열하나

"You've been hanging around with Yura noona a lot lately." Sunwoo speaks in a low voice, not wanting to disturb the people in the study cafe. Changmin hummed in response without lifting his face from his laptop screen.

"do you like her?" Sunwoo wiggles his eyebrows, smirking at the older boy.

"what?! no!" Changmin raises his voice making Sunwoo's eyes widened as he put his index finger on his mouth signalling him to slow his voice down.

Changmin bites his lower lips as he turns around to see people looking at their table. he bows his head, mouthing an 'i'm sorry' and turns around again to face Sunwoo, shooting a glare.

"fine, you don't have to shout." the younger said.

"you two look good together though." he added, lips formed into a grin.

"whatever." Changmin sigh, shaking his hand as he continues doing his assignment on his laptop. Sunwoo clicked his tongue hearing Changmin's nonchalant remark as he continues on his assignment as well.

after hours of spending their time on their assignment in the study cafe, the two packed their things up to go home since the sky are already darkened.

As the two walk together in the neighbourhood,  Changmin's phone 'ding' as he fishes it out from his jeans pocket to check the message.

"Yura noona again?" Sunwoo questions, peeking through Changmin's phone screen and Changmin nods. Sighing, he put his phone back into his pocket.

"If you don't like her, then why do you accept her offer every time? You're getting her hopes up."

Hearing the question coming from the younger's mouth, he fell silent, mind searching for an answer but then, he shrugs.

"My mouth just.. can't seem to say no."

—————

Yura press the bell of Changmin's studio apartment unit as she presses her lips, waiting for the door to open.

As they were no response, she presses the bell once again and the door finally opened, revealing Changmin who was drying his wet hair using a towel.

He looks at the smiling girl with knitted eyebrows.

"How do you know my house?"

"Sunwoo told me." Yura said, casually sliding herself into his house as Changmin's eyes widened.

"Hey- ugh Kim Sunwoo that kid." Changmin groan, cursing the younger under his breath, closing the door.

"Your house is so cozy!" She exclaimed, looking around the small yet comfortable space of his studio apartment.

"It's cute.. like you." She turns her head to Changmin and grins. Changmin rolls his eyes.

Yura's eyes wanders around again and her gaze fell onto the chucky doll on his couch. She let out a low gasp and jog towards it.

"You have this?!" Hugging the creepy looking doll, she looks at Changmin with sparkly eyes and Changmin raises her eyebrows in confusion.

"You're not scared of it?"

"Why would i? It's cute!" Yura said, hugging the doll tightly, playing with it's hair.

"It's just.. Sunwoo and Chanhee said it looks terrifying. They scream every time they see it." Changmin scratch his nape, unknowingly smiles at Yura's comments.

"What are you doing here anyway?" He questions, looking down on the girl who was sitting on the couch, still hugging the chucky doll and she grins.

"Let's go out for a walk." She answers and as Changmin raises his right eyebrow.

"That's it? Why don't you just ask Juyeon?" he frowns, hearing her answer.

"i just want to spend some times with you. you know.. cause i like you and all." A wide grins plastered on Yura's face as Changmin rolls his eyes.

"wasn't last weekend enough?" Changmin walk to his fridge, taking out a bottle of mineral water, gulping down the content after he opened the cap.

"nope." she said shortly popping the p and sheepishly smiles in which Changmin reply with a heavy sigh.

"i'm busy."

"you don't look busy though." Yura said almost immediately making Changmin groans.

"fine!"

—————

kids laughter filling the air as the two walk through the park with a cone of ice cream- which is almost finish in their hand, seeing kids playing around here and there, parents keeping their eyes on their children while they play.

Wearing a smile on her face, Yura looks around the park, watching kids playing around with their friends happily. She took the last bite of her ice cream cone.

how good is it to be in that age. doesn't need to worry about anything.

Then, her eyes fell on a family of three. The father's blowing bubbles as the daughter chase it, popping every bubbles she sees and the mother's holding a camera- probably recording the happy scene.

Yura's bright smile were replaced with a sad one and she tore her gaze from the family. She continue walking with Changmin next to her who didn't utter a single word ever since.

"i miss mom and dad." Yura let out a sigh. hanging her head low, kicking some small stones she saw.

"what's with you?" Changmin asks when his gaze fell on Yura and she rakes her eyes to the boy. She shakes her head and faked a smile.

"okay.." he trailed off, slowly diverting his gaze from the girl. Yura clears her throat.

"can you walk me home?"

"suddenly?" Changmin raises his brows, staring at Yura who was still wearing her small smile and she nods.

without questioning, Changmin agrees to walk her home when he saw the look in her eyes. He wonders why.

—————

the wind blows lightly that evening, hitting Changmin's face once in a while making his hair turns messy as he softly brush his bangs using his fingers.

He walk aimlessly around the streets, passing by few shops, not wanting to go home just yet.

With his AirPod plugged into his ears, listening to random songs in his playlist, he fishes out his phone from his pocket.

lifting it up in the air, he took a picture of the light orange sky. His lips formed into a small smile, satisfied at the picture he just took.

His eyes glued on his phone, editing random pictures in his gallery, ignoring people around him but not until his shoulder bumped into someone.

He quickly bow at the person, muttering a soft 'i'm sorry' as the person did the same. Both of them lift their face and their eyes met making Changmin frown.
