The Look of Love

The Stories of Jisoo & Junghan

When did it start? Jisoo didn’t even know but it was now the habit that he could not stop. Staring at Junghan became his favorite habit, the way this beautiful boy talked, when his red lips moved creating soft and sweet voice just like music to his ears. How he touched his long sleek hair with lean fingers and lovely smile that lighted up the whole room, the way his lithe body waved through the song they were practicing, these little things with Junghan was so captivating until the American boy could not move his eyes away.

Late at night while everyone was practicing their collaboration song, Jisoo just sat in the corner of practice room with his guitar singing along with his team member but his focus on the song was all abandon when the beautiful boy walked into the room, his sharp eyes started to follow his best friend who were walking around with an umbrella. The King’s man concept which Soonyoung came up last week transformed an innocent long hair boy into a seductive image forcing Jisoo not to look away.

The moment didn't last long as someone starts calling his name repeatedly until he had to take his eyes off from his beautiful angel.

"Jisoo~~~hyung"                       

"What's up Seungkwan" Jeju boy smiled brightly at the older as if he had been noticing something interesting.

"What have you been staring at? ^^" The straight forward question seemed genuine but Seungkwan's grin saying the opposite. Jisoo smiled back softly knowing that this boy would not go away if he didn't get the answer he wanted. Minghao and Hansol also turned their attentions toward the vocalist voice with slight interests.

"You already know….."

"Nope I don't" Jisoo let out small sigh before pointing at the long hair boy in front of the mirror. Hansol had smirk on his face but Minghao still had no clue about it.

"Ah..." Seungkwan had been observing this for quite sometimes already….well since the very first day that Junghan hyung joined Seventeen, it was surprising to everyone that a quiet boy from US was the first one who approached the new comer. Jisoo didn’t really show his interest toward anyone especially except this pretty boy even Hansol who used to be close to this California boy noticed the differences. Jisoo had always been quiet and soft spoken but since Junghan arrived, the hidden side of him starting to show.

"Why don't you tell Junghan hyung that you like him??"

"No I can't"

"But why? You want him to notice himself?"

"Maybe"

"haha that's not gonna happen with Junghan hyung" Suddenly Jisoo had confused look on his face from the younger boy comment. Hansol nodded agreeing to what the vocalist just said.

"Hmm..."

"You don't know how many people are attracted to the pretty hyung of yours, do you?? Since Junghan hyung has this long hair...I have to admit that he look like a very beautiful girl!" The older boy rolled his eyes with the comment he already knew, he had been attracted to the smiley boy long before that but never had courage to say it out loud.

"Besides hyung is so slow...he wouldn't notice you liking him" Seungkwan turned to look at Junghan who had been busy practicing new dance move with Soonyoung. The beautiful face was reddening by heat, long brown hair was now tied up to ponytail showing off neckline. His eyebrows almost knitted together from frustration but his slim legs were still moving nonstop.

"Stop staring hyung and confess to him instead! Or it will make you look like a creep!"

"Great advice by the way...I will consider" Had a thought about it again after looking at Junghan and Soonyoung who had been so touchy to the older hyung lately during dance practice made Jisoo wanted to walk and separated them right then. Pushing his negative thoughts aside, the American boy smiled to himself before stood up leaving Seungkwan and the two younger boys’ dumbed fold.

It was already very early in the morning when they finished practice their new songs, some of them already went home. Junghan decided to leave right after so he walked and grabbed his stuff from another room. When he stepped out, his closest friend had already been waiting outside Pledis building ready to walk him home.

"Why don't you go home with others earlier?" sweet voice asked worriedly

"I prefer walking home with you" Junghan smiled tenderly at his friend who understood him most, before the two started walking to their dorm under the dark sky.

“You don’t have to wait this long tomorrow, you will be tired” The long hair boy said again to make sure his friend went home and rest.

“Nah….I like walking home with you better” Jisoo answered with his soft voice and gentle smile. It made the smaller boy wondering why his friend could be this nice and patience with him.

Jisoo had been looking at Junghan face along the way home while talking, the pretty boy complained about his day even though they had been practicing in the same room for more than 10 hours straight, and Jisoo had followed the smaller boy moves everywhere anyway. Still the gentle boy could not stop admiring this angelic face next to him. Smile curl on his lips without him knowing until Junghan stopped walking.

"Jisoo...are you still with me?" Small hand nudged his friend's right arm to make sure he was listening.

"Yes…"

"Then what did I say just now??" Big brown eyes stared back at the taller boy without hesitation requesting for the real answer.

"Sorry I was distracted...what did you say?"

"What distract you lately; it is just the two of us walking?"

"mm..you?" Soft voice answered from his thought.

"Me? What have I done to distract you? From what I know, I didn't do anything" Small lips opened to laugh a little with what he just said but his friend's eyes were so focus on his face until it made him blush unknowingly. Even though, there were only lamps in front of closing shops and roadside, he could not avoid seeing a pair of eyes on him.

“You haven’t done anything” His dark brown eyes still looked at Junghan face with intense expression. His legs stepped forward until it was just an inch far.

“Jisoo…w..what’s wrong?” Sweet voice stuttered a bit because of the closeness. He felt his cheek starting to heat up with no reason at all.

“Nothing is wrong; I just like looking at you” The American boy answered with small smile, a deep set of eyes was searching for something, something more but he was too afraid to say it out loud. Jisoo just shrugged with his thought and stepped aside leaving the pretty boy confused, Junghan tried to ask again but his friend totally avoided him by changing topics until they reached home.

