Yuta woke up to the blaring of his alarm, he groaned and then stretched, feeling his back crack and pop pleasantly. He rolled over and tapped his phone, silencing the alarm. He sat up and rubbed at his eyes. Beside him, Jungwoo was still sound asleep, not fazed in the least by the worldâs most obnoxious alarm sound. His face was soft with sleep, hair messy with round cheeks, his lips pursed out as if asking for a kiss. Yuta leaned down and pecked his lips, his boyfriend smiling in his sleep, but not waking up.
The best part about graduating high school and moving on to college, was that he got to finally live with his boyfriend. Yuta had previously lived with his foreign exchange host family, and Jungwoo had lived next door with his family. When they found out they had been accepted into the same university, they decided that they would get an apartment near campus together. Yutaâs host family wasnât required to host him once he graduated, and he and Jungwoo were going to be together forever, so they were going to start their lives together as soon as they could. So, they got this little apartment near campus and moved in only a week after high school graduation.
They were both lucky enough to get scholarships, Jungwoo for being a mechanical engineering genius, and Yuta because heâd made the university soccer team. And that last reason was why he was even up so early in the morning during the summer. While he had already made the team, the university had sent them their summer conditioning schedules, and along with some other exercises and routines, every other day they had to go and run for miles. They would work up to a ten-mile run, but in the beginning here, they would be running two miles. This was something that Yuta was used to and wouldnât actually be that hard for him. But Jungwoo had decided that he would do the runs with him.
Jungwoo had played baseball growing up and all through high school but hadnât decided to try out for the university team. Yuta was sure that he would have made it, but he knew that at this point Jungwoo was burned out. He was smart enough to get a full-ride academic scholarship and didnât need to worry about the added pressure of a full-time collegiate sport while also doing one of the hardest courses there is. But Jungwoo had said that he still wanted to stay in shape, so he would be joining Yuta in at least his runs. At least the two-mile runs, Jungwoo had been very vocal in his desire to never run ten miles in one go ever.
Yuta leaned over and pressed a kiss to Jungwooâs cheek, âItâs time to wake up, baby.â
Jungwoo scrunched his face up but didnât move. Yuta chuckled, and kissed Jungwoo all over his face, wherever his lips could reach. He could tell that Jungwoo was close to waking up, starting to shake his head to both lean in to and away from Yutaâs kisses.
Yuta kept going, âSnoopy, wake up. Come on baby boy. Itâs morning already.â
Jungwoo groaned and opened one of his eyes, still blurry with sleep.
Yuta faked a gasp, âThere you are pretty, wake up for me.â
Jungwoo smiled and leaned towards him, finally kissing Yuta on the lips, âGood morning hyung,â he murmured.
âGood morning baby, itâs time for you to get up. We have to go do our run.â
Jungwoo groaned but reached his arms out to stretch, committing to waking up. He finished the stretch with a sigh and sat up. He pouted as he blinked out the sunlight from the open blinds. Yuta smiled at him and leaned forward, pecking him right on the pout.
âGet up, the longer we wait the hotter itâll get.â
That got Jungwoo out of bed. Sure, running first thing in the morning wasnât very fun, but running in the humid heat was worse. He rolled out of bed and went straight to their dresser pulling out his running clothes. Yuta followed behind him and pulled his own clothes out, changing as quickly as he could. Yuta finished before Jungwoo, but that was to be expected, Jungwooâs limbs were still sluggish with sleep. He left Jungwoo to continue getting ready and made them protein shakes. Running on an empty stomach wasnât great but running on a full stomach could be just as awful, so a protein shake was the perfect middle. He sipped at his shake as Jungwoo came in, pulling up one of his socks. Yuta handed Jungwoo a shake, and he took it with a smile. Jungwoo leaned into him, and Yuta wrapped an arm around his waist as they sipped on them.
They finished their shakes and set the empty glasses in the sink. They slipped their shoes on and Yuta made sure that Jungwooâs shoes were tied correctly, not too tightly, where two fingers could fit easily under the tied laces. Any tighter and it would be painful after a while, so it was important to do it right.
