Texted so, Leon just straightly tapped on the camera icon and waited for Emil to answer.
Meanwhile, he sat up on his bunk bed and almost hit his head on the ceiling.
«YONG SOO!» he exclaimed.
«huh?» the other replied.
«turn on the light and shut up, 'kay?»
The korean snorted, then got up from the desk and turned the lights on.
«thank you, little brother»
«f*ck off»
«shhh!»
Finally, Emil answered the call. From what he saw, he was probably laying on what looked like a bed. He had a zip-up hoodie on, and the hood was up, dark circles and his eyes were kinda red and puffy...
«like, what the f*ck is happening?» he asked, «I mean...you, like, always tell me you're doing fine and now...?»
Emil bit his lips, his eyes were getting watery.
«I l-l-lie.» he murmured, wiping some tears who menaced to fall from his eyes.
«w...why?»
«It's a b-ad ha-b-bit I got...» he said, and damn, he looked...cute? «I a-a-always lie to p-p-people asking m-me how I f-f-feel, b-ecause I d-on't want t-t-t-t-t...them to get b-ored by m-m-me...»
«Ok, so, like, what were those Ts-? And the pause after them» Leon asked, he didn't know if it was going to offend him or make him laugh, but he said it anyway.
«C-c-couldn't stop s-stuttering, s-s-so I stayed s-s-silent for a w-w-while» the other explained, «it happens a l-l-lot, y'know...»
Leon sighed, «second, why would I, like, get bored of you...?»
«b-ecause...I d-on't know. I j-j-just know p-p-people are a-a-always so b-usy they c-can't l-l-l-let me speak, so if t-t-they get b-ored from that, then y-y-you'd get b-ored about ho-how I f-f-f-feel as well...»
«I'm not like those people» Leon frowned, «if I was, then, I wouldn't be here listening to you.»
«t-t-thank you»
«I SHIP YOU TWO!» Yong Soo exclaimed.
Leon got just as red as a tomato, meanwhile Emil only flinched at all the sudden noise.
«閉嘴,永洙 !» he shouted, flustered.
«W-who was t-t-that? what d-oes that m-m-mean?» Emil asked, kinda interested.
«It was Yong Soo. I told him to, like, shut up, nothing much. So, uhm, how are you?»
Emil thought a bit about it before answering, «b-ad. They w-w-were right! E-everything is wrong i-i-in my l-life, I hate m-m-myself and if I d-ied, the w-w-world would j-j-just b-e an happier p-p-place!»
«Don't say that!» Leon almost exclaimed, «you're, like, amazing, don't listen to what they say on Instagram!»
The Norwegian started crying, at this point.
«I...I t-t-tried, b-ut it's so hard...they a-all hate m-m-me...what d-id I d-o w-wrong?»
«You, like, didn't do anything wrong, I'll tell you what's up with them: they're assh*les. I mean, they bully you only because you, like, had a incident and now you've got some problems speaking? That's only what spoiled brats do.»
«A-a-actually, it's not o-o-only about s-speaking...» Emil added shyly, «I have p-p-problems un-un-un-understanding people, t-too...they u-u-used to call me "d-umb" and s-s-stuff like this...it w-was awful...»
«Ugh! They are, like, the dumb ones!» Leon almost hit the head again on the ceiling as he said that.
«what did he say?» asked Yong Soo from the lower bed.
«Why does that interest you?» Leon asked him, rolling his eyes. «Like, seriously, mind your business»
«It's so hard to understand»
«YONG SOO, SHUT UP!»
«I-I'm s-s-s-sorry...it's t-t-that when I'm n-n-nervous it g-g-gets worse...» Emil said.
«nah, it's ok. The bro doesn't know about what, like, happened to you»
The other kind of smiled.
«I l-l-love ta-talking to y-you...I feel a-a-accepted...»
«I love talking to you, too!» at this point, Leon just threw in some compliments only to make Emil smile.
«L-L-Leon?»
«yeah?»
«Have y-y-you ever f-f-felt really l-lonely?»
What kind of question was that? With the thousands siblings he had, it was really hard to feel lonely.
«no, too many siblings» he shrugged.
«I...I f-f-feel so l-l-lonely these d-days.» Emil stated.
«I can imagine it.» Leon said, «like, seriously...locked in a house, in Europe. In that continent there's the European Union. I heard it, like, sucks»
An awkward silence reigned in the room.
«N-N-Norway n-n-n-never joined the E-European union...» Emil said after a while.
«Oh.» Leon felt like blushing out of embarrassment, «well, then, uhm...»
«t-t-thank you for b-eing here f-for me.» the other smiled.
«There's, like, no problem»
