Soobin had, miraculously, managed to kind of get himself together. After at least an hour of crying he'd managed to get up from the floor. He'd washed his face and he was trying to make some ramen so that he could eat. 

Just as he took the pot of ramen of the stove there was a knock on his door. A soft one, it didnt't sound like Minjae, so he put down the pot and walked over to the door. 

Carefully, he opened it and on the other side there was a guy with black hair. His brown eyes were red and puffy - just like his own most definitely were - and he had a small, weak smile on his lips.

"Who... uh, who are you?"

"I..." he started, but he didn't seem to know what to say and he closed his mouth. After a few seconds of a rather awkward silence, consisting of the two just staring at each other, the guy opened his mouth again. "Can I come in?"

Soobin hesitated, but ended up nodding. "Sure..?"

"Thank you..."

He led the guy to his kitchen table, where the two sat down. "So uh... who are you?"

"Right..." the black haired guy started. "Since I don't really know how to start this, I guess I'll just properly introduce myself."

"Okay..?"

"I'm, uh, Choi Yeonjun... I'm studying at SKKU for a degree in like.. dance, uh, I was born in 1999.." The guy, Yeonjun, looked very anxious as he spoke. 

"You really did just... give me a quick deep dive of you." 

"Yeah, sorry... I... damn, I honestly don't know how to speak."

"It's okay! It's like that sometimes..."

The two stayed there, silent, for a couple of more minutes. The ravenette looked like he was trying to figure out how to word whatever he wanted to say. Whilst Soobin was just... thinking. 

Why had this stranger showed up at his place? Or, more importantly, how did this Yeonjun guy know where he lived? What was going on?

"I'm the guy Minjae's been seeing." he looked down into his lap.

"What?"

Soobin got up, feeling anger well up in him. He was going to kick the black haired guy out. Of course, Minjae had sent his sneaky link to apologize on his behalf. Or maybe this dude would say something like "It wasn't meant for you to find out" , or some other idiotic bullshit. 

But then, just as he want about to yell at him, Yeonjun started crying and Soobin sat back down.

"I... I thought he didn't have any other partner or anything, I didn't know about you and I... I'm sorry for just showing up here, but damn. I just, I had to go see you, I'm just... I'm sorry." Yeonjun was still staring at his legs, crying whilst trying to dry the tears of his face. "I'm so sorry..."

Soobin could feel tears starting to form in his eyes, he really just could not watch someone else cry without bursting into tears himself, could he?

"Hey, it's not your fault we both fell for a massive dickhead..." Before he also started to cry, Soobin managed to get out a lighthearted, but at the same time serious, joke. 

The two ended up crying it out. Soobin found himself enjoying the others company - or maybe it was just the fact that the ravenette was great at hugging. 

"Do you want something to eat? I have noodles." Soobin asked after they'd finished sobbing over the massive idiot they'd been dating. 

"Oh heck yeah" Yeonjun replied, sniffling before drying his cheeks. 

"So, uh... when did Minjae reach out to you?" Soobin didn't really want to ask, but then again - he was curious, "Or like, how did you two meet?"

"It's a bit embarrassing, but I guess I'll tell you..." Yeonjun sighed, looking over at the brunette sitting next to him, "... I re-downloaded grindr and we like matched. Then he invited me out on a date and we ended up going back to his place and we, uh, y'know..." He looked over at Soobin, who looked confused. "...well, uh, we had fun in bed..." 

"Oh..."

"Yeah..." Yeonjun chuckled slightly before he continued with the story, "Anyhow, we ended up seeing each other more regularly, like we went on dates and everything, then he asked if I wanted to 'make it official' and we started dating."

"Damn, and... and when did you start to go out?" Soobin asked, chewing nervously on his bottom lip. 

"A bit over half a year ago.. I know, after one and a half years that bastard decided to get a new boy. Not cool." Yeonjun shook his head, he got irritated by just thinking about it. 

After staying silent for a couple of minutes the ravenette got up. "I think I should get home, I have class tomorrow morning... but it was nice meeting you!" he said with a smile on his face.

"Wait!" Soobin let out and quickly stood up, "Can I give you my number? It was really nice hanging out with you and, uh, and I'd love doing it again!"

Yeonjun laughed slightly before nodding. 

With that, the two exchanged numbers.
