One phrase was enough to make Jisung stop on his track. Even when Hyunjin said he loved him, he was already overwhelmed by a whole surge of familiar emotion that he also felt this afternoon yet he easily dismisses due to his insecurity. "Don't run away, please"

   Jisung was struck by how Hyunjin's voice had cracked towards the end. His eyes hurriedly tried to find something in Hyunjin's gaze. His eyes were glistening with something Jisung didn't want to think about.

   Was he shocked? Was he surprised? Was he sad? Was he happy?

   He was feeling more than all of those combined. It wasn't something he could justified or explained. He just felt more and most of it that he was only able to dragged his feet back to Hyunjin and sat next to Hyunjin.

   Tears had started to roll down Hyunjin's cheeks, how had he managed to hide everything? How had he managed to keep it to himself all this while when he had deeply missed Jisung. So much that each time he repeated the scene of Jisung throwing his body to save him, it hurts. Even when Jisung was breathing and laughing at him, he felt hurt yet hasn't he been holding it should all this while?

   That's why, him begging Jisung was a sign of his desperate he was...not only to assure Jisung he wasn't alone but assure himself that Jisung wouldn't leave him.

   "Hyunjin...", Jisung said with trembling voice when Hyunjin pulled him into his embrace, wrapping his arms around Jisung's whole body, burying his face onto Jisung's shoulder. This was real.

   His heart felt light at how he was being to engulf Jisung's small body with his. Jisung who was stuck frozen before slowly lifted his hands, resting them at the back of Hyunjin's back — one on his back and another on Hyunjin's nape where he slowly circled his thumb against Hyunjin's exposed skin.

   For now, Jisung didn't want to ask why and how. He savoured the moment without any needless question or words that could ruin their time together.

  Hyunjin backed away but his eyes never left Jisung's. His gaze lingered and Jisung reached out to wipe the remaining tears that had stuck at the corner of his eyes. In respond, he pressed his lips on Jisung's wrist, right at where his pulse was.

   It was an action of adoration.

   "I won't leave. I will stay", Jisung fondly said, giggling at how Hyunjin was still kissing his wrist as if he was addicted to it.  "I promise", he said, linking his pinky finger with Hyunjin's.

   Even when they were eating, Hyunjin wouldn't leave his gaze on Jisung. The younger hadn't try to stop Hyunjin because partly he felt guilty. The way Hyunjin told him how he reacted when Jisung passed away, he had lots of thought on that. It was on how he shouldn't throw his life that easily and how he should live well because it won't just affect him when anything happened to him. It will affect Hyunjin too.

   All that thinking, he was only certain about one thing— he might regret leaving Hyunjin but he would do it over and over again if it meant to save Hyunjin. He wasn't hopelessly romantic, he was selfish. That was what he was...at first but now he knew even when he was the one who left, those moment when he was in complete darkness, he felt lonely without Hyunjin.

   "Are you real?", Jisung plopped his cheek on his palm, he still couldn't believe what he heard. He wanted to ask but he didn't. "Of course, I am"

   "I just... it's too sudden and I-", I miss you a lot.

  "You don't have to say it. I know how you feel.", Hyunjin picked up his plate and Jisung's, placing them in the sink when his phone rang. He ignored it even when his notification kept popping up, Jisung watched him curiously. "You aren't going to pick it up?"

   "No. It was those seniors again. They keep bugging me but you know me. ", Hyunjin wouldn't necessarily try to get close to anybody, especially when they tend to become toxic to him. He easily trust people who approached him first but he could see they approach him with ill intentions.

   At the mention of the seniors,Jisung fidget in the chair. Just few hours ago they found him kissing Hyunjin and it didn't end up pretty.  "Why did they call you this time?", He was a bit concerned and worried if Hyunjin was in trouble because of him. Hyunjin quickly saw through this and ruffled Jisung's hair. "They're just asking me out for some drinks but I don't want to and it's not my birthday yet"

  "Drinks?", Talking about drinking, Jisung hadn't drink even a sip of alcohol ever since he entered the university. It wasn't his birthday yet, so, he wants really of age but he could drink it if his friends buy it for him. "Why? You want some?", He opened his fridge, Jisung snorting at him.

   He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and pointed out, "didn't you say you're not of age yet?", Ah, how he missed joking around with Hyunjin like this. If he had to write one of the reason he adores Hyunjin so much, it would be because Hyunjin made him comfortable enough to joke around with.

   As much as they wanted to have some times alone with each other, the next moment, Felix had crashed in after finding no Jisung in his room. "I know you would be here!", He saw how red Jisung's eyes and Hyunjin's were, it was as if they were crying before.

   "What's happening?", He asked, clueless. He mouthed at Hyunjin without a voice what? What's going on? Did you tell him?

   Hyunjin nodded at that, his smile...he couldn't hide it any longer and it just stretched out naturally.

  "Oh!!! This is time to celebrate! Let's drink!", Even if they weren't of age yet, it wouldn't be so wrong since they were mentally much older, right?

  One person ended up being with another person and another person and another person until the room was finally filled with 7 people. It was crowded, especially when they were in a small apartment room that was meant for one person.

   "Why am I even here? Like, I can't even drink", Jeongin said, folding his arms. He even rode the train to get here. "You're only grumpy because your teacher called your mom today" , the younger groaned, rolling his eyes at the memory.

  Meanwhile, "I swear to god. What's wrong with the seniors of yours? I'm saying I have friends here. You can hang out with them and those bastard will stop bothering you", Changbin slammed a can of beer on the small table where they were all crowded at. Changbin was already pretty much drunk since he was already drinking even before he came here. "Are you sure it's fine for him to keep drinking?", Jisung asked, poking at Changbin who was starting to lost his conscious that, then he dropped on the table.

