Hyungwon loves to look at Minhyuk do his art every afternoon Thursday, underneath the old gigantic tree in the middle of the small garden with benches to seat on and some kiosk where students kill their time or do their assignments. The dusk is approaching by the time Minhyuk finishes his art, the wind passes not too strong— leaves are dancing in the midair before falling into the green grass ground. Hyungwon watches the scenery— the orange, red and pink hues collided beautifully at the wide sky as the sun is setting down and dark would say hello in any minute. The first star is already visible, Hyungwon smiles at the perfect atmosphere he witnessed with Minhyuk.
"Pretty isn't it?" Minhyuk said. He also looks at the beautiful scenery, they witness the sun setting down every Thursday however this day is different— there is something special that he can't explain. He feels happy and contented beside the man who is his so-called childhood-best-friend.
"It's magnificent, indescribable pretty" the latter said and avert his gaze to the older; eyes still stuck at the wide sky. Hyungwon's eyes are unexplainable, shining just by looking at his best friend— a small smile is painted on his beautiful face, a soft gaze. If ever someone passes by them and sees Hyungwon probably they would conclude that he is in love.
"Hyungwon-ah," Minhyuk eyes left the wide sky and looked at Hyungwon straight in the eyes— the younger was pulled by the gaze of the older, it seems like there is a force pulling him into the deep brown eyes of the man.
"If we are not best friends, would you date me?" The younger knitted his brows, clenched his teeth, still processing on what the older had just asked— after perhaps 60 seconds or somewhere in between his gaze soften and let out a breathy chuckle and smiled at the older.
"Min, if I ask you now to date me even though we are best friends, would you risk it?"
Minhyuk shrugged "If it's worth the risk, why not" he then broke the gaze and started looking at his sketch book "I am afraid to lose you," he added.
"You are thinking ahead of time, why not enjoy the present and worry about the future after? I am not going to promise 'cause it's going to be cliché and maybe you are going to use it in any future arguments, knowing you I know you are going to do that" Hyungwon closed the gap between them and held Minhyuk's free hand squeezing it like he always does when the older is doubting something.
"I am still thinking, but are we on the same boat? perhaps you are just pitying me" You can't blame Minhyuk this is the first time they talked about this. He has had romantic feelings towards Hyungwon for so long, perhaps it started when they were in their senior year in high school. The younger is smiling widely while looking at the fallen flowers of the cherry blossoms 'cause by the wind just like now— it is so hard to pretend that every time Hyungwon goes on blind dates which their friend Jooheon set up for the latter— kills him with jealousy, he really wants to punch Jooheon for doing that.
"We are on the same boat Min, I always adore that smile you give me, the warmth feeling that I always feel when you're by my side, the pretty face of yours that shines under the light of the sun— sometimes I feel envious of the people who you planted kisses on their cheeks. I wish you do does that to me though"
"Hey! I also kissed you on the cheeks!"
"Duh, it was seven years ago" Hyungwon rolled his eyes.
"Look at those eyes, you sassy prince"
"So, what do you say?"
"Say what?"
"Oh Min! Stop playing, you are the one who asked me. Never mind tss" Minhyuk moved closer to the younger leaning a little to brush his lips on Hyungwon. It was just a feather kiss, soft and pure— no tongue or messy kisses it was perfect.
"So Hyungwon, would you like to be my canvas? I would love to use my lips as a brush and paint every inch of you"
"That was...cheesy" Hyungwon laughed at the latter but tainted red cheeks are visible on his face "but I would love to be your canvas"
Once again lips are crash, just as Minhyuk promised he would paint Hyungwon using his lips.
