Jongho was in his room freshening up. He had finished his day of classes. He had other plans that day. Specifically to spend time with a friend. He was excited. It had been a while since they've seen each other.

After showering, Jongho dried his hair then began to get dressed. He chose his outfit carefully. It was a nice day outside, so they planned to go to the park. He wanted to look like he put effort into how he looked.

By then wooseok had gotten back as well. "Hey Jongho."

"Hey." Jongho greeted back.

"Where are you going?" Wooseok saw Jongho getting ready to leave.

"To the park. With a friend." Jongho answered.

"Oh really? That sounds fun." Wooseok said. He was still really curious about Jongho's call not too long ago. He wanted to know more.

"Yeah I haven't seen them in a while." Jongho said looking in the mirror one more time.

Wooseok thought for a moment but decided to ask. "Sorry this is kinda random, but do you have a partner? Like a girlfriend or boyfriend?" He asked.

"Uhh no, why?" Jongho asked laughing a little.

"Well I heard you talking on the phone and it just sounded like.." Wooseok admitted. "Sorry I didn't mean to assume."

"Oh.. that.. I didn't know you heard that." He seemed a little flustered. "Yeah we are just friends." Jongho explained. "I'm not dating anyone."

"But that's not who you're meeting today." Wooseok assumed.

"Well actually it is." Jongho said.

"Oh okay." Wooseok couldn't help but assume things since Jongho was so flustered about the conversation. "Alright then have fun."

"I will." Jongho said before heading out.

Jongho made it to the park. He looked at his phone letting his friend know he was there and where he was. He sat on a bench and waited. He thought about why this person meant so much to him.

Jongho went to breakfast. He played with his sleeve as he walked into the cafeteria. He was very observant. He knew all of the faces in the mental facility. And they all knew him. He was angry, irritable, and never spoke to anyone. He always ate alone. Jongho sat to eat at his normal table. He suddenly saw a blond haired boy sitting at a table not too far from him. He's never seen him before. Normally Jongho wouldn't care if there was a new kid but since he had a roommate. He decided to take interest.

Jongho stood up and walked over to the table. He walked slowly not wanting to alarm the boy who was facing the other way. But it didn't work anyways because the other kids at the table fled at Jongho's arrival. Jongho only stood there as the blond boy turned around.

Jongho jumped a little seeing the boys face. His mouth quivered and his brows furrowed. He shook his head in disbelief.

The blond boy too was shocked by the others appearance, "J-Jongho." The boy stuttered.

"Yeosang.."
