..[34]..

"Hello?" Jeongin answered his phone that was ringing beside him not even bothering to look at the contact.

He lay on his stomach on his bed, writing accidentals and adding the dynamics he would like in the piano piece he was learning at the moment. His socked feet stuck up in the air behind him, kicking back and forth every now and again.

"Hey, it's chan. You didn't call me." The blonde lay upside down on his couch, getting a fat headache from the position but staying nonetheless.

"Oh," He said softly, feeling like he was calling to tell him he never wanted to see him again "I'm sorry, I meant to call you this morning after I left jisung hyungs house but I got caught up with my music"

He figured he owed him an explanation for not calling him after their rather dramatic parting.

"That's okay," The older replied softly

"I'm sorry for whatever I did by the way. We don't have to be anything more than what we are I just was curious is all.." He paused, preparing himself not to cry if chan decided that he wanted it "or we don't have to see each other anymore at all if that's why you're calling..."

"Hey, you didn't make me mad. I just kind of freaked out because relationships make me nervous" He lied once again to the boy. " And I wouldn't be calling if I didn't want something with you "

In all honesty relationships probably scared chan the most out of the two. Having had his parents ripped from his grasp and his sister not long after, it mad him afraid to get close. The closest people are the ones that hurt you most. Chan learned that quickly having the relationship with hyunjin. Another thing that chan learned was that hurt people, hurt people. Everyone knew that.

The younger sighed out in relief at that.

"Don't worry about it. We don't have to rush anything." Jeongin said softly, drawing a small f for forte in one of the measures of the song. "I'll still be happy either way. It can just be us. No labels no anything because I don't want to make you uncomfortable.. "

"Yes, but I understand that you have to be happy, too. Your happiness is just as important as mine"

"Then let's just make each other happy by respecting each other."

Chan hummed in agreement that they should respect each other.

"Oh speaking of my happiness, innie. When are you free next?"

"I have piano lessons tomorrow because I have a recital coming up but I don't think I have anything the next day. Why?"

"What do you mean why? You promised me a date!"

Jeongin had totally forgotten about their date. Part of him was excited but the other made him really nervous. He had never been on a date before so he'd have to call jisung over to help him get ready.

"You went quiet.. " The older comments after jeongin didn't say anything for at least thirty seconds

"Oh! Yeah our date, of course! I can't wait" He tried to stay calm but really he was beaming.

"Good.. Dress comfortably okay? Dont go too extravagant with your clothes" The blonde teased, finally moving from his upside down position and resulting to laying on the floor beside the couch.

"I wont," The younger said, his smile still not fading "but where are we going?"

"That part is a surprise!"

"A surprise?"

Chan hummed as a yes before saying:

"You can't know until we get there~"

"Ughhh fine.. "

From chans side of the line, jeongin could hear banging in the distance and was wondering what it was. When he went to ask he was interrupted by Chan saying

"Okay, well I have to go before Changbin in kicks my door down!"

"Okay, hyung.. Everything is okay with us right? No more fighting?"

"We never fought baby," He answered so sweetly "Yes everything is okay with us so don't worry.. "

"Good.. I l-" Jeongin stopped, realizing what he was about to say to the older, it being a habit when he was on the phone with jisung "I'll see you in a few days"

"I'll text you later, bye innie"

Jeongin hung up the phone, covering his blushing cheeks even though he was alone. He fell face first into his papers and screamed into them feeling so happy he had to express it.

He finally calmed down and grabbed his phone to text jisung to tell him the exciting news and froze when a notification showed up. It was more in a way of confusion but he froze nevertheless.

Kim.Seungmin has invited you to chat...

Seungmin hadn't ever followed him back after their incident with his parents. They had barely even seen each other since then, much less even talked.

He put his phone down, deciding to deal with it later and focus on his work instead. That notification still boring into his head.
