Chapter 4 : Addiction (2/2)
Foul
Jisoo wonders around the ice cream shop while finding Jeonghan's favorite flavor but he can't keep his eyes away from his favorite one. He was thinking if he will buy it too and without second thought, he puts it into the basket and starts looking for strawberry ice cream for real. Taehyung just go besides Jisoo and holds his shirt like a kid who doesn't want to be lost in a market. Jisoo felt it really quick and finds it weird yet adorable.
"Ah, Taehyung-shi, why are you holding my shirt?" Jisoo wonders while both of them are walking around the shop
Without looking back to Him, Taehyung responded while his eyes fixed on various ice cream flavors "my mom said to me to hold my hyung's shirt whenever I'm in an unfamiliar place"
Jisoo chuckles a little because of Taehyung's innocent answer "are you not a little bit old to hold someone's shirt to not be lost in certain place?"
"Nah, it's better to be sure" He then again gives a little laugh and nods
Taehyung scans Jisoo while carefully picking a different kind of strawberry ice cream "hyung, why are you picking so long?"
"Oh sorry, Jeonghan is very sensitive on his ice cream so better pick what he likes" Jisoo responded with a smile
Taehyung just hums and added "seems like you known him for a very long time"
"You could say that. We met when we are still young" Taehyung widens up his eyes as he is amaze on what he had heard "seriously?"
"Seriously. Why?" Jisoo laughs while finally picking Jeonghan's strawberry
"It was just amazing! Many people around me have said that it is really fun falling in love" He enthusiastically shares while they are lining up into the counter
"it is really fun but sometimes, it is worth your tears" Jisoo responds back
"Hmmm did you and Jeonghan had a hard time in your relationship?" Taehyung wonders while staring eagerly into Jisoo's eyes
"Why are you curious to know?" Jisoo stares back while leaning his shoulder on the cart holder
"I just wanna add proof to what I believe in" Taehyung half seriously said
He raises his eyebrow and didn't quite get what his cousin is saying "and what are you believing in?"
"I believe it is hard to keep up on relationship. Just like it is easy to get but hard to keep. I act silly in front of many people so that they won't have any feeling from me because I can assure to myself that I will never fall in love" he explains as his hands is moving weirdly trying to pair up with his words
Jisoo remains silent for a moment and he is back with his self when he reached the counter. He puts the ice creams on the table and the lady quickly scans it. Jisoo paid the responding prices and leaves the shop together with Taehyung.
While walking on the parking lot, Jisoo continues their topic awhile ago
"Why are you saying those things to me awhile ago? I mean you just met me like 5 to 6 hours only but you are comfortable saying it to me"
Taehyung stops and smiles widely in front of Jisoo "I don't know. I just feel comfortable around you and I also feel that It's okay to share those things to you for I know, you can understand it"
Jisoo doesn't know what to say but he purposely ruins Taehyung's hair and smiles back to him. He signals him to go inside the car while he puts the bag on the back of the car. He moves at the driver's seat and quickly starts the engine.
While hitting the road, Taehyung was still mesmerize on the view of the city of South Korea when suddenly, Jisoo speaks to him.
"You know, me and Jeonghan had lots of hard times before we become happy as you see today" he looks at him quickly
"Really?" He asks
"It is up to you if you will believe that only yesterday we see each other once again after 3 years and fix what is undone before he flew in Japan" Jisoo added and Taehyung nods slowly
"So loving can hurt?" He wonders "Fully yes but it will also wakes you in reality that you still have to live because you love"
Taehyung opens his mouth and lets out a big "Ah~"
"You understand?" Jisoo said while smiling
He takes a long time before answering "... Nope"
Jisoo widens up his eyes "Yah, I explain passionately here but you don't understand?"
"Hahaha sorry hyung. Is just that those loving words doesn't bring impact to Me" Taehyung playfully said while moving the window up and down
"Yah yah what are you doing?" Jisoo peeks on what his cousin doing while keeping his eyes on the road
"Look how the window goes up and then down" Jisoo's face portrays a perfect "huh?" While hearing an innocent voice from Taehyung
"Seriously hyung this is art~" Taehyung continually plays the window of the car while smiling widely like a kid playing innocently
"Is it just me or this guy has some serious problem with the window?"
When they reached his condo, they went inside and sees his angel sleeping peacefully on the couch.
"Woah~ he surely is an angel~" Taehyung compliments while looking at Jisoo with a big smile that made his eyes dissapears in a blink of an eye
He just laughs it out and signals him to eat the ice cream first. He receives a big "Yey!" to Taehyung while he runs and opens the lid of the ice cream
Jisoo walks closer to Jeonghan and sits besides him while tracing the pretty boy's hair with his fingers "it has been a long time since I last see you sleeping here in my couch"
He smiles like an idiot while still playing on Jeonghan's silky hair when suddenly Jeonghan's eyes are opening slowly
"Oh you're already here?" Jeonghan sleepily said
"Yeah sleeping beauty" Jisoo response while still smiling. Jeonghan notices Jisoo's hand on his hair and can't help himself to chuckle a little because of it.
