Work Text:
Sunghoon can hear Jake's soft humming from across the room. They're alone because it's their schedule to clean their practice room.
They might be messy at times, but they hate it when their practice room is dirty. Especially that they always lay down whenever they're extremely tired from practicing.
"You're spacing out since we started the practice... What's wrong?"
Sunghoon was surprised when Jake suddenly appeared beside him.
"Oh."
"Oh what? You okay there Hoon?"
Hoon.
Sunghoon can't exactly remember when did Jake started to call him Hoon. But he just found himself loving the said nickname whenever he hears it from Jake.
Or he just loves Jake in general. More than whatever they currently have.
Sunghoon just stares at Jake. He let his thoughts drift again as he examines the older's features.
"You're spacing out."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Sunghoon's breath hitched when Jake moved closer.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
He accidentally slapped Jake's hand.
"Oh.... Sorry."
Jake immediately dropped his hand as he tried to walk away. But Sunghoon pulled him back.
"Hoon?"
Sunghoon continued to walk forward him but Jake continues to move back. Not until he hit the mirror.
"W-What's the matter?"
Screw himself for stuttering. Jake can't even concentrate.
"Yah... Sunghoon-ah. You better talk."
But Sunghoon didn't. He just stared at Jake. The grip on his wrist tightens a bit.
"What is it—"
"Did you know that it's hard for me?"
Sunghoon took a deep breath. He removed his hand on Jake's wrist and just placed it on his sides, trapping Jake.
"Hard for you? Why? Are you struggling? About wh—"
"It's killing me inside..."
"The way you let other's hold you but I can't..."
"I.... I want to cuddle you too...."
"I want you to know that I want you too..."
"Like everyone else."
Jake totally stopped.
"Hoon..."
"No."
"I want you more than anyone else."
Jake lost himself when Sunghoon suddenly leaned on him. His forehead rested on Jake's shoulder.
"I love you."
"I love you not just as a friend Jake."
"I love you and I want you to be mine."
Sunghoon finally looked up and met Jake's eyes.
"Screw our friendship. I want something more."
Jake gulps.
"You love me?"
Sunghoon closed his eyes and nodded. Now that he said it, the confidence that he first had in the beginning vanished.
Not until he felt something soft on his lips. He opened his eyes in an instant. Jake smiled.
"I love you too."
"More than what we currently are."
Sunghoon found himself smiling wide.
"Really?"
Jake looked everywhere else but him.
"Look at me."
"Did you mean it?"
Jake sighs.
"Do you really think I'll tell something that I don't mean?"
"Of course I d-do..."
Sunghoon smiled wider. He moved closer to him.
"Does that mean I can kiss you right now?"
"Park Sunghoon?!"
Sunghoon laughed.
"What? Didn't you kissed me a while ago?"
Jake lightly slapped his cheek.
"I did that to shut you up!"
Sunghoon pouted.
"Then shut me up again."
Jake rolled his eyes.
"Why don't you make me?"
Sunghoon smirked and moved closer. Just a bit more when they heard someone clearing their throat.
"Is that why you both like to clean the room? You're doing something else huh?"
They turned to the door. There he was, Jay, leaning on the door, looking at them.
The two immediately moved away from each other.
"Jay—"
"Nu uh! Don't speak! I saw it!"
Jay walked on the corner and grabbed his jacket.
"I left this a while ago. Figured you guys will get it but... Look at what I saw."
"Don't tell them!"
Jay laughed.
"I don't think it's needed."
"We all know you guys are all over each other anyway."
Jay just shrugs and calmly walked out. Jake and Sunghoon looked at each other and laughed.
"Let's just continue cleaning shall we?"
Jake nodded.
"Maybe after I can give you what you want."
He shouldn't said that. Because throughout the whole time, Sunghoon has been smiling wide.
