.Chapter o24.

Hoya was practicing a new dance routine for their comeback when his partner Dongwoo enters the dance room a little late holding a paper bag full of different snacks that was bought at the ground floor café. Hoya is kinda pissed off that Dongwoo might have forgotten that they are supposed to practice the whole day without breaks cos of their nearing comeback, but as soon as he open his mouth to say something, his partner offered him a coffee bread

“We haven’t eaten our breakfast yet and dancing without the source of our energy will get us sick” Dongwoo smiled at his partner and waits for him to take the bread from his hand

“Thank you” Hoya muttered and takes the bread along with the apple juice and they both decided to sit down on the floor and eat quietly—just like old times before they became awkward from each other.

Hoya glances at Dongwoo through the mirror wall and watches his friend eat happily with the snacks he bought, and for no reason, it made him smile too. He missed this times, he missed his old real partner

“So…I finally mastered the first part of our dance” Hoya started a conversation, hoping that Dongwoo will reply excitedly like before when he said those kind of news

“Oh…good, I guess I’ll have to practice more” Dongwoo ended the conversation with a forced laugh and Hoya knew it, he knew that Dongwoo is distancing himself from him

It’s really obvious to be honest, after the confession, he noticed that their friendship is slowly slipping away, it’s like their bonds is broken and they are now just plain ‘partners’ who just work with each other because it’s their job, because they both signed for it. It became more complicated when Hoya is chosen to have collaboration with Sunrise’ Sunggyu for a single. The collab made their friendship drifted further away that it end up just like this—just like their trainee days when they are still not close.

Dongwoo finished his snack and stands up to stretch his body, but Hoya thought of something better to do before starting their practice

“Dongwoo…” Hoya called and looks up at his friend “We…we need talk, it’s about our group”

“I know” Dongwoo cuts him off “I know that you don’t like working with me anymore, I’m sorry”

Hoya scoffed and also stands up to level himself to Dongwoo as he clear things out “Dongwoo look, it’s not your fault! I wanted to talk about something like ‘how we can change things back the way it was before’” He paused and sigh heavily “I really wanted our closeness back”

Dongwoo took a step back and look at somewhere else except the man in front of him “Hoya, it’s really impossible, you know I don’t look at you the same as bef—”

"I know that! But still...Dongwoo you are a very special friend to me, I don't want to lose you! Never! So please, I know you are hurting because you have to stay and conjure your feelings towards me but hear me out!” Hoya took a step forward with a new found confidence “Dongwoo I don't want you to stop liking me! Just...wait for me to realize something, please?"

"And what if I waited for nothing?" Dongwoo questioned with his voice shaking like he’s near crying

"You're not...cos I’m starting to realize that I'm feeling the same way towards you...I just need to confirm it, I need to be certain before I'll take you” Hoya smiled gently “I just…I don't want to hurt you again"

Dongwoo cried after Hoya’s over-whelming speech and they both had the trouble of stopping him from crying.

Woohyun is waiting for his Sunggyu at the recording room when the man said that he would just go to the men’s room. He’s listening to the few songs they composed that will be in their next album, reviewing some of the lyrics and also tuning up some of the music. A little later, Sunggyu arrived and immediately took the seat beside his boyfriend who just stared at him as soon as he entered the door

"You seem happy, what happened to the men’s room?" Woohyun asked curiously

And Sunggyu looks at him innocently but trying to hide his smile "hm?"

Woohyun then rolled his eyes and just pinch the chubby cheek of his boyfriend, who tried to take his hand away from the soft skin “You’re so cute when you act like this Gyugyu” Then his face looked serious again “But really, what happened? You know I don’t like being late to some gossips or news”

Sunggyu chuckled and nods before he starts talking “I heard CEO-nim with Myungsoo’s manager talking while I’m on my way here” He leaned forward to his boyfriend with a smile “They’re planning something big for the company”

Woohyun fake a gasp and also lean forward so that his face is near to Sunggyu “Oh my god! Really?!” He acted thrilled and they stayed close like that before Woohyun chuckled and kiss Sunggyu’s lips, then he leans back to his chair while laughing softly and stare at the pouting yet flustered Sunggyu “Damn…you are so adorable babe”

“Don’t do that! You do know there are cameras everywhere!”

Woohyun continue to laugh “So what? The CEO knows, the managers knows, our friends knows, and most of all, our family knows…what seems to be the problem with that?”

“Our fans don’t know” Sunggyu said as he look down to his fingers

Woohyun looks at the man in front of him with sympathetic eyes then he smirk as he thought of his reply “Oh please, as if they are not shipping us together, they should be happy that WooGyu is real”

Sunggyu looks up to Woohyun and sigh as he thought that his boyfriend got a point. There’s not much to worry about in their relationship, as long as both of their parents approved and seems like they’re supporting them as well, it’s all okay, fine, perfect. He felt relieved knowing that many people would be protecting them if ever they decided to go out to the public

“Maybe I’m too good in my past life that god gave me a lot of luck right now, I must be a nice person back then to receive this kind of blessings” Sunggyu, out of nowhere said those things while staring in the air and Woohyun just nod, joining his little trance

“Yeah, you’re right…you must be a good housewife, while I’m the nice father and we have a perfect family…” Woohyun continued but receives a punch from Sunggyu to his arms

“Are you implying that I’m the woman in this relationship?” The man squint his eyes, trying to look intimidating and manly to his boyfriend

“Why?” Woohyun smirked mischievously “Can you top me?”

