⍟ 4

Wonshik came home to a very bouncy and happy Jaehwan, who's singing as he makes dinner. It had been a while since he's seen him like this. Don't get him wrong, Jaehwan was usually a cheery person, but just.. not this cheery, not recently to be exact. 

"Hey, Jyani. What's got you so excited? You looked like you were dying when you left this morning," Wonshik mused with a chuckle, coming up behind him, stealing a meatball out of the spaghetti sauce Jaehwan was currently cooking.

The older male smacked his shoulder, grinning. "Nothing in particular happened, I just.. I'm just a lot happier than I was.. I followed Taekwoon back, and I realized that was like.. I don't know. It's a big step!" He let out a breezy sigh. "Like, he could have blocked me the second I liked his picture and he recognized my face! But he followed me first!"

Wonshik gave him a tight smile, resting his hand on Jaehwan's shoulder. "I'm glad you finally got some sense into your cute little head," He said, poking his temple. "You were really bent out of shape about it last night. If you want to impress him, you have to be more relaxed, yea?" 

Jaehwan nodded, shrugging as he walked off to strain his pasta. Steam filled the room, and Wonshik waved his hand to clear it from his face before speaking again.

"About neighbor boy. I followed him too.."

Jaehwan turned, his head tilting. "Ah.. did he follow you back?"

"He did, yeah. He liked every picture I had posted. I did the same for him," He murmured, taking the pot of noodles from Jaehwan, mixing the sauce and meatballs into it. "Maybe you should do that too, instead of just looking at all his posts like a creep~ ," He teased.

Jaehwan laughed a bit, but for some reason, what Wonshik had said didn't quite sit right with him. He brushed it off, shrugging. "Y-Yeah, maybe you're right!" He pulled out his phone, going to Taekwoon's profile, eagerly double tapping every post. There weren't too many, anyhow.

He jumped a bit when he clicked a video and it started playing full blast. It was a short video that Taekwoon had taken of himself saying something to a cute kid, probably a relative, and after the initial shock wore off, Jaehwan found himself melting. "He.."

"He sounds like an angel," Wonshik said, his eyebrows raising. 

"Stole the words from my mouth," Jaehwan said, his lower lip wobbling as he looked down at his phone screen. He was full of this overwhelming urge to just hug and cuddle this man, his voice was so high-pitched and soft, it was almost unreal. But it really was befitting of him. 

Apparently Wonshik thought so, too. "He sounds so innocent." He said, walking behind Jaehwan to peek at his phone and grab a bowl to get some food.

Jaehwan peeked down at his phone, then glanced over at the spaghetti he'd made. "Do you think it'd be a good idea to offer him some food? I'm pretty sure he lives alone, and we have more than enough.." 

Wonshik shrugged. "That's not a bad idea. I'll make him a plate, if you want."

Jaehwan nodded. "Yeah, and there's also bread sticks in the oven." Wonshik made a noise of excitement, reaching in the oven to grab two, one for himself and Taekwoon. He put a good amount of food on a plate, then paused, putting a bit more. He knew from the man's Instagram that he liked food. A lot.

He went over to the door, almost opening it, before he paused. "Do you want to take it over, or should I?" 

Jaehwan pouted a bit. "Ah.. I know you probably want to meet him, but I really want an excuse to see him again! So maybe we can both go over there together?" 

Wonshik shrugged, nodding. "Yeah, c'mon." Jaehwan practically ran over, standing close to Wonshik as they walked down the hall to their neighbor's door. He knocked on the door twice, then suddenly went still, now feeling incredibly nervous. Taekwoon probably wanted nothing to do with him. It was certainly a mistake to come over here. 

He tried to remain calm as the door opened slowly to reveal a very cozy looking Taekwoon. His black hair looked especially fluffy, and he wore sweatpants and an oversized sweater. He looked very surprised to see Jaehwan, but grew even more surprised when he looked over to Wonshik, who had food in his hands. 

He looked like he wanted to question them, but he said nothing, just looked between the two of them and the plate of spaghetti.

After an awkward minute, Wonshik spoke. "I wanted to come say hello." He didn't miss the way Taekwoon's expression changed when he heard his deep voice, but he continued anyhow. "Jaehwan here made more spaghetti than we can both handle, we figured we'd share with you.. as a bit of a welcoming gift. Everyone knows everyone on this floor," He said with a smile, holding out the plate.

