jinki hasn’t really put much thought into their relationship. it was just one day he woke up with jonghyun’s face only centimeters away and he couldn’t help but close that little distance between them, gently pressing their lips together.

in his defense, jonghyun wasn’t supposed to be awake—not really—and he definitely wasn’t supposed to open his eyes right when jinki pulled away. least of all, he wasn’t supposed to drag the elder man back in by his neck and crash their mouths together, kissing him hard until jinki became dangerously lightheaded from the lack of oxygen.

if you asked him, jinki could recall every second of that moment; the way jonghyun’s lips felt against his, the younger man’s warm hand on the back of his neck and waist, the way his heartbeat raced in time with jonghyun’s, the warmth of the bed sheets that curled around their bodies, the comfort of the soft morning light, and the life-changing realization that lee jinki might just be in love with his best friend.

and that kim jonghyun might just love him back.
