Seo Changbin • Haven ✔️

Chapter 36 - Eureka moment

Naya chuckled when sue looked at Miyoung and Eunji enjoying their karaoke song. She headed inside the kitchen to get a glass of water. Yuri was already there to get a snack before she would head back to the two oldest girls.

"Will you join us?" Naya shook her head when Yuri spoke up.

Of course, Naya loved karaoke as much as her friends loved it, but she was starting to get tired already. She didn't feel like joining, because she wanted to be alone for a bit.

"I'm going to head to bed. I still have a lot of sleep to catch up on."

As Yuri left Naya alone in the kitchen, the rapper took a glass from the cabinet to fill it with some tap water. She took it to her room where she e could still hear her friends having fun with their karaoke night. But that didn't really matter, even with the music hearable, Naya would easily fall asleep.

Naya took her phone from the side table so she could set an alarm to wake up to in the morning. That's when she was the message Changbin had send her.

Bin: Hi... Just wanted to check if you
are already sleeping
Bin: I can't really sleep right now

Naya: I was about to actually
Naya: The others are having a karaoke night

Bin: Karaoke nights are the best
Bin: So why aren't you joining them?
You love karaoke 

Naya: I have a lot of sleep to catch up on

Bin: Should I leave you alone then?
Bin: So you can sleep?

Naya: No, no, it's fine ^-^
Naya: But don't be surprised when I stop texting you

Bin: Then I'll know you've fallen asleep 
Bin: I know you long enough to know that already

Naya was relieved to know she was still able to be friends with Changbin. Though she was well aware that they still both had feelings for one another. She had a feeling they would never even disappear. And although they knew they were only friends right now, it sometimes felt like they were still in a relationship. However, Naya wasn't sure if that was a good thing.

For the rest of the night, Naya and Changbin were messaging back and forth. They talked about their day and about their plans for the rest of the week. Changbin kept telling Naya not to fall asleep on him even if he could get boring at times. She had to reassure him that he was never boring, knowing perfectly well that he was joking.

Eventually, Naya had fallen asleep right after the last message she send him.

The next morning, Naya was the first one to wake up. It didn't surprise her since she knew her friends were singing along to some karaoke for the whole night. So, now they would be the ones who had to catch up with their sleep.

While Naya prepared breakfast for her and her friends, she looked back at the messages of last night. She smiled, unaware Miyoung walked behind her.

"It's as if you two never even broke up." The rapper jumped up from her sudden presence as she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings.

"It's not a good idea we get back together. Or at least not now. Do I need to remind you we broke up because of the busy schedules not lining up together?"

Naya felt like she had to remind her friend. Miyoung just chuckled while she shook her head. 

"We're better off as friends. Friends don't always need to have time for each other." Miyoung didn't say anything else and left Naya alone in the kitchen so she could take a shower.

Naya sighed, realizing Miyoung had a point. The way she had been messaging Changbin and how he had reached out to her, made it seem like they never even broke up. But they could never get back together. At least not so soon. If their busy schedules were preventing them to hang out, they wouldn't be able to date again.

"I got an idea!" Miyoung appeared back inside the kitchen without even making a noise, already in her bathrobe.

"We need to find a way to have our schedules line up." Naya shook her head at how random and unreal the idea sounded to her.

"Okay, sorry. I'm going to take a shower first." Miyoung once again left the kitchen as Eunji walked inside.

"Is she supposed to be the oldest?" 

"She thinks we can have our schedule line up with the boys' schedule." Of course, Naya loved how her friends wanted to help her and Changbin get back together, but some things are better left behind.

"She has a great idea though. Anything to get you back together with Changbin."

Eunji: Miyoung came up with a brilliant idea
Eunji: Or at least Miyoung and I think it's one
while Naya thinks it's impossible

Chan: What's the idea?
Chan: And why is it so important, you want
me to know about it?

Eunji: Because this is about Naya and Changbin
Eunji: We need to find a way to fix the busy
schedule issue

Chan: So, you want to try and get them back
together?
Chan: I'm not sure if they want us to meddle

Eunji: We all know that if we don't do anything,
they will never get back together
Eunji: They are perfect for each other so it
would be a shame if we didn't at least try

Chan: I guess you have a point
Chan: We'll find a way

And so, the planning began.
