Why me? >Woosan<

San called just like he'd promised.

The moment Wooyoung saw his name light up the screen, his pulse skipped.

He answered almost immediately.

"Hi, Wooyoung. Everything good?"

"Yeah," Wooyoung said, curling up on his bed. "I've been sleeping most of the day. You?"

"I'm okay. Haven't slept much," San admitted with a quiet laugh. "We're going on tour soon. I'm excited, but... it's exhausting. We've been training nonstop. Barely have time for anything else."

He paused.

"But last night was nice. A break from everything."

Wooyoung smiled faintly.

"Yeah. I read about the tour. And I listened to the new song."

"Oh?" San sounded genuinely curious. "What did you think?"

"It's good," Wooyoung said. "Really good."

San chuckled softly. "Thanks. I'm glad you liked it."

Wooyoung lay back on his pillow, staring at the ceiling.

San's voice had already become familiar, warm and soft, like late-night radio. The kind of voice that made you want to stay awake just to keep listening.

"I mean," Wooyoung added quickly, "I like everything you do. I mean, everything Ateez does."

San laughed quietly.

"Is that so?"

Wooyoung felt his face heat.

"Yeah."

San didn't tease him, but Wooyoung could hear the smile in his voice.

After a moment, San spoke again, more quietly.

"I'd really like to get to know you more, Wooyoung."

The way he said his name made Wooyoung's chest tighten.

"To see you again."

Wooyoung swallowed.

"Me too."

San cleared his throat lightly.

"So," he said, his tone brightening, "let's start properly."

"Start what?"

"Twenty questions."

Wooyoung laughed.

"Right now?"

"Right now."

Wooyoung thought for a moment.

"Okay. Favorite food?"

"Meat," San said immediately. "You?"

Wooyoung grinned.

"Same. A big steak."

"Favorite color?"

"Black."

"Purple," San replied easily.

Wooyoung shifted on the bed.

"What do you do when you're not practicing?"

"I like reading," San said. "Playing games sometimes. Being alone."

Wooyoung smiled.

"I like clothes. Shoes. I buy way too many."

San chuckled.

"Maybe we should go shopping together sometime."

"I'd like that."

"What do you do when you're not studying?"
