Their Little Life | SVT 96L

Chapter 6

"So, how's home?" Serkan asked after a few days had passed since Wyn's father called.

Wyn knew they were worried about Wyn's mental condition. As he was a sensitive person, it might have affected his daily life. When his father had a heart attack, three of them saw how wrecked Wyn was.

That is also the reason why Wyn still has fear that if he wanted to pursue this career, his father might be shocked and have a heart attack again. So, whatever Wyn's decision, they all wanted to support him, whatever it is.

Wyn's fingers close the distance to his mouth and he smokes the cigarettes that are stuck in his two fingers, "I don't know."

It was their routine where all of them would sit on the balcony and smoke. Not all of them were active smokers, only Serkan and Wyn do but sometimes Rayinu smoked with them too. Juniper doesn't smoke at all so he used to sit around close to the door so he won't get the bad air from the smoke. He seemed to be always uncomfortable when people smoked but when they all encouraged him to stay in the living room or doing something else, he refused.

Yet, after they all finished smoking, Juniper went straight cleaning the balcony and also the living room which was close to where they smoke. He always cleaned a little too much every time he saw cig butts.

"Do what makes you happy, Wyn," Rayinu said in his calm voice,

"That's the problem. I don't know what I should choose. Happy but poor later or unhappy but rich?" Wyn asked no one.

Serkan put off his cigs, "Who said you'll be poor?"

"Who knows I'll succeed on this path?" Wyn raised his eyebrow bitterly.

"You are a good composer, Wyndham. You'll be successful and you always write a masterpiece."

Wyn shrugged, "But I'm not some kind of genius that makes me rich only in one night."

"You will someday," Serkan said with certainty that only he has it. The one that is so bold and confident. That one friend that always believes in you is the one that should be kept. And they are all grateful to have Serkan. He never doubted his friend at all.

"What if I don't?"

"You will," Serkan insisted. "We already see it while you keep writing in the middle of the night. We see it when you suddenly stop in the middle of walking to record a song with your voice, aren't we?"

Rayinu and Juniper nodded.

"You are good, Wyn. We all listened to your songs and we saved it on our phone. It's not because we are making you happy but we like it," Rayinu supported Wyn.

"We are comforted by the song that you wrote," Serkan said. "You aren't just talented but you are also working hard for it."

"Many artists are better than me." At this time, it was insecurity that sky-rocketed this time. And those people that he called friends should be frustrated by what he said and would give up.

No one really snapped at him about his insecurities even though they don't understand why Wyn was so down and needed reassurance the most. Yet, they were never tired to convince him. And that is why they are all precious to him.

Juniper cleared his throat. He mostly listened to their conversation without interrupting much but this time, Juniper spoke, "What if I give you a shout out to your account? Promoting you on mine? Though I might not have, like, big followers but at least people started to notice you from me, Wyn."

Serkan clapped his hand excitedly, "Yes, yes. Juniper can help you, Wyn!"

In front of his friends that never tired giving him limitless support and help, Wyn was grateful for that night. He was grateful for constant support and advice. But he felt bad about always questioning his own talent while all of them always said that he was the most talented person he ever met.

"But, you need to prepare yourself. I don't want to put your hopes high, Wyn," warned Juniper.

"But I always send my songs instead of posting them on social media."

"You can start for now, then? Juniper would be happy to help, right, June?" Serkan asked while looking at Juniper with a big smile.

Juniper replied with a big smile too, "How about we doing live together, Wyn? You could sing and maybe podcast? We can talk about how we can be friends with each other too?" Juniper asked awkwardly. That thing is still a mystery with all of them. Juniper was a very awkward and strange person. No one really knows how he responds to certain things and he isn't good at talking with people. Yet, he made a career as a model. Of course there is a face card but it needed more than that. They all believe it was something that Juniper needed to work hard to be staying in that field though.

"And making jokes about us sleeping together?" Rayinu added with a laugh in a relaxed manner to easen up Juniper's awkwardness.

Juniper's lips were curved, shaping as a little smile, "Is it a good idea? I'm sorry I couldn't offer any better ideas."

It was not only Wyn that had his own insecurities. All of them had one too. And Wyn wondered why Juniper couldn't be confident of what he spoke about. Wyn wanted Juniper to be bold and confident instead of staying silent and unsure of himself.

But, maybe it was one of his problems and what they should work on to always boost his confidence. After all, they are all friends that had each other's back, right?

"No, no. June, it's a good idea! You're brilliant! You can do that, right, Wyn? How about a podcast?" Serkan said. He encouraged Juniper while Wyn was thinking about how he and Juniper were having the same insecurities.

Come to think of it, Serkan, who was really an extra, has his own insecurities about his own father. While Rayinu had never really put himself first and sometimes he just forgot himself and left them to keep reminding him that he was precious too.

Wyn looked at Juniper, "You don't mind, June?"

Juniper shook his head, "Actually my agency said that I need to be more active in my social media. So, it might be a chance for me."

He smiled fondly. It showed a fat cheek that was never seen while he didn't smile. Wyn thought Juniper's genuine smile was like a child's smile.

That pretty smile brought smile to all of them. The rough parts on Serkan were smoothened, the stiffness on Rayinu's face was softened and Wyn's hard face was melting. When they said, they all had a soft spot to Juniper, it was like this. Wyn love all of his friends but when it came to Juniper, it felt like all of them would bring world together for Juniper to be happy.
