ƒοя οиϲє ιи нιѕ ℓιƒє, Jihoon had actually decided to go to school early. He came to school an hour earlier and decided to spend his remaining time at the music room, sitting in front of the piano as always.
He laid out the papers that he had written his notes a long time ago and rested his fingers over the smooth keys of the piano before him.
He took in a breath and exhaled quietly before he started to play a melody he had created.
It was soft.
It was slow.
It was beautiful.
He himself is impressed of his work and felt proud of it for once. He usually gets frustrated to himself when he never gets the tune that's playing in his head all the time and moments like this is very rare.
He actually felt calm and contented. A small smile plastered permanently on his face as his fingers glided through the keys in the most satisfying way and he felt himself humming along the music.
When his song finally ended a few minutes later, he was surprised when he heard someone clapping behind him and he twisted his body in a heartbeat to see Soonyoung leaning beside the door, a somewhat proud smile flaunting and Jihoon felt himself blush.
"Hey," Soonyoung called out and Jihoon started fiddling his thumbs together, feeling shy. "Uh, hey..."
It was awkward. He knew that. He wanted to just smash his head into the piano in front of him in frustration because why was he being stiff right now of all times? He's only talking to his boyfriend!
Oh, no... he totally forgot. He and Soonyoung are dating now. They're boyfriends now.
Jihoon panicked.
He knows little to none about this dating stuffs. How was he going to impress Soonyoung when he's being like this? An awkward piece of potato?
He didn't notice it, but he heard something being placed beside him and he looked up to see Soonyoung sitting on the chair that he had pulled from a corner.
Soonyoung then looked up at him and immediately blushed himself. Jihoon found it cute because Soonyoung was being out of character right now. Jihoon found himself smiling to the older.
Soonyoung scratched his nape uneasily and pursed his lips.
"So, uh... that music..." Soonyoung gestured to the piano and Jihoon nodded, the smile growing on his lips. Soonyoung scrunched his nose in thought and Jihoon giggled as the older clenched and unclenced his hands together.
"It's beautiful!" Jihoon grinned as he let out a soft chuckle, looking over at his gauche boyfriend.
"You are very awkward."
"I can't help it! It still doesn't sink in to me that we're actually dating now! I've never felt this way before..." Soonyoung's voice was lowering and lowering each word he said and Jihoon found himself blushing as well, biting his lip in embarrassment.
"Don't do that."
Jihoon looked at him in perplexity. "Do what?"
"Biting your lip. It's so irresistable I want to kiss you right now."
"Then do it." Soonyoung abruptly looked at him, surprised by the response he received. "What?"
"Kiss me." Soonyoung pursed his lips harder but pulled his chair closer, nevertheless. He gingerly slid his hand to cup Jihoon's right cheek and Jihoon shivered from the feeling, closing his eyes momentarily.
Soonyoung inched closer to the midget and hesitantly pressed his lips onto the other's. Jihoon felt his whole body buzz to life as he felt those lips back on his own again and he couldn't stop himself from kissing his soulmate back with tenderness.
For a few minutes, they stayed in that position. Lips locking and hands roaming to whatever they could reach. It was when their lungs begged for air that they decided to pull away and gasped loudly, looking into each other's eyes lovingly.
"Hey, Ji..."
"Hmm?"
"We're gonna be late for class."
"Forget about it. It's only one class."
"Are you actually telling me to ditch our first period?"
"You don't want to?"
Soonyoung chuckled deep down his throat and Jihoon shuddered from Soonyoung's voice alone.
Soonyoung leaned in and connected their lips yet again, the loud ringing of the school bell long forgotten.

Jιнοοи ωαѕ ωяιτιиg his new lyrics down on his new notebook that he bought a few days ago with Soonyoung watching him with goggly eyes for a while now.
Like they said earlier, they skipped their first period and stayed back at the music room alone, where they talked more about themselves.
They may be boyfriends now, but they still have a lot to learn from each other.
"You used to be fat?"
"I did."
"How'd you lose weight?"
"I could say maybe from dancing with a little bit of taekwondo in the side line."
