Kitchen

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta couldn't help but giggle softly at the elders words. "Ah, is that so? Well, that's bound to happen eventually! I'm sure you'll become a better cook than me sooner or later. But I'm glad that you'll continue to stick by my side, thank you hyung~" Nodding, he gratefully took the tissue and dabbed at his eyes. "I'll try not to think about it!"

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung smiled and nodded "of course Yuta! You won't be able to get rid of me until I become a better cook than you are and even if that happens I'll still stick by you~" he said and looked at the younger "try not to think about the past okay? As much as you can" he said, handing the younger a tissue

@♥ Hwiyoung Quickly wiping his tears away, he sniffled once again, smiling slightly when the elder moved his bangs out of his eyes. "I don't cry very often, i guess that's pretty obvious though." Humming softly under his breath, he rested his head on the elders chest and nodded slowly. "That counts you too, hyung. I trust you a lot. Besides, we still have so many things to make together, I'm sure we'll make lots of good memories together." He said softly.

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung held Yuta tightly, rubbing his back soothingly "it's okay to cry Yuta" he said softly, reaching up to moves your bangs out of your eyes. "Mmh past is indeed the past but things like this never really goes away.. but those bad memories can be replaced with happy ones so spend as much time with people you trust to distract you from those bad memories" he said and pursed his lips

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta eagerly accepted the hug, burying his face in the crook of the elders neck as his body shook from his soft cries, his hands clutching onto him as if his life depended on it. Sniffling softly, he gently nuzzled the elder, a small pout on his lips. "I don't like to cry in front of others like this, it m-makes me feel weak. But you're an exception, h-hyung." He mumbled softly as he clung onto the elder. "The past is the past, I'm trying my best to focus on the present. But those memories are always haunting me every single day of my life.."

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung blinked as the younger took his hands. He bit his lower lip and squeezed his hands lightly as a comforting motion as he listened to the younger's story. Hwiyoung frowned and pulled the younger into a tight hug, rubbing his back soothingly "you never deserved that Yuta.. you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. No one deserves to be treated that way..." he said, his brows knitting together. "And if you need to cry let it out. It's not good to keep it bottled up inside you..."

@♥ Hwiyoung Taking a deep breath, he heaved a sigh before reaching his hands out to lace together with the elders, his gaze downcast. "No, you're my sweet potato buddy, so.. you should at least know a little bit, if not all. At least for now." Gripping his hands tightly, the younger then cleared his throat, tears already starting to fill his eyes. "To put it simply, the reason why I'm so broken now. I grew up in a very discriminatory area of Japan, where hybrids aren't accepted as citizens or even beings of society. My parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol, so I had to deal with their abuse while also dealing with the abuse from the outside world. Unluckily for me, my mother died when I was twelve, and in order for my father to keep up a steady income, he needed to do something to get some extra money. He- H-He sold me into ion." Squeezing the elders hands tightly, he sniffled softly and pressed them to his forehead as he choked back on his sobs. "I suffered so many beatings, punishments, m-miscarriages.. I finally escaped only less than a year ago, and thankfully I was welcomed into here with open arms."

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung smiled and looked at the younger "only if tot comfortable taking about it Yuta~" he said, looking at the other "if you're not comfortable talking about it, it's okay I won't ask further"

@♥ Hwiyoung Biting his lip, he nodded a bit and sighed. "I'll try, but it's hard to accept compliments." He mumbled softly, his face darkening slightly as he heaved yet another sigh and looked away. "Do you really wanna know, hyung?" He asked seriously, the ice cream long forgotten as he then glanced up at the elder. "Its not a very pretty story.."

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung smiled and nodded "well then he really does care about you~ just loosen up a bit and accept what he tells you okay?" He said and shook his head "nah~ you weren't boring me~ but I won't ask further if you don't want to go into details" he said and chewed on a piece of banana

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta nodded slowly, his finger tracing random patterns onto the table. "H-He knows a good amount, and he still never fails to compliment me and make me feel so loved, so.. wanted. It's amazing that someone so perfect and positive like him could ever love negative garbage like me." He mumbled under her breath, slowly taking a bite of banana and whipped cream with a quiet sigh. Shaking his head a little, he perked his head up and smiled a little. "Anyways, enough of that. I'm probably boring you, right?"

@♥ Nakamoto Yuta [] XD It's okieee it happens~

Hwiyoung hummed softly and looked at the younger "well.. I guess what I meant was.. does he know? I think he should know.. so that he understands the meaning behind your actions even if you do something 'stupid' as you call it~" he said and laughed a bit at the younger's attempt to change the subject and popped a piece of strawberry in his mouth

@♥ Hwiyoung (I COULD HAVE SWORN I RESPONDED TO THIS OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY- *gets down on knees and bows repeatedly* MIANHAEEEE)

Yuta glanced up at the elder, pout on his lips as he sighed quietly. "Yeah, you're right hyung.. I'm just scared of losing him if I do something stupid." He mumbled under his breath, his lips pursing at the elders question. "It's.. a long, painful story. No need to worry yourself over it, hyung. Ahhh, the ice cream is melting!" He suddenly squeaked to change the subject before he quickly grasped his spoon again and shoveled the ice cream soup left over in the bowl into his mouth.