A few days later in practice room, Jisoo was still being himself and took time admiring his close friend’s adorable gestures. Junghan had his hair down practicing his sensual dance move, other members were also watching but the pretty boy only noticed a pair of dark brown eyes from the corner of the room. The long hair boy could not concentrate this time around, not knowing why he suddenly felt warm by someone watching his every moves….not someone but Jisoo, his closest friend. He should get used to already, fans always stared at him, trainers did too but this felt different.

“If you are gonna stare at him like that, you’d better just walk there and kiss him” Hansol said jokingly, the half Korean boy always spoke with Jisoo in English so no one paid attention to their conversation.

“You think so?”

“Oh yeah, you are definitely making him blush” The rapper pointed that out, Jisoo then looked at Junghan again with a smile and that caused the pretty boy to drop his umbrella by mistake.

“See???” Hansol laughed out so loud that everyone stopped to look at him even Junghan, till the half Korean boy had to nod a couple times to apologize for interrupting their practice.

“Yes but it isn’t easy telling him how I feel”

“Like I said, just walk there and kiss him” The comment made the American boy sighed softly.

“He might slap me”

“might…you’ll never know until you try” Hansol said it in higher tone teasing the older boy, Jisoo didn’t take it seriously even though he wanted to kiss Junghan badly right now but he knew it would freak his friend out for sure.

Later on that night, the gentle boy was waiting for his friend to finish the practice just like every day. Jisoo had been waiting outside the building so he could walk home with his crush. The long hair boy ran down stairs to meet with the same pair of deep brown eyes staring back at him.

“You are waiting for me again” Slender legs stepped down a few more then stopped next to his friend.

“It’s late and I don’t want you to walk home yourself”

“I’m not a girl Jisoo”

“Well you look like one, pretty one too” The taller boy said it out naturally, the comment made Junghan turned away shyly. He did not understand what turned his quiet friend into a cheesy type.

“Fine….shall we go now?” The two walked back to their dorm which was not far away. The walk was so quiet because neither of them started the conversation, just walked and held hands like nothing happened a few days ago but then the smaller boy stopped walking right before they reached their place.

“Jisoo…are there a reason why you keep staring at me? Have you been doing that for so long that I didn’t notice?” Junghan asked with his soft voice.

“Since the first day I met you…I think” The straight forward answer made the beautiful boy stunned.

“Oh…” Only word that could come out from Junghan right now, he was shocked and speechless.

"You are just too beautiful, if I’ve never told you that" Clear brown orbs were wide open from the statement, before reacted to his close friend's word, he suddenly felt a warm hand touching his cheek...the touch so soft, so gentle like touching fragile glass that might be broken if the touch was too hard.

"I guess I will take an advice from Seungkwan and tell you that I like you although all I want to do right now is kissing you" Junghan stared back at Jisoo in disbelief, his brain could not process anything but the touch on his skin that made his body hot like fire. The beautiful boy never noticed his friend's feeling toward him before, maybe he did but he thought it was just Jisoo being friendly.

Flashback started to come through Junghan bits by bits, and it made the smaller boy realized something. The way his closest friend looked at him, touched him, talked to him, or treated him. It was definitely more than normal friends would do for each other.

"I mean if you don't like me the way I do then we can just be friends" the taller boy pulled his hand back after finish his words, he looked hurt and disappointed because there was no respond whatsoever from the pretty boy he fell for. When the gentle boy stepped away, Junghan felt a pang in his chest which he was not used to this kind of feeling at all. He never liked anyone romantically before in his life how was he supposed to know what to do.

"What if..." Junghan finally found his voice to speak, his brown eyes opened to look at Jisoo. Slender hands reached out touching his friend’s arm lightly.

"....."

"What if I like you too" The long hair boy said it out like a whisper before averting his gaze at the concrete floor, afraid that his answer might not come out right but just those words seemed loud and clear to the taller boy. This made Jisoo smile in relief like he could breathe fresh air again.

"So you like me too?" The shy boy just nodded to his friend's foxy grin, Junghan rarely saw Jisoo grin or smirk but this time the smile on his handsome face looked like there was something behind it.

The angelic-face boy didn't even get to reply properly, his chin was tilted up by warm hand before hot lips placing full on his lips. Junghan stood still not knowing how to react to the situation, his big eyes still opened wide in shock. Both hands holding wallet just gave out all their energy before dropping all stuffs on the floor.

The American boy let out chuckle to the sweet face, his lips remained close to Junghan's sweet luscious lips before pressing gently again...this time the long hair beauty closed his eyes accepting new feeling that he just experienced. Soft lips press closely deepened the kiss wanting more from the pretty boy in front of him. But too bad that they cannot stay like that for long as people might see and it won't be good, besides they both need rest badly so Jisoo bend down picking up leather wallet on the floor before grabbing soft hand into his warm one then started walking toward the dorm’s front door. It was not like they never held hands or hugged each other but today’s confession made thing completely different for both of them.

"Let's go home before others think I'm kidnapping you"

The two never let go of each other’s hand until reaching the dorm, they were surprised to be greeted by Seungkwan smiling face at the front door.  

“Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping by now” Junghan asked but Jeju boy smiled and shaked his head furiously. His eyes looked at the older boys face investigating.

“So…you two are together now?” The beautiful boy glanced at his just-now boyfriend.

“Yes we are, thanks for advice” Seungkwan smiled broadly that all his eyes were closing, the vocalist was happy to see hyungs together after so long. Long arm wrapped around slim waist pulling Junghan closer, the smaller boy was just too tired to even resist now so he just let it be.

“Time for bed!” It was Seungcheol loud voice from upstairs, more like a command than a request making all three of them jumped and rushed back in their dorm without protesting. Jisoo smiled to himself once again watching the pretty boy slept next to his bed, his eyes started closing peacefully thinking this would be the best year to come for both of them.