   "That pretty much answer your question", the taller answered, laughing at his friends. It would be much better if Seungmin was with them but the other was probably having a lot of fun in the state right now. "You know. You should really consider meeting Changbin's friends"

   Hyunjin hummed, even he agreed on this. He didn't know what trouble his seniors would bring to him. It was better to hang around the right clique rather than the dangerous one.

  "Ji", Jisung raised his eyebrow, suddenly being called by the nickname with such a serious tone, he was a bit surprised. "yeah?"

   "We can't really discuss about us with them here. Are you free tomorrow?", Jisung hummed, he indeed want to discuss about them. He looked around at their friends and smiled. "So, it's like a date?", Nobody really heard them because they were whispering all the time. Only Felix was glaring at them, cursing under his breath damn, love birds.

   "Yeah, like a date", Hyunjin laughed.

   "Okei, rather than this boring event of you guys drinking and me watching! Let's watch some movies!", Jeongin stood up from the sofa and walked around the table before he reached out for Hyunjin's laptop, glancing at him for permission. The older nodded at him.

   As the movie was played on the telly, Changbin was pushed to the side, so, he can sleep on the floor and out of pity everyone who had outerwear threw it over him so that he won't freeze to death whole sleeping.

   Whilst, the others were crowding with one another. Felix was in between Chan and Minho as Jeongin had his leg on Chan's laps. As for the other two, they were on the sofa, nobody really noticed how Jisung had scooted closer to Hyunjin and his head had touched Hyunjin's shoulder.

   Maybe Chan did realized and he only smiled at them, liking how they were getting along. As for now with Felix as an exception, not one person in this room had realized the significant change in their relationship.

   It was towards the end of the movie when everyone fell asleep, the laptop was left alone until the screensaver showed up. The first one to wake up was Jisung, he looked at the clock and it was around 1 am.

    Then he heard a rustle, someone standing up and rushing to the toilet. Sound of ratching was coming out of the toilet. That would be Changbin.

   Scanning the room, the four friends on the floor were still cuddled up against one another, they looked so peaceful. Him on the other hand was stuck. Even if wanted to move, he couldn't. With the hands wrapped around his waist and the familiar plump lips pressed against his exposed skin on the shoulder, it was awfully difficult to move.

    Albeit, he moved, shifting in the sofa so he can get a better look at the person who had been burying his face on Jisung's shoulder. The little movement stirred Hyunjin awake, his eyes terribly droopy but he managed to lift his eyelids to see Jisung, the source of light in this whole room.

    It's been a while since he woke up smiling like this. "Morning"

    "It's 1 am, Hyunjin", Hyunjin closed his eyes and hummed. "Then sleep again"

   "No...I have to go to the toilet", Jisung complained, pushing Hyunjin a bit. The other stretched his neck, looking at the closed door of the toilet. "Someone's in there"

   "I know but he will come out soon. So, just let me go first", Hyunjin shook his head, still stubborn as he wanted to hold Jisung more. "Then....kiss?", Hyunjin asked, Jisung sighing and laughing in defeat. "Sure"

   He pressed his hands on Hyunjin's chest, his lips touching Hyunjin's. It wasn't an overly done kiss, it was just a chaste but a long kiss. Jisung pulled away, asking if that was enough but Hyunjin shook his head again, frowning at Jisung.

  "One more", Jisung smiled in defeat again. There will be never saying no to this big baby. So, they kissed again. Not once, not twice. Some were pressed on Hyunjin's cheek, some teasingly at the corner of his lips and when Hyunjin got impatient, he kissed Jisung deeply on the lips, the younger stifling a giggle out of his lips when he saw how infuriated Hyunjin was.

   "Okei, that's that. I need to go to the toilet", Hyunjin reluctantly let him free, the younger leaving for the toilet whilst the older friend who had just came out from the toilet looking like he had been eating garbage for a whole week was standing like an idiot in the middle of the room. He hadn't sobered up from all the drinks he had.

   Hyunjin went back to sleep, a bit uncomfortable since the warmth in his hands weren't there but fell asleep regardless.

Oh, yeah as for the mini q&a

Have they time travelled or life travelled?

They time travelled or more specifically, they reincarnated back.

Jisung got his memory immediately because it's his second time going through this.
While Felix and Hyunjin I don't want to spoil on that ajanakanka. There's a reason 😂😂😂

So, if like y'all confused.

Back in part 1, it seemed like Jisung travelled to the future in fa t he didn't. If you read chapter 28.1, he actually ate the candy and woke up with amnesia because he thought being 28 make things complicated for him. Hence, he woke up with his memory only until he was 18!

Then in part 2, he actually reincarnated back to when he was 18 along with Hyunjin and Felix. Felix got his memory faster because he's always hanging around Jisung but of course there's a reason as to why he even get reincarnated to begin with 🤧🤧 I just won't say it now. It will spoil.

So,in conclusion. The first time was amnesia and the second time is reincarnation.

Are the members still in contact?

Yup, they are still in contact with each other.

Wil they hangout?

There will be time when they will meet each other but because they're busy and all it's a bit difficult to go out and eat lunch together. They probs hangout at night or hangout with other member like one by one not as a whole because of their schedule. ,(And they just hung out in this chap jsjsja)

How did you come to ship them?

This 😂😂 okei when I first got into this fandom, my friend gave me a fanfic to read on Ao3 and it was a Hyunsung! Then I got all curious I found out they're very close with each other then I found out they used to hate each other then get along better. So, I kinda love seeing them growing with each other like they're besties 🥺🥺🥺

Okei, that's that. I will still continue answering y'all questions in the future 💕💕- hunny.
