Town of Trains

Chapter 6

Kyungsoo had been typing, and deleting, messages to Yixing for over a week now. He knew it was unfair to Yixing to make him wait this long, but he didn't know what to say. He felt guilty for not getting in touch with Yixing for this long even though they'd had passing glances at the station almost every day. "Damn it, okay. I'll just pick a time and place and send it. No other words needed. That'll work, right?" he murmured to himself.

"Wednesday, 7 PM, Lu's bar. Ok?"

Finally, after almost a week of thinking about what to send, he finally took the next step.

Yixing's heart immediately started racing when he felt his pocket vibrate. Most of his friends didn't really text him, so he knew it was something else. He reached for his phone as fast as possible, and almost screamed when he saw who it was from.

"Xiu, I'm taking my break now. I'll be back in 15," he practically yelled as he ran towards the break room.

"Hmm... how do I reply to this?" he thought to himself.

"Hello! Yes, that works for me. I hope you've been well?" "No, that's too much," he thought while erasing it.

"Yes, that works for me. See you then :)"

"Is that too much? No, no it's fine," he quickly sent it before he had the chance to overthink it.

*Ding*

Kyungsoo looked over at his phone. His heart skipped a beat when he realized it was probably a reply from Yixing. He decided not to read it until tomorrow morning, he would let his mind rest for tonight. And so, the message from XingXing remained unopened on his phone for the rest of the night.
