Hyunjin:“Minho-hyung!!”

He shouted with a surprise, his eyes weren't believing what is seeing in front of him—it was his hyung from 8 months standing here in this playground with him.

Did he go back on time.

Minho chuckled finding Hyunjin's surprise expression very adorable, he hid his smile with the back of his hands as he walked again to his younger friend to hug him.

Hyunjin was so into this moment that he started letting out tears that he was able to feel Minho's warm body against his.

his emotions get the best of him and make him wrap his arms around his hyung's torso.

Minho:“was 8 months a long period for you?”

Hyunjin just nodded his head against Minho's neck, not knowing why he just shut up and didn't answer with his mouth.

He then let go of him and looked at him clearly trying to convince himself that this wasn't a dream and he's seriously holding his hyung right now.

Hyunjin:“why are you back?”

He asked, Minho has been gone for 8 months and he refused to believe that the older came back forever—hyunjin thought maybe he came to see his family and little cats.

Minho:“celebrating my birthday with my family”

The journey in canada was very long and him being a rising star in skateboarding wasn't easy at all—he's grateful to have Leehyuk by his side as his manager or Minho would lose it the first 3 days in that native country.

He had a break until his next national competition but in the meantime, he wanted to spend more time with his family and Hyunjin.

Hyunjin:“and then? You'll leave again?”

Minho nodded hating the sad expression on Hyunjin's face, he wanted to stay but he knew he couldn't when he had a whole career in canada—as much as the sight of Hyunjin saddens him but he needs to go back.

Minho:“yeah...i Have another national ship competition in December and I need to go back to get ready for it so I'll be leaving at the end of this month”

Hyunjin counted the days that he had left before Minho would leave.

Hyunjin:“so you're staying for seven days”

Seven days... It all started since then, he spent the most beautiful seven days with Hyunjin and he would never forget those days that he got to call Hyunjin his.

Minho:“seven days...brings a lot of old memories, which remind me...how's your relationship with jiyun?”

He dropped the topic changing it towards Jiyun not wanting to bother Hyunjin with their short time duration relationship since the younger doesn't like it when he brought it up.

Hyunjin doesn't want to talk about his girlfriend, not when they get in a fight recently but he wants to hide it by smiling at his hyung.

Hyunjin:“it going smoothly okay...you don't have to worry about me”

Minho just nodded his head, feeling a little awkward but soon enough he shrugged that off by saying “sure! Are you hungry? I'm starving” for hyunjin to chuckle and agreed on the idea of a lunch break.

Hyunjin:“yeah...I'm carving for some fried chicken”

Minho:“then let us go grab some, my treat”

The next day, it was Minho's birthday where he threw it at his house and celebrated it with his parents who were still happy to see their son up close after eight months.

Hyunjin knowing that today was Minho's birthday, he brought a little watch when his hyung had invited him to his birthday.

Hyunjin:“happy birthday, hyung”

He wished him a happy birthday and gave his gift to Minho who smiled while receiving that.

Minho:“thank you, Candy”

He opened the box just to find a silver watch inside causing him to chuckle and he wore it immediately liking the color on his honey skin.

His mother then noticed how her son's voice was lower than it usually sounds so she put her hand on top of his shoulder from the left and made Minho look at her.

Ms.Lee:“you don't sound okay... Is something wrong Son?”

She asked with a soft worried tone for Minho to close his eyes and wear a little smile around his lips to slightly nod his head towards her.

Minho:“I'm still tired from my flight”

Ms.Lee caressed her son's back for comfort after he whispered that to her and it was loud for Hyunjin to hear it and stand up from his place.

Hyunjin:“I'll accompany you to your room”

He said, Minho looked up at Hyunjin with a smile which never left his lips then he gave his mom a side hug with a low "goodnight" before going to his bedroom with Hyunjin.

Once they arrived, Minho threw himself on top of his bed and then turned to look at Hyunjin who was taking a seat at the end edge of the bed.

Minho:“come sleep beside me”

He demands that with tapping into the empty spot beside him for Hyunjin to nod and start crawling towards Minho.

Hyunjin was successfully captured by Minho who was wrapping his arms around his skin, keeping him warm.

Hyunjin felt oddly good being in his hyung's embrace but at the same time he can't but be insecure about their friendship.

Hyunjin:“I don't think I should be doing this”

He tried to let go and ran away but Minho was so strong that he held him captive again in his arms but made Hyunjin's bump against his chest for the younger to be able to hear his rapid hearbeats.

Minho:“why? Because you'll feel guilty for Jiyun that you're spending time with me?”

Hyunjin shook his head not caring what his girlfriend would think about this or guilty because he's in his arms instead of hers.

Hyunjin:“it not about Jiyun—it about you...i don't think I can't control myself around you”

Listening to his heartbeats under his ear, Hyunjin couldn't help it but blush on how much he has big effects on Minho and it won't be soon for him to start getting affected as well.

Hyunjin:“do you still love me? even after 8 months?”

He doesn't know why he mentioned that but he was very curious on how Minho sees him as after those months being away from each other.

And Minho didn't even hesitate as he answered right away.

Minho:“I do, and my love just got bigger upon seeing you after a long time”

Hyunjin blushed again feeling Minho's fingers jump around his waist causing little tabs on that area which softens his heart and wanted to get touched by his hyung more.

Hyunjin:“wasn't there other people who were prettier than me who didn't push you away like I did?”

Minho didn't know what was wrong with hyunjin suddenly and how he kept asking him weird questions he never expected him to ask, but it's not like he's complaining and took another time with no hesitation and answered him right away again.

Minho:“you're the prettiest, and how are you going to keep pushing me away when you know very well about my love for you?”

He turned to face hyunjin bringing his hand to hold his chin up and made him look at him—Hyunjin eyes were wide upon the sudden action but it didn't stop him from saying the next sentence.

Hyunjin:“we can't...we're friends, the closest best soulmate friends”

Minho ignored those words as he kept staring at those plumb lips which caused him to rub his thumb against them.

Minho:“I'm ready to cross those boundaries right now just for one kiss”

Their eyes met again after Minho stared at Hyunjin's lips for a quiet time.

Hyunjin:“Minho-hyung, we canno—”

Minho changed their position where he hovered on top of him still caging him by his arms and Hyung underneath had clutched into his shirt fabric around his chest and was already surrendered to him.

Minho starts leaning down—a smirk never leaving his lips and the closest he could get he could see how frustrated yet embarrassed the younger looked right which made him say “just forget those stupid friendship boundaries for a moment and let me enjoy your lips before I leave for another 8 months” and then attacked Hyunjin's lips and both shared a very long passionate kiss with Minho guiding and Hyunjin following, both trying to make this kiss work by their lips movements.
