Normal Couple (Sangbum) AU

Artist: @venkalya

Synopsis: What if Bum and Sangwoo were just a normal couple? Massive fluffiness and cuteness ahead....

It was in the locker room when Bum’s eyes met Sangwoo’s for the first time. The smaller one was currently being held down by two of his seniors while the third one was trying to get off his pants. Of course, Bum fought back with all the strength he had but he didn’t scream because attracting attention from other recruits would make the situation he was in worse. Be it instantly – who knows who would want to join in “the fun” – or afterwards as revenge when the higher-ups were done with the assaulters. Naturally, Bum was shocked and stopped moving for a second when he saw the young man standing there. His lack of action didn’t go unnoticed by his senior, who – as he turned to look behind him – was met with a fist.

“What the fuck are you scum doing here?!” Sangwoo yelled. The two recruits, who held Bum down, stood up, looked at each other and nodded in understanding before leaping after the guy who hurt their friend. Unfortunately for them, Sangwoo was not only taller but also stronger. He dodged the first guy and punched the second one into his solar plexus, making him fall onto his knees.

“You think, you’re some kind of hero, huh? Came to rescue the little fag princess?” The guy, who got a taste of Sangwoo’s fist, stood up and carefully touched his swelling cheek. Just as Sangwoo wanted to punch him again, he was being attacked from behind.

Bum was just sitting there, watching the scene with dread. What if that guy saw him being toyed with and now he wanted to do the same thing but even worse? His heart told him to get up and flee but his mind was just blank.

Sangwoo threw the attacker, who was still hanging onto him and trying to asphyxiate him with his arm around his neck, towards the cocky one. The latter being kind of kicked by his friend in the face in the process.

Quickly Sangwoo turned to Bum, took his hand and with a soft “Run!”, he dragged the still frozen man with him.

They only got to run to the cafeteria in the next building because Bum was not only in no shape to run and out of breath but his pants were still halfway put on.

“Gee, boy, you have no stamina.” Only now Sangwoo got to take a proper look at the shorter male, who was trying his best to catch his breath, hands on his knees. Sangwoo furrowed his eyebrows. The boy before him was really thin and in an unhealthy way pale. He flinched when he saw Bum, who could finally breathe normally again, pulling his pants up and zipping them.

Even though he used a belt, the pants still looked like they were two sizes too big and Sangwoo knew that the boy had to have the smallest size available in the military.“Hey, so…uhm…” The taller male didn’t know how to start the conversation. He crossed his arms and frowned. Bum, looking up, interpreted the other’s look as a sign of dissatisfaction. He shivered, scared of what would follow. Noticing how the black-haired boy flinched, Sangwoo felt a pang of worry. He uncrossed his arms and put one hand on Bum’s shoulder in a calming manner but it had the opposite effect because Bum jerked away; big, shocked eyes staring at Sangwoo, who immediately raised his hands up, showing the other he meant no harm.“Sorry, I-I didn’t want to scare you. I just wanted to talk.” Bum’s expression didn’t change and it made Sangwoo think, what must have happened to make the other that distrusting.“So…”, Sangwoo looked at the boy’s name tag on his uniform. “ -Yoon Bum, right? You have to take care of yourself. I mean, just your appearance screams ‘bully victim’.

You seriously should eat more. You’re way too thin and unhealthily pale.” Ashamed of his appearance being pointed out, Bum looked away. Sangwoo sighed. He felt awkward with that weird guy. Nervously scratching the back of his head he said, “Look, I don’t criticise you, it’s just… the way you are now, they are gonna keep doing shit like this. This is the military. It’s beating up or being beaten up. I bet you, those losers suck at their job and get yelled at by the superiors, so they compensate by bullying you.” Bum bit his lip. It’s not like he didn’t know this but what could he do? He suddenly felt a big warm hand ruffling his hair. He looked up and saw Sangwoo’s dejected face.“What do I do with you?” He sighed again.

