"hey."
yn looked up from his phone.
"you okay?" jiung asked.
yn looked back down to his phone. he shrugged.
jiung's smile wilted, watching his boyfriend scroll mindlessly on his phone.
"yn," jiung called again. yn looked back at him, lowering his phone this time. "wanna talk? something's on your mind, right?"
yn had to look away another time. jiung's gentle eyes only made the urge to cry stronger.
"c'mere." jiung opened his arms to him. yn slowly moved over on his bed and let jiung hug him as they laid against their pillows.
it was quiet. jiung never liked forcing yn to talk if he wasn't up for it, but he would insist on staying beside him at least.
the morning light was beginning to pour into yn's apartment. he stared out of his window as jiung held him. the colors of the sky always fascinated him, made him feel like he was something very small and insignificant in such a big universe.
"the sky is pretty, hm?" jiung asked. yn looked up at him, not realizing they were both watching the sun rise. the light did jiung well. it gave his face a soft glow and his eyes a warm, honey brown color.
jiung looked down to meet his boyfriend's gaze, and he smiled. the same smile that could light up a room. the same smile that made flowers bloom in yn's chest. jiung was an angel in a mortal life.
"your hair is so messy this morning," jiung chuckled as he playfully poked around at yn's hair. "it looks cute, don't worry."
"shush.."
"ah, he speaks! i was starting to think my boyfriend went mute," jiung continued to tease. he loved watching yn struggle to hide his smile.
"i'll go mute just to piss you off, choi jiung."
"somehow i believe you would actually do something like that."
yn let out a small snicker before cuddling closer into jiung's side.
"did you have a hard time sleeping?" jiung asked.
yn nodded, then it was quiet again. after knowing yn for a couple years, jiung had learned most of yn's habits and routines. yn's nightly sleeps were either deep and sound or restless and frustrating, and the latter seemed much more frequent.
"i think i'm getting a headache," yn muttered with a small groan.
"'m sorry, baby. i can get you medicine if you want."
yn shook his head, "in a little bit. will you just stay with me for now?"
jiung smiled again. he nodded and rested his head against yn's.
watching the sun rise together seemed like the simplest act, and yet there was so much love in it. laying in each other's arms, legs tangled in between sheets, hearing nothing but their heartbeats and the white noise of the fan from the other side of yn's bed. sharing the small things meant a lot, especially when most things in life seemed so big.
jiung looked back at yn again before giving him a short kiss.
"what was that for?"
"i just like kissing you," jiung answered with a small note of sass in his voice.
