16 || Truly Magic

"O-Okay, just for you."

Seonghwa spoke unconsciously, not knowing what words actually left his mouth nor he cared. Hongjoong smiled that Seonghwa finally agreed to stay for a bit longer. He looked at Seonghwa's face, their gazes locked and together their gazes dropped at the same thing. Their hands.

More of, Seonghwa's wrist in the grasp of Hongjoong's hand. They kept staring at it until Seonghwa felt Hongjoong's grasp on his wrist loosen. They pulled their hands at the same time. This time Seonghwa, gripped his wrist by his other hand looking at it. He kept caressing the area where Hongjoong's hand was present at, a few seconds ago wanting to probably feel that touch again on it. But this thought or desire was something hw probably was unaware of.

Hongjoong while on the other side had the same reaction as Seonghwa. He held his hand, that was at Seonghwa's wrist a few seconds ago, with his other hand caressing it continuously wanting to probably feel Seonghwa's wrist again. But again, this thought or desire was something he probably was unaware of as well.

It was more weird of them, to have this thought or desire in the first place. Since, this thing happened before too, at the time when Hongjoong was putting the bracelet on Seonghwa's wrist. But maybe that time, they both were so overcome with emotions to feel another one at the same time.

They didn't look up at each other again because of the awkwardness of the moment. But, if they stayed this way for longer then it would just keep growing to much much more awkward and so, Hongjoong decided to break the moment.

"S-Seonghwa, you should rest now! I'll be back I have some work to do!" Hongjoong spoke while getting off the bed hurriedly not looking up at Seonghwa's face. Seonghwa just nodded with a small "hmmm" while he himself, didn't look up at Hongjoong's face either.

He suddenly heard the door closing and that's when he looked up. Hongjoong was gone. He sat on the bed and thought about it again while looking at his wrist. He felt his cheeks heat up remembering the previous scene. He placed his hands on his cheeks. Was he blushing?! 'No, nonsense! That must be because the fever is probably going down.' Seonghwa thought but his heart was probably thinking otherwise.

Hongjoong was currently in his kitchen standing with his back leaned against the counter. He was clutching his heart with fast breaths. He looked at his hand again and felt his cheeks heat up with his heart beating faster. He placed his hands on his cheeks. Was he blushing? 'No! Hongjoong, it can't be because of such a small thing! It's probably because you ran from the room to kitchen. Yeah! The cheeks heating up, panting and fast heartbeat is just because of running! Yeah!' He thought in his mind. But then again, his heart was probably thinking something else.

He decided to distract himself by doing something. And that something was cleaning his house. And so Hongjoong is here cleaning the living room of his house. It's tiring though he knows how to do all this since he always helped his grandma. After like two hours Hongjoong was finished with the cleaning.

He was sweating but he didn't care and just flopped himself on the couch. He closed his eyes and laid there like a dead man with one hand hanging on the side with a duster in its grasp while the other laid on his stomach. Hongjoong stayed that way, with no intention of getting up any soon.

He has to get a shower but he'll wait for a bit before going up. Also, he doesn't want to disturb Seonghwa again. He can't wake him up from his sleep like he did last time. What he wasn't aware of was that Seonghwa was awake in his room.

Seonghwa was ready to go down and see what was Hongjoong doing since he had been in his room all day and it felt like he had taken Hongjoong's room. He didn't want to make Hongjoong feel that. He stepped out of the room and looked around for a second before going towards the stairs and getting down to where he thought Hongjoong must be.

He entered the living room and saw a small figure lying lifeless on the couch. He got panicked and ran straight to where the figure was on the couch. When he reached to the figure he saw that it laid with its eyes closed with one hand hanging from the couch, a duster in its grasp while the other laid on the person's stomach.

He saw Hongjoong's chest rise up and fall slowly and that's when he calmed down. He was probably just asleep. Why did he even panicked in the first place? Forget it. He stood there for a bit looking at Hongjoong's much tired looking face.

His small eyes shut closed while his red lips were parted slightly as if he wanted to say something in his sleep. His hair clung to his forehead due to the sweat. His eyes travelled further to find Hongjoong's neck full of sweat trickling down to wet his clothes.

Hongjoong was really different. One moment he is all bubbly while the other he is a strict person who won't let others' stubborness take him. The next moment he can be a total worried person who doesn't care about anything but others' health. Then, next moment he ends up crying like a baby and then this moment he ended up falling asleep on the couch because of working too much.

He sighed and then went near him silently to not wake him up. He crouched down to his level and then carefully took Hongjoong's hand in his and took the duster from his hand. He kept it aside and then was about to lift him up to take him to his room when Hongjoong woke up with a jerk.

"Huh? W-What happened?" He spoke up dryly looking around not caring that Seonghwa was just in front of him. He felt better after his nap though. After a bit of looking around he finally looked at Seonghwa while rubbing his right eye with his tiny hand like a baby does after waking up.

Seonghwa must say he looked really cute but then refrained himself from doing so. "What are you doing here? When did you wake up?" He asked quietly still a little sleepy. Seonghwa stayed quiet for a few seconds before speaking.

"Ah, I woke a little while ago and when I came down I found you asleep on the couch." Seonghwa said quietly still crouched down near Hongjoong. "Oh, what's the time?" He looked around for his phone and then got up when he saw it on the coffee table. He opened the screen to see it was around 4 already. He slept for almost an hour and he didn't even realize it.

"Sorry Seonghwa if you were awake for too long and I was just sleeping here." Hongjoong immediately turned to Seonghwa and apologised. "No Hongjoong it's alright! You don't need to apologize." Seonghwa said to Hongjoong. It's weird that Hongjoong just apologized for something like this especially then when Seonghwa is the one staying at his place and not him at Seonghwa's.

"Btw, Seonghwa can you wait a little bit. I'll just go and take a shower since I am all sweaty. You can do whatever you want and just make yourself at home." Hongjoong said hoping Seonghwa won't mind and will make himself more comfortable.

"It's alright! Take your time. I don't mind at all and Thanks." Seonghwa said smiling back a bit at Hongjoong. It felt as if he'll be smiling a lot more from now on if he is around Hongjoong. It was as if though Hongjoong just joked back then about doing black magic on him by putting the bracelet on his wrist, it truly felt that Hongjoong did some sort of magic on him.

Not by the bracelet but by his words and his face. Whenever Hongjoong smiled or said something, Seonghwa couldn't help but become lost in it.

But was he aware of this magic himself?
