🏡Attention

Riki covers his face with a pillow.

He couldn't sleep.

He wanted to turn to his other side but his wound is still aching.

He could hear Seonwoo from the other room. He was doing something, walking here and there. Opening drawers after drawers, Riki could still hear the papers and plastics getting ripped out.

The noise is keeping him awake.

Seonwoo must be stressing over his work, finding documents after documents. Or something.

A chair is getting dragged from somewhere, Riki could recognize the sound.

“Fine, I had no choice.”

Riki sighs, not having a clue on what's going inside Seonwoo's room, but the noise is definitely killing him.

And then he hears it. Seonwoo's scared scream, and the chair fell into the floor.

+++

Seonwoo covers his mouth after realizing how ugly his voice went.

Really, getting Riki's attention was too hard. He had to do everything.

Suddenly, the door of his bedroom opened and Riki entered inside, worry all over his face.

“What the,” Riki almost curses.

Seonwoo eyes the chair on the floor, which he purposely push to get Riki's attention.

“I thought you fell!” Riki whisper-shouted. “What even are these ripped papers? You only made a mess,” Riki scolded.

Seonwoo stood there, feeling guilty.

“I just want your attention,” he speaks.

Riki rolled his eyes, “For what? Seonwoo, I was trying to sleep.”

Seonwoo didn't speak.

He still haven't ask Riki about his wound. The boy was avoiding him and Seonwoo doesn't want to push over the limit. So he did everything to get Riki's attention.

But it seems like it's past the limit.

Seonwoo sniffs, tears started staining his cheeks.

Riki stood there, avoiding eye contact.

Limit as what? Roommates? Friends?

Seonwoo doesn't have a clue.

He only wanted a clarifications and reasons of why Riki was suddenly avoiding him. Now, Seonwoo was confused as to what they actually are.

Roommates. Friends. Or just strangers living together in a house.
