Chapter Text
Yongha is lounging in front of the TV on the lower bunk bed in the living room. Just like how he usually spent his nights in the dorm, after finishing The Penthouse episodes with Seokhwa, the younger now goes back to his room while Yongha stays there.
He feel too comfortable already, lay back facing straight to the TV, the best pose for a homebody like him. Seems like he is watching something but honestly he just blank staring at whatever playing on the TV until he sees Daehyeon suddenly goes to the kitchen
"What are you watching?" the older ask without looking at him. Keep himself busy on the pantry, seemingly making instant coffee
"Nothing" Yongha answers. There's a sulky tone on his voice that makes Daehyeon chuckles
Yongha curls to his blanket, contemplating whether to grab the remote to browse another channel or not. He choose not to do anything (as expected) and lean his head to the pillow
"You'll end up sleeping with the TV on again"
Yongha respond in a short hum while Daehyeon come to him with a glass of latte (or coffee milk as the other like to tease him), asking Yongha to make space so that he can sit on the bunk bed too
"Arent there any interesting shows?" the older grab the remote, changing channels until he decides to just turn it off with Yongha's indifferent nod
Daehyeon sips his latte before grabbing phone from his pocket and starts looking through the SNS. He likes to lurk and see what the fan replied to their posts, "My mood booster" he always say.
Now that the living room is silent with only the two of them,Yongha cant help but pay attention to the older. Still laying on his side, he watches how Daehyeon got so immersed with his phone, sometime with a serious face, other time with a smile and chuckles.
Yongha smiles to that. Daehyeon is so pretty in his eyes. A beautiful man with a beautiful heart. Yongha adores him. It's a blessing now that he can work with Daehyeon as a group and spent almost 24/7 with him.
But of course its not as simple as that. Yongha thought his feeling to Daehyeon is just pure adoration (because everyone knows how Daehyeon is always being sweet and never hesitate to show some affections). But the more time they spent together, more laughter, more affections, more skinship... He realize deep down there's more to his feelings.
Slowly he got up just to snuggle and put his head on Daehyeon's shoulder. He has worries in his head and the best thing to comfort himself is to be with Daehyeon.
"I thought you fall asleep" Daeyeon said
Yongha searching for Daehyeon hands before answering lazily "No"
Daehyeon still looking through his phone with one hand, and the other one instantly clasps to Yongha's when the younger reach for him.
It's warm. Holding Daehyeon's hand is warm. Snuggling to the older is warm and its comforting how he always reciprocate to Yongha. He didn't have to say anything but Daehyeon will understand what he wanted and do it right away.
They spent some time just like that. Yongha slowly close his eyes just enjoying the moment until Daehyeon feels heavy on his shoulder. Probably Yongha has fallen asleeep. He put his phone aside, tugging Yongha's hand
"Yongha you're not gonna sleep in your room?"
The younger jotted a bit, but instead of waking up, he just lean to snuggle further and hug Daehyeon by the waist "Ya, Yongha-ya.." Daehyeon playfully pushes the younger though he practically just let Yongha sleep on top of him.
"Go sleep on your room" Daehyeon said with an annoyed tone but his action speaks otherwise, fingers softly carding Yongha's long hair.
"Dont want to... it's nice here" Yongha grumbling, voice muffled to Daehyeon's shirt. The older cant help but just let the him be, hands keep stroking Yongha's hair. Daehyeon sigh a bit just because the big tall baby on his stomach preventing him from grabbing the latte mug. Then he heard Yongha calling for him,
"Hyung?"
Daehyeon only answers with a hum. Yongha got up and now facing his hyung. He give a longing stare to his eyes before saying,
"You know I like you a lot right"
Daehyeon give him a look and faintly laugh, "of course I know"
"No, I mean like really really like you"
There it is, Yongha is kind of had enough of his hyung playing and act as oblivious when he knows how open they are toward each others. Yongha keep on looking at the older in the eye making sure Daehyeon get the real meaning of it.
"I know, Yongha. I love you as much. Come here" Daehyeon quickly pull him into a hug. To his mind, Yongha may just have worries and doubts again and he, as the hyung, is willing to help throw the worries away.
It isn't.
A weak hearted guy he is, Yongha just give in to the hug.
'But Hyung- I really like you'
These words keep repeating in his mind.
