the boy in the cafe

-n i n e-

jeonghan awkwardly shifted in his seat not knowing what to say. he was nervous again and felt uncomfortable.
he looked into seungcheol's familiar eyes. jeonghan suddenly fell in love all over again.

"yeah," jeonghan said, his voice low and timid. "this is so awkward and embarrassing." he then, nervously chuckled.

"it's alright i guess." seungcheol says.

nobody said anything for a few moments but jeonghan surprisingly broke it.

"sorry for staring at you and running away when you asked me. i was just scared, nervous, and obviously embarrassed by what i did.  im not trying to be weird or anything but like.." jeonghan trailed his words trying to stall. he didn't want to say the next words but he had to.

"but like what...?" seungcheol said as he imitated the way jeonghan trailed off his words.

"but like i couldn't help but look at you because you're like kind of  attractive??" jeonghan finally admitted. he finally felt relaxed and felt a huge weight fall off his shoulders.

"-but it doesn't mean anything, i just think you are okay? don't take it the wrong way dude." jeonghan quickly follows.

seungcheol nods his head taking in jeonghan's words.  "thanks i know i am." seungcheol says playfully while trying to show off his defined and chiseled jawline.

"never mind." jeonghan says as he laughs at seungcheol.

"hey!" seungcheol whines as he playfully hits jeonghan on the shoulder.

the two who began so awkward, started to become comfortable with each other. even though seungcheol shook off the thought of jeonghan thinking he was attractive, he couldn't help but feel his heart start to warm.

he didn't really take a good look of jeonghan but since he was in front of him, he couldn't help but take in his features. his short black hair suited him so much and his ivory skin was unbelievable flawless. not a blemish to be seen.

seungcheol admired his eyes. they were doe-like and twinkled under the lightning. seungcheol thought he looked ethereal. there was one thing that caught his eye the most.

it was his lips.

he thought that jeonghan's lips were perfectly shaped. his lips were naturally tinted a baby pink color. he found his lips cute and he didn't even know why.

as jeonghan and seungcheol were talking about random things, soonyoung finally came back with the chicken. jeonghan's eyes immediately lit up and approached the food quickly.

"you don't know how happy i am to see you!!" jeonghan cried in happiness.

"aw thank you, you're so nice." soonyoung says feeling heartfelt.

"im talking about the chicken but ok." jeonghan replies laughing.

"yeah i knew that."

as they finished eating, the three boys walked around the night market a little more to explore the different shops. jeonghan was sweating a bit in his sweater and it started to bother him.

"hey guys, can we stop at a store or something? i feel like im in an oven in my sweater." jeonghan says pointing to his dark grey sweater.

"yeah sure, let's go in here!! im sure there's a t-shirt somewhere." soonyoung points out to a store with really nice clothes that fit the humid night air.

the three went in and jeonghan immediately rushed to the rack of shirts. he started to rummage through the sea of shirts.

jeonghan couldn't pick between a striped shirt or a white shirt with a quote on the front. jeonghan was focusing hard on what to pick until he felt hands cover his eyes.

"guess who?" a voice said in an obvious fake deep voice.

jeonghan knew it was seungcheol playing around.

"seungcheol?"

"we have a winner!!" chuckled seungcheol as he uncovered jeonghan's eyes.

"it was so obvious." jeonghan says as he continues to look at the two shirts.

"it was not!!"

"your deep voice is so fake and noticeable." jeonghan shakes his head and laughs.

"whatever, so are those the shirts you're getting?"  seungcheol asks.

"yeah, which one is better the stripes or the white?"

"hmm, i think you'd look really cute in the stripes."
