Blood still stains when the sheets are washed.

A soft knock on the door was heard throughout the bedroom. Jeongin opened his eyes only to see Chan standing the worh a mug in his hand, and a small smile on his face.

"You fell asleep..how are you doing?" Chan asked as he walked towards Jeongin who was laying on the bed.

"Could've been worse" Jeongin responded as he sat upright, hiding his head due to the now fading headache.

Another wide grin appeared on the older's face as he sat down on the side of the bed, looking at the younger.

"I bought some painkillers.." Chan informed as he passed a two pills to the younger.

Jeongin just smiled and took them.

Memories from earlier and yesterday once again flushed his mind. He couldn't help but to look at Chan with apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry".

"You apologised enough, don't put so much weight on you're shoulder...you were high after all. And it was my mistake for yelling at you knowing it would and wouldn't have an affect on you. You were high after all" Chan exclaimed as he continued ruffling the younger's hair.

"So you don't hate?" Jeongin asked.

"No..I was just mad, disappointed and hurt....but at least let's throw those memories into the trash bin" Chan replied as he spoke softly, making Jeongin feel more at ease. After all, Jeongin had been crying the whole night and day.

Jeongin simply gave nod as he swallowed the painkillers easily before laying back down.

The silent atmosphere was tense, and both could feel how they just wanted to talk or atleast communicate with each other.

Jeongin just stared up in the ceiling. A soft smile appeared on his face as he thought about Chan who he simply could just look at since he was right beside him.

But after all that happened it would be viewed as weird.

"What are you thinking about?" Chan asked, leaning a bit back against the headboard.

"You" the younger answered simply as he glanced at the older, not missing the soft red tint on his cheeks.

"A-are you hungry?..." Chan muttered, trying to change to subject.

"Sure..".

..........

They both were currently eating in silence. Jeongin took his time to fully analyze his surroundings. Much had changed since last time he was here.

Even though Jeongin felt rather uncomfortable with the silence he was just happy Chan was beside him, that was all that really mattered to him at the moment.

"So....." Chan caught Jeongin's attention as he began speaking, chewing his food done before proceeding to speak.

"You're 18 now...." Chan spoke as he tried to start some sort of conversation between them.

Though Jeongin thought for awhile about his answer.

"It.....feels weird" Jeongin finally replied as he tried shaking off the weird feeling of finally being 18.

A soft chuckle was heard from Chan as he shook his head.

"Remember that day we first met?" Chan spoke as he took another bite from his food.

Jeongin's cheeks became red tinted just thinking about it. He remember how he wanted to remember him, to be with him again. And he was just happy he got a second chance.

"Y-yeah....the best day of my life..." Jeongin spoke as he mumbled the last few words, but Chan heard it and smiled brightly.

"Cute..".

"W-what?".

"You're cute".

Jeongin blushed st the compliment as he held his cheek, staring into nothing.

It once again got silent. Both Jeongin and Chan focused on eating. Though both could feel the soft tension in the air.

"How have you been?" Jeongin asked.

Chan stopped his movements as he tried to think back at how he was doing back then to now.

"It's been hard....I missed you a lot...I actually canceled a meeting when I heard you were at my apartment...yelling and crying" Chan spoke as he closed his eyes. He really did miss the younger.

And it took a lot to hold back the urge to just hug him and kiss him, calling him his baby. But he didn't want to scare the younger away.

"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble.." Jeongin spoke lowered his head with a small pout.

"What can I do to make it better again?" Jeongin asked as he looked back up but didn't see Chan there.

He felt a pair of arms hug him from behind, as he felt something rest his shoulder..it was of course Chan.

"How about we continue this the way it all started?".
