People turned to bury their feelings towards their friends because of one or two reasons. And that is the 'what if' trope. That's is to say 'what if I lose them forever or 'what if' they hates me or I don't have the courage to confess my feelings. All this helped them close-mouthed their feelings towards friends.
On Charles's part, he wasn't sure if Jae Won was even into men like him though he gets this weird feelings might be like him. On the hand, that is Vincent, he felt something between them and that is to say they both liked each other. But is Vincent into men like him? That's the question he kept asking himself even though there's no answer or might not ever be.
"Loosing friends because of confession, I'm not sure about that because it might not the reason. But if that actually happens, then you know they were not your friends to begin with. Sorry, I'm talking a lot but that is it" he said as he stood up from the couch and headed straight to the closet to pick something out to wear.
"All I'm saying is that, do you really want to confess or do you want to bottle it up within yourself and get hurt in the process. Secret love it's not an easy task" he said as he put on his night wear and threw himself on the bed like a sack of potatoes.
Charles was left thinking for a while before he stood up to go shower before he came to lie down on the bed to get some sleep before his afternoon shift the next day.
The night was still young for Jae Won and Vincent as they kept studying all this while. Vincent got a notification from his phone, he took it to check the source of his notification but ended up tapping Boomplay for some Korean songs he had downloaded especially more of BTS and EXO.
To Vincent, these were his favorite boy band group and when it came to the girl band group it was Blackpink and Twice. Before he had met Jae Won, whenever he felt sad or moody, these four band groups songs were the ones he listens and it worked like wonders.
He forgets his sadness and switch to feeling good as he tries to dance the choreography in the music video. He sometimes download the dance practice just to get a hang of it in case something happened. And indeed it has happened, there is a handsome Korean lying on his bed and now he can showcase his dance skills, is there?
Vincent started playing BTS song 'permission to dance' it's also one of my favorites I must say. Don't judge me please. Jae Won who was lying on the bed quickly turned his head to look at where the sound was coming from.
"Don't tell me this study has now turned into a dance practice ro...aaaah wait" his sentence was shortened as Vincent pulled him to the dance floor. "Come on let's dance. I hope you can dance the choreography?" He asked.
The room was dimly lit as Vincent turned off the light except the light from the study desk, with soft radiating light that echoed the beat of the song. The phone pulses with the energetic rhythm of BTS 'permission to dance' and Vincent gestured his hand and bow to ask his permission to dance like the name of the song that was playing.
Vincent and Jae won stood facing each other with their eyes locked in a sparkly gaze and smiles dancing on their face as Jae Won accepted the dance request of Vincent.
As the song begins, they simultaneously nod and their bodies start to move in perfect sync. They have not practiced the song nor the dance together but there was an undeniable chemistry between them that goes beyond mere friendships and brotherly love even the table, bed and everything decorated in the room including the couch could feel their chemistry but not Vincent. He was as blind as naked mole-rat.
As they dance to the choreography of the song, their hands brush against each other sending chills and shivers down their spines. Jae Won could feel his heartbeat sound but Vincent thought it was the thrill from all the dancing he is displaying.
They exchanged flirtatious grins, their eyes crinkling at the corner. The room around them melts away leaving only the song, their movements and the undeniable attraction between. If Charles was to walk on this scene, he will definitely give up before he even makes up his mind to hit on Jae Won. He will gladly accept his defeat before it comes knocking on his door.
During the chorus, they came together, their bodies swaying in unison like grain fields swaying in the breeze or seaweed swaying underwater. Their gaze locked with each other as they laughed loudly alerting the already disturbed Charles who still couldn't put his mind to rest about those two as they dance with much confidence like they taught BTS members the choreography of this song.
"Did you practice everyday?" Jae Won asked as Vincent was dancing every step accurately and perfectly as if he was there with them when they were practicing it. He shook his head "no, it s just I tend to capture things sometimes when I keep watching the same thing over and over again, that's why I could dance perfectly oh and I do practice sometimes when I'm lonely" he said as he put more energy into the song capturing the heart of anti K-pop fans.
As the song builds towards its climax, their movements became more smooth and more sensual. They were lost in the song, also lost in each other's eyes as they couldn't shift their gaze and ended up having staring competition "you look handsome under the dark room" Vincent said turning Jae Won ears and cheeks red like an overly riped tomato.
As Jae Won blushed and couldn't hide his nervousness, he laughed out without realizing and had to do something before he exposes himself by kissing him passionately without control. It wouldn't be just a kiss but a passionate one like the French kiss in capital letters.
"You are handsome too like like …" he couldn't complete his sentence as his mind went blank for a whole minute trying to come up with words but nothing. Vincent chuckled as he looked at the cute rabbit who would just enter any hole right now to escape this embarrassment. The air was charged with tension and with unspoken feelings like no other.
In the final moments of the song, they froze, their chest heaving from all the dance they have just displayed as if they were in a dance competition and needed to win to save their small little town. With their eyes locked with each other as if they could communicate with each other soul. The song faded, leaving only the sound of their ragged breathing and for a moment, they just stare at each other as the tension between them grew more and more and almost physical to touch.
Then slowly, they smile and the tension that was build between them a moment ago vanished into thin air. They shared a soft tender moment and their chemistry between them cracked like an electricity. Jae Won didn't want this moment to end but he couldn't possibly drag Vincent to dance again with him.
Letting this go was like asking a child to let go of their last candy to someone as a gift. They usually don't want to and if they end up doing it, it becomes so painful as if they have just lost something important in their life. "Are you tired?" Jae Won asked, looking for ways to go through all the feelings that was built up some moments ago by the dance.
"Oh yeah, I am" Vincent replied as they walked off the middle of the room which was their makeshift dance floor, their shoulders brushed and they exchanged a look that speaks high volumes about the feelings one have been trying to suppress and the other about the feelings that was building up little by little.
"I feel so hot I have to wash up" Vincent said as he walked straight into the bathroom rinsing and washing away the beads of sweat all over his body. Jae Won lying on the bed thinking about the feelings he kept growing for Vincent and how it felt like Vincent was also into him.
"Am I wrong?" Jae Won asked himself as he unconsciously rose from the bed and walked straight into the bathroom forgotten Vincent had already entered. "Holy shit" he said with his eyes open wide like a three way road scaring the hell out of Vincent.
"What is it? What happened?" Vincent asked as the foam from his shower gel was all over his head and face making it difficult for him to open his eyes to see the threat coming his way.
"So so sorry to have entered" Jae Won said he kept staring at that god of a body under the shower with droplets of water running down that well built muscle as he felt like touching.
Jae Won run out of the bathroom hitting his head at the door in the process "pang".
"Are you okay?" Vincent asked but no response.
