Chapter 9: Not A Date Part 1

[Wonho's POV]

I fell asleep from crying last night. I opened my phone to see the time but I was greeted by an open message.

[From: Unknown Number

Thank you. :) –Changkyun]

I smiled at sight of the message. I sighed in relief. I tapped the number and a variety of option popped out. I selected the 'Save number' option. The selection took to me to a menu with empty fields to fill out for the information. I tapped the 'Name' field and started typing.

[Name] Im Changkyun

*deletes*

[Name] Changkyun

*deletes*

[Name] Changkyunie <3

Save.

A smile slowly formed in my face. I tapped at the message button.

[To: Changkyunie <3

Good morning. –Hoseok]

Send.

I messaged him, not expecting for a reply. But before I put my phone down, it vibrated.

[From: Changkyunie <3

Good morning. Are you free today? :)]

I almost jumped out with joy when he texted me back. I wasn't really expecting him to reply within an hour or so, but I was wrong.

[To: Changkyunie <3

All day? Yes.]

Send.

I placed the phone above my chest. Not a minute after, a message came in again.

[From: Changkyunie <3

Can we meet today? It's for our project.]

I can't explain everything I'm feeling right now. It was a mix of joy and excitement. The thought of having a date crossed my mind, but it isn't a date actually. It's for an academic purpose. Well anyway, at least I can see him today and at that, I can also spend my time outside this house.

[To: Changkyunie <3

Sure. Where?]

Send.

I got myself out of the bed and walked to my dresser. I shuffled some clothes there, troubling myself on what to wear today. I decided to bring out a plain black shirt with a print, black pants and a hooded jacket. The phone vibrated in my pocket.

[From: Changkyunie <3

Do you know the park near the coffee shop across the school? See you there at ten. :)]

The place he was talking about is actually three blocks from our house. I prepared the things I'm going to wear today and laid them on my bed neatly.

[To: Changkyunie <3

Okay. See you there.]

Send.

I can't contain the excitement I'm feeling inside. I walked around my room back and forth, thinking of the things we can actually do together after we talk about our project. I just decided to get myself a bath and be there early. The clock in my phone says its 8:47.

Changkyun.

[Changkyun's POV]

I wasn't able to sleep peacefully. The nightmare once again had me screaming in the middle of my sleep. And as always, I wasn't able to get back to sleep again so I just read a book for the lessons I missed before. In the middle of my reading, my phone beside the book vibrated. A message from my seatmate, Hoseok, came in.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

Good morning. –Hoseok]

Messages like these before from my friends don't have an effect from me, but this one is different. I was actually thinking of the concept we'll have in our project so I asked him if he's free today so we can talk about it together and share ideas about it.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

All day? Yes.]

His reply was short. Well, what do I expect? I'm not that close to him to expect something greater. I asked him if we can meet today for our project planning.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

Sure. Where?]

He seemed to reply fast though. I was thinking of a place to where we'll meet today and then I suddenly remembered about the park my mother told me about when she was on the way to her work. I set the time and that we'll meet there at ten o'clock.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

Okay. See you there.]

As soon I got the message, I fixed everything on the table and set aside the book. I stepped outside my room and went straight to the kitchen. Above the table is a set of healthy food prepared by my mother. There's a note sticking out from one of the bowls.

"Eat all these. I'm out early for work. Send me a message if you're going somewhere so I'll know you'll be out. Take care Changkyun. –Mom <3"

I smiled after reading the note, looking at the food she prepared. Everything on the table are bowls of my favorite greens and soup. I sat there and ate.

[To: Mom <3

Mom. I finished everything you prepared. I'll be out today. I'll meet a friend at the park you told me last time for our project. Take care too Mom. I love you. :**]

Send.

I sent the message after I washed the dishes and bowls I used for eating. After doing so, I got back to my room and prepare myself for our project planning. The clock read 9:14AM.

I arrived at the park ten minutes before our meeting time. I sat on one of the benches there and waited. A message came in.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

I'm inside the coffee shop.]

I stood up and walked to the coffee shop he was referring to just beside the park. I entered the coffee shop and started eyeing everyone inside. At the far end corner of the shop, a familiar figure sat there, looking outside the glass beside him. He's wearing a jacket and black pants. I slowly walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulders.

"Hey." I greeted him.

"Hey."

He greeted back and gestured me to take the seat in front of him. I sat down there comfortably. A man dressed like a waiter suddenly approached us with a tray and placed it on our table. I drooled at the sight of the food placed on the tray. There were two mugs of hot chocolate, a small plate of chocolate mousse and slices of chocolate bread. I already had my breakfast but the visuals made me hungry again.

"I don't know what to order for you so I had chocolates. I hope its fine for you." he said as soon as the waiter left our table.

"I-It's perfectly fine. Thank you." I said shyly.

"So about our project. What about it?" he directly asked.

The atmosphere seemed serious this time but I wasn't carried away by it. I took a sip of the hot chocolate he ordered before I answered.

"Well, I was thinking of—"

A/N: YEY! Another filler. OMG. Sorry I need to cut it into parts. I ran out of ideas here actually. Expect the second part within 24 hours though. I know the story gets boring as the time goes by but everything has its purpose. Thank you for reading this. :)
