Chap19
Half Moon (Before Cross road)Taecyeon was about to board the train in the direction of Ilsan when the Junho phone rang.
"What's going on? But calm down Wooyoung hyung. No, we have not seen Minjun hyung"
Chansung and Taecyeon looked at each other as Junho handed the phone to Taec.
"What happened?"
Taecyeon asked immediately
"I don't know, he went to eat with Seulong hyung when he ran out.... he has not been back for a while"
Taecyeon dropped the phone and ran out of the station aimlessly, he could only think of Minjun.
The rain started even harder and Taecyeon continued to run through the streets, even as the sky grew darker.
"Minjun"
He screamed in an alley, his face drenched with tears and raindrops when he saw a small figure walking in the rain in his direction.
"You forgot what I told you."
Said a raspy but strong voice
An old woman walked towards him in the rain quite naturally
"You..."
"You at least remember me"
The old woman complained
"Do you know where he is?"
Taecyeon asked hopefully
"I know, but I can't tell you. It goes against the rules Do you remember my words?"
Taecyeon thought for a moment.
"Look with the heart"
"But how are you supposed to-"
"Why don't you close the eyes of your brain and open your heart?"
Taecyeon didn't understand very well but still closed his eyes and exhaled hard. Suddenly he could feel Minjun, a weak feeling that grew stronger, until he could see something.
Without realizing the absence of the old woman ran without thinking of anything else.
He arrived at his house completely soaked and hurried to enter, looked everywhere and in the rooms until he reached his which was also empty. However, there was a detail, in front of the closet; A pair of wet shoes.
Taecyeon stepped carefully and put his hand on one of the doors taking a deep breath before opening and seeing Minjun there, in the small, seemingly asleep alcove. He smiled.
Junho was at Wooyoung and Nichkhun's house waiting for the news from Taecyeon.
"Did Seulong tell you why Minjun left?"
Nichkhun asked but Wooyoung couldn't answer, Seulong had just called asking if Minjun had already returned and asked to tell him how sorry he was.
"Calm Wooyoung hyung, I'm sure Taec hyung will find him soon."
Junho said rubbing Woo's shoulder when the Chansung phone started ringing.
"Hyung Did you find him?"
Chansung asked before nodding a couple of times and hanging up.
"What happened?"
Asked the other three at the same time and Chansung smiled
"Hyung found him, now they are in his house."
Wooyoung sighed in relief and Nichkhun hugged him.
"I told you hyung would find it."
Junho celebrated a little disappointed because he had not been able to go to his homeland.
"Don't worry, we can go tomorrow"
Chansung whispered knowing enough to his boyfriend to know her feelings.
------
Minjun opened his eyes when he felt the movement. He looked up slightly and saw Taecyeon, who was carrying him in his arms.
"You wake up"
Taecyeon stopped and smiled at him.
"How did I get here?"
Minjun looked around, a little tired.
"I don't know."
Taecyeon said with an intermediate chuckle. Minjun closed his eyes and remembered the old woman in the street and then, everything seemed blurry.
"Where we are?"
Minjun opened his tired eyes again.
"In my house"
Minjun's eyes widened as he was left in bed.
"How did I get here?"
He wondered aloud but out loud
"I would like to know"
Taecyeon put another towel on Minjun's damp body, which he exhaled as he felt the cold clothes clinging to his skin.
"I'm sorry, I think you should change. You're completely wet"
Taecyeon's cheeks were deep red, he didn't want Minjun to believe anything bad about him.
"I think so"
Minjun whispered rubbing his cheeks to hide his blush.
"Mm? Oh, well... I think there's some Junho clothing here. You're a bit of your size."
Taecyeon began to look in the drawers hurriedly and Minjun stood up. He had at least four towels covering his body like a caterpillar waiting to become a butterfly, his messy hair falling on her forehead a little curly and still damp.
"Here it's. Feel free to use it, I don't think it will bother Junho"
Taecyeon put his clothes in front of Minjun and stood in front of him, they looked at each other until he realized that he had to leave Minjun alone so that he could change.
"I'm sorry, I... I'll wait outside."
He hurried out of the room and closed the door behind him
Minjun looked at the clothes, it was not bad to be a pajama because it was a pajama, right? He took off his wet clothes and glimpsed his reflection in the mirror, there were a couple of purple marks that Seulong had left earlier. He shuddered at the memory and began to dress. He thought of how he came here, there were some images in his memory, images he couldn't easily decipher but that he was sure had to do with his spirit.
"Are you ready?"
Taecyeon asked hating himself for being impatient and annoying but made himself at the idea that he was worried.
"Yes"
Minjun opened the door with the towels hanging on his arm.
"Let this be dried"
He whispered a little nervous as he realized Taecyeon's gaze.
"Mm? Ah yes, I will."
He quickly took the wet clothes and put them in the washing machine
"The dryer will do the job"
He was still obviously nervous and Minjun laughed.
"I know"
He said suddenly and Taecyeon stopped
"What?"
"All, well, almost everything"
Minjun was ashamed, of course he didn't know everything, there were still a couple of things that needed to be explained.
"I know that you know me and that I know you, but not in this way, you know what I mean... anyway... that's what I know"
Minjun's voice was shaking, his hands were sweating and his heart beat like a wild horse. Taecyeon paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and looked at Minjun.
"I should call Seulong, too, to let him know you're here."
Taecyeon wanted to evade but Minjun quickly stopped him by the arm
"No... don't call him"
The eyes of the tall one went straight to Minjun, his eyes like those of a frightened gazelle and his trembling hands on his wrist.
"What happened?"
He asked a little annoyed just to think that Seulong could have done something with Minjun
"Nothing, it's in the past. Let's not talk about it"
Minjun's hand moved away from Taecyeon so that he could hug him comfortably, the breathing in Taecyeon's lungs froze.
"Why did you not tell me?"
Minjun asked the chest of Taecyeon
"I didn't want to scare you"
Taecyeon still responded without responding to the hug.
"That's why you said all that, is not it? It was not your heart that spoke, was it?"
Minjun asked impatiently to hear the answer but Taecyeon grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him away.
"It's true Minjun, but no matter how much I lie, I can't be with you because I can't guarantee your well-being"
Minjun looked into the eyes of Taecyeon who waited for the smallest to leave however to his surprise Minjun smiled returning to the embrace.
"It doesn't matter, because without you I think it would be the same as being asleep"
Those words echoed in Taecyeon, his heart began to beat rapidly again. Minjun looked up, into the face of the man he held, couldn't contain himself and stood on tiptoe reaching slightly the lips of others.
Taecyeon was frozen, had been fast but all the feelings had been transmitted correctly. He looked up at the red face in front of him and smiled as he ran his hands up Minjun's arms, them lightly until he reached the neck and tilted his small face upward with his thumbs.
It was a matter of seconds before Taecyeon was kissing Minjun's lips in peace, his lips in a way that made Minjun shudder as he hugged the waist of the taller one.
They went away to recover the lost air but it was only a short second before Minjun hugged Taecyeon's neck and pulled him to his face to meet in another kiss.
"Mhh"
Minjun complained when Taecyeon's tongue made its special appearance and entered his hot cavern.
"I love you Minjun"
Taecyeon whispered in a brief space and Minjun nodded.
"Let me be selfish this time, please."
Minjun hugged Taecyeon's chest again, wanted to remember this scent and stay that way forever.
"Then let's be selfish."
Taecyeon tightened his embrace by kissing the crown of Minjun's head.
