To make the chapter better, I recommend listening to "Different" by WOODZ, it's the song that it talks about in the back *clicks tongue and makes hand guns*

Yuto sat in his room, mind blank. Akari was busy doing her homework, so he couldn't use her as a distraction. He was strumming the strings of his old guitar, humming to a tune. He was telling himself he was so stupid for thinking the other might have liked him. He rolled his eyes, knowing that this was it for him. He wouldn't even try to talk to him about it.

He started to sing an old song his mother had sang to him when he was a kid. He smiled softly, wishing she was here with him. Maybe then he'd be able to forget everything. He sighed, slouching against the wall more. He strummed it a few more times, before a voice startled him. "You shouldn't slouch while playing."

His head snapped up, seeing the tall boy leaning against his door frame. He rolled his eyes, turning back to the floor. "What do you want?" the other sighed.

"Guess i deserve that." he scoffed, his sweater getting in the way of his playing. He stopped, chewing on his bottom lip.

"Why are you here?" the taller moved, taking the spot next to him.

"Because i'm an idiot." he snorted.

"You're just now realizing it?" Wooseok gasped.

"Wow, i'm hurt." he couldn't help the small laugh that escaped his lips. He didn't say anything after that, instead started to play some music off his phone. The soft beat filled the room, cutting at least half of the tension. They were quiet for a while, until wooseok turned to him.

"Yuto-" he shook his head.

"Don't." the taller sighed, grabbing his legs. He opened his mouth to protest, but the other didn't give him a chance. He faced him towards him, holding onto his shoulders. They were now looking at each other, the soft glow of the lamp highlighting his features. Yuto cursed himself for loving the small stars in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." he shook his head again. "Yes, i am. Whatever happened between me and Anne wasn't-" Yuto shook his head, standing up.

"Don't explain it to me. I don't care what you do in your spare time." Wooseok sighed, standing up also.

"Okay, so then why are you so mad?" Yuto rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Who said i was?" Wooseok gave him a deadpan look.

"No one has to say it, it's all over your face." Yuto scoffed, looking away from him.

"Wooseok, i don't want to talk to you right now." the taller shrugged.

"So then let's not talk." he rolled his eyes. He sat down on the bed, watching as he walked to him. He crouched down, looking up at him. Yuto looked away, not wanting to get lost in his eyes. After a while, his eyes found their way back to him, seeing him still staring.

"What?" he shook his head, a sort of softness to him. They stared at each other for a while, the music softly playing in the back. It was like Yuto couldn't look away. After a moment, he went to turn, but Wooseok caught his face between his hands. He raised his brow, wondering what was going on. "Wooseok-"

He was cut off by the taller crashing their lips together. Yuto's eyes widened, and he quickly pushed him away. Wooseok looked down at him, scanning his face. Yuto just stared, not knowing what was going on. Was he dreaming? Did he fall asleep on the couch after school and still hasn't woken up?

He noticed the sad look on the others face. "Ugh...i'm-i should-" Yuto snapped out of his daze, knowing if it was a dream, he was going to make the most of it. He cupped the back of his neck, pulling him back down. Wooseok was taken off guard, but quickly recovered.

This kiss was different from the last. The first was quick and tasted of alcohol. This one was slow and soft and Yuto swore he could die happily. The song seemed to have timed the moment perfectly, the beat dropping and a soft melody filled the room. His heart was pounding in his ears, and he prayed the other couldn't hear it.

Wooseok pulled away, leaning his forehead against his. Yuto's eyes were still closed, not wanting the moment to end. He still had that fear that he'd open his eyes and he wouldn't be there. That he'd look up and see the white ceiling of the room.

But when he finally did, there was no white ceiling. There were two dark eyes filled with stars staring back at him. Wooseok had a small smile on his face, hands holding onto his waist. "I've been wanting to do that since the first time." Yuto furrowed his brows.

"Wait, what?" Wooseok laughed, scratching the back of his neck.

"At the party." Yuto stared at him.

"You remembered that?" he nodded. Yuto scoffed, smacking his shoulder. "What the hell? I thought you didn't!" he laughed, looking at him again. The look in his eyes was able to make Yuto's heart race.

"I remembered it after we had watched that show after. I was going to ask you but then all the stuff with Akari happened, and it just left my mind." Yuto rolled his eyes, looking around the room. It was quiet again, the atmosphere somewhat comfortable. "Yuto?" he raised his brow, looking back at him.

"Yea?" he sighed, moving to sit on the bed. He grabbed his hand, holding it between his own.

"I like you." he was almost sure his heart was going to beat out of his chest. He looked at him, eyebrows raised.

"You do?" he nodded. Yuto smiled down at their hands, intertwining their fingers. Wooseok looked at him with furrowed brows. "I do too." Wooseok smiled at him.

"Looks like we lost that game, huh?" Yuto rolled his eyes, a small laugh leaving his lips.

"We stopped that game a long time ago." Wooseok looked at him. They were quiet again, not wanting to ruin it.

"So does that mean you'll want to be my boyfriend?" Yuto blushed slightly, rolling his eyes.

"I thought you didn't date?" Wooseok laughed, shrugging.

"That was before i met you." he blushed deeper, shoving his shoulder.

"When did you get so smooth?" Wooseok laughed.

"Oh, this isn't even me trying to be smooth." Yuto chuckled, looking back up at him. His smile faded slightly.

"What about Anne?" Wooseok sighed, shaking his head.

"There's nothing going on. She came up to me and was saying a bunch of shit." Yuto nodded, looking back down. Wooseok tightened his grip on his hand, making him look up. "Is that a yes or a no?" Yuto rolled his eyes, pushing him with his shoulder.

"I don't know, are you planning on taking me out?" Wooseok laughed.

"We could go anywhere you want to go." he smiled, looking at him again. The light of the room was making him practically glow. He sighed, trying to hold back the big smile that wanted to take over his face.

"Let's go look at the stars." Wooseok smiled, nodding his head. He stood up, holding his hand out for him. Yuto raised his brow, looking at him weirdly. "Right now?" he shrugged.

"Unless you want to wait until we go on that trip." Yuto chuckled. He had forgotten about that.

"Where are we going?" He smiled, pulling him up. He wrapped his arms around him, pulling him to his chest. Yuto laughed, breathing in his scent.

"Some mountain place. They say it's really pretty out there." Yuto nodded, letting him rock them back and forth.

"Okay, we can wait until then." Wooseok nodded, smiling softly
