juni catches on pretty quick, about a few hours since soobin had changed his lockscreen, leaning in behind him to whine directly in soobin's ear, "what's my face doing there, soobinnie?" soobin clutches his chest in surprise, but privately he thinks the quick tempo of his heart +
might be caused by something else entirely. brushing the thought aside, soobin grins instead, eyes scrunched into half-moons that has juni pouting even more. "i wanted to say it's because you look cute, but that might get to your head," he flicks juni's nose lightly then.
"so let's just say it's 'cause you look funny when you sleep." juni grabs soobin's finger, pretending to bite it in retaliation. "ack! okay, okay," soobin relents all too easily, just like he always does when it's juni. he angles his face so he can look at his hyung properly, +
his expression mellowing into something softer, sincere. "it reminded me of how it was back then," he confesses, slow and careful because he doesn't want juni to miss a single word. "when today felt like a tomorrow we could barely each, when sometimes all we could was hope."
soobin sees understanding dawn in juni's eyes, catches as he swallows the lump of emotion in his throat. "but seeing you work so tirelessly everyday was enough motivation for me, hyung. and i'll always be thankful for that." /for you/ he continues as an afterthought.
"thank you," soobin taps his phone so the image of juni sleeping lights up a portion of the dim room. "thank you to the 19 year old yeonjunnie for being my hope." there's a noise behind him, then suddenly juni's pressing his forehead at the back of soobin's head.
"geez," juni exhales, sounding close to tears. soobin stills, the room growing so quiet he swears he hears their hearts beating in sync. "you could've just said it's because i looked cute, soobinnie." soobin chuckles, eyes slipping shut to relish the moment. "okay, that too."
