tw / eating disorder (he's working on it though 🤞)

the following days, san was a bit busy with work, so wooyoung was able to spend some quality time with their friends. this was a special day for him, as he hadn't spent time with just yunho and mingi in months.

"you're going to have so much fun today, baby. i can't wait to hear all about it!" san said on the phone, smiling as he got ready for work.

"can you sleep over tonight? i haven't seen you at all for a couple days," wooyoung pouted.

with a chuckle, san agreed. it was rare for the two to be apart for more than a day or so, especially considering the safety that wooyoung felt when his boyfriend was around.

"of course, my love. now i gotta get going, okay? have fun with yunho and mingi!"

"i will... i love you, sannie~"

"i love you more, woo. see you tonight~"

the boys hung up and wooyoung went to the living room, where seonghwa and hongjoong were curled up watching tv. with a small smile on his face, he remembered how hongjoong had been ready to propose a month prior and thought about how perfect the two truly were together. he may not be ready to see his best friend getting engaged, but he knew that hongjoong was definitely the one for him.

wooyoung sat down next to hongjoong, leaning into him and hugging the boy. seonghwa smiled at this, feeling a bit sentimental seeing how much better the youngest was doing.

"hi sunshine~" hongjoong greeted, adjusting so he had an arm around each of the boys beside him. "how are you this morning?"

"good... really good."

"i heard you scream last night, baby... did you have a nightmare?" seonghwa asked with worry.

"mm... yeah. it's okay though! sangie helped me and stayed in my room last night. he got up early this morning though."

"okay, good... i'm glad he helped you, i would've been worried if you had to go through it alone. oh, and sangie went to the gym with jongho this morning. they're making it their new thing. he should be home pretty soon to make breakfast for the two of them."

"ohhhhh, that's cute. they're cute."

"do you want something to eat, woo?" seonghwa asked, realizing the boy probably hadn't gone to the kitchen yet.

"not yet... i have to take bada out soon and i'll eat when i come back in."

"here, i'll take him out. you can focus on finding something for breakfast."

wooyoung tensed slightly, recognizing how seonghwa was being insistent on the boy focusing on eating. it had been a while since he had done this, but it still made wooyoung a bit uncomfortable and stressed over eating. having recognized the younger was tense, hongjoong was quick to intervene, distracting seonghwa from the topic to help wooyoung relax.

"love, i think we should just let woo take care of bada right now. he hasn't spent as much time with him recently since he's been going out more, and you know bada misses woo."

"hmm... you're right. but—"

"shh... let's leave it and focus on our show, okay?"

seonghwa nodded and wooyoung silently thanked hongjoong with a small squeeze of his hand. he stayed seated for a few minutes longer, then went and got ready to take bada out.

the walk was nice, it felt relaxing and it was a reminder to wooyoung of how far he had truly come. a few months ago, he wouldn't have even made it out the door alone, and now, he was able to take his puppy on walks without hesitation.
