Yangyang is sitting quietly beside his bestfriend while watching his other friends go wild as alcohol sinked into their system. He felt his bestfriend's head resting on his shoulders, probably too drunk to be conscious of anything. Again, he felt the familiar beating of his heart that only his bestfriend can make him feel that way. Little did he know that there were eyes prying on them.
Jaemin across the room got everyone's attention to invite them to play a game. Everyone is attentive to what Jaemin is saying, feeling excited with what they will do, except Yangyang who couldn't focus because he was busy calming his heart. Jaemin together with Hendery walked around the room to hand over the bowl from which they will draw a paper. When they were close to the two bestfriends that have their own world, they executed their plan.
Yangyang was the first to draw a paper and because Jeno was still too drunk, he also drew for him. When he opened the paper, he saw that they both have the same number. 10. Just like his birthday, October 10.
Since he didn't get the instructions earlier, he got shocked when they were both dragged to a room and locked inside it. Jeno, who could barely get up before, seemed to suddenly become sober. "What's happening?" Yangyang couldn't answer because he also didn't know what was going on.
Then they heard Jaemin's voice behind the door, "as the rule said, those with the same number to be drawn will be playing 7 minutes to heaven. Since both of you have 10, you have to do it, okay?"
After hearing it, the whole room was filled with silence. Jeno opened and closed his mouth several times to speak but nothing came out. He was just staring at his bestfriend with flushed cheeks, not sure if it's because of alcohol or the situation they were in.
Yangyang thought if this was the sign he's been praying for every night. A sign if he should confess his feelings or not. Well, he did try a few times but failed. Five times to be exact .
First , when he approached him to confess but Jeno thought he was just making friends with him. He thought he lacked flirting skills that time. Now, here they are, bestfriends. He didn't get the chance to tell him that he liked him from the start. Since he saw him petting a kitten outside their school even though his nose was already red from allergies. He found it really adorable.
One minute has passed, Jaemin and Hendery were on guard from outside the door. They don't hear any noise from inside so they are more curious about what is happening. But the two people inside were determined to not be caught whatever they were doing.
Second , Yangyang tried to confess when they graduated high school. He thought that it was the right timing since he and Jeno will be entering different schools. So if he gets rejected, it will be easier for him to move on. But Jeno, smiling from ear to ear, delivered him good news. "Yangyang, my parents agreed that I enroll with the same school as yours!" With that, his plan got jeopardized.
Two minutes. Jaemin was biting his lips, a habit of his when he's nervous. He wanted his plan to be a success because he's tired of his two friends pinning each other for years. At first, he had no intention of interfering, but it had been too long and there was still no progress, so now he plotted a scheme for them.
Hendery noticed that there was a little blood on Jaemin's lips because of too much biting so he somewhat scolded him. "No biting of lips, baby, or I'll be the one who'll bite it."
Third , when Jeno got jealous because he was too close with his classmate. At that moment, he wanted to ask him why he would get jealous if they were just friends. He felt like his feelings were about to burst and he was willing to risk it all but he got reality checked by himself. He remembered that Jeno was always like that when it comes to something or someone he cares the most. He shouldn't let his extreme emotions control him. He realized that he still wasn't ready to risk their friendship. That's their only connection and he wanted to protect it even if it meant suppressing his own feelings. They are just friends, nothing more and nothing less.
Three minutes and Jaemin was anxious, walking back and forth outside the door. "What if we extend their time?" he said, facing Hendery. "They won't notice it because they don't have anything that can track their time there."
Hendery stopped him from walking and tried to calm his boyfriend by drawing small circles on his lower back, "Relax, baby. I believe this will work out. Don't stress yourself too much, okay?" Jaemin just took a deep breath and nodded to his boyfriend.
Fourth , when they took a vacation after their graduation. Yangyang thought that they would be with their circle of friends but he was shocked when he learned it was just the two of them. "I want to treat my bestfriend alone," Jeno said to him. At first he got hurt with the mention of bestfriend, but then he decided to enjoy and cherish the moment. He felt that Jeno was extra caring, clingy, and loving so he planned to confess, again. But when you are really happy, time goes faster, right? That's why Yangyang didn't realize that it was their last day and he didn't have enough time to say how he felt about him.
Four minutes. Hendery guided Jaemin to sit on a sofa and handed him a drink. He's worried about his boyfriend so he told him not to guard the two anymore and just let whatever happens happen. Jaemin listened to him because he didn't want Hendery to worry. They went to that party to enjoy so he didn't want to spoil it for him. "Sorry, baby. Let's just enjoy the party now."
Fifth. The last failed confession has only happened earlier. When Jeno leaned his head on his shoulder, he whispered to him how he liked him. He knew how drunk the older was to process what he was saying so he got courageous. So what he didn't expect was that he would be locked in a small room with him and be at war with himself.
Five minutes had passed and they were making out that long. It started first when Jeno sat beside him and the tip of their pinky fingers touched. A sudden electricity was sent through their veins and seconds after, they were lip locked, eating each other's faces. Yangyang was pulled to Jeno's lap while he was marked by the latter for the third time. One on his clavicle, one under his ear, and one just above his right nipple. A moan escaped from his lips so Jeno kissed him for the fourth time. "Shhh… don't make a noise, darling, or we'll get caught doing these." Jeno said as he smacked his ass five times in a row. Yangyang's senses were heightened as if he had a sixth sense. He can see clearly how Jeno played with his nipple. He can smell his manly scent that was enveloping him completely. He can hear the clash of their lips and their faint moans. He can taste the sweetness of him. And he can touch him anywhere he wants. Truly, this is seven minutes to heaven for Yangyang.
Sixth , despite the messy thoughts, Yangyang decided to confess, again. So he pulled out from kissing Jeno and uttered the words he's been meaning to tell him. "Jeno, I love you."
Six minutes have passed and they are now staring at each other after what Yangyang said. He thought that the older one would not answer him but suddenly he was laid on the bed they were sitting on. Now, he's pinned between it and the man he likes the most. He tried to meet his gaze but he could barely breathe the way he stared at him. His face lowered to his and he gently kissed him on the lips. It is sweet and full of love compared to earlier. Jeno is handling him with so much care like he's a porcelain that will break. They stopped kissing again and stared at each other, memorizing their features. Jeno can't help but caress his face gently. "I know, darling. Now, let me show you how much I love you too."
Seventh. That was the seventh time he came that night. Yangyang didn't expect that his bestfriend will do wonders to his body. He felt like he couldn't take it anymore but here he is, coming for the seventh time. "Jeno, stop milking me out!" Yangyang said to Jeno but it just made him smirk while wiping his lips. "Sorry, darling. Can't help it when you taste delightful." Yangyang blushed at what he heard that made Jeno laugh. It resounded to the whole room and it was the only sound Jaemin and Hendery heard from the outside.
Seven minutes and the door finally opened. The two came out as if nothing happened but Jaemin's squeal made everyone's eyes directed to them. Jaemin pointed to their clasped hands then bombarded them with questions. "So, are you two together?" The two just nodded, which made Jaemin cheer once more. "Omg! I'm so happy for you. Finally, you are together. I was so tired of you guys pinning each other and now, you're holding hands in front of me!"
Jeno smiled playfully at Yangyang because of Jaemin's remarks and mouthed him 'Let's continue it later, darling.' Yangyang just rolled his eyes to keep his composure, pretending that his smile isn't affecting him and giving him butterflies in his stomach.
If you only knew, Jaemin, that this man did more than just a holding hand to me.