“Well, for now… Let me buy us lunch. Just looking at you makes me hungry.” Sangwoo noticed the flinch but he didn’t show it. After the meal Bum bowed down, whispered a thank you and disappeared. Sangwoo just shook his head in disbelief. He had to keep an eye on that boy, no matter how weird he was. It happened that Sangwoo had to come another two times for Bum’s rescue: One time when the same three guys ganged up on him on the toilet and another time in the evening by the dorms. That time it was pure coincidence that Sangwoo was there. His room was at the opposite end of the building from where Bum’s was. It just happened that Sangwoo has had a bad day so he decided to let out his anger by going for a run before bed. It was long past curfew but he didn’t care. When he was on his way back, he saw two guys whispering and ganging up on another. Too tired to care, Sangwoo decided to just mind his own business until he heard one of the guys say Bum’s name.

That was the last straw. Sangwoo has had enough. Enough of those fuckers bullying others. Enough of Bum being a victim. Enough of this whole military crap. Without thinking, he just walked past the guys and again dragged Bum by his wrist towards his room. They stood in front of the door, neither of them uttering a word. Sangwoo was angry. Very angry. But he had to calm down. For his sake and Bum’s. He didn’t want to hurt the other.“S-Sangwoo… you are… hurting me.” Hearing Bum’s fragile voice, he immediately let go of the wrist he forgot he was holding onto.“Sorry”, he whispered and turned towards Bum. The shorter male shook his hand while massaging his wrist. Distressed, Sangwoo ran his fingers through his hair. “Bum. This can’t go on. You’re gonna sleep in my bed tonight.” Shocked at the words Sangwoo said, Bum wanted to refuse but the taller male didn’t let him.“No ‘but’s. I am serious and-““But what about you?”, Bum interrupted him. Sangwoo was surprised for a second but continued.“I’m gonna keep watch here outside. The other guys are deep sleepers and they are okay, so you don’t have to worry about them.” “I-I don’t worry about…about them. It’s cold here and you can’t possibly stay outside. I am… not worth it.” There he was again. Sangwoo took a deep breath, closed his eyes and counted to ten. He wanted to punch Bum so badly for saying stuff like this. It was not the first time Bum degraded himself and somehow it hurt Sangwoo that the boy didn’t value himself. He approached Bum, put both hands on either shoulder of the shorter male, bent slightly down and looked him deep into his eyes.“You.Are.Going.To.Sleep.Here. Understand?” Bum’s eyes only turned sadder. Sangwoo groaned.“Do as you are told by your hyung.”

“But-“

“No!” Sangwoo opened the door to his room he shared with some other recruits and pushed Bum towards his bunk bed.

“Go and sleep.” He urged Bum to lay down, which the other did. Pulling the covers over the shorter male’s body, he kissed his forehead instinctively. When he realised what he had done, he just stared down at Bum and whispered a “Goodnight” before dashing out of the room.

The next morning, Sangwoo was woken up by a cold finger poking his cheek. Groggily he opened his eyes and looked in the direction from where the mysterious finger came. His eyes met Bum’s, which were as usual filled with worry.

“Sangwoo, please get into the bed.”

Still too tired to process anything being said to him, Sangwoo just hummed, closing his eyes again. Bum pouted. It was four a.m. and he wanted Sangwoo to get at least an hour of sleep before the day started but the other was being rather uncooperative. Softly he shook the taller male’s shoulder. It was freezing outside and Sangwoo was literally sitting here, hugging his knees in just a tank top and some sweatpants.

“Sangwoo, please, wake up!”

“Nnhhnnnggh…” Sangwoo just swatted away Bum’s hand. Sighing, Bum went back into the room, took the sheets and went back to cover up Sangwoo’s cold body before sitting down next to him. He thought about going back to his own room but he couldn’t just leave Sangwoo here all by himself.

5 a.m. sharp the daily ruckus started and it startled Sangwoo awake from his sleep. He was still groggy but warm and leaning onto his shoulder was a sleeping Bum. No matter what, Sangwoo had to protect the boy.

It was the day of return. During their last two months at the military, Sangwoo and Bum got closer to each other. Strangely enough they somehow completed each other: Bum’s quiet behaviour calmed Sangwoo down when he lost his temper. Sangwoo on the other side made Bum come out of his shell little by little. The shorter male slowly started to voice his opinions and stand his ground – which still failed most of the time but it was something.

