The start of the day wasn't normal for both Seungcheol and Minghao.
After coming back to their apartment building when Minghao tried to get out of the car his body felt incredibly sore due to sleeping in the car specifically on Seungcheol's lap. His neck was stiff and his legs and waist ached with every movement.
But atleast he could stand properly. Seungcheol on the other hand was about to fall when he stepped out due to the numbness he felt in his legs.
Minghao quickly went to support him but as Minghao got close to Seungcheol with the intention of helping him their eyes met each other's eyes and suddenly the atmosphere between them got ambiguous due to the things that happened earlier in the car.
Both of them turned red due to embarrassment but Minghao still helped Seungcheol even though they didn't exchange a word the whole way back to their own apartment.
The silence between them was very harmonious.
After getting back to his apartment, Seungcheol freshened up and went to bed to catch some sleep. He was feeling tired after sleeping in his car and fortunately after coming back he didn't bump into any of his friends who shared the apartment with him so he could just sleep peacefully.
In his sleep, Seungcheol started dreaming again the same dream. This time his dream was weirdly very realistic.
In his dream he could feel the silk sheet wrapped around him and the figure underneath him which was smooth and fluid to touch with a luxurious feeling to it but the skin of his beloved was smoother and softer than silk.
He stroked and fondled his beloved's skin to his heart content but still couldn't get enough of it. His beloved being sensitive would gasp and moan sweetly at his touch but when Seungcheol extended his tongue to attack and taste his sensitive spots, his beloved started crying delightfully.
Every little thing that his beloved did, even the simple thing as breathing quickly underneath him due to pleasure made Seungcheol feel unbearably impatient but instead of quickly releasing his desires he wanted to continue slowly torturing himself cause he wanted to worship every inch of his beloved's being and indulge into pleasuring him.
The dream was such that made Seungcheol restlessly twist and turn in his sleep. Unable to endure anymore he woke up sweating and panting. He clutched his blanket tightly in frustration. Not being able to find release made him feel so painful that he was painfully hard.
He could remember the details of his dream clearly this time but still the face of the figure underneath him wasn't visible to him. It just never flashed in his eye sight for some reason.
But one thing he was now very clear about was the figure in his dream wasn't Jeonghan.
This realisation made him sigh in relief. Atleast things weren't as complicated as he thought.
He made his way towards the bathroom to solve the problem of his hardness as he relieved himself while thinking about the figure in his dream.
After cleaning up himself he started feeling hungry so he went to the kitchen to make himself something to eat.
There he saw Mingyu making sandwiches. He was piling up a mountain of grilled sandwich while working mechanically. It seems like Seungcheol didn't need to make anything for himself as Mingyu had already cooked enough for four of them to eat for lunch.
As Seungcheol went closer towards Mingyu he sensed that something was wrong with him then his eyes feel on Mingyu's knuckles and saw the wounds on them. He grabbed Mingyu hand to inspect his wounds.
It wasn't until Seungcheol grabbed his hand that Mingyu broke out of reveire and seeing the concern on Seungcheol's face he let him inspect it.
" What is it? Did you get into a fight?" Seungcheol asked with a worried look on his face. Mingyu had a hot temper so it wasn't completely impossible for him to fight if someone provoked him but interestingly he has endless patience for his close friends.
Mingyu didn't answer him and kept quiet, his expressions were very serious. It was only then that Seungcheol noticed that Mingyu's face looked pale as if all the colour from his face has been drained out.
He quickly brought the first aid box to apply medicine on Mingyu's wounds. Mingyu hadn't even bothered to pay proper attention to his wounds! God knows what he's been thinking.
Seungcheol fussed around advicing Mingyu worriedly that he should control his temper while carefully and softly applying the iodine on his wound and wrapping it with a bandage.
Seeing Seungcheol being so careful and concerned about him, Mingyu broke down and suddenly confessed to him that he is in love with Wonwoo.
Mingyu's confession shocked Seungcheol. There were two things that made him feel so shocked, the first was Mingyu was clearly a straight man. Just yesterday him and his friends were talking about Mingyu getting a girlfriend for himself, Mingyu had clearly said that he wanted to get in a relationship with a girl and now suddenly he is saying that he is in love with a man!
The second thing was he never expected Mingyu to fall for Wonwoo of all people. Both Mingyu and Wonwoo are really close to each other, they are each other's bestfriend for a long time. They have always talked about how precious the brotherhood between them is but now Mingyu has fallen in love with Wonwoo. This is really incredible.
But compared to him and Minghao kissing, it's not actually as shocking. If Mingyu loves Wonwoo sincerely then he will support Mingyu so Seungcheol comforted him. But Mingyu instead started crying because he was grateful that Seungcheol didn't disapprove of his feelings towards Wonwoo.
Seungcheol felt heartbroken when he heard Mingyu's words. Mingyu was talking as if having feelings for Wonwoo was like committing a crime. His feelings for Wonwoo weren't wrong.
Loving someone honestly and wholeheartedly is never wrong.
So Seungcheol hugged him and let him cry his heart out.
But later after hearing that Mingyu still wanted to be in a relationship with a girl Seungcheol expressed his disapproval.
He doesn't want Mingyu to end up like him and Sara.
But seeing Mingyu red puffy eyes and the determination about getting into a relationship with a girl, Seungcheol could somewhat understand his struggle and even if he wanted to and tried to persuade Mingyu, he couldn't change Mingyu's mind so could only let Mingyu be.
After talking with Mingyu for a while Seungcheol decided to meet Sara to discuss things with her after eating lunch.
They still need to have a deep conversation.
