There was a knock at Seungmin's door.

he didn't want to get up and answer it, but he was sort of curious who could be at his door, so he reluctantly put his glasses on and got out of bed.

once he came down the stairs he opened the door. although he'd been sleeping for a while, he still looked tired.

"I-I brought your work."

seungmin looked at the clock.

"why aren't you at school?" he asked. "it's not over yet."

"I wasn't feeling well, so I went home," the shorter of the two said.

"U-um here," Changbin handed the work to Seungmin awkwardly.

seungmin took it and nodded as a tear fell down changbin's cheek.

"Can I please come in?" Changbin asked, and Seungmin couldn't tell him no.

They both sat on his couch waiting for the other to say something.

"Are you mad at me?" Changbin blurted out suddenly.

seungmin was taken aback, "what? no! why would you ever think that?"

"Well it kind of feels like you've been avoiding me," Changbin said shyly.

"no," seungmin started, "well actually kinda."

"Do you want to talk about it?"  Changbin urged.

"it's stupid," seungmin said, realizing that his actions had really hurt changbin, and they weren't even necessary. he was just avoiding his problems.

"I would never think whatever reason you had for this was stupid," Changbin tried to make him comfortable enough to talk about it in order to soothe his own curiosities.

"no, the way i acted was unreasonable." seungmin said.

"I'm sure it's not, just tell me please, I've been really worried about you," Changbin practically begged. He couldn't fight the feeling that it was something he did.

"well we went to my aunt's house, right?" seungmin started, "and my cousin said some really awful things about us. and you. i just started worrying that maybe... i don't know, i told you, it's just really stupid."

Changbin hugged him, "It's not, I get it."

Seungmin hugged him back.

It felt like coming back home after being homesick for weeks.

Changbin smiled at him and started to collect his things. "I'll go now if you still need time."

Seungmin grabbed his arm, "No, stay," his eyes widened, "Please. Besides, I need to help you study.

Changbin smiled softly and sat back down while Seungmin hugged his arm like a frightened child.

"actually," seungmin started, "can we just stay here for a while, i missed this."

Changbin nodded and smiled.
