The next two days, Dongmin didn't get a single text from Woonhak, which, for once, he found oddly peaceful. He went over to Donghyun's place after morning classes to work on some assignments. As he sat on the floor, munching on snacks, Donghyun eyed him curiously.
"Has the weird guy who keeps texting you gone quiet today?" Donghyun asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dongmin swallowed, then shrugged. "Probably off doing something stupid again."
Donghyun snickered. "What stupid thing did he do last time?"
Dongmin rolled his eyes. "He sprained his ankle while trying to get chips out of the vending machine. Fell down the stairs."
Donghyun stared, mouth agape. "Wait-seriously? Have you checked on him yet?"
Dongmin frowned. "Why would I? It's just a sprain. He'll live."
"Because you're friends?" Donghyun suggested, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Friends? Dongmin stayed quiet, the word lingering in his mind longer than it should have. Was that what they were?
As evening rolled around, Dongmin walked home. The cool breeze did little to distract him from the nagging feeling in the back of his mind. He fidgeted with his phone, debating with himself. Eventually, with an exasperated sigh, he caved and texted first.
Dongmin: I can't believe I'm actually texting you first.
Almost immediately, his phone buzzed.
Woonhak: WHAT?! Did the sun just explode?! Is this the end of the world?!
Dongmin rolled his eyes. He regretted it already.
Dongmin: Geez! Chill out. It's not that serious.
Woonhak: It is serious! The universe has shifted! The balance is broken!
Dongmin: You're being dramatic again🙄
Woonhak: Dramatic? I'm just reacting to the earth-shattering news that you, Taesan, texted me first!
Dongmin: I'll call that Overreacting.
Woonhak: Don't downplay this! I should throw a party!
Dongmin: Maybe don't, considering your track record with stairs.
Woonhak: Ouch! That hurts. My poor ankle still hasn't recovered yet. And you're mad at me for being excited.😫
Dongmin: I'm not mad; I'm just shocked that you're this over-the-top.
Woonhak: Shocked? You should be honored that my first reaction was to celebrate our text-a-thon!
Dongmin: Honored? Please, I'm just trying to survive another day with your constant barrage of texts.😒
Woonhak: But my texts are like sunshine and rainbows!🦄🌈
Dongmin: More like a rainstorm that won't stop.
Woonhak: Ouch! That hurts! I thought we were friends!
Dongmin: I'm starting to question that...
Woonhak: Wow, so rude! Do you need a hug or something?
Dongmin: I definitely don't need a hug from you.
Woonhak: Why not? I give great hugs!
Dongmin: I'll take my chances with the "awkward stranger" option.