“Is no one going to get you?”, Sangwoo asked. They were standing at the bus station, waiting. Bum just shook his head.

“But… aren’t you living with your uncle? Is he away?” Again, Bum shook his head. He didn’t tell much about his life. Sangwoo only knew that he was living with his uncle, that they were poor and that Bum was obviously (unconsciously?) starving himself out of stress. He wouldn’t say that Bum had an eating disorder, it was more like he didn’t feel hunger due to the strain. When Sangwoo was forcing him to work out and eat, he would oblige. After some hard training with Sangwoo to become stronger and be able to protect himself, Bum would practically devour twice the portion he usually ate. So Sangwoo came to the conclusion that it had more to do with the environment than his mind.

“Well, your bag is pretty heavy. I know we’ve trained a few times but you are still underweight and…” Sangwoo didn’t want to say ‘weak’. “And tired from the journey here.”

“It’s… okay.”

“No, it’s not. Give me that bag. I’m gonna walk you home.” At that, Bum flinched.

“No, seriously. It’s okay. Really. I can…. manage.” Being sceptical, Sangwoo tried to get more out of Bum.

“Then…. Why do I have the feeling that there is something you’re hiding?”

Bum was a terrible liar and he knew it. And Sangwoo knew it too.

“I…” Bum’s head hung low. Sangwoo ran his fingers through Bum’s hair.

“I’m not gonna do anything you don’t like, you know that. I’m just gonna drop off that bag and go, okay?” Bum nodded and a faint smile appeared on Sangwoo’s lips.

Bum’s key didn’t fit into the lock. With slight panic he looked at Sangwoo, who already suspected that Bum was playing all the worst-case scenarios in his head he could come up with. The taller male sighed.

“How about we ring the doorbell?”

For a second Bum realised that this was also an option but when he remembered why it was definitely not one after all it was already too late because Sangwoo rang the bell. The latter noticed Bum trying to tell him something but he couldn’t ask since the door opened and some creepy and grumpy middle-aged guy in what looked like unwashed sweatpants and undershirt stepped out.

“Who the hell is daring to disturb my peace?”

Oh. So this was why Bum didn’t want Sangwoo to come along.

“Good day, sir.” Sangwoo greeted politely. Always be polite. That’s the safest way.

“Hello, uncle.” Bum muttered under his breath, his eyes cast down.

“Huh? Bum? That you, you ungrateful kid?” The man looked suspiciously at Sangwoo and approached his nephew. Pulling Bum roughly by his hair, he yelled, “What did you do? Did they kick you out of the military? You sure are a good-for-nothing.” Sangwoo was feeling himself losing his cool but he had to stay calm.

“Mister, he wasn’t kicked out. Today is our dismissal.”

He glanced at Sangwoo. “Is that so?”

Bum’s uncle let go of his hair and walked back into the house, informing Bum,

“I didn’t hear anything about that. There is no food for you here. If you want some, go earn it and leave me alone. And I changed the lock because I lost the key, so if you want a key, pay the duplicate yourself.”

Bum let his head hang. It hurt Sangwoo seeing his friend like this. Being impulsive as ever, Sangwoo took Bum by his hand and pulled him back towards the street.

“S-Sangwoo! What are you doing?” The taller didn’t answer, he just pulled Bum along for a few metres and when Bum’s house was out of sight, Sangwoo turned to him.

“Bum, I can’t let you live with him there. You’re gonna be gloomy again. Every small step you took to better yourself is going to be in vain. Come live with me.” Shocked eyes looked into determined one.

“I-I can’t Sangwoo. I am just going to intru-“

“No! Don’t say a single word. Just come. You are already of age, right? I mean, you were enlisted. That means you are old enough to decide on your own. He is toxic and bad for you. I may not be able to be the perfect family for you but I am definitely better than him.” Bum felt like his heart stood still and so did Sangwoo. Family. That’s what the taller one has always dreamed about. Bum knows his story: His father was abusive, he only had his mother. Unfortunately, his parents died in a car accident so now he was living by himself. His mother was the only person he had loved so much. Till now.

