"What are we?"

 
 

Hyunjin looked up from the book he was reading, caught off-guard by the sudden question from Jisung.

 
 

"Humans." Pleased with the answer he gave, Hyunjin continued to flip a page in his book.

 
 

"No, like what are we?"

 
 

Hyunjin now laid his book to the side. He tilted his head. "Korean?"

 
 

Annoyed by the other, Jisung sighed and sacked into the chair he was sitting in. Hyunjin let out a giggle at this adorable action.

 
 

"It's just-" Jisung started. "We have been doing... things... for days and-"

 
 

"Simple." Hyunjin then interrupted him. "Ever heard of friends with benefits?"

 
 

Jisung stared at the older boy, his eyebrows furrowed. Of course he has heard of that term, he wasn't stupid.

What Hyunjin said was exactly what he expected. He laughed it off, trying to accept it. The answer Hyunjin gave was just the truth. Jisung couldn't deny it, yet it bugged him more than he thought it would.
 
 
 

And that wasn't everything he worried about, no, there was something else. It was something he shouldn't hide from the other, something that keeps him from sleeping at night. It was serious, but Jisung couldn't bring himself to tell Hyunjin. That didn't mean he didn't plan on doing so in the future though.

 
 

Jisung took a big and deep breath before Hyunjin stood up from the bed with a sigh.

 
 

"Wanna go and grab some coffee?"

 
 

A simple tactic from Hyunjin's side. It was so easy to see through that boy's facade. Jisung understood, but he didn't want to mention it.

 
 

It was like the famous saying with the elephant in the room.

 
 

The younger wanted nothing more right now than to tell him about his observations, maybe even about the thoughts that laid heavy on his heart.

 
 

He wanted to spend the time with Hyunjin at home alone, laughing about funny things that have happened to them in the past. He wanted to cuddle with him under a blanket, a warm tea standing on the table while they were watching their favorite movies.
