19 Optimism

Desperate

Daehyun woke up to the sound breathing of the boy in his arms.

He stared softly at the angelic boy, before carefully lifting his arm to carress the boy's soft and puffy cheek with loving . It was no suprise how Youngjae was still sleeping so soundly wrapped in his arms. The boy had practically tire his heart out from playing with the kids yesterday. Daehyun thought Youngjae was going to make a great parent, unlike his own.

He thought back about how lucky he was to have met him, and how it feels like only yesterday, he had seen a boy with raven hair approach his glass cage with his teary eyes..

He smiled at all the memories he's experienced with Youngjae so far... and though they were little, he was still at content..

But a thought soon came..

his smile faded into a downcast frown as he quickly retrieved his hand

This wasn't going to last forever...

Eventually, they had to get caught..it was a small planet afterall.. but eventhough there was a diversity of factors that could bring them down, he still couldn't help but wish that time could stand still for both of them..eventhough he knew it was too much to ask, he couldn't help  but wish he was normal, and that no one was after them, that they could live in peace without having to run from one place to another out of fear, and maybe then..just maybe.. he and Youngjae could be together, forever, just like how he always wanted them to be...

but he knew all too well that t'was merely just a dream...

"D-Dae?" a sleepy yet sweet voice interrupted his thoughts

"hmmnh?"

"Why were you frowning just now?" the petite boy innocently asked

"Oh..it's nothing, Youngjae-ah... you can go back to sleep.."

"No..I don't want to sleep anymore.. I wanna know why you were frowning... is something bothering you? You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Of course I know that... but really.. there's nothing wrong"

"Oh..Okay.." Youngjae choosed, it's best to trust in Daehyun's words.

a fat silence occured for awhile..

Daehyun thought of something to brighten up the atmosphere.. he was just itching to say it since day one anyway..

"Youngjae?.."

"Yeah?.."

"You know... I always thought of you as an angel...inside and out.."

Daehyun had known angels were beautiful super good things.. his mom used to say it too him a lot back then, accompanied by a million descriptions of him being the best son she could ever ask for...

Youngjae's mouth hunged agaped.. there were just too many unpredictable things that Daehyun could make up with.. Youngjae couldn't help it... it's either he blurts out a flustered reaction or just have his mind at plain blank

"O-Oh... Dae-ah... your making me blush so early in the morning.."

"Hmmnn... what's a blush?..."

"Oh..let's see.. A blush is when a person will turn red from shyness, gratefulness, shamefulness, and all that..or it can simply be created from seeing the one you love ... it's more of an emotional response or reflex? I guess.. well there also some other reasons.. some are medical and some are occassional "

"Red? you mean like what you turned into yesterday? red as a to-tometo? temata? "

"It's tomato..it's a kind of fruit that's red.. and yes, tell you what..you're right.. I was blushing yesterday.."

"but why? I mean..there wasn't really a visible reason that made you like that...unless...there was.."

Daehyun looked at Youngjae with much fascination

"There was! wasn't there?! c'mon Jae! you have to tell me the reason!" he asked eagerly

"This might either be a good or bad start of my day.. hehe.. I'm just kidding... actually.. I was blushing because of you.."

"m-me? w-why? I mean... I didn't make you feel ashamed or anything... did I?"

"Hehe..it's not shameful, silly.. I was blushing because I was..ugh...thankful and flattered I guess? "

"For what?"

"Well you did say you loved riding my back...plus you shot that oh so Jung charming laugh at me... so yeah... I got flustered.." Youngjae muttered, facing every direction that is NOT Daehyun's face.. he took the advantage of Daehyun not truly knowing what his actions and words really meant... he knew it was probably a rude and bad thing to do, but he just didn't know what's better to say.. it is better to tell the truth eventhough the person you're telling it to, doesn't understand, than to not tell the truth at all

"Oh... I see.." Daehyun let out a yawn

"Youngjae-ah... should we leave today?... I mean I understand that you really didn't wanna stay here at all.. and I don't wanna make you feel uncomfortable...so...should we-"

"No! Ughh... I mean.. we could stay until the day ends..."

"and travel at night? are you sure?"

"N-No ughhh... all I'm saying is-"

"You don't wanna leave the kids now do you?"

"Yeah... well not without a proper goodbye at least... it's been awhile since I spent time with kids their age... so yeah.."

"how about we spend the half day with them... then we can leave an hour or so after lunch... as much as I wanna stay here...I really don't want them to get tangled up in my mess with the company and all.."

"You mean, our mess.. we're in this together, remember? and yeah..You're right...I don't want anybody else to get involve with the crappy stuff the company's giving us..."

"It's decided then.."

________________________________________

Soon after they ate breakfast and do their daily basis, as expected, loud knocks were heard through the front door

There they found three cute little bundles wrapped up adorably with layers of puffy clothing

Youngjae couldn't help but cooe and pinch each kid's red and chubby cheek

"Hyungs! What do you think we should do today?" Jungkook asked with enthusiasm radiating

"Well we're going to have lots of fun! That's for sure!"

"So we're going to have fun all day! right hyung?Junhong hopefully asked

Youngjae's smile twitched to a frown for awhile bit before turning completely to a sad smile

"Sorry Junhong-ah... but me and your Daehyun hyung has to leave an hour after lunch..."

"W-What? y-you're not staying? 
I-I thought you were gunna live here forever!" The maknae sadly dictated, sounding so much like a baby that had lost his precious candy

"we're really sorry, Junhong-ah.."

Youngjae crouched down to pat the kid's back in comfort

"no...it's okay..you have your reasons.. let's just make the remaining time you have here, memorable! " 
Youngjae smiled at Junhong's optimism... he should really learn a thing or two from that optimistic 7 year old...
