•••

wonwoo and minghao loudly enter their apartment after seeing vernon off with seungkwan. the three went out just as a fun opportunity to take pictures at the park while the leaves are still brown. they ended up eating a hearty dinner and now, best friends wonwoo and minghao are laughing about something vernon brought up that seungkwan made jokes about.

wonwoo hears minghao drop the keys in their bowl as he throws his overcoat on the arm of the couch, sinking into the corner with a content smile. minghao walks over and sighs in fake disapproval before taking the coat and hanging it up where it's supposed to be. wonwoo's smile goes from ear to ear.

"i'll go shower first!" he jumps, rushing to the bathrooms. minghao drunkenly laughs and wonwoo practically hears him shaking his head. he just knows his habits like that.

after his warm shower, wonwoo sits in his room and blankly stares at the wall opposite his bed. he remembers minghao mentioned wanting to paint a mural on it one day. he just hasn't gotten to it yet.

one day...

wonwoo sighs. why do the words 'one day' feel like they have such a significance? do they? wonwoo feels like it connects to minghao. more than the painting or the mural, something else entirely... what was it?

the shower stops going and wonwoo hears minghao shuffle around outside, turning off the lights as he heads to his own room. minghao's voice floats in through the gaps in the door, "goodnight!" wonwoo reacts too slow and minghao's door already shuts.

one day...?

it crashes into wonwoo like a wave. he feels his eyes prick with tears but a blink hides them again. he scrambles for his phone to text someone.

"seokmin-ah," he types frantically. "i need help. it's about myungho." he anxiously waits, but he doesn't have to for long because seokmin comes online, "is he okay?? are you okay??" he sends. wonwoo rolls his eyes, "YES! it's me. i..."

he pauses. "is it normal to think about your best friend this much?" seokmin has read his message but he doesn't say anything. he must be processing this too.

"what do you think about?" he finally asks.

wonwoo thinks hard, "well, especially today... i thought his outfit looked so cool, his hair was done so cool too. i thought he was so funny, his laugh made me laugh. i thought about how he makes me feel so much happiness and warmth every day, i can't imagine a day without him living here in my life,"

he isn't done but seokmin has already sent a reaction image.

"hyung you must be in love with him."

it hits wonwoo like a ton of bricks. him? in love with minghao? that's not possible.

"no way..." wonwoo slowly types out. seokmin sent a sad face, "i think so, hyung." wonwoo asks what seokmin thought about the phrase 'one day'. after confusion, seokmin gives it a think and comes back to wonwoo with a possible answer.

"considering this new information of you possibly liking myungho, i'd say your subconscious has already planted the idea of a 'one day' in your mind where you and myungho would get together," he says, followed by a side eye emoji. wonwoo simply replies, "oh my god".

did he?

he stares at his blank wall again.

now he stares at the wood of minghao's door, only his back being illuminated by the white blaze of his room light. he doesn't know if the younger is sleeping or not but he wants to try anyway. he doesn't think he can sleep with all these thoughts in his head. three knocks lets wonwoo into minghao's personal space.
