it was a few days later when jongho's next letter to yeosang arrived. the boy was elated to receive another letter, and he was excited to read its contents.

he read through the long letter quickly, his eyes freezing on one phrase towards the end.

thank you for being so kind to me, kang. your words and stories bring me more comfort than you know. i just hope i can do the same for you.

- choi jh

bringing the younger comfort had been yeosang's goal, and knowing he had succeeded excited the boy. he quickly got to writing his next letter when he heard his phone go off, seonghwa's name appearing on the screen with a text attached.

seonghwa
hi yeosang :) how are you
doing today???

yeosang
i'm good :) hbu?

seonghwa
wow ur quick! i didn't expect
a response right away lol

before yeosang could text back, a bunch of other texts flooded in, a group chat had been made, overwhelming yeosang while he tried to respond to seonghwa.

seonghwa

wooyoung

yeosang left the group chat quickly and took a couple deep breaths before going back to texting seonghwa.

yeosang
thank you hwa

seonghwa
i knew the second i saw that he made
a gc that was what was keeping u from
answering :)

yeosang
i really appreciate it though
thank you

seonghwa
its no problem sangie :) i don't
want you to ever be uncomfortable
around me, okay??

yeosang
okay :)

seonghwa
i know u probably don't want to
but would u maybe want to come
and hang out? or i can come to you

yeosang
maybe in a few hours???? i'm
still really overwhelmed right now
& i don't know if i can handle going
out atm

seonghwa
that's perfectly fine

if you end up not wanting to go
today that's also fine, okay?
i want you comfortable

yeosang
thank you so much :)

seonghwa
i'll text u later?

yeosang
okay :)

yeosang locked his phone and smiled, then went back to writing and suddenly got an idea.

i was wondering if maybe, you wanted to exchange numbers so that we can text instead of waiting until our letters get to each other. we can still send letters too, but that way i don't feel as annoying when i have something i really want to tell you.

does that sound okay???

i don't want to send my number just yet in case you don't want to, but just let me know!

- kang y.

yeosang smiled and folded up the now completed letter, taking a deep breath and placing the letter in the envelope. he felt braver than he had ever felt before.

and now, all he could do was wait.
