jungwon grabbed his keys to the apartment and quickly headed out of the dorm. he wiped his tears on his sleeve as he quickly sped off to minghao's dorm.

3 knocks and minghao answered the door.

❝wonnie? what happened?❞ he asks and jungwon couldn't answer without breaking into tears.

❝minghao... why are people so mean?❞

minghao wrapped jungwon into a hug. 

❝it can't be helped. some people are just... like that. instead of thinking it's your fault, think of it like you're the centre of attention and that everyone else is just jealous of you, and they are! they're jealous because you have the school's most popular guy as your boyfriend. and he's amazing, if i'm not wrong. so ignore those who are mistakening you. they don't know anything. they're so selfish because they only think of what they want and they don't understand what pain and pressure they're putting you under. but that's okay. as long as you and him are happy together, no one else's opinion matters. come on inside first.❞

 as jungwon steps into minghao's dorm, his nose fills with mixed smells of chinese spices and feels warm and welcomed by this.

he then sits down on the couch, and minghao's dorm is quiet except for the very faint music at the background. as if minghao had read jungwon's thoughts, he says ❝i play music because it makes me more calm.❞ he smiles.

jungwn nods and snuggles himself further into the blankets and pillows on the couch.

❝aren't you lonely here?❞ jungwon asks.

minghao shrugs. ❝sometimes junnie hyung stops by here, and other times mingyu crashes here for the night because him and wonwoo probably got into a fight.❞

❝ah. but what about the times they aren't here?❞ jungwon asks angain and minghao answers within a beat.

❝i mean... junnie hyung is here most the time, but when there's no one but me, i'm not really bored. i always manage to find something to do. some days i practice a new dance routine, or i study and finish homework, or when i want to do nothing, i just turn on the tv and eat while watching something.❞

jungwon sniffles, but then smiles. ❝i'll come by sometimes, so you'd have me to talk to.❞

minghao grins. ❝that'd be nice. now about that, you wanna talk about it?❞

jungwon spends basically the rest of the day talking to minghao and he feels much better afterwards.

he knows that not even sunoo can comfort him like that and he's glad he's found minghao as a friend.

when jungwon bids minghao godbye at the door, minghao pulled jungwon into a hug once again.

❝hao? what's wrong?❞

he could feel minghao's smile on his shoulder. ❝nothing, just that i have to thank you for stopping by today.❞

jungwon shakes his head. ❝no, i have to thank you. if it wasn't for you, i wouldn't even be standing now.❞
