It was bright inside, mutiple colorful set of paintings were hanging on each side of the wall. It was beautiful. As if each picture tells a story behind each . Seungri could feel the emotion hidden at the back of those colorful artworks. He wasnt a fan of art and such but he definitely appreciate this one.

 

"Sit here"

 

Only then that seungri snap back from his reverie. Jiyong bought him a chair to settle himself which he gladly accepted just because his legs were begging him to rest. After a few minutes, jiyong came back with a canvas on one hand and brush with set paints on the other. 

 

"What is that for?"

He asked. Even though he somehow knew the answer

 

"Im going to draw you" jiyong replied with excited grin plastered on his beautiful sculptured face 

 

Bunch of curiousity spark on seungri's mind. Could he do that? I mean, look at his creations, there wasnt even a single portrait of a human being hanging around so he assumed he couldnt draw. But he could paint. thats for sure. Intriguing isnt it?

Seungri remain seated as he watched how jiyong splashes different colors one after the other to the paper only to cover it in black at the end. His forehead wrinkled in confusion 

Would the portrait even look like him? Or a human at least? 

 

"Here. Its yours"

 

Seungri look at the painting in disbelief. Is he by any chance, mocking him? Because there wasnt even a picture in the first place. Only darkness.

Is it possible that jiyong could somehow see that he was being swallowed by darkness hence, he drew it to let him know? Heol. 

Seungri's eyes grew wide at the idea and before he could actually threw his questions, jiyong started speaking

 

"Behind those darkness, there is you. Those beautiful colors even when covered in darkness will remain colors. Always look inside you seungri"

 

Jiyong paused and search for his eyes, when he found it, they lock it with his 

 

"No matter how much the darkness envelopes your whole being. You will always remain beautiful and full of colors. Because that is who you are. Sure there are dark times but that doesnt mean that your colors were gone, only covered. Once those time past, you will shine ever brighter and more beautiful than you already was"

 

Seungri is lost for words. Everything jiyong said went straight to his heart. It was rather touching that someone still see the colors buried deep inside the dungeon of his heart even though he was at his darkest moment the past few weeks. But its still a question as to why this guy right here, whom he just met in not so nicest way was saying all these things to him and even wasting time to someone who doesnt even worth spending

 

Yes. Seungri doesnt seem to see his worth anymore, he lost it way back when mino cheated but jiyong, a stranger, a jerk, a bastard he always pushes away was the only one who see through him

 

"Why... "

 

Seungri started catching jiyong's attention in the process

 

"Hmm?"

 

 

"Why are you being so kind to me?"

 

Upon hearing the most silly question seungri have ever asked, jiyong flash his warmest smile in return making sure that his sincerity would magically reach seungri's bruised heart 

 

"Bacause i like you"

 

And thats the truth. 

 

Not because something happened between them. It was way before seungri has ever realize his existence. It was when jiyong came back from the office, frustrated and devastated. Nothing goes right that day, even the project he had been working hard for weeks got messed up just like that. With heavy a heart, he drag his feet back to his room carrying the sketch of his failed project proposal when he cross path with this fluffy little sunshine who automatically smile after meeting his eyes. 

Later on he found himself smiling back, embracing the warmth the boy has offered. 

 

It was rather hard to believe no matter how much seungri had already heard those words coming from jiyong's lips. The guy has been very vocal about his feelings and seungri keeps on doubting every single time. He wasnt ready for another heartbreak just yet. 

 

"Do you also plan to break me?"

 

Jiyong got a little taken aback hearing seungri suddenly ask such profound question, but he understand. He know where the question is coming from, the boy still has some trust issue after getting broken

 

"No man in his right mind would fix a person only to break him the second time. At least not me. I sincerely like you. I've never felt this kind of emotion to anyone before..." He trailed off only to capture seungri's hand on his own. Seungri flinch upon the touch but didnt make an effort to pull away 

 

"you made me feel alive seungri. The moment i laid my eyes on you, something inside me flutters in a way i couldnt explain. And when you take me that night, my heart almost burst out from my chest"

 

A sudden heat rushes straight at seungri's face. That confession is so sudden he got caught off guard

 

Its been a while since the last time he heard someone utter how special he was. Because the last time, was just a lie. He wonder if this time, it will be different? Or it will be just another lie because seungri is so easy to deceive. People seem to enjoy making a fool out of him

 

--

 

Its been three days since he last saw jiyong. He ask some time to consider the offer of leaving the place where he grew up. Surprisingly, jiyong did. He stop bothering seungri -almost. The guy didnt show up for days but flooded seungri's inbox like crazy asking if he had eaten, sleep well and all that poinless stuff

 

Which can make a person feel special.

 

JY-SR:

"Hey seungri are you awake yet? Hurry up and open the door! There seems to be a lost puppy in front of your door"

 

Oh did seungri forgot to mention that he was outrageous as hell? I mean, he keeps sending that kind of message everyday saying there's a puppy, cat, bear or even a panda at his doorstep! And guess what he always find everytime he open the door?

 

With a knowing sigh, seungri stood up from his bed and swung the door open

 

As expected.