"You really admire my hair don't you?" He teases
"Nah, I just don't get it why you dye it with red" Jisoo laughs when Jeonghan lightly punch him on his shoulder
"Before you look at my red hair, look at your orange hair first" Jeonghan points out but Jisoo is not yet enough teasing his pretty boy
"Yeah I know, I look handsome on it" He proudly said
Jeonghan rolled his eyes that made Jisoo squish his cheeks hardly. Jeonghan literally screams because of the pain and Jisoo lets go of his cheeks when he is satisfied with how reddish the angel's cheeks are. Jeonghan annoyingly rubs his cheeks while Jisoo laughs it out seeing his angel pissed off again because of him.
Taehyung went to the living as soon as he heard Jeonghan's screamed "what what what is it?! Is there an alien invasion happening here?!"
Jisoo and Jeonghan look weirdly on Taehyung seeing him all so serious saying those words "y-you're joking right?"
"No I'm not" Taehyung seriously said
"Okaaay?" Jeonghan is confuse and looks at Jisoo signaling him to go with the flow.
"If no aliens are trespassing here, let's go eat the ice cream! Come on!" Taehyung holds Jeonghan and Jisoo's wrists and pull them to the kitchen
Jeonghan scans the different kinds of ice cream and looks at Jisoo "I only said to buy strawberry ice cream. Why did you buy chocolate one?"
"Yah, it's my favorite and besides, I still buy some strawberry ice cream for you" Jisoo said while handling some spoon to Jeonghan
They both sit down across Taehyung who is loving the taste of strawberry and chocolate on his plate.
"Try to combine the two. It is really good!" Taehyung suggests to the both
"Strawberry is good alone" Jeonghan smilingly said
"Yeah, chocolate tastes better alone" Jisoo innocently starting to tease Jeonghan again
"Yah Hong Jisoo don't start a fight again" Jeonghan glares
"Why? I'm just saying chocolate tastes the best" Jisoo added
"Strawberry is way better than chocolate" He fights back
"Chocolate that is"
"No, strawberry"
"Chocolate"
Taehyung felt dizzy exchanging his gaze to Jeonghan and Jisoo.
Jeonghan just rolled his eyes and being pissed once again "why are you so addicted teasing me every single time?"
"because you're so cute being pissed" he just ignores it but his cheeks blush all of the sudden
"Because of your love to strawberry, your cheeks becomes blushy" Jisoo teases once again
"Whatever" Jeonghan just stuff his strawberry ice cream yet Jisoo taps his long silky hair first before returning to his ice cream. Just then, they heard someone's pouring a bottle of liquid. They quickly look at Taehyung who is adding a bottle of soda on his bowl of ice cream. Both of them widens up their eyes and asks Taehyung "what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm adding soda on my ice cream" Taehyung enthusiastically answered
"We mean, why?" Jisoo rephrases
"It tastes really good!" He said while eating his own ingredients
Both of them just nods slowly while understanding it but chooses to let go. They all finish their ice cream and Jeonghan goes straight to the room after saying goodnight to Taehyung while Jisoo is fixing the living room to make his cousin sleep there for awhile.
"Are you sure you are okay here?" Jisoo asks once more before following Jeonghan in the room
"It's okay hyung~ I'm not a picky person" Taehyung answers smilingly while fixing his pillow
"Don't worry, as soon as the condo besides here becomes vacant, we can buy it for you" Jisoo suggests
Taehyung thinks for awhile and asks "you will visit me there right?"
"Of course. It is just near here and I think we should see each other very often in the next 6 months right?" He replies
"Yeah right. Okay I agree~" Jisoo chuckles seeing his cuteness once more. He bids his goodnight and enters the room and sees Jeonghan's back on the side of the bed.
"Are you tired?" Jisoo asks while lying slowly besides him and wrapping his hands around his angel's well curved waist
"Hmmm I think so. Even though we didn't do much today" Jeonghan answers as his eyes are still closed and turns around to bury his head on Jisoo's chest. He suddenly feels Jisoo's heartbeat and cannot help himself to smile hearing it beats abnormally
"Do I always do this to you?" Jisoo blushes across the dark room with only a lamp besides the bed is the only source of light in the room. He smiles and gently push Jeonghan closer to him while he places his head on the latter's shoulder
"I love you... Just in case I didn't say it today" He whispers that made Jeonghan's heart felt warmer with those words
"I love you too" he responded while rubbing slowly Jisoo's chest with his head
"I guess, this is the cheesiest thing we did today" Both of them chuckles
Jeonghan lifts his head to face Jisoo "except from the moments you are teasing me today"
"Hahaha sorry not sorry" he pinch Jisoo's waist that made the latter control his loud "ouch!"
