Chapter 40 : Fluttering hearts and sweet kisses.

CTTRO. I want this chapter to have the song ' Some ' by Bol4. That song was the first one that came to my mind when I thought of what to put for this chapter. It is a cute one. And also it sounds like something from Junkyu's perspective. 😂 So yeah I put that.

There is a male version cover in YT of that song in acoustic style and they changed a few words from the original. Korean is not a language I know, so I am not sure of what the changes mean. But it is really good. Maybe give that a try too. 👀 And maybe if possible give a listen to it while reading. 😍

Third person point of view

The next morning Junkyu woke up and opened his eyes. He turned to the other side and didn't find Haruto. He was alone on the bed. He then heard the shower running. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He ran a hand through his hair to set it properly. He looked around still a little sleepy and fell back on the bed again.

Haruto finished his shower and walked out in a towel. Junkyu's back was facing him and he didn't know Junkyu was awake. He knew Junkyu had a holiday, so he let him be; not wanting to wake him up. He just walked into the wardrobe. He came out after dressing up and saw the bed was empty.

He turned to the side and saw Junkyu walking out of the bathroom. " Morning. Did you sleep well ? " Junkyu turned to Haruto and nodded. Haruto smiled. " Good. Let's go down ". They both walked to the table. They sat down and Sara joined them too. They ate breakfast in silence. " Junkyu, you are free today right ? "

Junkyu nodded as an answer to Sara's question. " Then mind coming with me ? " " Sure ". She nodded and they went back to eating breakfast. Junkyu felt a little nervous. Haruto was almost done eating and turned to look at Junkyu. He slowly moved his hand and touched Junkyu's hand. Junkyu was a little shocked.

Haruto pulled his hand back and acted normal. Junkyu looked up at him wondering what it was. Haruto raised an eyebrow and gave Junkyu a look. Junkyu frowned. Haruto showed with his eyes that he was going upstairs. He got up and then walked up instead of going out. Junkyu understood and finished eating too.

He quickly slipped away and went to Haruto's room. He saw Haruto waiting in the room. Junkyu was panicking inside after listening to Sara. He did know that speaking to Haruto would help. " What do you think it is ? " " She might just test you a little or something like that by asking you few things. Nothing much ".

Junkyu nodded. Haruto took Junkyu's hand in his and pulled him a little closer. He lifted Junkyu's hand and kissed it. Junkyu was struck. He just stared in shock. His heart was already unstable and Haruto was not helping at all. " Don't worry. You will do well ". Haruto bent forward to meet Junkyu's eyes and patted his head.

Junkyu pulled his hand away and looked down. He could only nod. Haruto smiled when he saw the blush on Junkyu's cheeks. Haruto turned around to walk out and Junkyu followed him. They both walked out of the room and down. Junkyu thought it would be more believable and realistic if he sends Haruto off.

They got down the stairs. Sara who was about to go up saw them both. " You are going to work ? " Haruto nodded. She nodded and walked up. They got down the stairs and stopped after a few steps. " I will be leaving. Bye ". " Bye ". Junkyu had a feeling Sara was going to turn to look at them. So he moved forward holding Haruto's arm, tiptoed a little and kissed Haruto's cheek.

He pulled his hand away and stood there not knowing what to do. Haruto turned to look at Junkyu shocked by the sudden kiss. Junkyu smiled and he couldn't look at Haruto directly in the eye. He was super embarrassed. He didn't know why he did not even think about it twice and just acted directly. He himself was shock about his own actions.

He really wanted the earth to just swallow him right then. " H-have a... nice day ". He said still not looking at Haruto in the eyes. He felt like he didn't have the courage to do so. Sara did see Junkyu kissing Haruto. She looked away with a smile and walked up to her room. Haruto grinned, seeing Junkyu being so shy.

He pulled Junkyu closer with a hand on his back and moved closer, kissing his cheek too. Junkyu closed his eyes tight not even daring to open them. It was like he was kissing for the first time. He felt his stomach knot. His breath hitched in his throat. Haruto saw Junkyu's ears which looked like they would bleed.

Junkyu pushed away Haruto slowly. " Go now. You will be late ". Junkyu said trying to calm his heart down. Haruto pulled Junkyu closer again wrapping his hand around Junkyu's waist. Junkyu met Haruto's eyes when he was pulled this time. He couldn't control his heartbeat anymore. He put his hands on Haruto's chest. He felt breathless being that close.

" Won't you give me one more ? " Haruto asked his face close to Junkyu's. Junkyu felt it again; the butterflies. He gulped and stared at Haruto not able to even say anything. Haruto laughed when he saw how shook Junkyu looked. Junkyu hid his face in his hands. He knew his face was flushed completely red.

" Just go already~~ " Junkyu's voice was muffled by his hands. " You really won't ? " Haruto asked and Junkyu could feel Haruto's breath on his hands. Junkyu shook his head without showing his face. Haruto tickled Junkyu making him jump and squeal. " Fine. Bye ". Haruto laughed and walked away. Junkyu removed his hands.

" Bye ". He said a little loudly and Haruto waved without looking back. Junkyu stared at Haruto's back as he walked away and went back to the room when he couldn't see Haruto anymore. He smiled and covered his face like an idiot. He held his heart. He was accusing Haruto in his heart for making him feel all of these things.

He whined all he wanted and calmed down. He has to get ready to go out with Sara. He went to the wardrobe to choose an outfit. Only a few of his dresses were brought and he could only choose from them. He saw that his other outfit that he bought a few days ago was there. He decided to wear that.

He finished showering and dressed up. He checked if he looked good and then went down. He waited in the living room. In less than 5 minutes, Sara came down. Junkyu got up from the couch. " Let's go ". They both walked out. Sang Ho was there waiting for them. Junkyu smiled at him and Sang Ho returned it.

He opened the door for Sara. Junkyu went and sat in from the other side. Sang Ho got in too. " Where should I take you guys ? " " To the mall ". Sara answered. Junkyu thought he was lucky he brought a mask. " Okay madam ". Sang Ho answered and drove them there. He parked the car and all of them walked in.