Sunggyu became flushed and immediately turn his body to the side to take the lyrics at the table and started reading them, avoiding the talk cos he is still not ready for that kind of topic. And Woohyun just stared at him with a grin plastered on his face.

Myungsoo sighs heavily before entering the plane, he lowered his head to wear a pink snapback then walk to the aisle carefully, he doesn’t want to get noticed by the people he’ll be traveling for an hour cos that would be too stressful, and lucky for him, there are only old people, families that only have children and no female teenagers at all. He decided to take the place in the middle row with only two seats and put his bag on the other to save a seat for someone. A minute later, a tall man enters the plane that wears a black snapback, it scans the place before skipping down the aisle and sitting beside Myungsoo who immediately takes his bag out of the chair and smile at the person who sits beside him

“Myungie lets exchange seat, I want to be near the window” Sungyeol leans to the side to whisper to him

“Yeol, you won’t be seeing anything later when the plane takes off, and me sitting next to the aisle is dangerous, people might recognize me”

Sungyeol rolled his eyes to his boyfriend and leans back to his chair with a pout “Fine! But catch me when I fall asleep okay?”

Myungsoo nodded with a smile and takes Sungyeol’s hand to intertwine them with his. They waited for the plane to take off while taking a selca excitedly just to kill the boredom, and also to tease some friends who wanted to go with them but busy with their schedules

“Oh! Dongwoo replied to my post on our group!” Sungyeol laughed as he shows the message to Myungsoo

“He really wanted to go, almost begging for the CEO to give him a break and join our trip but Hoya keeps reminding them that it’s almost their comeback” Myungsoo said to Sungyeol after reading the message

“No wonder his posts in our group chat are full of crying emoticons”

Myungsoo nods “Yeah, and Woohyun is not helping, he keeps teasing Dongwoo that him and Gyu hyung will also have their vacation trip at Jeju while he’ll be left to practice for their dance routine” He chuckled as he remember the face of Dongwoo when Woohyun announced that they too have their vacation since it’s not yet Sunrise’s comeback

“Woohyun is a jerk sometimes, I can tell” Sungyeol nods to himself and type a reply to Dongwoo

“You have no idea” Myungsoo rolled his eyes and goes back to taking pictures of Sungyeol

The stewardess announced that they will be leaving so they have to turn off their phones to be safe. She also told them some information about the flight and the things that needs to know by the passengers. Myungsoo and Sungyeol gave a look to each other with a grin and nod

“This is it. Let’s have fun in Milan” Myungsoo whispered to his boyfriend’s ear and Sungyeol giggles

“Yeah…our honeymoon in Milan” Sungyeol smile sheepishly before leaning his head to Myungsoo’s shoulder

They arrived in Milan and excitedly takes the cab to get them to their hotel, while on the cab, they take a selca again to post in their group chat and Dongwoo keeps replying like he doesn’t have a practice at all, Woohyun started posting pictures of him and Sunggyu at Jeju, then Sungjong posted a picture of him in the Eiffel tower with a caption 'Wish you were ME', making Dongwoo to upload a picture of him in a crying mess. Myungsoo and Sungyeol both laughed at their friend’s childishness and decided to join Woohyun to tease their friend.

After taking the key to their hotel room, they skip towards the elevator and wait for their given floor

“Seventh floor, room sixty-nine” Myungsoo search for their door and finds it at the corner “There!” He pointed at Sungyeol and the latter run towards it excitedly, followed by the bellboy with their luggage.

They opened the room and gave a tip to the bellboy before closing the door and jumps excitedly, well only Sungyeol did that and Myungsoo just watch his happy boyfriend as he lay in the bed—their bed

“So what should we do first?” Sungyeol looks at his planner, also known as their to-do list for their trip

“Let’s eat first, I’m starving” Myungsoo whined earning a squint eyes from his boyfriend

“Yah, you ate the whole time while we’re on the plane, you also bought a snack in the airport and ate it at the cab, then you still want to eat now?” Sungyeol raise a brow “Kim Myungsoo, we’re not filming ‘Tasty Road’ here and your manager will strangle me if you suddenly gain weight when we arrive back to Seoul”

Myungsoo laughs and sits right up “Okay, okay, let’s take a walk on the street, explore the place and take some selcas then eat, sounds fun right?”

Sungyeol looked at him then grin “Yeah, that’s a good idea”

And so they explore the city and didn’t forget to make happy memories by taking selcas to every great places they went to. When the sky gets a little darker, they decided to go back but had a little afternoon snack at a café near their hotel, and then they end up falling in their bed exhaustedly with a content smile in their faces

“I really had fun” Sungyeol turn his head to face his boyfriend

“We have all the week to have fun my dear” Myungsoo looks back and wink, trying to be seductive but Sungyeol just laughed at it, though it’s working on him

Sungyeol scoots closer and hug his boyfriend’s waist then place his head on its chest “Before we really have fun tonight, let’s eat dinner first shall we?” He asked looking up

Myungsoo smirked in reply while looking down at the man who is cuddled up to him “You know what? I don’t feel like going down for dinner anymore” He flips there body, making him on top of Sungyeol “I’ll just have my dinner in bed, thank you very much” Then he kissed Sungyeol’s lips hungrily and the man responds to it with a giggle.