"Yah don't hurt me tonight. Taehyung might hear us" Jisoo said while rubbing the part Jeonghan pinched
"Yah don't make it sound like we are doing crazy stuff for us to interrupt his sleep" Jeonghan raises his eyebrow
"I didn't think of that." Jisoo teasefully said
Jeonghan just rolled his eyes while laughing sarcastically "lets just go to sleep"
Just when he was about to close his eyes and settle his body on the bed, Jisoo starts kissing his hair from his shoulder and slowly moving upwards.
"I'm so addicted to your hair, everytime" Jisoo mumbles and reached the very top of Jeonghan's head.
Jeonghan smiles between those kisses "what if I cut it short, will you still be addicted to it?"
Jisoo aligns his nose on the latter's while gently his cheeks with both of their eyes closed "You will forever be my drug, remember that"
Jeonghan chuckles and opens his eyes seeing his bestfriend's handsome face in front of him "you're being so lovely Dovey again to me"
"I will always be" Jisoo smiles and kiss Jeonghan's nose while he moves to lay down besides the pretty boy.
"Let's go now to sleep" He stated
Jeonghan stares at the ceiling for a moment before moving closer to Jisoo and hug him on his chest
"Goodnight Jisoo, I love you" He closes his eyes as Jisoo hugs him back "Sleep tight sleeping beauty, I love you too"

Seungkwan wanted to sleep already but it seems like Hansol is not yet done bragging Jisoo into their conversation
"Can you please... Just please let me sleep" He annoyingly said
"Come on! I know you wanted to hear this story!" Hansol pouted
Seungkwan lifts his body up and faces Hansol seriously while saying these words faster "the story about when Jisoo held your hands purposely when all of us are drinking in the club and accidentally said I love you to you and you thought he is all so seriously when Honestly he added Jeonghan on the phrase and here you are fighting with me that he didn't say Jeonghan's name when he said that wonderful words to you? Is that the story you keep on bragging to me tonight?"
At the end of the sentence, Seungkwan run out of breath for a moment and breathes for a second but Hansol is still staring at him with no interest at all "but still, he didn't say Jeonghan's name that night"
Seungkwan shouted a loud "argh!" While covering his whole face with the pillow he grabbed on the couch. After shouting his feelings on the pillow, he then stares again to Hansol "okay fine. Atleast he is drunk that time so he is not in his right state of mind when he said that"
Hansol just rolled his eyes and fires his gaze to Seungkwan "you know what? You're just jealous between me and Jisoo hyung"
Seungkwan literally opens his mouth hearing those ridiculous words "first and foremost, I'm not jealous in a situation wherein I'm addicted to a person whom I thought loved me back but in reality he isn't! I'd rather die single than believing your imaginations"
When he was about to stand up and leave the living room, Hansol pulls him to get back to where he is seated "where are you going?"
"I'm trying to get away to a psycho like you" Seungkwan sarcastically said
"I'm not a psycho!" Hansol defended
"You're getting there!" Seungkwan defended back
"Well not yet but still I'm not right now" He rolled his eyes hearing nonsense things again to his friend
"Then when will you become a psycho?" He sulky
"Hmmmm... When someone gets in my way to get him" Hansol seriously said
He sighs heavily and added "even if it's Jeonghan hyung?"
Hansol stands up and looks at him "anyone who gets in my way will not be an exception"
"You're crazy" Seungkwan said while lightly punching his friend on his shoulder
"Crazy in love" Hansol gets back to his position and continue discussing things to his friend. Seungkwan just rolled his eyes and pretends he is listening.
Just then, seungkwan remembers something "you said we will be out tonight together with Jisoo hyung?"
"Nah I postponed it. You look so pissed awhile ago. I'm afraid you will not go with me" Hansol answered
"Sometimes you are being considerate. How thoughtful" Seungkwan sarcastically said
"Don't worry, I'll text him tomorrow morning." Hansol proudly looks at his friend
"Don't you ever think for a second that he might be busy?" He thinks for awhile but decided anyway
"He is not busy if I'm the one who messages him" Seungkwan raised his eyebrow "are you sure?"
"He always have time for me" Hansol smiles crazily
He can't help but sigh and pretends that he was sleepy to death "let's call it a day. Tell me more fantasies tomorrow morning, will you?"
"Oh sure. Don't forget we need to go to the club tomorrow okay?" Seungkwan doesn't response and just exit Hansol's house gaining nothing but Jisoo on his friend's mouth.