Jungwoo smiled at him as he stood up, âThank you, hyung.â
Yuta smiled back at him and kissed his cheek, âOf course baby, now letâs go.â
They grabbed water bottles from the fridge and left their apartment. Just a short walk from their complex was a park. It was a large park with a running path and trees that bordered the pathway that kept it shaded. It was the perfect place to go for a long run. They set their water bottles under a bench where they would be kept safe and started to stretch. And then, they began their run.
The run was easy enough for Yuta, he was used to running much more than just two miles, so he was feeling good. Jungwoo was a little way behind him, but Yuta knew that he would catch up soon. He may not have been the most used to running this sort of distance, but he didnât like to be left behind, so no matter how tired he was, Yuta knew he would be able to catch up.
By the time they finished the sun was out at full force and beating down on them. Yuta was dripping sweat and from the look of him, Jungwoo was too. Jungwoo had collapsed onto the bench with a pout as soon as they finished. Yuta chuckled and sat down beside him, handing him his water bottle. Jungwoo took it and drank from it but was still pouting when he pulled away.
Yuta chuckled, wrapping an arm around Jungwooâs shoulders, âWhat do you need baby?â
Jungwoo shrugged his arm off, but before Yuta could be offended, he said, âItâs too hot out. I want ice cream, and a shower, and kisses.â
âIn that order?â
Jungwoo shrugged, âOne kiss now, then ice cream, then a shower, and them more kisses.â
Yuta leaned in to oblige, kissing Jungwoo softly on the lips. It was slightly salty, but Yuta didnât care, nibbling slightly at Jungwooâs bottom lip. Jungwoo giggled as he pulled away, wrapping his arms around one of Yutaâs arms.
âIce cream now,â Jungwoo said, pulling him towards the ice cream shop across the street.
Yuta followed along and opened the door of the ice cream shop, sighing happily as the air conditioning from the store blasted them when they opened the door. Jungwoo let go of him and rushed to the counter, ordering before Yuta could even take a step inside. Yuta chuckled and joined him at the counter, back hugging him as he added his order to Jungwooâs.
By the way Jungwoo sagged into his hold, Yuta knew they would be taking their ice cream to go. He could already tell how badly Jungwoo wanted to get back to the comfort of their apartment, where he could get clean and fall back into bed before he had to actually start his day.
He paid and took their ice cream from the worker, thanking the worker. He handed Jungwoo his ice cream who thanked him with a silent kiss to the jaw. Yuta lead Jungwoo out of the shop as they began to eat their ice cream and walk back to their apartment. Jungwoo laced their fingers together and swung their arms as they walked. Jungwoo licked happily at his ice cream cone, and Yuta smiled as he watched him.
They finished by the time they got back to their apartment. They were quiet as they rode the elevator up, Jungwoo wrapped under Yutaâs arms. He hummed as they rode, Yuta occasionally kissing the back of Jungwooâs hands. Jungwoo swayed in Yutaâs hold to the tune of his own humming. Yuta kissed the back of Jungwooâs neck, tongue tasting salt once again. Jungwoo giggled and tilted his head back, shivering at the feel of Yutaâs lips on his skin. Yuta continued to kiss up his neck and to his jaw, rubbing his head against Jungwooâs sweaty hair.
The door opened and Jungwoo pulled him out of the elevator. Yuta unlocked their door and the second they were inside, Jungwoo started stripping himself of his clothes. The clothes ended up all over the floor, Jungwoo not caring where he dropped them in his haste to get in the shower. Jungwoo disappeared around the corner and the sound of the shower turning on soon followed. Yuta shook his head and closed the door behind him. He walked towards their bedroom, picking up Jungwooâs discarded clothes from the clothes as he went.
Jungwoo stuck his head out the bathroom door with a sly smirk, âAre you going to join me or what?â
Yuta grinned and dropped the clothes to the floor. He had promised his boyfriend kisses after all.
