Homeless Rose | Woosan

Twenty one

"Huh?" Wooyoung tried to engage but he was starting to feel uncomfortable all of the sudden.

"You had a fear of heights."

Confusion really showed on Wooyoung.

"This is why you don't feel alright right now."

"I thought...something was wrong with me..."

San shook his head. "Let's go downstairs, that's what we did last time."

Wooyoung quickly nodded. "Please."

On their way to another table where the waiter guided them, Wooyoung kept thinking.

Is this a coincidence?
Fear of heights is pretty common, right?
What if it's not...
It could be really me...

Either way, he knew this perfectly supported his lie.

Once they settled again, San reached to hold the other's hand. "Better?"

Woououng smiled a little and nodded. "A lot..."

San took a long moment to just stare at him.

Study his features.

Remember thier first date.

Feel this feeling again.

The luxury of having him there with him.

"I love you so much..."

Wooyoung started panicking.

What was he supposed to say?
Say it back?
He couldn't!

Thankfully, San saved him the lie and continued.

"It's okay, I know you don't recognize me...You don't have to say anything..." he looked down at his hands. "I just needed to get it out..."

San was a very emotional and sensitive person.

The simple words he said felt so powerful and so strong.

But they weren't meant for him.

That single idea broke his heart.

And made him ask again.

Why can't I have his love?

The rest of their dinner date was quiet.

Both lost in their own thoughts.

San stopped trying to help Wooyoung remember. It seemed to overwhelm him and got them nowhere.

"Let's go home."

-

"Thank you for tonight's date..." as unsuccessful as thier date was, Wooyoung was still grateful.

San smiled. "It's the least I can do for you."
He held his hands as they stood in their hallway.

The little smile on Wooyoung's lips made San's heart flutter like he was falling in love all over again.

"Is it okay...to kiss you?"

"Kiss...?" He gulped then nodded.

He wanted it too.

The only thing making him hesitate was that he felt it wasn't supposed to be him.

After receiving a nod, San slowly leaned in and connected their lips in the most gentle and sweet way.

It made Wooyoung melt and hold onto San's shoulders for support as he kissed him back.

They both wished it would last forever.

But it didn't.

They had to pull back eventually.

"Wooyoung..."

San felt him shake in his arms. "Breathe..." he stroked his cheek.

"Wh-Why...does this happen to me when we kiss...is it...is it...my memory?"

San stayed quiet for a long moment, putting the other in doubt.

"Wooyoung...you can't lie to me anymore..."
