Misunderstandings [Yuto x Wooseok]

2; confusing, drunk thoughts

"Enough, Mr. Jung. We want you to leave. Right. Now. You'll receive this months salary at the end of the month but that's your last one. Leave your name tag here. And make sure not to take groceries you didn't purchase with you this time."

"B-but you ca-"

"I said enough," he said as he left, walking away from the office with angry steps.

I didn't know what to do or what to think, everything was spinning around me.

I just.. got fired.

I grabbed my bag, laying the things I was told to leave there on the table, trying to calm down.

The pressure inside of my chest was growing by ever minute.

By the time I went through the exit I was already running.

It was already dark outside when I was taking my bike and started driving  towards my home, my head full of confusing thought.

I never knew losing this job would affect me this much.

I felt how my stomach grew weaker and weaker and when I felt water dripping down y cheeks I had to check if I was crying or if it was just raining.

When I arrived home I threw my bike in the garage, closed it and ran to the door, unlocking it.

Quickly unlocking the door and stepping inside I also hurried the stairs up, finally arriving at my apartment door, also unlocking it and rushing inside.

I threw my back pack at the floor and my jacket over the coat rack, taking my phone outside.

All I wanted to do was get rid of this odd feeling and just... forget what happened.

At least for a short time.

Maybe that thought was why I ended up sitting in front of my window with a bottle of Soju, not really being sober anymore when I received a phone call.

I tried my best to focus on the screen to see who was calling me at such a late hour but I couln't.

I shrugged and accepted the call, mumbling a "'Sup?" in my phone.

"Hey, it's me.. uhh.. are you okay?" I wasn't able to recognize the voice by now.

"Yeea, why u askin'?"

"Oh my Lord..  Wooseok, are you drunk??" It was Kino. And I only recognized it because his voice always cracks whenever he panics.

"Heh", I let out a silent chuckle, "who cares?"

"Obviously I do, you fucking idiot." He seemed to get mad but it was not like I cared anyways.

"If you're not going to tel me why the hell you are drunk, Wooseok, I swear, I'm coming over and beat your stupid ass up."

I swung my head to the clock and shook my head.

"You better stay home. Or with hat boyfriend-dude of yours. I can live on my own."

"Wooseok!", now his voice was really threatening.

"Cool down mate. I only got fired, nothing big.."

I can't tell if I said this because I didn't want Kino to freak out or if I was just trying to covince myself.

"You- wHAT?", he yelled.

"Yo stop screaming, it hurts." I chuckled.

Silence.

"Wooseok."

This was everything I needed to get kicked in a less funny mood.

Whenever I was drinking I switched moods real quick and Kino knew that.

He knew I wasn't drinking for fun.

He knew there was something seriously wrong.

And now I also remembered.

Looking at the empty bottle of Soju I got flashbacks to what my boss said to me earlier, nearly tearing up.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"Wooseok, what the hell happened."

"I-I got fired because my boss thinks I stole things from the Grocery shop multiple times and I wont be able to pay my rent anymore this way. I can't even find a new job because they won't take students."

There were some seconds of silence before I heard some weird noises from my phone, as if Kino was pulling his phone over his bed, ruffling the blankets.

"So.. you need someone to offer you a place to live?" he asked with a calm voice.

"Yes. No! I mean no! All I need is a job.."

I heard a voice from Kinos side I barely heard. "I can Take him to my home tho"

"Really? That would be great..", Kino answered the person.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked curiously.

"You remember the boy that picked me up earlier, don't you?"

"Yea.. What's it with him?" I narrowed my eyebrows.

"He.. He told me he could let you live with him."

I froze.

"What?", I said.

I understood what he said and he knew that.

He remained silent.

"There's no way I'm doing that Kino, I'm not going to move into your boyfri-"

"Wooseok.", he interrupted me, "you said that you won't get a new job anyways so there's o other way for you than finding a new home. And since you can't pay rent anywhere you just got the best offer someone could give you. I don't understand why you're hesitating."

"I can't live with a stranger, Kino!" And I can't live with a stranger that is your boyfriend and makes me feel weird things.

"Collect your fucking self, Wooseok. You don't really have another opportunity if you don't want to live with your parents. You know I don't have enough space left. And you're not gonna drop out of University."

"Hmpf.", I mumbled.

"Go to sleep, you drunk idiot," he mocked me.

"Mhh I will.", I said as I ended the phone call.

I sighed.

Living with this boy doesn't sound too bad.

He seemed to have good manners anyways.

The only thing that was disturbing me was the fact that he was in a committed relationship with my best friend.

I put a hand to my temple, feeling how hot my head was.

Putting the bottle down I decided it would be the best if I just go to sleep and see how things wil go tomorrow.

What I didn't know was that Kino and his handsome boyfriend were already planning how I move to him and what happens then.
