Weeks have passed and Jooyeon felt more and more comfortable inside his room, but outside he always felt pressured. He was sure that he would suffer greatly if he broke a rule. Jiseok was now able to partially walk normally again and the Seungmin guy was doing well again, or at least Jooyeon didn't hear anything about the breathing difficulties he had so often anymore. Jooyeon also grew very fond of Jungsu, the both of them already being like best friends. And because he was so close to Jungsu, he also grew closer to Gunil somehow. And to that other guy, that shared a room along Gunil and Seungmin. His name was Hyeongjun, an actually pretty sweet guy. He barely talked to Jooyeon though, what seemed to be a little bit weird at first.
Selective mutism is the disorder he is suffering from. That's what Seungmin told him at least. "People say it's a type of anxiety disorder, if this helps you somehow," he explained to Jooyeon. "He's unable to speak in specific social situations.. For example when he is near someone he doesn't know." That explained why Hyeongjun suddenly was silent when they talked about Seungmin back on Jooyeon's first days there. But Jooyeon was glad that the other started to warm up slowly.
The six of them were hanging out at room 120, all of them sitting on the floor. Gunil and Jungsu were leaning against the bed, cuddling with each other and Jiseok was eyeing them. Like a lot. There was an awkward distance between Jooyeon and Jiseok, the kiss really changed their relationship to each other. It was as if they had to start from zero again. And everyone noticed that.
So as their little meeting ended and Jiseok already went back to his room, Seungmin talked to Jooyeon about it. "Did something happen between you and Jiseok?" he questioned curiously. Jooyeon knew that there was no point in lying so he just sighed and started to explain what happened. "So uh.. It was some weeks ago already.. And it was really cold in our room.." he started hesitantly. "And he asked me whether I can cuddle him because he was very cold.." Jooyeon wished to forget the thing that happened then. "And?" Gunil asked, also listening to what Jooyeon was saying.
"We kissed.. Like, really really.. kissed."
