octopus 💕

I fumbled with the lock on my apartment, my fingers would not push the right buttons to get me inside. As soon as the door opened, I was inside, taking off my shoes and throwing all of my stuff by the door. I beelined straight for my room, passing the empty bedroom as I did.

I was laying in bed, ready to fall asleep. The day had seemed to take a billion years to pass. I found myself looking at the clock constantly for only a minute to pass each time. I was bored out of my mind and extremely exhausted.

My days all on my own, minus the company of 3racha and felix, just took all of the life out of me. Living on my own after 2 years with Minho was weird, definitely bad weird. All of my nights were sleepless, hence the constant exhaustion. But most of all, it was lonely.

I missed him more and more everyday, and counted the days until he would return. Minho had left on a business trip ( i.e dance convention) to Japan last month and wasn't due back until a week later. I just sighed into the darkness and laid my phone in the empty space of the bed next to me.

I rolled over, turning my back to my phone and the spot where my best friend would sleep when he had nightmares. Minho and I have lived together for a while now. We decided that it was in our best interest so that I could be close to work, and he could be far away from his parents. And as his best friend, I felt inclined to do whatever I could to ensure his happiness and safety.

But then my phone rang, "Who the hell is calling me so late?" I reached behind me and grabbed the phone. It was a video call. It was Minho. "Why is he facetiming me?"

I answered, but first noticed that it wasn't Minho's face at all, just super close to one of his beautiful brown eyes. "Jisung-ah!" he yelled, sounding the extreme opposite of the last time he said my name, so soft and slightly sad. I was suspicious to say the least, "Did you drink?" I was worried, Minho could handle his alcohol, so how much had he drunk to call me like this?

"Ah... I'm eating octopus right now!" he hiccuped, "Say hello, say hello," he turned his phone to his plate, "Hi, I'm baby octopus." He giggled right after. It was cute. "Hey...if you're drunk, just go home." I didn't want him to get into trouble since he was clearly on another planet. I saw a strange look pass over his face, "home?"

Jisung's heart fell. But was quickly startled when Minho started yelling. "Jisung- ah!! You. Do you know the pure love of the baby octopus? Huh?!" His face looked like he was genuinely upset that I wasn't loving towards his sannakji. Another stupid thing: I was mad at the fucking sannakji for having my best friend's affection more than I did. "Mhm, yeah I don't know and I don't want to know. And even in the future, I want to live without knowing!"

"You! Do you know this hurt heart of sannakji!?" Minho's anger about his food made me angry for no reason. My irritability because of lack of sleep was showing now that I finally was able to speak to him. "Shut up! I'm done and I'm hanging up!" In my stupidity, I ended the call and threw my phone over my shoulder and back onto the bed.

"Why does he always call me when he's drunk?" I smiled at the thought of him, just calling me to tell me stupid stuff. I loved it. But for the sake of our friendship, I had tried to convince myself that I didn't like him and to cover all of the emotions with anything else, in this case: frustration. Then the phone rang again, "Hey! Why do you keep calling me?!"

"Don't hang up on the little baby octopus like a punk!", his voice softened from yelling to something softer, "How could you ignore the pure heart of sannakji?," Minho's voice raised again and I really wondered what the people around him were thinking, "You're really a merciless man!" Minho threw his head back and began to sing the chorus of 'Tears' by So Chan Whee.
