Without You {hwang hyunjin}

{ 1.10 }

We stay at Noraebang for an hour more than our original plan, I suggested for Jaemin to stay over the night and he in turn called one of his house buddies to tell him he'll be staying over mine. I also gave Nari a heads up which she in turn said that she was staying over at Hyunjin's place. We sigh, our throats hurting from all the songs we sang as we make our way to the bus stop with Jaemin sulking just a few steps behind me.

"Rip my card...you shall be missed." He pretends to cry and I roll my eyes at him.

"Stop being so dramatic Jaemin, just make sure you don't lose next time." I pat him on the back as we reach our destination. The next bus would be arriving in ten to fifteen minutes.

"Naeun why are you wearing my jacket?"

"You have a hoodie on Jaem, I'm borrowing it for now. Plus it's cosy and you know how much I like oversized clothes"

"You always say you'll give my clothes back but then you just end up keeping them for like how long." I chuckle at his once again complaining

"We both know that you really don't mind though since you also borrow your roommates' clothes AND I buy you new ones anyways to make up for the ones I stole."

"So you admit you steal my clothes then." I smirk, still looking down at my phone and not giving my best friend a reply though my smirk quickly turns into a frown as I shout out in frustration. 

"BISH DON'T VOTE FOR ME, I WAS IN CAMS ALL ALONG, I FINISHED ALL MY TASKS." Among Us is fun, don't get me wrong but sometimes crewmates end up voting for the wrong person. The words flash across the screen:

  Coffeenerd was not an imposter

I sigh as I put my phone away and I cross my arms in frustration. I hear Jaemin's footsteps coming towards me. My best friend pats me on the head, chuckling a bit.

"Awww cheer up Naeun, it's just a game." I pout, pulling down my bucket hat to hide my face.

"Hmph, it always happens. I always get voted wrongly out. It's not fair."

"Haha or maybe you're just bad at this game, good thing you want to own a food business and not become a lawyer."

"Oh shut up Nana." I playfully push him and we laugh at each other. Shortly after, the bus comes.

"Come on Eun-ah, we can play mario cart in your room and watch a kdrama later." I grin, my best friend knows me so well. He takes my hand and I happily cling onto him as we board the bus and sit in the back. I offer Jaemin my right ear bud and he happily obliges, putting on a random kpop playlist I saved. I lean on his shoulder as he leans on the window and we sit there, enjoying the passing scenery and quietly jamming out to Super Junior. Today was honestly a good day, and I enjoyed the comfort of my best friend. It was nice to relax and hang out and let my worries dissipate. I take a deep breath and exhale, not caring about past events and just enjoying this moment of comfort, peace and bliss.

"Wait wait, so you're telling me that the blonde guy says he sees the baker girl as just a friend but everyone else says otherwise?"

"Pretty much, yeah." I was resting against my headboard, with my knees up scrolling on my phone while Jaemin was on my floor hugging a random pillow, invested in the show playing on my tv.

"I- are you kidding me?!?! How oblivious and blind can he be!?!" One thing led to another and we somehow ended up watching Miraculous after an episode of Hotel Del Luna and Jaemin was a little too invested in the storyline. I already knew how the storyline went but rewatching it with Jaemin questioning everything and getting frustrated at certain characters was entertaining to see. Ok so I know I'm a little too old to watch a kid's show but Miraculous is my guilty pleasure and the episodes are cute, funny, chaotic, second- hand embarrassing, and frustrating at the same time.

"OH COME ON, HOW DOES ONE NOT SEE THE RANDOM SPARKLES COMING OUT FROM THE LOCKER, ARE ALL OF PARIS BLIND?!?" I laughed out loud, taking a video and sending it to my sister with the caption 'when your bestie rages over miraculous'.

"Ok ok Jaem, I think you've had enough." I turn off the tv afterwards and a sigh escapes from Jaemin.

"Thanks, anymore and I think I would've torn your pillow apart from me being infuriated." I chuckle as I get out two cold water bottles from my mini fridge and give one to Jaemin, joining him on the floor.

"Speaking of romance..." Jaemin trails off and looks at me with a knowingly smirk, causing me to almost choke on my drink- resulting in me spluttering drops of liquid through my nose.

"NOT funny Nana!" I playfully smack him across the head, crossing my arms and refusing to look at him. He chuckles.

"Ok ok, I'm sorry Eun-ah. I didn't mean to strike a nerve." I sigh in defeat, muttering to myself.

"Whatever, aight I'm heading to bed now. Night Jaem." I ruffle his hair as I get up.

"Naeun-?"

"Thanks for the day out Jaem, it was nice." He nods and sighs as a response.

"Well then, goodnight." He goes to turn off the lights and settles into his bed, a spare airbed we have for guests. I settle into my own bed, letting out a sigh after a long exhausting day. You'll be ok Naeun, you'll be ok...