On the other hand, Shownu parks Minhyuk's car on his friend's garage when he suddenly receives a call for someone else
*picks up*
Shownu : hello? Who is this?
Seungcheol : can you not remember your old friend?
Shownu : Seungcheol! How come I will forget you S.coups?
Seungcheol : hahaha that's the way Shownu! How are you?
Shownu : I'm good. You?
Seungcheol : yeah me too.
Shownu ; it's been awhile since you last contact me. Is something happened?
Seungcheol : yeah. Me and my fiancé build a restaurant here so I became busy lately
Shownu : oh so that's it.
Seungcheol : how was your job going on?
Shownu : still good though. I'm still enjoying being a secretary here in japan
Seungcheol : world class secretary to be exact
Shownu : haha don't say that.
Seungcheol : hahahaha so when will you comeback here in Korea?
Shownu : Haha S. Coups I'm here in Japan since the last day we met
Seungcheol : I was thinking if something change your mind though
Shownu : negative my friend. I'm staying here for good
Seungcheol : you're really no fun at all since elementary
Shownu : you could say that
Just then Shownu remembers something
Shownu : hmmm scoups
Seungcheol : what's up?
Shownu : your ex, Jeonghan, is he there?
Seungcheol : oh! Yeah I forgot to tell. He was here 2 days ago. I really damn miss him so much
Shownu : hold up my friend, you already got a fiancé with you
Seungcheol : you're right but... I'm still... You know... Whatever. You don't get me anyway.
Shownu : hahaha. Ehem so what are his plan there?
Seungcheol : wait a second, since when you become so interested to Jeonghan?
Shownu : w-what are you talking about?
Seungcheol : lately you've been asking about him million times since the day he left, rather, the day he lived there in Japan
Shownu : ... Ahm I-I'm just curious why are you being so addicted to him
Seungcheol : hmmm... I guess first love never dies
Shownu : oh ha-ha okay. Anyway, why did you call?
Seungcheol : finally you asked that question! We have been talking here like 5 minutes already
Shownu : just answer my question. I'm a busy person you know
Seungcheol : hahaha well, I call you to suggest a proposal
Shownu : what kind of proposal?
Seungcheol : it has been a long time since the last day Seventeen and Monsta X batch met. Let's call it a reunion. What do you think?
Shownu : hmmm why are you suggesting a reunion?
Seungcheol : nothing. It just have been awhile and it's really 10 years I guess.
Shownu : why me then?
Seungcheol : because you are the president
Shownu : its not that I don't agree but they will not remember us totally
Seungcheol : that's the purpose of a reunion. So what do you say?
Shownu : nah, so many things to do here in my job
Seungcheol : suit yourself. If you change your mind, I'm only one call away
Shownu : sure. Thanks for calling by
Seungcheol : no problem. Bye. Take care!
Shownu : you too S.coups! Bye
*end*
Shownu sighs heavily after the phone call and was glad Seungcheol, his very old friend, didn't fully find out why he is asking Jeonghan all of the sudden. If it weren't for Minhyuk who bugs him when he found out that his friend's ex is Minhyuk's drug, then he should be living peacefully by now.
He walks into Minhyuk's living room and finds out the blonde man sitting on his couch looking all so serious.
"Why are you looking so serious right now?" He asked
"Nothing." Minhyuk plainly answered
"Really? Then why your face showed it is Jeonghan?" He teases
"He always have been" Minhyuk sighs while pouring some wine on his glass "when will I lay my hands on his hair?"
"The last time I checked, you said you were not yet ready. Are you ready now?" Shownu asks seriously
Minhyuk thinks for awhile while playing his fingers on his glass of wine "who is the one who called you awhile ago?"
Shownu raised his eyebrows "how did you know someone called me?"
"Nothing can be hidden from me" Minhyuk smirks
"Sometimes you are really scary" He laughs a little and faces him again "it's Jeonghan's ex boyfriend"
"So is Jeonghan with them?" Minhyuk asks right away
"Yeah" he answered back
"That's all?"
"Hey, Seungcheol has been really curious when I started talking about Jeonghan so I need to stop asking about him for awhile. Be patient will you?" He sarcastically said
"Okay... Hyung" Minhyuk looks at Shownu direct to his eyes
"What is it now?"
"I need someone to look at Jeonghan when I still need to figure out how I'm gonna be closer to him" Minhyuk commands
"Isn't that what we are doing right now?" Shownu said
"Not like this. I want every move, every word, and every person gets near to him be known and watch out" Shownu was shocked hearing Minhyuk all so serious saying those words
"Are you sure?"
Minhyuk smiles crazily and raises his glass to make a cheers on the air "let the game begin"