Bum was the only person who grew dear into his heart beside his mother. This was all new for Sangwoo and he felt really insecure. He knew he had anger management issues, so he wanted to make everything between him and Bum perfect. Sangwoo would never admit that he was afraid of scaring Bum away with his aggression though. The shorter male was sometimes weird – well no wonder, when he grew up with a jerk like that – but he was still precious to Sangwoo.“I- I am of age. But… Sangwoo, you are starting university, so you should live your life while you can and not spend your youth with me.” Sangwoo furrowed his eyebrows.“What are you talking about? You sound like an old geezer.”“Well-“. Sangwoo groaned.“Bum, please! Look at this as helping out a dongsaeng, okay? Is that alright for your masochistic conscience?” Bum looked confused.“Dongsaeng? Sangwoo… I am older than you.” Now it was Sangwoo’s turn to be surprised.“Wait, what? By how much?” Seeing that Sangwoo didn’t know his age, Bum suddenly felt ashamed for being older than his friend.“Four years.” It was a mere whisper.“Four years?! And why didn’t you care to tell me? How do you even know?” Sangwoo couldn’t believe this. Now he felt even more obliged to be at his hyung’s side.“You didn’t ask for my age and I knew because you told me about your 21st birthday.”Oh, well that made sense. Again Sangwoo sighed.“Look, Bum. I don’t care, okay? I’m still here for you and you are going to live with me. I hope you don’t have any valuables left with your uncle, and if, then we’re gonna buy you some new, alright?” Bum nodded and that was all that Sangwoo wanted. Living together turned out well. Even though Sangwoo and Bum were in different classes and years, they somehow managed to be able to at least eat breakfast and dinner together. Sangwoo worked part-time and earned their money, while Bum made the chores at home. At first he wanted to go to work to but Sangwoo insisted that they wouldn’t have time for cleaning and cooking if they both worked. It was obviously a lie and they both knew it, still none of them said that out aloud. Also, Sangwoo loved Bum’s cooking. It was much better than his and it made his day when he came home after a tiring day of classes and work to eat Bum’s delicious meals.It was Friday evening and the two males were eating dinner in peace. Sangwoo had the next day off so they decided to spend the night relaxing.“Sangwoo, today a letter to you came.”“To me?” Sangwoo talked while chewing. Bum made a slightly annoyed face at his roommates behaviour. The latter made a face, muttered a “Yeah, yeah, no chewing while eating” and took the letter Bum handed him. Opening the letter, he saw the logo of his health insurance. The more he read the content, the angrier he got. Bum noticing the change of expression tilted his head and softly called Sangwoo’s name.“What is it?”The roommate sighed and scratched his temple, a habit that showed, when he was stressed.“It’s nothing.”“It doesn’t look like nothing. What is the matter, Sangwoo?”“It’s… it’s the insurance.” Bum sensed something bad, but he was also afraid of asking for details, so he just stared at the other, which in turn made Sangwoo uncomfortable.“We’re gonna make it.” Sangwoo tried to assure Bum, but failed.“What happened? Are you sick?” The shorter male started to worry. What would he do if Sangwoo was sick? He would have to look for a job so the other could stay at home and get some rest. After all, Sangwoo did everything for him.“No, it’s not… me. It’s just…” Sangwoo closed his eyes. He didn’t want to talk about this. He already knew how Bum would react and only thinking about it made him lose his temper.“Sangwoo?” “The insurance won’t pay your treatment. There, you have it!” Bum’s eyes widened in shock. After they moved in, Sangwoo took Bum to see a doctor. He had appointments with a dietician and a psychologist every few weeks to work on his unhealthy coping mechanism of not eating or eating too little. When Sangwoo talked with his insurance advisor about the costs, they assured him, they would cover the expenses but now h, got a letter of regret.