 

A medium size stuffed puppy was sitting right at his door step with a ready made packed meal in his lap

 

Sometimes, seungri wonder if jiyong was perhaps jobless because he seems to have all the time in his hands to even prepare breakfast for him every freaking day.

 

Not to mention those cringe worthy lines he always write using ketchup

 

Unconsciously, a small smile crept up on seungri's face as the foolish but heart-warming sight that welcome him every morning came into view.

 

Goodmorning sunshine! I prepare some eggrolls for you, hope you like it kk 

 

"Does he never get tired of doing this every morning? Gosh he was so troublesome" seungri murmurs to himself

 

He didnt know why the smile on his face never leave even when he initially intended to get angry at the first place, maybe jiyong was really something after all. The guy knows how to make someone feel special doesnt he? Seungri should be carefully not to let his guard down 

 

Picking up his phone from the bed, seungri texted his thanks to jiyong after swallowing the last bite. It was amazingly delicious, seungri couldnt stop eating even though he doesnt have any appetite. 

 

A seconds later, his phone buzz indicating a new message

 

JY-SR:

All for you sweetheart

 

Seungri bursted out laughing at this

 

SR-JY:

Gosh you sounded like my grandma lolololol

 

Hands on his stomach, seungri rolled his body on the soft mattress laughing to his heart content. Geez its been a while since he had a good laugh like this

 

Immediately, the heavy feeling inside his chest was lifted up. Like magic, it disappeared as if it wasnt there to begin with. Seungri felt lighter and refreshed. All thanks to jiyong

 

JY-SR:

Did i sound too old?! Damn i shouldnt have consulted google!  

 

Jiyong is smiling widely the whole time he was looking at his cellphone. He cant help but to feel giddy whenever he thinks about the young boy. Seungri is too beautiful, too innocent and so charming that even his dreams at night where all occupied by the latter. There is no escape in this. Jiyong has already fallen hard. Of all people who drool over him, he actually fell for the one who only knew his existence just few days ago. And broken if he my add. But it doesnt matter. Love doesnt have bounderies, it doesnt and shouldnt have limit. Love is selfless. Who cares if it takes forever to fix his broken heart? Patience is a virtue isnt it? Life is a gumble, might as well take risk. 

 

SR-JY:

Thanks, i had a good laugh. Anyway,  we should talk. I think i have my answer now

 

Jiyong's heart suddenly beat rapidly inside his chest. He's gonna have seungri's answer now its crazy why is he being nervous?

 

JY-SR:

Ok then, should i go there?

 

He started walking back and forth while waiting for seungri's reply. What is this uneasy feeling? Its not like he is having an answer for his confession though. Its a different thing jiyong calm your nerves down

 

SR-JY:

My room is not a very good place for the both of us, I suggest we should meet somewhere else

 

He almost choke in his own saliva when seungri said this lol they should know better than stay in that room full of events -hot events. The thought alone is able to make jiyong bashful on his own. Thank goodness he doesnt have anyone with him in his office or else it would be the end of his great image, if it wasnt ruined yet after walking out the hotel half . 

 

I guess he arrived a little bit too early for seungri is nowhere yet to be found. Its better this way, he needs time to settle his heart in place

 

"Excuse me? Can i have water?"

 

He felt his throat gone dry, jiyong has never been this nervous before 

 

"Im sorry to keep you waiting"

 

His heart almost jump out the moment he heard that familiar voice. The reason why he's being weird right now

 

"Nah, i just arrived a little bit to early"

 

He noticed how seungri's face got less darker than the last time they met, but still not as bright as the first time he laid eyes on the boy. Maybe the break up really did some serious damage. He should know because he had been in the same situation before so he can't blame seungri for losing his glow 

 

"Im glad"

 

Sungri take his seat and jiyong quickly cease this opportunity to gulp down the water while he can cause surely, its gonna be a long talk

 

"Im going"

 

Or not. 

 

Fck. How could seungri went straight to the point like that?! 

 

"Im sorry i think i miss it, you are what again?"

 

He heard it. Loud and clear. But he just wanted to hear it the second time. Words suddenly sounds more beautiful when it personally comes out from seungri's lips

 

"I said im going with you"

 

"You're going with who?"

 

Seungri is beginning to lost his sht at how ridiculous jiyong is behaving right now when he is in fact serious about this whole thing

 

"Are you deaf or what? Maybe we should talk after you got your ears checked"

 

Seungri stood up and ready to leave when jiyong took hold of his wrist 

 

"Ok im sorry. its just that, i got thrilled after hearing you say I and YOU in one sentence"  

 

Jiyong is grinning the whole time he was explaining himself to seungri. He probably looks stupid but he couldnt care less. He is happy and it is all that matter 

 

"You're hopeless"

 

Seungri commented with a chuckle. Jiyong's lips curve into a smile at the sight 

 

"So when are we leaving? I need to know so i could get the place ready" 

 

After hearing the question, seungri excused himself for a second and came back carrying a huge backpack which made jiyong's jaw drop

 

"We could leave now"

 

Damm my sunshine is always so full of surprises
