YEOSANG

It'd been a few days since Yeosang learned that Jongho was Mingi's roommate, yet all the memories of highschool and what they had done together were suffocating him still. Since they hadn't spoke since senior prom, Yeosang easily forgot him and everything they shared. Simply just hearing his name made him remember everything, it was harsh.

Work was slow, leaving him alone with his thoughts, only having Yunho to distract him. Right now, Yunho was talking his ear off about a random topic.

"Yeosang? Yeosang are you listening?" Yunho's voice asked, cutting through his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry," Yeosang answered.

Yunho shook his head, "No you're not, tell me what's going on."

Yeosang sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "You remember Mingi's roommate, Jongho?"

Yunho nodded. "He's my ex. From highschool. You know, like my first boyfriend and my highschool sweetheart."

Yunho's jaw dropped, a hand reaching up to cover his open mouth.

"Yeah. I thought he moved to the states or something, he completely disappeared when we broke up. I never imagined he'd be still in Korea, let alone roommates with my best friend's man. We're like, way closer than I thought we would be. I don't know, it's dumb, but ever since I heard his name I just can't stop thinking about everything we did and what happened."

Yunho nodded in understanding, "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"

He thought for a moment before saying, "Can you give me his number? Or Instagram or something?"

"I could ask Mingi for them," Yunho replied since he didn't have them. Yeosang nodded, so Yunho texted Mingi asking for Jongho's number.

After a second, Mingi replied. Yunho quickly thanked him before showing Yeosang the phone number.

Yeosang quickly put the contact in, however he just hovered over the message box. "What do I even say?" He asked.

"What do you want to say?" Yunho asked, wanting to help.

Yeosang hesitated, "I want to get to know him again. Get back in contact, be friends, I don't know. Closure? But also like, I want to know how he's doing."

Yunho nodded. "Text him 'Hey, this is Yeosang, I got your number from a friend. Do you wanna meet for coffee or something and catch up?'"

Yeosang typed what Yunho was saying as he said it, however he hesitated over the send button. He passed his phone to Yunho, "Send it for me."

Yunho rolled his eyes but did, handing Yeosang his phone back as soon as he did. Yeosang sighed loudly and put his phone down on the counter. He expected an instant reply, even though he knew that probably wouldn't happen.

Despite thinking it'd be a while until he replied, Jongho replied almost instantly.

'when are you free?' He wrote. Yeosang looked at Yunho, a slightly shocked expression on his face.

"Did he reply already?" Yunho asked because of Yeosang's expression.

Yeosang nodded, typing his reply to Jongho. 'As soon as my shift ends, in about 10 minutes'

'I'll pick you up. where do you work?'

Yeosang bit his lip, sending Jongho the cafe's address before showing Yunho the texts.

"Wow, I mean this is good though right?" Yunho said after reading their short conversation, "Like, you'll get closure and shit."

Yeosang nodded slowly, "I guess so yeah, I'm just nervous."
