay up at night and just wish you can call your ex." Wooseok couldn't hold back the tears anymore and he breaks down.
Seungyoun has been awfully silent. He just pulls Wooseok in a hug and runs his hand in his hair. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you really..." Wooseok says.
"Wooseok, I love you." he says, as he still hugs him.
"No, no, no. Don't say that." Wooseok says, sounding a bit childish and Seungyoun puts a mental note to wake up a little earlier to make him soup in the morning.
"Why? You don't love me anymore?" he asks Wooseok.
"Of course not--" he says but Seungyoun cuts him off.
"Then let me say it." Seungyoun cups his face and continues. "I love you. Even if you drive yourself crazy overthinking, even if you still don't know that I would quite literally take a bullet for you, even if you still don't accept that this is it for me and that you're it for me."
Wooseok tears up again but now for a different reason. Seungyoun wipes the tears away. "I didn't think you would be bothered by it so, that's my fault and I'm sorry. I'm gonna get sappy here so, I hope you're prepared."
Wooseok couldn't help but smile at that. Seungyoun continues, "I do not mean anything by it except my exes are just my exes and I'm glad they left and things happened because they led me to you. All the pain, tears and lonely nights when they left was worth it because I got to meet you. I keep telling people to never go back to their exes because they might get as lucky as me and find the best the person they'll ever love if they move forward. I love you."
Wooseok buries his face back to Seungyoun chest. Seungyoun pulls him so now, he's sitting on his lap. "I feel stupid now." Wooseok whispers to him.
Seungyoun laughs and gets a slap on the chest again. "My baby is so cute being jealous over nothing."
"Stop it." Wooseok whines. "You're so annoying but I love you. Since, we're doing sappy messages tonight let me just say I can't wait til we grow old together and have children walking in on us like this yelling how disgustingly in love their parents are." he says.
"Can't wait for that either." Seungyoun says. He pulls away to kiss Wooseok again. Just soft, lips pressing, assuring each other that they're there.
"For now, would you like to practice making those babies for the future?" he says with a smirk on the face. Wooseok slaps him on the chest again. Let's just say they didn't sleep a wink that night.
