First Life //Ateez

¦4¦

Seonghwa was sitting along with Yeosang, while the latter tried to teach him how to read. The boy was excited to say the least.

The book had also different pictures, making him gasp every once in a while. It was so colorful.

"All these places exist Sangie?" Seonghwa asked, unable to take his eyes away from the pictures. This was what he was missing by staying there?

"Well, most of them are. I'm telling you Seongie you'll love it"

"I'm sure I will. I can't wait" He smiled brightly at him, and tried to focus on Yeosang.

The rest were watching them silently, having heart eyes just by looking at Seonghwa and his pure expressions. He had countless of questions, and Yeosang was more than happy to answer them. Of course they, too, couldn't help but say their own stories on that matter, making the experience more enjoyable.

And that was how they spent their time. Between sharing kisses, hugs and knowledge, Seonghwa felt so content, as if this was missing from them.

This happened for a long time, the rest leaving and returning with small gifts. Though this wasn't succesful every time.

There were times were they would come back empty handed, not exactly knowing why. Either it was their fault, or the white place wasn't allowing them.

And after all this, they realised that, even the past presents had started to slowly disappear, for some reason they couldn't explain.

But everything changed quicker than expected.

Seonghwa was lazily walking around the place, not having anywhere specific to go, or anything specific to see.

All his presents had disappear, and he didn't have anything to pass his time. He would be occupied by books his lovers managed to get here, but now no.

He still remembered vividly the pictures and stories they were written on the pages. But again, as much as he tried to recall them, it was becoming harder and harder. He didn't put it down though.

He tried to memorise every single one of the items his loved ones brought him. The rest saw his attempts, and though they knew the outcome, they didn't dare discourage him. If anything, they were supportive, helping their sweetheart with every fibre of their being.

Seonghwa wasn't paying any attention, his mind wandering. He tripped and fell, results of his wrong footing.

"Sweetheart? What are you doing on the floor? Come on!" Yunho's voice was heard from above him, and helped him stand up on his feet.

He linked their arms, Yunho draging him somewhere he didn't know.

"Emm, Yunie, where are we going?" He asked smiling, seeing the bright expression on his face. Yunho was glowing from how much he was smiling.

"I I think it's time love. I think, I think you will be able to join us" He spoke softly, trying to grasp his mind around the idea.

Seonghwa didn't talk, simply trying to comprehend what was happening. Was this real? Was he finally going to go with the rest?

His questions were answered when they reached the rest, who were waiting from them in front of a door, with a strange blue light coming out of this.

"Seonghwa!" Mingi screamed and ran, giving the shorter a bear hug.
"You're coming with us! It's finally time!"

"Are.. Are you being serious right now? You're not joking right?"

"Of course not baby! Why would we joke about something as serious as that!"

"Then.. Am I really coming?"

"Yes. Yes! You are! Ahh im so excited!" Wooyoung was laughing, bouncing up and down.

"But we have to hurry. Come" Yunho said, nudging the boys side.

They started moving, going closer and closer to the blue light.

"Wait!"

"What is it!" Jongho asked, seeing the expression on his face.

"We will meet each other right? You promised"

"Of course sweetheart. We promised" They smiled encouragingly at him, reassuring the boy.

Seonghwa smiled hearing that, and with determination, he walked with them through the door. Because he believed them.

They were going to meet each other eventually.
