꒰ JOUJOU ꒱ - JOOKYUN ˎˊ˗

☕ || fourteen.

"you think he knows?" hyunwoo leaned closer to changkyun, studying his worried expression.

"i don't know..." changkyun's eyebrows curled upwards. he was only getting more and more nervous as time passed. he was pretty sure that he was exaggerating at some point. "he was probably too sleepy to figure it out... i have no idea..." he rubbed his face against the back of his palms. "if he's figured it out already, i really don't want to go back there. it would be too awkward."

after changkyun placed his hands down on the table, hyunwoo put his own hands over them and gave them a light squeeze.

he was trying to think of something reassuring to tell him. but he had to be realistic about it and changkyun had to face reality, too. "it was easy when you were in separate rooms with your previous roommates but now you two are in the same room he will eventually figure it out if he already hasn't. you can't hide forever, changkyun."

changkyun pouted, resting his head on hyunwoo's shoulder. he was blankly staring at his cup of tea.

he was starting to realize how much he regretted every single time they cuddled. which so far has been only three times. but it was still more than enough.

he had no idea how he got away the first time but this time he made a mistake.

"just stay away from him for a while. i  will talk with him if that's going to make you feel calmer."

"you won't tell him anything, right?" hyunwoo only shrugged. "hyunwoo, i haven't hidden for years and undergoing all this bullshit for someone random to appear and ruin everything just because i was stupid enough to have a crush on him and want to be close to him because i need affection."

hyunwoo let out a sigh. he wrapped an arm around changkyun's shoulders. he had no idea how to proceed in a situation like that. he didn't know how to make changkyun feel better either.

the only thing he could do was point out facts but changkyun currently didn't need that but reassurance that everything was going to be alright. hyunwoo wasn't good with words when it came to reassurance.

he wasn't even sure what kind of a person jooheon was. he could kick changkyun out for all he knew.

"you can stay here for the night. i will make hyungwon sleep on the couch if i have to."

hyunwoo's heart warmed up as changkyun let out a quiet laugh. "nah, it's okay. i won't make more drama around this."

"but you will call me if something happens, right?"

"of course."

changkyun stayed in hyunwoo's apartment, keeping him company until hyungwon came back, too.

he had no idea why did hyunwoo prefer to live with hyungwon when he had a quite serious relationship with someone else. he didn't question it though. hyunwoo was probably not ready to live with her yet and changkyun understood him.

he didn't know how he could be so understanding about most things and helped everyone when they had a problem but he was having an internal panic attack when he only thought about trying to figure out how to solve his own problems.
