TW : mentioned death

Genre : boyfriend!au

Theme : fluff

Pairing : Seoho(Oneus) X Reader

Description : your life took a turn for the worse but he was there to comfort you under the moonlight.

You felt as if your life had hit rock bottom. If someone had told you three years ago that you were going to be left alone without a baby brother, you would've laughed and passed it off as a joke.

How ironic. You bitterly scoffed.

He was 6 at the time. Happy-go-lucky kinda kid, always found joy in every little thing he saw. He only witnessed a world so cruel to him through his innocent, pure eyes that looked like stars shining brightly amongst the abyss of the night sky. You loved him with all your heart.

Unfortunately, life hadn't been kind to him.

It started off as a normal day. You were fetching him from kindergarten just after your school had ended while your mother was at work. When he saw you from afar, he immediately ran out of the building to hug you. You smiled remembering how he was missing his two front teeth.

The happy memory however, ended there. Out of nowhere and not giving you enough time to react, a motorcycle rammed itself into your baby brother. The driver fled so the police had to rule the incident out as a hit-and-run case. Even then, you couldn't do anything for your brother. That changed you over the years.

It was now the third anniversary of his passing..and your mother was out partying. You understood that she was just trying to forget the pain of losing a son but you couldn't help but get angry at her for not being sober enough to even visit him.

You kicked the sand below you in frustration.

“What did that sand ever do to you?”, a soft voice rang through the quiet night with a hint of humour underneath it.

You placed on foot on the ground to stop yourself from swinging. The chains of the swing rattling against one another. You were at the park near your house. The place you'd always go to after visiting him. Of course Seoho would find you there alone.

“It's today, isn't it?”, his gentle voice sounded like a sweet lullaby as he took a seat at the empty swing next to you.

You simply nodded. You couldn't even bring yourself to say anything.

Your heart slightly fluttered at the warm touch of Seoho placing his fingers on your chin and turning it slowly so he that could see you. You imagined you looked like a mess. Your face was probably tear-stricken, your eyes were bloodshot red, and your nose was running like a waterfall.

You felt him gently cupping your face in his hands. His thumb rubbing circles on your cheeks to calm you down. At times like this, you were grateful that you had bumped into Seoho on the first day of college.

What started off as strangers proved to be something much more precious. His crescent-shaped eyes you saw whenever he smiled reminded you of the days when you would look up into the sky and reminisced your memories with your baby brother.

Even though you felt like life had hit rock bottom after losing him, being with someone who cared for you lifted the weight off your shoulders.

Slowly taking his hands off you, he gripped the chains of his swing and kicked the ground. You gazed at him as he swung rhythmically to the night breeze hitting your back.

Talking to the moon

Tryin' to get to you

In hopes you're on

The other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool

Who sits alone

Talking to the moon

As you listen to Seoho's melodious harmonies filling the park, your heart melted from the frustration you felt earlier. Looking up from him, you stared at the moon that illuminated the sky with its luminous glow. Overwhelming emotions were flooding your vision and at last, you dared to shed one last tear that was left rolling down your cheek.

“I love you, baby brother”

Bringing your mind back to Seoho who had long since stopped his singing. His eyes matched ones of comfort and warmth. You thought to yourself, this was where you belong.
