Jaehyun didn't quite remember how did he lay his eyes on that intimidate-looking, but actually clingy and sweet boy; He only knew that at some point, he just want Hyunjoon to cling on him and him only, nobody else.

And so his mouth acted faster than his brain one day.

"Hyung!" His cute roommate returned to the dorm one day, with a cheerful look, "I got chosen as one of the dance team members!"

"They're just choosing you because you are cute. Nothing else."

Oops. Jaehyun didn't really mean that. Well, maybe he did, but not so quickly. Still, he planned doing thus anyways, so maybe he didn't quite regret that.

Hyunjoon fell silent.

"Hyung, is that..." He mumbled, "What you really thought? You've been lying to me for 3 years?"

Jaehyun shrugged.

"No. I always think you're talented, but that's not the case for other people." He said. He knew it was partially true, "Others don't care. They either picked extremely talented ones or visually appealing ones."

"Then how do you know I'm not the former?" Hyunjoon challenged.

Jaehyun closed the book he's reading and stared at Hyunjoon, "What did they tell you when you auditioned?"

"They said...They said I am pretty good and that I should wait for further notice."

"Exactly," Jaehyun said, "You know Kevin Moon? That kid one year younger than me but older than you? Everyone knows he's a natural singer."

Hyunjoon nodded silently.

"Sangyeon was one of the members who auditioned him. He said, everyone was prasing Kevin's vocals. The praises lasted for 10 minutes." Jaehyun said, "That's what he gets for being an extremely talented person."

"So...I am just as normal as others...?"

"Maybe," Jaehyun looked at Hyunjoom right in his eyes, "But remember one thing: You're always special in my eyes."

After that incident, Hyunjoon looked gloomier than usual. Jaehyun was glad that it worked.

And he couldn't blame the younger for looking confused when Jaehyun praised him in public for the first time after that, when Hyunjoon completely crushed another schoolmate in a dissing battle.

After that were just more compliments which came from nowhere. Like when Eric was boasting out his skateboarding skills, Jaehyun suddenly said he's proud of Hyunjoon's archery.

Totally doesn't make any sense, but Hyunjoon definitely liked it. Jaehyun could tell from his small smile or occasional blush on his cheeks.

So he wasn't that surprised when Hyunjoon started going back to their shared apartment, telling him everything from "I got no.1 in English!" to "I mastered the death drop today!"

But what surprised Jaehyun is that Hyunjoon started doing other things for him, like finishing the carousel model that Jaehyun was struggling on.

"This is...?"

"You have been dealing with this for some time, haven't you?" Hyunjoon fidgeted with his sleeves, "I thought I'd help you finishing it..."

"You did well," Jaehyun smiled softly at the younger boy.

"Did I?" Hyunjoon brightened up.

"Yes, but you still has to go to school, so you don't need to do so much." Jaehyun said, carressing Hyunjoon's cheeks, "I'd love you no matter what you do."

"You...love me?" Hyunjoon seemed shock, but the hope in his eyes said otherwise. "I - I don't know what to say. I think I love you too, because no one else understands me..."

"Yes, I love you...I'm the only who do." Jaehyun mumbled in a hypnotizing tone, "You don't need anyone else. You don't need others' understanding. Only mine will be enough for you."
