"Be right back," Chan said, leaving the frame of his laptop's camera. Video calling between us had become fairly normal in the past week. We'd both decided that seeing each other and hearing one another's voices beat texting by a long shot. We'd been doing it almost daily, even in the most inappropriate times. Just like right now, how he was calling me despite the fact that he was at Jeonghan's house.

While he was gone, I recollected the last time I'd seen him in person, almost two weeks ago. We'd fallen asleep next to each other, engulfed in one another's warmth and scent. Chan had a specific smell to him. Maybe it was his laundry detergent, or his cologne, or body wash. But it never failed to draw me in.

When I'd woken up the next morning, I got my things together, leaving him a note on his desk and giving him a tiny and loving kiss on the forehead while he slept. Don't worry, I didn't forget to take selfies of him sleeping peacefully beside me. And no, it's not creepy.

On my way out of the house, I narrowly avoided meeting his little brother, which wouldn't have been good. I wanted to leave unnoticed, saving Chan some trouble with his parents. Fortunately, his little brother was distracted by the TV.

Ever since then, we've mostly been video calling and getting to know one another better. I learned that Chan is basically the epitome of the shy and quiet boy in school who is so diligent with his studies and people always asked if they could copy his homework. He was that kid.

And about that fight, it turns out that Seungcheol was fighting Jeonghan's boyfriend Jisoo. I felt bad for the kid. He undeniably got his ass kicked. But I guess I should feel bad for Jeonghan too, who had to deal with the overwhelming embarrassment from the situation. And of course, Seungcheol's nettling arrogance.

Speaking of Jeonghan, he suddenly appeared on my computer screen, jubilantly greeting me through the webcam.

"Hey," I hesitantly said.

"Hey so I heard that you and Chan kissed on the Ferris Wheel?" his sweet voice asked with a smirk. He brushed his wisteria purple hair out of his face, waiting for me to say something.

But I couldn't. I couldn't tell if all the color had been drained from my face or if it had flushed red. How did he know? The only way he could have found out would have been through Chan. But what if somehow it wasn't, and Chan didn't want him to know? I didn't want to tell him and then have Chan upset with me.

"Chan told me," Jeonghan proclaimed.

Well, that solves that.

"Yeah..." I awkwardly admitted, avoiding looking at my computer screen.

"Awe! That must have been his first kiss!" Jeonghan cooed with excitement, sounding like a contented and proud mother.

"No, Chan told me that I wasn't his first kiss," I skeptically objected.

Jeonghan rolled his eyes and scoffed at my statement, "He tells me everything. Like how you stayed at his house and cuddled a few weeks ago."

"Wait, what else has he said about m-"

"My point is, you were his first kiss. And future first boyfriend. But you didn't hear any of this from me, okay? Gotta' go!" Jeonghan winked, leaving the camera frame. Moments later, Chan filled his spot. He had a bowl of grapes in his hands, and as we talked he would periodically pluck one of the purple orbs off the stem and plop it in his mouth.

"So Chan, I've been thinking," I started, watching him on my screen, "I remembered how you wanted to go to the zoo part of the amusement park, and you didn't get to go. So to make it up to you, I was thinking that I could take you to a zoo sometime. Maybe this weekend?"

I watched as his face glowed up with excitement and joy. He said yes and thank you countless times and it made me so happy to see him smile like that. His happiness is contagious. It seemed unimaginable for anyone to feel melancholy around him.

"This Saturday, I'll pick you up at noon. We'll get lunch then go see some animals," I declared. He didn't object.

My phone buzzed one day while I was talking to Chan on the phone. I picked it up, expecting it to be something from Seungkwan, but it was from another one of my good friends.

Hey! You're invited to my birthday party this Saturday! I hope you show up!

Of all days, Junhui, you get born on the day that I'm supposed to have my date?

"What's wrong?" Chan inquired, noting my shift in mood.

"My... my friend Junhui..." I attempted to explain, not being able to string words together to form a sentence.

"What is it?" He pressed, concern evident in his tone. "You can tell me."

How did he expect me to tell him that one of my good friends was having a birthday party the one day I want to do something with him? I know that as soon as I tell him, he'll say that the birthday party is more important than our date.

"Soonyoung! Just tell me!" Chan laughed, ignorant to how astronomical this predicament was.

"My friend Junhui is having a birthday party this Saturday," I finally admitted, sighing in defeat.

"Okay, let's just go to the zoo Sunday then," Chan declared.

I almost felt dumbfounded at how quickly he was to brush it off. "Wait, but how will you get here? Didn't you already buy a train ticket? We both know you can't drive here; your parents would never allow it. And if I come to pick you up Sunday, we'll have almost no time at the zoo."

"Yeah..." Chan drawled, deep in thought.

Suddenly, his face lit up with an epiphany. "Would it be okay if I still come up on Saturday, and go to the party with you? Then I can stay the night at your house and we can still go to the zoo in time to see everything!"

I had to fight so hard to not jump up and down right then and there, with how overjoyed I was at his plan. It wasn't even just that he solved the problem, but how we'd be solving it.

I'm so lucky.
