i hear you (junhao)

12.

he was currently sitting alone at a table of svtea bawling his eyes out, nearly sobbing in front of strangers

why? when he saw that message his throat started to sting and his face felt hot, then his vision started to get blurry and now there he was, crying

he hated the fact that he was crying for such a stupid thing, like a kid crying when it's lollipop was taken away

it wasn't even a big deal and he felt stupid for being so emotional, he was about to leave when he saw someone running towards him

"oh no oh no oh no" minghao said worriedly

he ran to hug him tightly and let the flower he was holding fall down to the floor, junhui was in shock, minghao hugged him for a few seconds and then with a sad and worried face he pulled apart and started whipping his tears while he continued crying

"i- didn't you say you- weren't gonna come?" he hiccuped

"oh god junhui, i'm so so sorry, please forgive me" he said with the guiltiest face "i was going to prank you and see how you would react and surprise you but it was so stupid and childish and i'm truly sorry junhui, i really am, i don't know why i thought it would be a good idea to do that, i'm so stupid and i won't ever do it again, i get it if you're pissed off and want to leave, it's my fault" he said with the saddest face junhui had ever seen

now he felt even more stupid for worrying minghao, he calmed his breathing down before speaking "i'm sorry minghao, i didn't want to worry you, i guess i just got emotional because i took a lot of time to get ready and impress you, it's stupid i know, but now i ruined my makeup because of my stupid feelings" he said sniffing a little

minghao whipped his face once again with his sleeve "it was a dumb prank, don't blame yourself and don't ever think again something so stupid, your feelings are completely valid and it's really cute you were so excited, in fact, i was excited too and barely slept yesterday, once again, i'm so sorry" he looked down before standing up

he sat on the chair in front of him with a guilty face and then smiled at him, junhui had calmed down by then and also smiled

"so you couldn't sleep thinking about me?" he asked with a tiny smirk on his face

minghao giggled and rolled his eyes playfully "i would've never imagined you as the flirty type" he said

junhui just chuckled and unlocked his phone to see his face and ruined makeup, his expression drastically changed into a panicked one "oh nO, oh my gOd, OH NO" he yelled

minghao instantly got worried "what's the matter? did something happen?" he stood up to check if he was all right

junhui stared dead into his eyes and whispered "i'm so stunning" then started laughing so much he even snorted

minghao sat down feeling his heart skip a beat "serves me right" he said chuckling

"is this for me?" junhui asked while picking up the sunflower that minghao had dropped when he saw him crying

"i totally forgot about it, you scared me so much, and yes, of course it's for you" he said

junhui felt flattered and he lost his words "umm, wow, no one had ever given me a flower before, thanks?" he said nervously

minghao giggled "should we order?"

junhui nodded and called a waiter with his hand, a tall guy with tanned skin that he recognized came over to where they were

minghao seemed shocked to see him "hi mingyu i didn't know you worked here, this is junhui, you guys met at the party" he signed

mingyu bowed politely and junhui did the same "yes, i remember you and your boyfriend, i believe wonwoo is his name" he signed

mingyu chuckled "i remember you too, you're the shirtless guy" he chuckled making the other laugh too

"it's going to be a chamba chai" minghao signed

mingyu wrote it on a little paper he was carrying around and junhui signed "the same for me" making the taller write something on his paper and nod before leaving

junhui didn't know what to say next, what were you supposed to say in your first date with your friend that happened to be your soulmate?

he grabbed his phone and checked his face out, thankfully his mascara was waterproof but his cheeks were still a bit red

"you look fine, don't worry" minghao said

"you look good too" he said sweetly

"so, tell me about you" minghao said while combing his hair backwards and looking at him

"umm, what can i say? you know i like to dance and well that i'm chinese and- wait, there's something that was pretty funny for me when i realized junhui said as he giggled

"what is it?" the younger asked

"that we didn't suspect each other even though we both speak chinese, otherwise we wouldn't had understood each other" he said

"that's actually- woah, i guess we're so used to that the only language that we can speak is chinese that we didn't think of that possibility, even though we're both technically bilingual" minghao agreed

"actually, i've always been curious of what korean sounds like, i thought that if my soulmate was korean, i would've had to learn it or they would've had to learn korean" junhui explained

"it makes it easier that we're both chinese, we can immediately understand each other" the other replied

before junhui could say anything else, mingyu walked towards them with their drinks and left them on the table with a fake smile

"woah, that was fast" the oldest praised him

"thank you" minghao signed

just when he was about to ask if they wanted anything else, junhui turned to minghao and said "if you want anything else just tell me and i'll go get it"

minghao shook his head and told him he was okay, when they turned to mingyu he had the most puzzled and sad face

"you guys can hear each other?" he signed with a fake smile plastered all over his face
