Minghao loved his job. The fact that he could design then model his own clothes was a dream come true, along with his fame and success, and his boyfriend and photographer, Junhui.
Or at least that's how he pictured it. It wasn't at all like this. His company had hired a new designer for Minghao, as they didn't like his, "style". The job gave him a hectic scheduled, and he barely had time to rest. Waking up at ungodly hours, and going to sleep nearly at sunrise. They monitored what he ate nearly 24/7, which was driving Minghao to the way of an eating disorder. But the cherry on top of this nightmare sundae, was Junhui. Him and Minghao had met through their first year at collage, doing shoots for fun together, in hopes for a dream like this, but not as horrible, to happen. Suddenly, like they were both shot by cupid with an arrow, they feel in love. Being close was easy at first, but the agency/company barely allowed them time together, only during photo shoots. Not many members of the company even knew, because their relationship could ruin their career, and they hadn't even spoke and come out about it yet. Jun remembered the day Minghao did, which he will never forgot.
Jun had already known he himself was gay, when he found himself checking out dudes rather than girls in high school, and the feeling only grew when he met the younger boy. He went about 2 years wondering what Minghao was, as he was so desperately in love with him. Minghao confused Junhui, to the point of madness. He couldn't figure him out. Until one night, at around 9pm, he came home late, and walked into the apartment to hear Minghao crying. He ran into Minghao's room and found him on the floor in distress, tears streaming down his face.
"Minghao........are you ok?"
The question was so obvious, as he wasn't, not in the slightest. But he didn't know what else to say, as he'd never seen the boy like this. Minghao couldn't stop tearing, not even enough for him to speak. Then Jun sat next to the boy, and wrapped his arms around him, comforting his small frame. This made Minghao feel so safe, his crying softened.
"What's the matter?"
"It's me."
"What about you?"
"I feel so lost. I'm so confused. Jun please help me."
"What is it hao?"
The nickname Jun gave him pulled on his heart.
"I-" He choked on his words.
"I think....
UH how do I say this...." Jun didn't say anything. He stayed will his hands on Minghao's shoulders, trying to comfort and hold him up, as he stood almost shaking.
"I..... I think I might be bisexual."
Jun had a small smile on his face when the words left Minghao's mouth. He nervously looked at Jun, when Jun's words were bleak, Minghao started tearing up again and tried to loosen from his grip, but Jun wouldn't let him. He gave Minghao the warmest hug he had ever felt.
Again, he felt that safety.
Minghao continued talking, saying now Jun's favorite phrase.
"And- I..... think I love you......"
"I love you too."
The two spent the night laying in Minghao's bed, with snacks and candy, wathcing a Comedy to lighten the mood. Minghao quickly fell asleep from the previous stress, and Jun covered him with blankets, before kissing his forehead, and whispering, "Goodnight."
Jun would do anything, anything for Minghao to stop. Stop putting himself down, and stop doubting himself. Minghao was an amazing attractive guy, and Junhui was boggled how he couldn't see that. Normally he felt like he could help the other boy with his confidence. By complimenting him, showing affection, or taking photos of him. But the elder never thought 1 photo would get them to where they are now.
It all started when the two were bored on a day in spring. Minghao had just bought some clothes and decided to would be fun to have a photo shoot. He normally had no trouble setting up his tripod, and taking pictues of hinself alone, but today was one of those not so normal days. He called the only person who he trusted in taking good photos, Junhui, and after a hour of clicking, the boys had decided on one they liked, and Minghao posted it on his Instagram. What they didn't expect was for the two to wake up so close to each other, and for the picture on Minghao's account to have almost 10,000 likes. Their new jobs had sky rocketed from there. The company that they were now in recruiting the two boys, pushing them for nearly all of their adds or products. It was chaos for the both of them, but more for Minghao. He was naturally thinner than most people, but that came in handy as a model. It didn't mean he didn't receive comments though. If Minghao could list how many times someones told him he shouldn't be modeling, or that he wasn't good looking enough, and all in between, he would need more paper. But he never thought this day would come. He was eating at the bar the company had set up that day, and after accidentally skipping breakfast, he was hungry. The boss come over and pulled Minghao aside, scolding him pretty loudly. He back back out and thew away his food. He was on the brim of tears before Jun grabbed his hand and walked them out of there.
"Jun stop!"
Minghao was already upset enough, but his biggest fear is being exposed as a couple, as it wasn't accepted in China. That was the last thing Minghao wanted. Jun on the other hand, seemed more okay about it. It wasn't that Minghao was nervous..... well....it was. He didn’t know what everyone would think or view him, and he'd rather keep it that way.
"Minghao... I need to talk to you."
Junhui sounded serious. He sounded like he had on the night they both confessed. His voice was so soft, yet it felt hard like sand paper.
