The taller man blushes at the compliment. Nobody has ever complimented him as a dancer. Let alone an amazing dancer. “I uhh… I don't think if others acknowledge me as a dancer. Or even as a normal person.”
“I mean, you're way astonishing to be just a normal person so...” The sunkissed man nonchalantly points and Jaehyun giggles.
“That was such a sweet remark, Donghyuck. But it doesn't change the reality.” A sad smile appeared on Jaehyun's face.
“Hey, hey Jae… Yes, the reality can't be changed and the reality is that you're really an independent and humble person. You see, people are people, they ain't so simple. One way or another, they will always find a way to drag down others. Their judgement doesn't define your worth. And surprisingly, you seem to be knowing your worth pretty well assuming your bold action to that poor man.”
Jaehyun couldn't control anymore and started openly laughing. “It's hard to tell if you're serious or you're joking.” He spoke as he held onto his laughter.
“Well, you can take it the way you like and I'll just let it flow with the vibe.”
“Oh gosh… You're undeniably entertaining.” The dancer compliments
“Only for your entertainment, Jae.” Donghyuck expressively purrs only to get panic after seeing Jaehyun making a confused expression. Maybe the latter noticed what he addressed him and maybe he didn't like it.
“Ahh, I'm sorry if you didn't like it. I won't call you that again just please don't slap me.” Donghyuck apologizes while shielding his hands in front in case Jaehyun would actually slap.
The shorter's dramatically cute behavior gave Jaehyun another crackle of giggle. “Don't worry. I won't. You can call me that, Donghyuck.” Jaehyun assures before a light tint came on his cheeks as he continued. “Besides, I like that. I like you.”
And that was when Jaehyun wanted either to be eaten by sky or swallowed by land. But none of them happened and he was still standing in front of the probably world's most captivating man.
Well, Jaehyun himself didn't know as to what had gotten onto him that he was feeling that way for Donghyuck when all his life he's been running away from all this feelings and affection stuff. He was not someone who tended to have so called friends let alone more than friends as he knew how fucked up the world was. And how sucked up the people were. Especially with people like him. So it was not surprising that Jaehyun chose to be on his own rather than having any unnecessary bonding but what was surprising that he didn't feel to follow his motives at this very moment.
The moment he was with Donghyuck. There was something about the grown yet young man. Maybe it was his welcoming aura. Or maybe it was his understandable personality. And to be honest, Jaehyun felt extremely great knowing that he finally met someone who understood him. Who didn't look down on him. Who appreciated him. Who appreciated his talent, over his body.
All those delighting perspectives were taking over Jaehyun's mind and heart for a man he just spent a span of five minutes with!
“Actually, it's been over an hour since we're here.”
Donghyuck's honey touch voice broke Jaehyun honey sweet thoughts and his face became as red as a pulpy tomato. “Oh…” He wonders to himself before smiling at the latter idiotically. “Oh, yeah! Now I should get going before the sun rises already.” He didn't really care about his lame joke. He just wanted to vanish already.
“Since it's me who got you late, it's my responsibility to drop you home safely.” Jaehyun widened his eyes and Donghyuck couldn't help but coo at his expression. “Don't worry, I don't have any unhealthy intentions. Besides, I wouldn't want to pick a fight against you. I wouldn't want to go home with a black eye.” He clarified and the taller male went into another laughing session.
“Alright then, let's just get home already.” Jaehyun smiles and accepts Donghyuck's forwarded hand. The sun kissed man led him to his car and his vehicle was just as elegant as him. Jaehyun wasn't really surprised with the sight.
They both got in the car with of course Donghyuck being the gentleman by opening the door for Jaehyun. The dancer just kept getting smitten and smitten.
“Where do you live, Jae? How far are we now?”
“Just a few blocks away. It's an apartment but I live in one of the flats. I mean, why would a single man need an entire apartment to live, right?” Darn Jaehyun's lame vocabulary.
“Oh… Is that an invitation?” Donghyuck asks mischievously and Jaehyun could only stare in utter embarrassment in response.
The mischievous man then started crackling lightly and Jaehyun was dumbfounded. “I'm just pulling your rosie nose, Jae.” Donghyuck purred and Jaehyun hid his face in embarrassment.
They then talked random things on their way. Sharing each other's hobbies and facts which raised the topic of family as well to which Jaehyun blandly replied as he had no family while Donghyuck just simply declared that he has a small and loving family and then ended the family topic right there not bothering to go deeply.
Jaehyun did want to ask if he said something wrong as to why Donghyuck was turning down the certain topic. But then he thought that it could be possible that Donghyuck wasn't talking much about family as Jaehyun was alone and maybe talking about that would make him feel uncomfortable? Gosh… Wasn't Donghyuck the gentlest man ever? Of course he was!
“Here we are. As you directed.” Donghyuck points when they reached their destination.
Jaehyun turned his face to look at the latter as he said, “Thanks once again, Donghyuck…” He stopped for a moment as if he was thinking of saying something further. Donghyuck raised his brow skeptically and it just made it harder for Jaehyun but he spilled nonetheless.
“Donghyuck, I... I mean you, will you come to the bar tomorrow?”