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung pursed his lips and pouted "no one's perfect.. that's why you're naturally inclined to be attracted to someone completely opposite from you.." he said and smiled, looking up at the younger "it'll be fine. Did something happen in the past? Like.. something that got you broken??" he asked, looking at the younger with worry

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta sighed softly at the question and shook his head slowly. "I'm just so.. broken. He's the super glue in my life trying to mend me back together, but I just feel like I'm a burden on him. He's so positive, and I'm the exact opposite." Rubbing the back of his neck, he sighs softly and rests his forehead on the table, soft whines escaping his lips. "I wish I could be a better boyfriend for him.."

@Nakamoto Yuta [] it's okie~

Hwiyoung smiled and hummed "mmh I guess so~" he said, looking over at the younger "pushing him away? Why are you pushing him away?" he asked, tilting his head curiously as he popped a strawberry into his mouth and chewing it with a soft hum

@♥ Hwiyoung (EEK I THOUGHT I REPLIED IM SO SORRY BBY)

Yuta smiled widely as he listened to you, his eyes filled with interest before he nods slowly. "It's a good thing you made a move then, huh?" He hums, spooning a piece of banana into his mouth before shrugging. "Well, nothing wrong with still being head over heels for him, though i hope he's returning the love." The younger says quietly, his eyes having an almost faraway look as he stares blankly down at the bowl. "With Ten, I knew he was the one for me the moment I laid eyes upon him. But.. I just feel like I'm going to end up pushing him away. I'm scared.."

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung nodded and hummed "I've always thought it was a one way feeling.. since he was dating someone else and all.. but when they broke up I thought maybe it's now or never.. I didn't want to confess though cuz I didn't want our friendship to get awkward..." he said and pursed his lips "I guess it was... because even until now I'm still all head over heels for him.." he said with a soft blush

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta smiled softly and drummed his fingers on the table. "Did you? That's adorable~" He hummed softly before eating a large spoonful of ice cream. "How long have you two been together? Was it love at first sight for you?" He asked in genuine curiosity. Due to his past, he doesn't really know much about relationship things, or even general things.

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung giggled a bit at the younger's changed expression and nodded "mmh I see~ well.. Inseong is of course~" giggled and hums "although I did tell him I liked him way before he asked me to be his" he said with a soft blush

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta's eyes widened to the size of an owl's at the elders question, his cheeks turning redder than a cherry's. "D-Dominant? U-Um, d-definitely Ten.. I'm very shy and awkward and he's the exact opposite." He mumbles softly, tilting his head at the other before blinking. "What about in your relationship?"

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung giggled and hummed "who's the dominant one in the relationship?" He asked playfully, resting his chin on his palm as he looked up at the younger "I dont mean only ually but in general?"

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta rested his chin on his palm as he listened to the elder talk about his boyfriend, a smile making it's way to his lips as he nodded slowly. "I would hope he's nice. I'm sure he won't ever mistreat you, but if he ever happens to, just give your dongsaeng a call okay? I'll beat him up for you." He said with a calm nod before blushing slightly at the thought of the double date. "Y-Yeah, I'll ask my baby in advance also. I'm sure he'll love the idea though, he's pretty cheesy himself." The younger said with a soft giggle.

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung blinked and blushed lightly when the younger mentioned his boyfriend "well... I've liked him... ever since I first met him... he's a very cheesy one.. uh.. he's really nice~ I'm sure he'll be down for a double date but he's pretty busy so.. we would have to plan it in advance~"

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta laughed softly when the elder tried speaking again with a full mouth, his eyes forming rare half-crescents as he shook his head slowly. "Aish, my silly sweet potato buddy." He says with a grin as he pops another cherry into his mouth followed by a spoonful of ice cream. "So hyung, tell me about your boyfriend a little~" He said softly, trying to strike up a conversation with the elder.

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung giggled and nodded "mmh! weally!" he said, still chewing on the banana and strawberry pieces and swallowed them, his lips "eat as much as you want~" he added, watching the younger eat "cute~"

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta giggled and poked the elders forehead. "Yah, don't talk with your mouth full silly!" He said in a playful scolding voice, grinning when he said he could eat the cherries. "Can I really? Ahh, yay! I'll leave some for you though, just in case!" He said before taking another large mouthful, flinching and exclaiming something about a 'brain freeze!' after a little while.

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung blinked and giggled "nah~ I'm not~" he said, his mouth full of ice cream, bananas, strawberries, and chocolate "I don't really like cherries that much so you can have most of them~" he said with a slight mumble due to his mouth being full

@♥ Hwiyoung Yuta blinked innocently at the elder as he took another big bite of ice cream with a piece of strawberry and banana. "Adorable? I think you mean yourself hyung, there's no adorable on this body." He huffed under his breath, eating a cherry and then grinning. "Mm, these are the sweet cherries! My favoriteee~"

@Nakamoto Yuta Hwiyoung nodded and smiled "of course Yuta~" he said, watching the other eat happily "you're adorable~" he said as he himself took a bite, scooping up a piece of banana, some ice cream, and strawberry all together onto his spoon "mh so good~"
