Chapter Text
Jongho remembers that time, when Wooyoung dared him to ask Yunho out—currently the popular senior in their college and also Jongho's crush. He expected Yunho to reject him, but it turned out he accepted him without asking him any question.
The event happened very fast—really fast like he’s watching some race competition. Jongho asked him out, they talked casually, and somehow during the way back home, Yunho asked him to come to his apartment and stupidly Jongho agreed.
He didn’t remember why he ended up on Yunho’s bed and… Yunho who is right on top of him, with a few buttons of his shirt open and his eyes capturing his broad chest—he can’t look clearly because of his bad eyesight and also because Yunho took off his glasses—looks like he worked out really well… but wait.. what situation is this?
“Eh?”
Yunho was confused.
Jongho also was confused.
“You said you like me and want to date me?” Yunho asked and Jongho nodded, “So why won't you sleep with me?”
What was that? What is Jeong Yunho trying to say?
.
Jongho is an ordinary student, nothing special comes from him—but maybe except for his vocals because somehow he always ended up with his brother, San, singing along together in San’s club. Because the president said ‘Oh, your vocals harmonized so well with your brother! How about joining us?’
He didn’t want to join any club, he’s already busy with himself, but his brother—San—told him that maybe it’s a good chance for him to get some friend because San didn’t want him ended up being alone. But he was glad too that he met Daehwi and Seungmin there, they’re nice and Jongho likes them.
He also met Wooyoung, again, he’s kinda like… his brother's soulmate? They always ended up together, even though Wooyoung is dating with Hongjoong and San is dating with Mingi.
It’s not even weird for everyone who’s close to him to know that Wooyoung was also like his second brother, he always ended up teasing him more often than San and sometimes Jongho fell on his traps. Wooyoung who knew about his favourite food, Wooyoung who knows who is his crush… even his brother didn’t know about that.
That time, when he already asked Yunho out and Yunho accepted it and how he ended up on Yunho’s bed. San sending him a message, like :
San Hyung : Jongho-ya where are you? It’s already late. Yeosangie told me that you are back together with Yunho, aren’t you supposed to be at home now? Dad and Mom said you haven’t come back..
San Hyung : Wooyoung also panicked because you were supposed to go home with him…. When he came to your class, Daehwi said that you were already back. Why didn't you tell Wooyoung?? That you’re back with Yunho???
San Hyung : Wait, since when did you both know each other…? I only remember Yunho usually hanging out with Hongjoong hyung and Mingi… :((( why you didn’t tell me :(( I’m sad :((
So, it’s just Wooyoung who’s joking around again? And apparently he fell again on his mischievous?
“W-wait, I think there’s something wrong with this…” Jongho said as he pushed Yunho back, “Don’t you think it’s too fast for us..?” of course Jongho want too—that fucking Jeong Yunho? His crush? Someone who he thinks is awesome, gorgeous and…? Many more.
Yunho didn’t back off nor did he say anything, “You’re dating me.” and Jongho nodded, “Why won’t you do that?” he asked, and clearly Yunho looks confused right now.
Jongho wasn't sure what he needed to say, didn’t Yunho also think that this is too fast for people who've just started dating? Wait—a normal person will also think it obvious this is too fast. They can’t just say ‘let’s date’ and somehow in the end of the day both of them ended up fucking on the bed. Jongho is not like that, he wants to enjoy his time together with the person he loves or the person who loves him, even though their relationship is progressing slowly.
“It’s fine,” Yunho backed off and sat beside him, “I’ll do whatever you want.” he smiled.
‘Holy shit if I asked him ‘You look handsome like this, can I take some pictures?’ But I don’t want him to think I’m a freak…’ “Alright.” Jongho tried to look for his glasses, and he’s a bit startled when Yunho handed up his glasses to him “Thanks.” his ear twitched when Yunho’s hand touched it.
“Why don’t you reply to your brother's message first before we continue?” Yunho said with a smile on his face, and Jongho quickly remembered that before Yunho pushed him down, San sent him some message.
Jongho : Hyung don’t worry, I’m okay. I’ll be back later.
San Hyung : Finally!!!
San Hyung : I almost called the police because I thought you’re going missing..
San Hyung : Alright! Be careful then!
Jongho put his phone back after he read the message and now he really wants to ask Yunho why he agreed to dating him. But, somehow Jongho… kinda wants to enjoy this time. Even if it's temporary.
“Maybe you heard some rumours about me,” Yunho started the convo first. “That I slept with some people, even the professor too. I thought you'd also want that.”
“Huh? So… have you already—”
“Wanna find out about that?”
“I-if I just want to know that doesn’t mean I want to do tha—” he was surprised when Yunho cupped both of his cheeks, “h-hyung?” he blinked a few times, confused.
Yunho didn’t say anything as he played with Jongho’s chubby cheeks, “H-hyung, stop—” he grabbed Yunho’s hand, “You said we need to talk about this, why do you end up squeezing my cheeks.”
“Ah, right.” Yunho chuckled, “Well, just want to make sure, you want to be in a relationship with me?” Jongho nodded, “you want us to take this slowly? You want us to know each other first before we do that?” Jongho gasped, he didn’t believe whatever sentence that came out from Yunho’s mouth.
