So many things were running through Youngjae’s head at that moment. He didn’t know if what he just heard was real.

He didn’t.... There’s no way he likes me back. He’s never shown any signs of him liking me… Maybe he did. But I was just too naive to notice…. Ahhh, he’s looking at me!

“Y-you what?”

Youngjae finally met Jaebum’s eyes and saw that he was smiling at him with sincere eyes.

“I like you too.” Jaebum reached out for the younger’s hand and took it into his own. He started to rub his thumb in circles on the back of Youngjae’s hand. “But, since when? Why didn’t you say anything?”

“The same reason you didn’t say anything.” Jaebum let out a soft chuckle. “Youngjae-ah, I’ve actually like you since the first day we met. I just knew there was something about you that I was drawn to. I don’t know how to explain it.” He looked at the blank tv screen and smiled.

“When Mark accidentally told me that you liked me, I was so surprised. I didn’t think it was possible, to like a guy like me.”

Youngjae laughed, “What do you mean ‘a guy like you’?”

Jaebum looked away, a very faint blush ghosting over his cheeks. “Everyone labels me as the basketball team’s star, the captain. I’m a jock.” Youngjae noticed Jaebum making a face, as if he was sad but trying not to show it.

“I don’t like you because you’re a jock or because you’re their star or whatever. I don’t like the captain of the basketball team. I like y-you, for who you are.”

I am literally losing my mind. I’m saying things I would never admit to anyone, but here I am! Telling the guy I LIKE my deepest secrets. God Youngjae, when will you learn to shut up?! Youngjae was mentally arguing with himself when he noticed Jaebum looking at him.

Jaebum slowly lifted his hand to rest it on Youngjae’s cheek, the younger automatically leaning in to his touch. Youngjae was looking at him with wide eyes as the older moved closer. He could feel his breathe. Jaebum began to rub his thumb across the latter’s cheek softly, “How much do you trust me? Like on a scale from 1 to 10.”

Youngjae was slightly taken back by the sudden question. Why did Jaebum want to know that? It was out of nowhere, but the younger answered it anyway.

“U-uh, like an 8 I guess. Why do you ask-”

And before he knew it, Jaebum’s lips were pressed against his. They were soft and fit nicely against Youngjae’s own lips. It didn’t go any farther than just a peck, Jaebum not wanting to scare the younger male away. He was the first to pull away, leaving Youngjae frozen in his seat. He slowly brushed his fingertips against his lips, not completely believing what just happened. Jaebum waved his hand in front of the younger’s face, “Youngjae-ah, are you there?”

“T-that was my first kiss.”

“A-ah I am so sorry! I didn’t know!”

“No, don’t apologize. I’m actually glad it was you who took my first kiss.”
