letter #7

Dear Chan,

It's been two days, since May 26.

I'm really worried.

Where is your letter?

I miss y

Soonyoung stopped writing. He groaned and trashed the paper.

It has been two days since May 26. Soonyoung has been worried sick.

Ten years, Chan never broke his streak of sending letters on May 26. So why now?

Soonyoung's head banged against his desk and groaned.

He's busy, Soonyoung told himself. Maybe that's why he didn't send so many letters. Don't be conceited.

He sighed and clenched his fists and held back tears.

His phone started ringing and he was snapped out of his thoughts. He picked up the call.

"Yeobosayo?" Soonyoung said, holding up his phone to his ear.

"Hoshi-yah!" A voice said from the other side. "You wanna come with us today? We're going to this amusement park that just opened near us. Wanna come?" It was Jun.

"Wouldn't I already have heard of it if there was an amusement park opening near us?" Soonyoung asked with amusement. "Kidding, I just got busy. Sure, I guess. What time?"

"Maybe in an hour. Minghao, Hansol and Seungkwan will be joining us," Jun said.

Soonyoung hummed and said a tiny "okay" before hanging up. He exhaled loudly and stared up again at his ceiling, his facial features blank but his eyes flitted about, scanning the pictures stuck on his ceiling, their edges yellowing from age.

He stood up and stretched, taking off his shirt and flung his pants across the other side of the room with his legs and made his way to his bathroom.

Lazily, he took the orange toothbrush that was stuck to to the mirror with the suction-thing on the back, then putting the toothpaste on his teeth like a heathen.

He spat out the minty liquid in his mouth, removed his underwear, and turned on the shower.

He cringed as he felt the cold water on his skin but dealt with it and started lathering himself in soapy suds. Not without getting some of it in his mouth.

He quickly rinsed off and dried himself with a new towel, cursing as he forgot to bring clothes to the bathroom but shrugged it off.

Going through his closet, he got a white, slightly loose shirt, some jeans and decided to go steal his brother's combat boots. He also got a random black belt-like thing that he put over his thigh. He found out he could put his phone on it so he did so.

He combed his hair in front of the mirror and did some funny faces, laughing to himself like an idiot.

He stretched for a bit before getting his wallet, checking if his phone was still on the belt thing on his thigh, and stealing his sleeping brother's boots from his room. Thank god Jooheon was a deep sleeper.
