chapter five

hansols pov:

we played basketball together for about two hours, just running around, having fun. eventually, we both got tired, so we decided to rest for a while. "hey, do you want ice cream?" seungkwan suddenly asks. i nod, my mouth watering at the thought of it. we get up, gathering our stuff and walking off to the ice cream shop. on the way there, seungkwan excitedly rambles on about what flavours are his favourite, eventually asking about mine. we both keep talking excitedly about our favourite ice cream flavours when we arrive at the shop. seungkwan immediately walks up to the counter, mouthing to me that he'll pay. i start to protest, signalling that i'll pay for my own, but he already turned around to order. i decide to just let it go and search for a small table to sit at. not much later seungkwan arrives, holding both our ice creams. "here you go" he says, smiling, while putting my ice cream down in front of me. i smile back and mumble a quick "thank you" as he sits down in front of me. i look at how he starts eating his ice cream, and you can just see he's enjoying it. i smile to myself before starting to eat my own. we just sit there for a while, the both of us enjoying our ice cream, taking occasional glances at each other. i can tell seungkwan has already finished his ice cream, because he suddenly starts talking again. he just rambles on and on about how delicious he thought the ice cream was, and how glad he was that he got to eat it after a while again. because i still haven't finished my ice cream, i just sit there, listening to him. i then finish my ice as well, get up from my chair and take both our little paper bowls to the trash can to throw them away. i see seungkwan getting up and following me, so i decide to already walk towards the door. i wait for him, and casually open the door, signalling he should go out first. i then follow him, hearing him mumble something , but not quite getting what he said. "did you say something?" i ask. he just shakes his head, so i decide to let it go. i get my phone out of my pocket to look at the time, when i see multiple missed calls and texts from my mum. i immediately start worrying, hoping seungkwan wouldn't notice. "hey, are you alright?" i hear him ask. "yeah i just noticed that my mum has tried to call me a few times already, i think i should be going home" i say, giving him an apologetic smile. "it's okay! you shouldn't let your mum get more worried than she is already. will i see you again tomorrow?" i say yes, watching him smile. we end up deciding to meet at the same time as today and i then run home.

when i get home, i see my mum sitting on the couch, watching something on tv. i walk over to her, asking if something happened. "no, nothing happened, i was just kind of worried, because you hadn't told me you'd go out again. where did you go? did you have fun?" she asks, flashing me a small smile. i sit down next to her on the couch before starting to explain that i went to the basketball court. i keep talking excitedly until my mum stops me, saying that she'll prepare dinner. i nod, getting up from the couch and heading to my bedroom. i throw myself on the bed, laying there, waiting until my mom is gonna call me to come eat dinner. not too long after, she does, so i run downstairs, only now realising how hungry i was. when i enter the room, the amazing smell of ramen finds its way to my nostrils. i walk over to the table, sit down and wait for my mum to finish putting everything on the table. after about an hour, we have finally finished our dinner. i help my mum with cleaning up everything, and go upstairs again. i play around with my phone for a while before getting ready to go to bed. after coming back from the bathroom, i quickly turn on an alarm so i could walk around in town a bit before meeting seungkwan again. i put away my phone, and let my head fall back onto my pillow. i close my eyes and let sleep take over me once again.
