LXIII: Late night.

[A/N: I'm the king of double updates, you're welcome.]

The situation was nerve-racking, Mingi and Yunho weren't far away, though he didn't know who would arrive first. That was the worst thing. Who was going to be first? It was killing Yeosang.

The weather was cold, as it should be at 3 am in the middle of February. He wondered how he called them both and none got mad at him, not even a little groan or an exhausted shout. He looked up to the sky-which didn't have many stars in view due to the city pollution-and smiled, feeling grateful for having such good friends. He knew that even if his feelings were one-sided the two boys wouldn't run away.

He found himself rocking back and forth on the park's swing, nervous about what he wanted to say; why he called them; what did he plan; what was he going to say; when would they arrive... His mind was even messier than before.

Right when his thoughts were about to consume him, he saw two pair of feet standing in front of him. He was hesitant to look up, knowing who they were, he didn't want to make eye contact. When he finally pulled his head up, Yunho's soft gaze and Mingi's warm look filled all of Yeosang's senses.

He tried to speak, he wanted to say something along the lines of "Oh you both came at the same time," or maybe "Wow, you guys came quick,"
Sadly-or fortunately-what escaped his lips had nothing to do with that.

"I like you,"

He thought the words would spit out clumsily and strongly, but it was the other way around. Maybe because of their caring eyes or maybe because of the cold night the phrase slid out smoothly and with ease. The two boys didn't have the option to ask a "What did you say?" because he said it clear and convincing.

The three looked at each other.

Who did he mean? Does he like Yunho? He likes Mingi right? I knew I had no opportunity with him... He is just my friend, maybe he never liked me after all. It's obvious he liked Yunho, how could he like me anyways?

Mingi's and Yunho's thoughts mixed up with each other, some adjectives to describe how they were feeling were confused, blunted, perplexed, even stupid. Luckily, before any of them talked, Yeosang got up.

"I like you," He pointed at Yunho; one of his best friends, a loyal companion and a generous soul. He didn't let a second pass before he pointed at Mingi, "And I like you," he said looking at him; his company on the hurt-full nights, a great listener and a forgiving friend.

"I don't know how, but I like you both," He lastly said before lowering his head, ashamed of what he did, ashamed of not being able to choose.

"Ain't that funny," Yunho finally spoke, a smirk on his face and shiny eyes. He looked as if he was going to cry but was holding it in. "I was just thinking about how I felt about both of you like 30 minutes ago," he explained smiley.

Yeosang looked up again, if he didn't know Yunho, he would have thought he was hurt, but he was holding happy tears. And about Mingi, he didn't know much of how he behaved in real life, but that silly smile he was holding may mean something, something good.

"I- You like us?" Mingi's deep voice asked, "As if, you like Yunho and I? Both of us? The Jeong Yunho and me?" He was just perplexed, did the boy he liked just said he liked him too? And on top of that, did he also say he liked Yunho? The boy he had been denying his feelings about? The Jeong Yunho whose body line while dancing was so perfect?
Somehow admitting he liked Yeosang made it easier to appreciate Yunho too.

"Y-yes, I'm sorry, I like both of you... I don't-"

"Shhhhh!" Mingi shushed him, "I... I kinda like the both of you too, I think! I guess... I..." Mingo started saying with confidence that disappeared when both their gazes were on him, penetrating his deepest secrets. He felt naked right there.

"So..." Yunho started, "You both, like each other and also like me?" This was not something on Yunho's options, it never crossed his mind. It was either liking Yeosang back of getting rejected by Mingi and his "straight-ness".
At his question both nodded.

" Wait- hold up, WEREN'T YOU STRAIGHT MINGI?" Yunho turned to him, only now realizing the situation they were in.

"Yeah, I mean, no... Like, you know, I thought I was..." He tried to explain.

"Hey, it's okay, we all were straight once," Yeosang laughed, stopping Mingi's hands unaware of what his touch could do. But Mingi felt it, the warm of Yeosang's hand in his and later the warm of another hand too.

"We could try," Yunho spoke, wrapping both their hands on his own. His two hands were big enough to take both Mingi's and Yeosang's. He was the one who had never thought about it like that, what was it called? Polyamory? He didn't care, he just felt it was right when he saw Mingi and Yeosang smile at each other and them turning those smiled to him.

He felt it: Perfect.
