The school hours seemed endless to Ong. He couldn't stand being in a different class from Daniel. He already missed the other, and the worst part was that he didn't know with whom the younger may be talking to right now. His eyes were fixed on the board but his mind was traveling to where Daniel was. He quickly exhaled from his nose and shut his eyes that he had been keeping them open, without blinking. He let the pen he was holding in his right hand and scratched the back of his head nervously. He let his shoulders hang and spread his legs away from his chair slightly touching the student's chair that was in front of him. When the bell rang, his torture didn't end there, he had to watch Daniel from afar. Laughing to other students, who were young and handsome in Ong's opinion. He had to watch his lover even hug some of the students that Daniel had long time to see. Those beautiful sad eyes, this bright smile, that athletic body of the younger, Ong missed all these. The older had placed his hands in the pockets of his school uniform pants, looking at the other from distance with a smirk that hid his pain. That moment Daniel turned his head towards him, making Ong audibly hold his breath and freeze with his eyes open. His lips parted, his eyes focused on the younger's dark ones. Ong shouldn't show his emotions, he shouldn't let the other play with his mind, he should step up. That moment the bell rang, the break was over. Many more hours of torture had started for the older. During the class, even when the teacher was talking, he couldn't hear the words clearly. He started to scratch his head with both of his hands, but soon tried to calm down, not wanting anyone's attention. After few more torturous hours , and the bell finally rang, they were at last dismissed. He packed his things quickly, and walked on the hallway with short but quick steps, turning his head slightly looking at the students around him that didn't let much space in between each other. Walking now the hallway towards the main exit door, the older raised his head up trying to find his lover but couldn't see him. He pressed his lips together in disappointment and looked down, still walking out of the door. He didn't see him in the yard either, few more steps and he's out of the school yard doors. There he saw Daniel, he was waiting for him at the end of the pavement, few steps away from the yard. Ong looked at him from behind, thinking of the rudeness from the younger, who ignored him for so many hours. Anger hit him but kept it inside, pausing for a moment before walking faster towards him. When he got closer, he reached his hand out placing it on Daniel's shoulder, making him turn around:

"Hey"

said Ong coldly and monotonously. His face didn't show more than his seriousness. Daniel looked down before looking at him in the eyes, with a small smile that allowed his teeth to be seen:

"Hey"

the younger's tone was more quiet, more calm. Ong kept looking at him with a serious face, the younger thought the older was about to smile even if the older didn't. He always had everything under control, maybe that was why Daniel could easily imagine a smirk on his face. But the older's words woke him out of his thoughts:

"Can I come to your house"

"...Why are you asking?"

"So you don't want me to come or.."

"Yes, you can come, you're my...boyfriend, why wouldn't I want you with me"

the younger's words made Ong smile widely. Which surprised Daniel, his smile was beautiful, the younger wanted to see him like this more often. On the way to Daniel's home, the older had tried to hold hands with him but the other was too shy to do this on public and too scared about people's judgment. Arriving, they took their shoes off and let their bags on the side. Daniel leaded him in the kitchen and prepared food for both of them. They sat together silently, eating, then studying and then watched a movie for a break. They were trying to be like all the couples, even if they were feeling differently. As Daniel was concentrated on the television screen, Ong who had his hand on the sofa behind the younger's back, let his hand fall touching him on his shoulders. This caught the younger's attention, as he turned his eyes met Ong's pleading ones. Suddenly Daniel's eyes showed sadness to see the older like this:

"What?"

asked the younger in a ready to cry tone. The older didn't change his expression, either looked away:

"What do you feel about me Daniel?"

"What?"

"Tell me what you feel. I want to know"

asked the older, but his question was followed by a long pause. Daniel looked down, lips slightly parted, like he was thinking what to answer. Ong didn't wait more, he got his answer. He did a loud 'Tsk' before getting up but Daniel's hand around his wrist stopped him:

"Wait"

"Wait what Daniel?"

"Ong Seongwoo...I don't want to lose you. Come on...I'm not showing my emotions towards you...I'm confused...but for sure I know that I want you"

"You don't mean that"

"Shut up"

almost shouted the younger and also got up. He approached the older's face cupping it in both of his hands and looked at him in the eyes:

"No one ever really noticed me, and after becoming school's most popular student they suddenly loved me. But you, you always feared of losing me. I wasn't invisible to you...this sounds messy but,...I only have you"

said Daniel and approached the older's soft lips kissing them. Their kiss was the one with the most emotions and meaning. After few more seconds , the younger broke the kiss slowly, looking the older in the eyes:

"I love you"

"You do?"

joked Ong earning a slap on his arm by the younger, making him laugh and hug his body for protection. The younger then took Ong's hands in his own and brought their bodies together, leading the older's hands on his lower back. Ong gave him a sinful look while Daniel was looking at his lips with his mouth slightly open asking for him. Ong took him up in his hug with Daniel's legs around the older's waist and his hands wrapped around his neck. They were looking each other in the eyes and Daniel kissed him while smiling. 

When he was around the older, his depressed mood would change. He was smiling or getting angry, not feeling numb anymore. His anger proved to himself that he cares about the older, and his smile showed the other's positive effect on him. The moments they had together from now on was something Daniel couldn't even imagine, he was happier. On the other hand,  Ong was still feeling insecure of losing him, but as the days passed he could see Daniel trying to spend more time with him. The older saw Daniel falling more and more for him, wanting to be with him or kiss him or even simply hug him for hours. Yet the older tried to take care of Daniel's feelings, not wanting to lose his trust. They wouldn't describe their relationship as the best, but they were both young and still learning.