“Wait! Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you must have s—to do that!” Yunho giggled when Jongho chose another word instead using just ‘sex’ to address that “Don’t laugh please.. and yes I want us to know each other first. Even though we’re not doing that. I’m sorry but I’m really strict about something like this, if—”
“So, why?” Yunho asked him again, “You know about my rumours and you still want to date me?”
Jongho gulped, no—wait, think rationally, 'Use your brain, Choi Jongho!' he can’t enjoy this even if it's temporary. He’s not stupid. He’s not like that, if Yunho didn’t like him as the way he likes him, then it’s fine—he just need to move on and there’s still plenty of people who want to date him (even though he will ended up heartbroken because it’s not that fucking Jeong Yunho who’s dating him).
Jongho sighed, he took a deep breath and say “I can choose whoever I want to date with, also it’s just a rumour and if I end up regretting it then I’m the one who’s stupid to choose to date you.”
“You’re kind.”
“I’m not, I’m just using my brain to think.” Jongho bit his lower lips, he… didn’t mean to say that, he just didn’t like it to hear someone called others kind because he’s just being rational about his opinion, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that—”
“It’s fine,” as he stood up and took one of Jongho’s hand “I think I want to know more about you than your name and you’re Choi San's little brother, Choi Jongho.” he left a kiss on Jongho’s palm and maybe Yunho can see how red is his face right now because of that… “Can I drive you home? If you’re comfortable with that. Also… just think that as our first date, no? We can stop at your favourite coffe shop and buy something for your family? My treat because I have an honour to date their son.”
“Y-you don’t need to go that far!!!”
.

“Oh my—Jongho-ya!” Wooyoung hugged him real tight the next day, “Oh my, oh God I think San will kill me if you’re going missing… glad that he called me when you’re back..” Wooyoung patted his head, “So… are you really going home with Jeong Yunho?” Wooyoung asked.
Wooyoung didn’t wait for the answer, how red Jongho’s face and how his eyes avoided him and Wooyoung already knew the answer, “I’m sorry…? So… now? Both of you?”
“W-wait wait hyung—please, I’m not.. ready… to hear that from others…” Jongho tried to hide his face but Wooyoung still saw it clearly.
“Oh—okay, uhm.. first, congrats..? I guess… but why? How did you end up dating him? Like, uh, I know you have a big crush on him but to date him? It’s not on my 2024 bingo list.”
“Look, I’m also as confused as you are. I’m so fucking stupid that I don’t know you just want to mess with me even I’m not always fell for that,” Wooyoung nodded, slowly “When I confessed to him he accept me right then and there, and he asked me ‘can we walk together after this?’ and I quickly agreed because who am I? I’m just a normal human and maybe I also want to feel how to be loved by someone other than your family?”
“I kinda relate to that, and?”
“He pushed me on his bed when I tried to reply to San Hyung message,” Wooyoung gasped and before he could say anything, Jongho grabbed his shoulders “Hear me out. He’s saying something like ‘let’s do that’ and ‘I think you want to date me because you want to do that.’ we ended up talking about a lot of things and… we agreed to take things slowly.”
“Impressive,” Wooyoung clapped, “If I was you I’ll hop on his di—”
“Hush!” Jongho stepped on Wooyoung’s shoes, and Wooyoung ‘ouched’ “I… I don’t think I can face him right now. You know it’s like.. one of my dream come true and—”
“I know I know, calm down.” Wooyoung patted Jongho’s shoulder “So… you want to take things slowly, huh? I think… if you want to know about him you better ask Mingi or Hongjoong? Me and San didn’t know him that much..”
“I’ll try..? I guess..”
Jongho knows that Wooyoung isn’t that close with Yunho, also the person who is really close with Yunho is Mingi, and the number two is Hongjoong, other than that? Jongho didn’t know. Maybe that’s why there’s a lot of stupid rumours around him. But Yunho agreed, wanting to know more about him, and also… he can’t miss this chance, to be this close with his crush and also… to be in a relationship with him.
“Good luck—ah, speak of the devil, there he is.”
“Jongho.” Yunho called him and put his hand on Jongho’s shoulder, “It’s good to see you today, do you have class after this?” Jongho shook his head, “Good, how about trying a new menu from a cafe near here?” he said as he caressing Jongho’s head with a bright smile on his face.
Wooyoung gasped, “Oh—” and Jongho quickly realized that Wooyoung is also here, “I.. I think I have to go to my class… Uhm… I’m sorry, Jongho-ya, later!” Wooyoung waved his hand as he quickly left both of them there.
“H-hyung!” ‘Wait! Please don’t leave me, hyung! You’re the one who created the mess! But.. alright, thanks.’ Jongho waved his hand back.
“It’s Wooyoung, right?” Yunho said and Jongho looked at him, confused “If you ask me how I do know him, because he dates one of my close friends, Hongjoong hyung.” and Jongho hummed “Cute.” before Jongho could protest, Yunho immediately held his hand “Let’s go, Jongho.”
Jongho didn’t know what would happen, but he wanted to believe in Yunho. He didn’t know where this relationship would go, but Jongho thought it would be okay as long as Yunho held his hand, even though he will ended up heartbroken later.
