An Angel In My Eyes [TXT Sookai]

[8] Love Is Always Patient

It was now past 9pm that day, and Yeonjun was sitting on the couch.

Beomgyu still hadn't woken up, so the older male was just watching him.

"And you, not responding to my texts.", Yeonjun said, looking at his phone.

He had texted Soobin and called him at last four times each to see when they were coming. He didn't get a response.

He didn't call Kai because he knew that there was only a 25% chance the younger would answer.

"At least you responded."

Taehyun had replied to his texts.

They chatted back and forth, keeping track of what each other were doing.

"Gyu, when you wake up, we need to do something special. I want to celebrate. But no alcohol of course. Also, remind me to punch my dad for teaching me that drinking was a good coping mechanism."

A bag next to Yeonjun held his food. He reached into it, taking out a box of cookies.

"See this, this is better. I love these cookies. I'll save some for you. I just hope they don't expire before you wake up. So hurry up. I miss you."

Taehyun and Chin-Hae were standing next to one another, looking out into the street.

Chin-Hae's house was at the end of a long road, atop a not very steep hill.

"It's so pretty. All these trees and houses. Such a nice neighborhood.", Taehyun said.

"Yeah. Plenty of families here too. Dogs, cats, everything."

Chin-Hae sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"I just get bored sometimes. Especially when you guys go on your. Then I am mostly here unless Enhypen needs me."

"Oh yeah...I forgot about that."

"Is something wrong?"

"It's just that, you know I'm friends with Heeseung. And, I didn't want to pursue a relationship with you if it would make him upset."

"Ah I see. Well I am proud to say that you don't need to worry about that."

"How come?"

"My cousin is protective, I can say that, but he wants me to be happy just as much as I want to be happy. And since you're his friend, he knows you're a good guy. He trusts you."