“It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.” Bum muttered and Sangwoo was just seconds away from punching his friend.“Bum. Another word and I swear by God, I’m not gonna hold back.” Sangwoo’s voice trembled from anger but the other didn’t let that stop him. His regret was too deep.“But it’s true! Everything is my fault. You have to work part-time to pay for the bills of two people even though you should just enjoy your university life, go out, drink, meet new people and get a girlfriend, but because of me you are stuck here and now you are even indebted.

I knew this wouldn’t work ou-“ That was it. Sangwoo lost it. He slammed the letter on the table.“Shut the fuck up, Bum!” He stood up, pulled Bum up by his collar and continued his rant.“One more fucking time I hear you saying shit like this and you’re gonna regret you ever met me, are we clear?”Bum’s wide and wet eyes just stared at Sangwoo. And stared. And slowly Sangwoo regained his composure, realising what he did. At once he let go of Bum’s collar as if he burned himself. Bum looked away, his face red, lips trembling. Sangwoo’s eyes widened in shock. What had he done? He wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted to protect Bum. But here he was, yelling at him and not being better than the guys from the military or Bum’s uncle, who neglected him his whole life.His hand shook. Bum was still looking away ashamed. Slowly Sangwoo took Bum’s hands into his, drawing circles on the back of them with his thumbs.“Bum.” Sangwoo’s voice broke. He received no answer.“Bum?” Sangwoo whined but still, the other was too overwhelmed to know how to react. Interpreting the silence as rejection, Sangwoo let his guard finally down. He didn’t care if he looked pathetic in this moment. He didn’t care that he couldn’t hold his perfect façade – which was sometimes two-faced but only Bum knew that – any longer. Right now he only cared about Bum. He squeezed Bum’s hand, hoping the latter would react in some way but when there was still no sign of Bum moving, Sangwoo leaned down, his forehead touching the side of Bum’s forehead.

He stared at the shorter male, hoping it would get his attention. When there was still no reaction, Sangwoo nuzzled his nose into Bum’s cheek, like a cat rubbing its head against its owner. He pushed and rubbed and tried to convey all his feelings through these gestures. His lips ghosted over Bum’s cheek, leaving a damp trace after whispering “Please, don’t leave me.” After that incident, they kind of returned to their normal day to day life. Sangwoo worked extra hours to pay the medical bills and insisted that Bum continued his therapy. Bum didn’t mention anything about him being unworthy or the likes, instead he did his best to show his gratitude by learning to cook new dishes, prepare the bath for Sangwoo after a long day and generally doing more chores.

Also, their touches became more: Arms brushing when going past the other, knees touching when sitting closer to each other on the couch, and more half-hugs from Sangwoo.“Bum, I’m home!”“I’m in the living room”, came the muffled answer.Sangwoo took of his shoes and walked into the living room, where he saw Bum folding the ironed laundry while watching the news on TV. The scene before him made him smile genuinely. It was so domestic. Everything he ever wanted was just right before him. Bum noticed Sangwoo spacing out and called out to him.“Sangwoo? What do you have there?” The taller man snapped out of his train of thoughts. He looked behind himself and smirked before approaching Bum, kneeling down on the floor next to him. His smirk widened as he saw Bum impatiently trying to see what was behind his back.“Patience, Bum.”

The black-haired man looked up with puppy eyes. Sangwoo snorted and pulled out an alpaca plushie from behind his back. Realising what Sangwoo held in his hands, Bum stared incredulously at the toy. He tilted his head in question and his roommate just chuckled, handing him the alpaca.“It’s for you. AND, before you say anything, it’s a present from me for all your efforts. You’ve started eating healthily again and even gained some weight! You also don’t look that pale anymore, even though you don’t go out much, you little vampire.” The blond male cupped Bum’s cheek with one hand while saying the last bit, chuckling. He smiled genuinely at Bum, who took the toy and petted it.

“And thank you for your hard work in the house.”

Bum looked up with teary eyes and just hugged the plushie tighter.

“Thank you, Sangwoo, I-“

“Shh.” Sangwoo placed a finger on Bum’s lips to silence him.

“I told you. It’s a present for your effort. You’ve earned it.” Bum still wasn’t convinced but Sangwoo was glad that he started to learn to value himself more.

