"Soo.. what does it taste like?"
"Weird"
"Sweet or bitter?"
"A mix of both? I guess.. but not what I expected"
After finishing their drinks and small talk, older boys said they were tired now and went to their rooms to sleep. Sungjae and IH played video games for 1 more hour and then started watching a movie. Ilhoon slept in the middle of it so Sungjae stopped it.
Later that night, Sungjae tried to sleep but he was not feeling sleepy at all even though it was past 2 am. Illhoon was already asleep and he was feeling bored so he sneaked into Changsub's room and slowly crept on his bed, careful not to wake him up.
Changsub was hidden under his covers, Sungjae lifted the covers and placed himself next to him. Changsub was facing the other way so he wrapped his hand around his waist. At this, he stirred awake and turned around facing Sungjae.
"Not able to sleep?" He asked groggily.
"Yeah hyung... I thought if I come here I might be able to get some sleep....but why are u still awake? Did I wake you up?" They were talking in low voices as it was very late.
"No.. I just Don't know.. I have a lot on my mind"
"Hyung, are you mad at me?"
" What.. why Would I be.. why did u think so?"
"Nothing.. just..I felt like it"
" No Sungjae.. why Would I be ... "
"Cool then😁"
" Wait did u do something?🤨"
"Noooo👀😶"
"Good. Then... tell me how's it going for you. Are you comfortable in school and hostel?"
"Yes I am fine .. actually I am doing great"
"Ahh ... really.?."
"Yes.. how is it with you hyung.. it's been so long we talked properly with each other"
" Yeah .. ikr.. I've been so occupied with work that didn't get any time to check upon you.. "
"Nah that's okay hyung .. I can take care of myself.. u don't have to worry about me"
"But it's not just because I'm worried.... I miss you.. "
"Yeah me too"
"You know..." he trailed off.. thinking whether he should say it or not. He decided to go with the latter.
"What?"
"It's nothing.. let's just sleep" See that is the problem with Changsub. He never tells what's going on in his mind. He keeps it himself, so as to not trouble Sungjae with his worries or problems or whatever. When Sungjae was younger, he didn't pay much attention to this.. but now he understands it perfectly.
"What is it hyung.. tell me, what's bothering you?"
"Nothing..."
"Hyung, you can trust me you know" Sungjae said in a tone that suggested that he felt sad or whatever.
"I know Sungjae... it's nothing much .. just that after grandma passed away and you left for States, I felt very lonely"
Sungjae was glad Changsub was finally opening up. This is the first time he told him anything that's bothering him other than Sungjae himself. So kept listening silently and nodded in a manner that suggested that Changsub should go on. Changsub continued
