and then.

lucas was panicking. well, actually he was just screaming into a pillow, kicking his legs up behind him then letting them flop down on the bed underneath him, the sound of dramatic sobs overlapping it all. and on top of that - giving jungwoo a painful headache.

it seemed like lucas was the one in pain rather than jungwoo.

jungwoo turns his computer chair towards the bed when another agonizing wail comes out of the giant. although it was muffled by the blue fabric wedged between him and the bed, it was quite obvious that the boy sounded in pain; or seemed to be.

"will you just shut the hell up already, lucas?" jungwoo hisses, hands going to wrap around the thick strands of his own hair. he was surprised he hadn't gone bald my now. "if i knew telling you what happened was going to resolve this way, then i would have kept my mouth shut. which is exactly what you should be doing."

another wail. and then a grunt.

lucas finally lifts his head up and jungwoo catches a glance of a patch of what seems to be the boy's tears, grimacing in both disgust and anger. absolutely repulsive.

with his body fully proped up against the headboard, the stained pillow tucked under his arm, and snot running down his nose, lucas still doesn't shut up.

"i-i just don't understand."

jungwoo cocks his head to the side, nothing but confusion written on his face. he sould truly be used to this. when lucas was upset about something, he never made sense. granted, his usual talk consisted of talking to a girl with your dick and how cute his dog is, but this wasn't a situation where those kind of talks were appropriate.

the giant sniffles, hand coming up to wipes away the snot ball on his upper lip and smearing it on jungwoo's comforter. he fights the urge to start punching and screaming - no use if it was gonna end with him and a bloody nose.

"it just really hurts when someone doesn't see how good of a person you are, you know? you're so patient with me and we're opposites, really fucking opposite from each other, but you don't point it out, woo. you dont make me feel bad for my flaws and you continue to put up with my ass." lucas pauses to catch his breath and then it's jungwoo who can't breathe.

was lucas okay? sure, he was a big baby and sure, he tended to be more sympathetic in some cases than others would be, but nonetheless, he had not once ever voiced his concern or talked to jungwoo about it.

lucas had been the first person jungwoo ran to when the scene with joy had ended and she had walked away, leaving him with the tears and snot balls. even in when he told lucas what went down, jungwoo's tears had dried up to nothing but anger for the girl - now it's just anger for the boy for being so loud and making his headache never ending.

it's silent for a bit, jungwoo finally processing that lucas for once was being serious and that their friendship meant a lot to the boy. not very surprising because he couldn't remember ever seeing lucas hang out with anyone but him and his sister.

"lucas," jungwoo starts, twisting his hands around, "you're not, uh, how do i say this? as annoying as i make it seem and, i guess, you're not that bad of a friend." that didn't seem right. "well- what i mean is, you're a good person, too. long legs and a big heart seems like a better way to describe you."

they both chuckle and it's silent again, but not uncomfortable this time - just a comforting one now.

then there's a sniffle, a loud one actually and it takes a while for both of them to realize it's neither of them.

"is someone outside your door, woo?"

jungwoo shushes him and stumbles out of his chair, darting to the door. he almost hesitates to open it for a moment, knowing that he has well knows nobody other than lucas and his sister. and the latter seemed pretty impossible to show up at his dorm door at ten at night.

so, with lucas still tucked away under the sheets and his tears wiped away and with the clicking of the air conditioner, jungwoo throws open the door.

"what the-"

the girl coughs and looks over his shoulder to see lucas peering over at her, equally curious.

"do you, by any chance, mind if i stay here for tonight?"