“And the expenses?” Sangwoo shook his head in disbelief.

“That’s not for you to worry about, okay?” Bum just nodded.

“Good, then you have fun. I’m gonna shower for a bit. Can you already prepare the DVD? Thanks.”

Sangwoo was annoyed. He was more than annoyed, he could practically feel his blood boil. They were currently on the third movie of their movie-marathon-night and it was not how Sangwoo planned it. He worked extra hard to get off work in the afternoon to spend more time with Bum but the shorter man had other plans thanks to his new companion: Mr. Fuzzypants. At first, Sangwoo found it cute how attached Bum was to the plushie but to think that the stuff toy robbed him of his opportunity to be touchy-feely with his roommate while watching TV made him go mad. What should Sangwoo do in order to get rid of the alpaca that was sitting between him and Bum?

“Uh…. Bum, are you by any chance hungry?”

The shorter male looked at his friend.

“Are you? Do you want me to cook?”, Bum asked.

That was not, what he wanted.

“Uhm, how about the two of us cook? You do the chores all the time, so I can do it for a change.”

“I am not really that hungry.” What should he do? He wanted Bum’s attention.

“Yeah, well… Can’t you help me? You know I am useless in the kitchen.” The other just regarded his weird behaviour.

“Sangwoo, are you… Ashamed of not being able to cook?”

What?

“Uh…”

“You act kinda strange. It’s okay, you don’t have to feel ashamed. You are still a hero in my eyes.” That was not the case. Sangwoo wasn’t a gourmet chef but he could cook to keep himslef alive, but that didn’t matter. Seeing Bum’s glowing smiley face was a gift to him, so he didn’t care what the other thought about his cooking skills.

Pausing the movie, Bum stood up and held out his hand for Sangwoo to help him up. The taller man smirked.

“You know that I have more strength than you.”

Bum pouted and left for the kitchen.

“Hey!” Sangwoo stood up and followed his roommate, who was smiling to himself.

They decided to make lasagne. It was satiating and it took some time, so when it was done, they should already be hungry.

“Now we leave it for 30 minutes”, Bum said as he closed the oven door.

They sat back down and continued watching the movie. Thankfully the alpaca wasn’t in the way anymore, but he was still in Bum’s lap. Sangwoo was slowly getting sleepy – he did work hard on his job today –, when he felt Bum fidgeting next to him. He didn’t pay any attention, thinking the other’s leg must feel numb from sitting in the same position for too long. What he didn’t notice, was that Bum was staring at him with unsure eyes. Moving a bit closer and fidgeting more, Bum gained Sangwoo’s attention, who just looked down at the shorter male, oblivious to what the other was trying to tell him. Bum continued staring, earning a questioning look from Sangwoo. Insecurity found its way into Bum’s eyes but still, Sangwoo didn’t know what his friend might possibly want from him. Sighing, Bum just thought

fuck it

and went for it. He leaned up and kissed Sangwoo.

He overestimated the distance between them so he – unintentionally – forcefully slammed his lips into Sangwoo’s, unwillingly hurting the two of them in the process. It was just a peck and when Bum pulled back after getting no sign of rejection or acceptance, he anxiously watched Sangwoo’s stoic face. The latter needed a moment to process what had happened and then suddenly embraced the shorter male.

It was too much for the older. Tears started to form in his eyes but he didn’t want to show his emotions. He was overwhelmed with happiness and relief.

“I-I…hic…I like you, Sangwoo. I… like you a lot.” Sobs were leaving his slightly swollen lips as he hugged Sangwoo back, holding onto him as if his life depended on it.

“Shhh… Me too, Bum. Me too.” Just when Sangwoo pulled back to go in for a kiss, he jerked up.

“Fuck!” He suddenly stood up and ran into the kitchen. Needing a second, Bum realised that they forgot about the lasagne – which he could even smell in the living room – and also stormed to the kitchen. There Sangwoo stood with the burnt food, his hands trembling.

“Fuck!”, Sangwoo yelled and threw the dish into the sink, the sauce splattering across the counter.

“Sangwoo?” Bum asked worriedly. What angered his love?

