11. Birthday Wish

Changsub's POV

"Jinyoung-ah," Changsub said as he walked towards his friend.

"Oh, Changsub-ah, you're finally here," Jinyoung smiled at him.

He stopped for a moment as he didn't notice that he was talking to someone in the car, "Sorry," he muttered.

"We will go now," he heard a guy said.

Jinyoung smiled as he waved at them.

"Who are they?"

"One of my teachers. He picked up a friend here who will apply at my school. She's beautiful," Jinyoung shrugged.

Changsub pretended to be surprised, "Honestly. Since when did you not say that a woman is beautiful?"

"Every woman is beautiful. What took you so long?"

"I was waiting for your text. I didn't where you were so I walked around. The place still looks the same."

"Yeah. Only people change," Jinyoung smiled, "How are you doing?"

"I'm... I'm not at my best but I'll be fine," Changsub sighed.

"You will be," he assured him as he tapped his shoulder, "Is this what Kibum gave you?"

"Yeah," He checked his watch and it's already past midnight, "Why would Kibum booked a night flight."

"He didn't say the reason why?" Jinyoung walked and he followed.

"He just wanted to tease me?"

He stopped and faced Changsub, "Bro, Happy birthday."

"What-" Changsub scoffed, "Oh, really?"

"Yes. You are really lost, aren't you?"

Changsub always wanted to do celebrations especially on his birthday. He was surprised himself that he forgot about his birthday.

He didn't even bother to look at the date on his plane ticket or on his phone. What he just wanted was to leave the place where his wife is.

"Now that I think of it, I found it odd that Solar treated us on a dinner and... Kibum gave me this," he laughed as he looked at his hoodie, "I even called Joohyun."

"And I'm guessing she didn't greet you, huh?"

"Why would she?"

Jinyoung opened the car. They both got in and he sighed, "Where am I going?"

"I'm going to drop you to where you are staying," Jinyoung started the engine.

"I mean... In my life."

"That's hard to answer. But that's the reason why you're here, right? To start somewhere and start something."

"Yeah, sure."

There was a moment of silence before Jinyoung spoke again, "Are you tired?"

Changsub stretched his right arm, "Not really. Though my shoulder hurts a bit."

"Why? By punching Minho?"

Another moment of silence before they laughed, "I wished that was the reason. A woman who was seated beside me was really scared I had to offer her comfort."

"Comfort? That's new. And woman? That's good news."

"It was just a one-time encounter and I am sure I won't see her again."

"But you know the countryside's small. It's not impossible not to know anyone here."

Changsub nodded unconsciously.
