"I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF IT" Chan's loud voice could be heard through the mansion, the 23 sighed in annoyance as he sat back down. away from the boy he's been stuck with for the last few months. Yang Jeongin.
The younger boy was sat awkwardly at the end of the sofa across from their parents who had very hard, stern expressions etched onto their faces. The 20 year old was just hoping to finally finish this unnecessary meeting so he could go back to his college work.
"This isn't up for discussion Chan, In a couple of months you shall be marrying each other" Chan's father spoke up.
Chan crossed his arms and let out a loud huff. "What makes you think I want to marry at 23?"
"It's not about your age dear, we need to do this for the company, if we don't have a legal bond between the families by the end of the year both our contracts could fall through" Jeongin's mother spoke up.
Jeongin took a large gulp of his water, that was definitely the wrong thing to say, especially at an already angered Chan.
"The-the company? What about my own life, I don't even get to chose who I fall in love with, who I spend the rest of my life with?!"
"You have someone to love, and who will love you back sitting right next to you Chan" His mother argued back before she abruptly stood up.
"I expect you two to at least be together by next month" she walked quickly out of the room. Jeongin could hear the front door opening and closing loudly.
Jeongin's own parents stood up and smiled towards Jeongin before wishing him a goodbye and left just as quickly . The only person who stayed was Chan's father.
"You best not disappoint us." Once again Chan's father stood up but left without saying goodbye.
The pair didn't speak for a few seconds after the front door was slammed shut. Jeongin placed down his glass and went to turn to the brown haired boy but before he could even speak, the older boy had stood up and was walking to their shared bedroom. Looks like Jeongin was taking the sofa again.
Jeongin flinched at the loud slam of Chan angrily closing the bedroom door, yeah he didn't want to be in that room tonight. Walking over to the box filled with a few spare blankets and pillows Jeongin made a makeshift bed on the sofa and for himself comfy.
— 6 hours later——
The younger boy didn't remember ever falling asleep but he definitely wasn't expecting to wake up in his bed. Slowly turned the blonde haired boy first saw Chan's back facing away from him as expected.
Did chan carry him here?
Turning the other way he noticed it was still only 4am so he has plenty of time to sleep more.
Jeongin soon fell asleep again and shifted and shuffled around getting comfortable, unconsciously rolling and wrapping his arm around Chan's waist.
Both males slept contently without noticing of their right contact.
~ time skip~
Jeongin was sitting eating some ramen for lunch whilst Chan was watching something on Netflix. They had woken up tangled together and Chan had pushed Jeongin off when he realised their position and had ultimately ignore Jeongin more than before if that was possible.
Jeongin knew that he needed to sort out the pairs relationship to at least be friendship of some sort. Maybe more, and the only way Jeongin could do that was talking to the eldest.
Finishing up his ramen he placed the bowl in the sink for someone to wash up later and cautiously made his way over to the living room where the eldest was sitting watching music bank or something similar on the TV.
"Uh... Chan Hyung?" Jeongin slowly spoke out and sitting down on the edge of the sofa keeping a distance.
Chan turned his head, raising his eyebrows.
"I know we haven't really started off on the right foot but I hope that we can at least be friends maybe more" Jeongin mumbled out not making eye contact with the other. Jeongin only lifted his head when he heard a loud exhausted sigh leave Chan's mouth.
"Why doesn't anyone let me have a normal life. I don't see why having an arranged marriage will help anything" Chan rolled his eyes and turned back to the TV.
"We can forget about the arranged marriage, why... why don't we start off as friends and see what happens. That way our parents will be happy for us and I'll at least not feel awkward.." Jeongin fiddling with his fingers
"Not awkward?! You know what's the most awkward... I have to deal with you trying to make some relationship out of us when nobody should try to get into a relationship with me. You aren't and won't ever be like them ever and I hate you so much for trying" Chan shouted out.
Chan stood up angrily and sped off back to their bedroom. Great Jeongin had screwed up once again. The maknae could feel his eyes filling with tears as he realised this relationship wasn't going to work. There was no point in trying anymore.
Grabbing a blanket nearby the boy rolled up into a ball and softly cried making sure Chan couldn't here.
I young boy decided to go round to his parents house for a day or two. Knowing Chan would most likely be more frustrated with him after trying to make at least a friendship work for them.
It was only around 1pm and so Jeongin decided to just leave with his wallet and phone, he still had clothes round his parents so if he did spend the night he could his spares.
Jeongin thought about leaving a note but decided against it. It wouldn't be a good idea to remind chan he's still going to have to marry him.
Jeongin made his way out the door but instead of going in the direction of his parents he first made a detour. Taking an alley down the road the maknae made his way to a convenience store.
The bell jingled and Jeongin gave a quick smile to the cashier before turning down the instant ramen aisle. There wasn't anyone else in the store and so the boy took his time looking through all the different flavours. He soon ended up choosing a medium spiced noodle. Jeongin also picked up some soju. Probably not his wisest decision but he was legal and could drink it and right now made trying to forget what chan said would be good.
Jeongin also picked up a few crisps and sweets to snack on.
Placing the food and drink down in the counter the cashier got to work placing everything in a thin plastic bag.
Paying was simple enough and luckily he didn't get looked up and down for looking so young compared to the age on his ID.
Taking his food outside, ramen now bubbling away from the hot water machine, the boy made his way to the deserted play ground.
Despite it being nearly 2pm it was incredibly quiet. Despite the swings looking very tempting, he sat down by the trunk of a tree. Leaning back and eating his hot ramen.
It was 2am when the boy suddenly woke up in the darkness. He must've dozed off after finishing eating at some point but he had no memory of doing so. Standing up and stretching his limbs Jeongin grabbed his rubbish and slowly made his way back to the house.
It was late so hopefully Chan's was asleep and he could sneak in and just get some sleep on the couch. What he wasn't expecting was to be attacked the second he opened the door in a bone crushing hug.
"Innie thank goodness you are okay" Jeongin noticed the person hugging him was Chan.
Why was chan up?
"I- Hyung I can't breathe"
Chan's pulled way from the hug, "why didn't you say where you were, you had me worried. I rang your parents and they told me you weren't there and then I assumed the worst"
As chan ranted on Jeongin noticed how his eyes were slightly red and puffy, glistening slightly. Chan had been crying.
Pulling his Hyung into a hug Innie recited how sorry he was over and over.
It was a pretty stupid thing to do.
"I should be the one saying sorry Innie, I said some awful stuff, a lot isn't true. I'm just scared okay? You won't ever be like them but I can't help but fall for you" chan let out a shaky breathe.
"I'm falling in love with you" Chan spoke in almost a whisper.
Jeongin's breathe hitched. Impossible.
"I- Hyung? There's no falling for me to do. I already love you"
Chan gasped and looked at his crush. Without another second passing Chan pulled him into a soft kiss. Letting out all the stress and worry.
Maybe getting married wouldn't be so bad.