Taekwoon studied him for a quiet second, then took the plate. "Uhh.. t-thank you," He said in a very tiny voice, glancing down at the food. "H-Hey, are you-" 

Wonshik smiled cheekily, understanding why Taekwoon looked so conflicted. "Yeah, I'm Ravi from Instagram. Nice to see you in person, Leo." He said, patting the smaller man's shoulder.

He drew back when Taekwoon winced a bit, nodding. "Y-Yeah." And suddenly, that was the end of that conversation. Taekwoon had slammed the door in their faces, apparently done with interaction. 

Wonshik raised a brow, looking over to Jaehwan with a slight pout. "That could've gone better..?"

Jaehwan shrugged a bit, shaking his head, although he was giving the closed door the biggest pout Wonshik had ever seen him make. "I guess we have to take baby steps with him! I mean, he followed us.. so that means he doesn't completely hate us?" He shrugged again.

Wonshik nodded, tilting his head as he made an expression of agreement. "I guess you're right.. c'mon." He grabbed Jaehwan by the wrist, dragging him back over to their apartment. He held open the door for him, then went over to the stove to grab his bowl of spaghetti. He flopped down on the couch, taking a bite of his bread stick before waving to Jaehwan.

"Jyani! Come over here and cuddle me while we eat, yeah? I had a long day at work. I could use some Ken time~" 

Jaehwan got a bowl full of food, before sitting on the couch beside Wonshik, a cute smile on his face. "You really think my cuddles will fix everything?" He asked, already nuzzling up to Wonshik as he ate a spoonful of food. 

"I know they will~ ," Wonshik chuckled a bit, wrapping an arm around Jaehwan's waist. He absolutely loved the older male, he just had this happy and bouncy aura that really put him at ease. He'd always found him to be the cutest thing he'd ever seen, and he never ever wanted to lose him. He didn't know what he'd do without his cuddles. 

Jaehwan found himself blushing a bit, but he ignored it as he turned on the tv, stuffing his face with the warm food. He loved the way Wonshik used him like a teddy bear, but he probably wouldn't ever tell him that. He just enjoyed the moment. 

After they'd both finished eating, Jaehwan found himself half-asleep in Wonshik's arms as the other man laughed at whatever he was watching on the tv. He jumped when he heard Wonshik's deep laugh, blinking awake. "Ah.. what time is it?"

"It's only 8:30.. tired already?" Jaehwan nodded. "I have to get up pretty early tomorrow, I open the store.." He stood, rubbing his eyes before grabbing the empty dishes and carrying them in the kitchen. "I think I'm gonna get a shower and call it a night. Unless you need anything?"

Wonshik cleared his throat, shaking his head. "No, I'm fine. Night, Jaehwannie." 

Jaehwan gave him a sleepy smile, waving as he shuffled to the bathroom. He shut the door before stripping down and turning on the shower, leaning against the wall as he waited for the water to heat up. He started to nod off from the relaxing sound, till he heard Wonshik's bedroom door open and shut.

He jumped a bit, shaking his head before getting in the steamy shower, yawning as he got his hair wet and and lathered it up with shampoo. He leaned against the shower wall, letting the water run down his spine as he fought off sleep. 

He was lost in his own thoughts for a while as he continued to rinse himself off, washing out his hair and shutting off the water. He was just about to get out when he heard a soft voice, making him stop in his tracks.

Singing? Very soft, gentle singing in a high note. He pressed his ear to the shower wall, eyebrows raised as he listened. He thought for a second, trying to figure out who's voice that would be. What walls surrounded the bathroom?

His own room, the hallway, the living room, and whichever apartment was next door.

Wait. Next door.

Meaning.. that soft and cute and super pretty voice belonged to none other than Jung Taekwoon!

Jaehwan felt himself breaking out in a smile as he listened closer, his heart melting at the sound of the male's soft and sweet voice. He sung in the shower, that was so cute. He was so good too.. Jaehwan had to wonder if he ever did anything music related, like performed or recorded any songs. He was so good!

He wished Wonshik were in here to hear this, he'd absolutely love it. See, Wonshik liked to compose music in his freetime, and he also rapped.. he had an insanely deep voice.. Jaehwan thought Taekwoon's high voice would definitely compliment Wonshik's low rap skills.

After a few minutes, the singing died out, and Jaehwan was cold anyways. He stepped out of the shower, covering himself in a towel before going to his room. He couldn't wait to tell Wonshik about this.. but yet, some part of him wanted to keep this little secret all to himself.