"...I'm actually afraid of ghosts."
"Aww, our baby Jihoonie is afraid of something that doesn't even exist! Kawaii!"
"What the fuck is a kawaii?"
"It's Japanese for cute."
"Gross."
"You love it."
"Yes, I do."
They were quiet for a moment. Jihoon was testing out a few notes on the piano and Soonyoung was resting his head on his arms that's leaning on the table that is beside Jihoon. Jihoon's bag was lying on the table and Soonyoung fondled on the soft material of the bag.
"You know," Soonyoung started but Jihoon did not turn to look at him. But he stopped playing on the piano, like he was indicating that he was listening and Soonyoung continued.
"I've actually imagined my soulmate to be a girl." Jihoon canted his head to the side, towards his soulmate's direction and Soonyoung hummed.
"I actually wanted Momo to be my soulmate. I even begged the gods above to make Momo my soulmate." Soonyoung chuckled from the memory and glanced promptly at his boyfriend who was now gliding his fingers through the keys of his piano.
Soonyoung smiled as he watched Jihoon silently take his pen and write something down on his notebook.
"But then when I finally met my soulmate," Jihoon paused, "I wondered why I even did those things before. You're actually much more worth it. You're very beautiful and talented... and everything I never knew I needed my whole life until I found you..."
Jihoon bowed his head down in embarrassment and Soonyoung combed his hair back, letting his bangs fall down just over his eyes. He really needed a haircut.
"I'm very glad that you turned out to be my soulmate, Jihoonie. I'm so lucky to have you as my own now." Jihoon secretly smiled and looked down shyly, biting his lip and Soonyoung felt his cheeks burning.
"I... actually never wanted to meet my soulmate." Soonyoung perked up in alert. "Really?"
Jihoon sighed. "It's just that... my mom died because my dad never came back to her and I'm... scared, I guess?"
Soonyoung furrowed his eyes. "Scared of what?"
Jihoon turned around to look Soonyoung in the eyes and spoke. "Scared that I might end up like my mom. That maybe my soulmate will leave me and I'll end up waiting for them as well and I just... don't want that to happen to me."
Soonyoung leaned away from the table and took Jihoon's hands in his own. "You should know that I would never do that."
"I know... but I just—"
"Jihoon." The midget looked up into the other's eyes and found himself captivated to his intense gaze.
"I will never leave you, okay? I'll always be by your side. I'll always protect you. Got it?" Jihoon slowly nodded his head and let Soonyoung cup his face, caressing his cheeks that made him relax on his seat.
"Hey, I never got to ask what song you were playing earlier." Jihoon looked up and chuckled at the expectant smile Soonyoung was sending him and handed the older his notebook.
Soonyoung took it into his hands and read the lines that were written on the leaves of the notebook and gaped in awe.
"You made this?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Just... last night?"
"Last night?" Jihoon nodded timidly and watched as Soonyoung continued to read the lines that were written down on his private notebook. Soonyoung looked up at him in disbelief then looked back down on the notebook.
"Oh, my god, you're a genius."
"I'm not."
"Seriously! You are. What inspired you to make this?"
Jihoon fiddled with his fingers while biting his lip. "You?"
Soonyoung looked up at him and pointed himself. "Me?"
Jihoon looked back at him and nodded hesitantly. Soonyoung was still gaping in front of him and looked back down to the smaller's notebook. "This song is for me?"
"Um... kind of." Soonyoung grinned and surged in to kiss his adorable boyfriend hard on his lips and the younger actually yelped, laughing in their kiss as Soonyoung held his head in his hands.
"Oh, my god! I love you, Lee Jihoon." Jihoon giggled as Soonyoung continued to press multiple kisses on his lips and Jihoon knew he never wanted anything else but this.

What do I do? Without you,
My heart has no home (oh baby).
I've kept my insides empty for you.
Things might seem hard,
But I'll always be here.
So don’t think too difficultly.
'Cause I'm your home home home home.
'Cause I'm your home home home home.
'Cause I'm your home home home home.
A place you can come to, a place you can come to.
