'I still remember, 3rd of December…'
Junhui just sat on Mingyu's bed, eventually getting off his phone to look back up at him, remembering something, while Mingyu was cleaning up his clothes, sorting them more nicely…
"Oh yeah, I still have the-"
Mingyu looked over at him, smiling gently at him, pausing what he was doing for a bit…
"-Don't worry about it, it looked better on you anyways"
Mingyu chuckled softly as he went back to what he was doing, now smiling, not noticing Junhui's slight surprised expression…
Junhui just looked at him for a second, before propping his hand up on his knee, leaning his head on the palm of his hand, tilting his head, continuing to softly look at him, before looking away. How did he know what he was talking about without letting him even finish? The compliment as well?
Everything that this guy did just made his heartbeat faster every time…
'As he walks by…'
Junhui sat at a table, his leg up on the chair ,having his sketchbook in his lap, looking at the rough drawing of the eye he just drew, looking up as he watched Soonyoung and Chan talk amongst themselves while Minghao was sitting next to him, just reading the book he just recommended to him, seeing him already being halfway through the book…
He looked away from them, seeing him walking by the table, his eyes staying on him as he saw Mingyu acting oddly close with some girl?
Junhui looked back down at his drawing, just looking at it, almost holding his pen as if it was a just prop in an acting scene. Was Mingyu already was dating someone and he only knew just now? He closed his eyes as his brows furrowed a little, almost not noticeable. If he was he would at least told him, Right? Junhui just opened his eyes again, just flipping the page so he didn't see that eye anymore…
But Mingyu did seemed like he really liked her…
'Why would you ever kiss me…?"
Junhui just walked towards his bed, looking over to the chair where he put Mingyu's hoodie on. Ever since he saw Mingyu with her, he was suddenly acting so distant. He just sighed, looking around for a bit. Why was he even thinking all this? it was Mingyu's life plus the girl was pretty and seemed nice enough, even if he barely knew a lot about her…
Junhui just laid down on his bed, looking over to the small mirror he had on his bedside table, turning to his side. He looked at his facial features, His eyes not faintly shadowed with his usual guy-liner, but he was in his dorm, why would he wear it if no-one saw him, other than Soonyoung, who was his roommate, which was fine, they saw the bests and worsts of each other anyways…
He looked away after a bit, just huffing. What made things a little worse was that Mingyu was handing his hoodies out like it was some charity event.Not really, it was just that girl he gave another one to, Well at least he thinks that's all. Something told him he was definitely over-reacting, it was just some piece of fabric or polyester if you're like that…
Either way, it seemed like Mingyu liked her a lot better…
'Watch as she stands…'
Junhui walked out of his evening class, going to walk out of the building, pausing for a second to see how much it was raining. It was the only time he actually forgot to check the weather at all. He huffed just pulling up the hood of his hoodie, the dorms weren't that far either way. As he walked his eyes glanced over to two people who was standing under some tree.
It was Mingyu, with that same girl…
He glanced at the both of them,seeing how she was holding his hand. Might as well just cling onto her as well,Kim Mingyu. His eyes lingered on them for a little longer before just looking back in front of him, walking a little quicker so he could get to his dorm faster. Junhui just closed his eyes for a second,pushing the thoughts away,taking out his phone, just ignoring the raindrops falling onto him and his phone screen…
He hated how jealous he was acting, they were barely even friends anymore…
'As he walks by,'
Mingyu immediately noticed Junhui walked in his direction, smiling as he had the urge to talk him. They haven't talked a lot recently, but the look Junhui had on his face as he saw him looking at them, told him that he shouldn't even try…
His gaze just followed as he saw Junhui just walked past him as if they were just strangers, he instantly let of her hand, get out from under the tree, ignoring how harsh the wind and rain was, just looking at the direction Junhui went. Glancing back at her, seeing her look confused, just walking away…
Mingyu just looked down, as he started to walk towards where Junhui went. Just then he remembered something, just stopping in his place. All this time he thought he was looking at him, what if all this time he was looking at her? What if it was her eye that he was drawing in his book..? Mingyu took a deep breath, either way he couldn't stand how distant their friendship was now…
It killed him having the thought that they weren't even friends anymore…
'Why would you ever kiss me?'
Mingyu chuckled as he walked with Seokmin, the guy took every single chance to make a fool of himself, he would too but he wouldn't admit that…
Just then he noticed, Junhui and Minghao get up from a table, Junhui flashing his usual grin. He missed being the cause of it. He then saw Junhui leave a crumpled up piece of paper on the table. He glanced over at Seokmin, who was clearly to busy trying to wave at Minghao. He was too whipped for his own good…
Mingyu then started to walk towards where Junhui was,once he knew they were gone, picking up the crumpled piece of paper, seeing how it seemed as if it was ripped from a notebook. He smoothed it out, seeing it was the eye he saw Junhui drew that day. His eyes furrowed a little , but immediately realized what he was doing, just shoving the piece of paper into his pocket.Why was he overanalysing this? It was just a piece of paper?
If Junhui really did like her, he almost wished he was her instead…
A few days later
'Heyyy, Soonie is hosting a party at his tonight, wanna go?'
Mingyu's eyes almost lit up, as he read what Seokmin sent him. If it was at Soonyoung's dorm, maybe Junhui would be there? He immediately started typing…
'Do you think Jun will be there?'
He just stared at his phone, as his legs shook waiting for Seokmin to reply back, he really needed to know. Maybe he could take the chance now to talk to him?
'Yh, Hao said he'll probably be there'
Mingyu almost jumped up from where he was sitting, before just calming down, before just thanking Seokmin, just typing up something else, sending it. He just left his phone on his bed, he had about an hour to get ready. He picked out a a black button up, just paired with black pants. He didn't think much about it, he literally just picked the first things he saw in his closet…
Once he was ready, he looked back onto his phone to check something. He still didn't read it. Or he was wrong, covering his mouth.He read it right now.
'Hey, can you meet me at the balcony near your dorm?'
He was typing.
Mingyu just grinned proudly as he saw Junhui agree,looking at himself in the mirror making sure he looked good, he glanced over to the piece of paper, before taking it putting it into his pocket…
'Why would you ever kiss me..?'
Junhui walked out into the balcony, immediately feeling the cool breeze. He looked around raising his eyebrow, as he saw no trace of him. Did he cancel last minute? Junhui walked towards the frame of the balcony, leaning a little over it…
As he felt the wind against his clothes: a gray turtle neck with dark blue jeans , His eyes narrowed, as he fiddled with his sleeves. He wouldn't just cancel just like that, would he? He was the one who planned it in the first plac-
"..Jun-hyung!"
Mingyu walked over to him as he closed the door behind himself. He definitely seemed way more reserved than usual but what did he know. They weren't even that close for a few weeks now…
Junhui looked over to him, smiling a little bit as he looked at him though he looked away quite quickly, as Mingyu just took a deep breath taking the drawing out of his pocket, looking at it before looking back up at Junhui…
"..Whose eye is this?" Mingyu practically held his breath as Junhui turned to look at him, immediately noticing how his eyes slightly widened as he saw the familiar drawing. Though after Junhui seemed a little shy, looking away…
"…yours" Junhui said as he cleared his throat, still looking away as he leaned against the balcony. However, Mingyu grabbed his shoulders, turning him to face him, staying silent before suddenly hugging him around his neck tightly, burying his face into the side of Junhui's neck..
"…I love you too, Wen Junhui.."
