chapter [25]

Jisung's everyday life without Minho definitely wasn't the same but it was a lot less stressful for now... although Jisung didn't know if he liked that or not. It would only be 3 months anyway and until then he'd have enough time to recover a bit both physically and mentally.
Additionally, he wouldn't have to work for another month so he was basically free.
From the first day forward the others had assured him that they'd make sure he didn't feel lonely so every day he'd meet at least one of them for a short time or the whole day.

Something that was definitely memorable was when Jisung went to a theme park together with Chan, Changbin and Felix. Him and the oldest were constantly third wheeling together while the couple enjoyed their time together.
Jisung didn't mind that though. It was especially nice going out with Chan for something else than therapy for once because usually Jisung couldn't handle crowded places well... but Chan just gave of that vibe that made you immediately feel safe and relaxed.
'How does a human being like this even exist?' Jisung had wondered about that many times but the answer would probably never come.
Chan was just an angel that someone must have sent him. Well, most of the time at least.

After the first week Jisung started noticing that he already felt a tiny bit better than usual. Getting up and dressing himself alone was still difficult with his injuries but he could manage. When the boy was about to grab his jacked from the closet a dark blue piece of cloth fell on his feet... it was Minho's scarf.

'I wonder what he's doing right now." Jisung though imagining what living in the US would be like for Minho right now.
Deep in thoughts he stared at his phone. It's only been one week but he already felt the urge to hear the older's voice again. Did he really grow attached to Minho that much? He didn't even have his number...

It was like fate when exactly in that moment the boy's phone started ringing loudly. Confused, Jisung looked at the number that was unknown to him. Should he pick up?
Maybe... just maybe...
Jisung was about to press the green button when he stopped himself.
'No... this is delusional thinking. Why would Minho call me now? This is probably a promotional call...'

With a sigh he declined the call and put his phone back in his pocket.
He promised Hyunjin to meet him at the dog park today to go play with Kkami, Hyunjin's dog. Of course, Jisung would never say no to that for several reasons. First, because Hyunjin was an important friend and since he had a busy schedule it was difficult finding a time where both of them were free and second, because he loved dogs.

After thinking for a short while Jisung actually grabbed the scarf and wrapped it around his neck.
'Especially wear it when Hyunjin is around...' Minho had said that to him and even if it was probably a joke Jisung didn't see a reason to not wear it today.

Then he got on his wheelchair and was about to go outside when the same number called again.
Sighing Jisung finally picked up even if he was nervous about it. He'd just decline again if it was something weird.

"Jisung?"

The person on the phone asked and the said boy didn't need more than a second to recognize Minho's voice.
'How? Why is he calling me?' He wondered but couldn't deny the emotion of excitement that this was causing him.

"Y- yes?" He answered and waited for the older to explain himself.

"I... uhm... just wanted to make sure that nobody touches my stuff..." He answered a little weirdly but Jisung didn't think anything of it.

"No w- worries. Everything... is in place." Jisung answered with a smile although he couldn't remember why he did that.
'Why is this so awkward?'