“Shut it! It’s all my fault.” Exasperatedly he ran his fingers through his hair, while steadying himself with the other on the counter.

“Sangwoo, it’s just food. I can make something else quick.” The black-haired male approached the other, trying to calm him down but it was no use.

“No! This-this was meant to be perfect! And what am I doing? I’m doing everything wrong! First the plushie – I wanted you to swoon over me for getting you it, not that thing replacing me – and now I destroyed our moment and also burnt the food!” With each sentence his voice grew louder. Bum was taken aback. Sangwoo was jealous over a plushie? He knew Sangwoo did all he could to make Bum’s life easy and comfortable and he really appreciated, so why could he himself not see this?

“Sangwoo-“ Bum reached out for Sangwoo but his hand was slapped away. Before Bum could even react, Sangwoo took that hand into his and kissed it, whispering apologises against it.

“I’m so sorry, Bum! I didn’t want to hurt you. It’s- it’s all my fault. How-how can I even be your boyfriend, when I am not better than those assholes I’m trying to protect you from?”

Bum smiled sadly, pulled his hand away and embraced Sangwoo.

“You are a great boyfriend, Sangwoo. I’m happy to have you.”

“But… you know how my temper is.”

“I know”, Bum chuckled and rubbed Sangwoo’s back soothingly.

“I know and it’s okay, Sangwoo. You are okay. More than okay even.” Suddenly the shorter male had difficulties breathing because his now-boyfriend was hugging him too tight but he didn’t mind; he couldn’t be happier. And Sangwoo; he thought he couldn’t fall any harder for his beloved Bum than he already was.

Sangwoo was currently sitting on the couch, reading a magazine. It was his day off and he was lazing around, waiting for Bum, who was being late from his classes. He heard the front door open and even though he felt like running up to his cute little boyfriend, he kept from doing so. He still had an image of the cool superhero-boyfriend to maintain. Both he and Bum knew it was just to push his ego. Bum even told him he found it cute. Well, that was enough motivation to keep this up from time to time.

“Sorry that I’m late, Woo.” Bum was out of breath, seemingly running home. Sangwoo tried his best to act indifferent, skimming through his magazine while chewing on a cabanossi. He sat up, when Bum was sitting down next to him, still in his jacket.

“What are you doing?”, Sangwoo asked, his head tilting to the side, a habit he picked up from Bum.

His lover didn’t answer and just rummaged through his bag until he found a blue, fancy paper bag and handed it to Sangwoo, who took it with surprise written on his face.

“It’s for you. A present.” Sangwoo looked up, seeing the probably most beautiful smile on Bum he has ever seen on him. His eyes widened and quickly he took out a little plastic box form the bag. Staring at it, Sangwoo was too afraid of opening it but he also wanted to know what it was that Bum gave him.

Carefully he opened the box and inside was a ring. It was plain, with no engravings, but it still looked fancy. Looking up, searching for an answer on his boyfriend’s face, Sangwoo let out a small whine, which Bum nearly missed. The other looked embarrassed to the side, scratching his cheek.

“It’s a thank-you gift.”

Sangwoo didn’t understand.

“And… it’s a promise. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” He took a deep breath.

“And I promise you to always stay by your side.” Crying. That was what Sangwoo felt like doing right now but instead he just threw his arms around Bum.

“Thank you, Bumi.”

Bum smiled into Sangwoo’s shoulder. They stayed this way for a bit, both feeling comfort in the embrace and the silence. When they pulled back, Bum shyly said: “I thought that you wouldn’t be able to wear a ring at work, so I also bought you a necklace for it.”

“Bum…” Sangwoo leaned in to kiss his precious boyfriend.

“I love it. Put it on me?” Bum smiled, took the ring, pulled the necklace through it and put it on Sangwoo. The blond male took the accessory hanging from his neck between his fingers and regarded it. He closed his eyes and kissed it. Bum’s cheek turned slightly red from seeing the scene. Now Sangwoo looked straight into his eyes, his own filled with determination.

“And I promise you, to wear it on my finger one day. Together with you.”
