a few days later, things have changed between jihoon and soonyoung. they have gotten comfortable with each other and they seem to like each other's company more. jihoon hates to admit that he really waits for soonyoung in the old music room at six in the evening, after the boy's orchestral practice. (most of the time, soonyoung would be early or even skip practices just to spend more time with his friend)

one calm night, soonyoung finds himself next to jihoon, who is writing something down on a piece of paper instead of playing the piano. he tries to take peek at the paper but jihoon keeps hiding it. the older between the two swears he could see notes though. is jihoonie composing music? he asks himself.

"when will you let me see what you're writing?" soonyoung whines. obviously, jihoon couldn't hear him well and is too busy minding his own business so soonyoung gently pokes the younger's arm. jihoon looks, seeing the other pouting at him. "is there a problem?" he asks.

soonyoung's eyebrows furrow, giving his friend an annoyed look. "you're not letting me know what you're doing and you're just ignoring me," he slowly speaks with some hand movements as jihoon tries to read his lips (until now, soonyoung still isn't used to it whenever the other would stare at his mouth when he speaks)

"it's a secret," jihoon says with a smile.

soonyoung rolls his eyes and mutters, "why are you being an asshole?" it was fast but jihoon swears he caught the last word soonyoung just said so his two fingers make its way to the latter's mouth to hit it. "what did you just call me?" jihoon asks

soonyoung just shakes his head, "nothing, i'm sorry."

jihoon's expression softens and he apologizes right after, his thumb gliding over soonyoung's light rose tinted lips, making the latter close his eyes. soonyoung doesn't know what got into him to catch the younger's cold hand out of nowhere and gently kiss the back of his palm. his lips stay pressed against jihoon's skin for a little longer before pulling away and opening his eyes again.

jihoon starts to feel the heat in his cheeks as he bites his lower lip to suppress a smile. he then turns his head to the piano to avert his gaze, but soonyoung uses his index finger to make jihoon face him again. this time, the gap between them is much, much smaller.

soonyoung hand rests right below jihoon's ear, his thumb slowly caressing the younger's cheek. jihoon closes his eyes and stays frozen as soonyoung moves in attempt to close the gap. he feels their lips lightly brush against each other, almost like a tease and jihoon swears he just wants to pull soonyoung closer to get over with it. of course, soonyoung knows what the younger wants, but he tilts his head and plants a warm kiss on the boy's cheek instead.

the taller slowly pulls away and jihoon opens his eyes along with a little whimper coming out of his mouth. "you're really fucking rude, aren't you?" he asks and soonyoung just gives him a chuckle in return.
