Chapter 5

"That's a strange answer." Changmin quietly sipped on the drink he bought not too long ago. "Do you mind if I ask you some questions, Changmin?" "Fire away." "What do you do for fun?" "I dance. I find it relaxing despite how tired it makes you after a while. My siblings and I used to have one day that we dedicated to spending time with each other." "Used to?" Younghoon waited for an answer but Changmin remained mute. "Moving on then. When is your birthday?" "November 4th." "Favorite color?" "The sky." "Are you close with your family?" He noticed Changmin had took his time as he looked lost in thought. "No." Younghoon looked at his wrist and confirmed that it was true. The yellow strings were so light you'd think they were transparent. However, he didn't know why the yellow strings were loose around his wrist.

"Do you live far from the school?" "Nah. It's a nice walk." Younghoon wasn't sure what else he could ask without invading his privacy. "Is that all?" "Yeah." "Then, you answer those same questions." "Well, I like to play video games with my younger brother. I also like just sitting in a cafe and drinking some coffee on a nice day." "That's cute. Maybe I should join you one day." Younghoon smiled then thought of the other questions. "My birthday is August 8th. Favorite color is also the sky. I am close with my family. I feel I can go to them for anything. I don't live too far from school. It's only three stops away." "Seems like we both love the sky, eh?" "Seems to be the case." Changmin held his drink out to Younghoon. "Want a sip?" "I'm fine. Thank you for the offer though."

Younghoon noticed Changmin had started yawning and would occasionally close his eyes. "Are you tired? You can always go home. I'll be fine." "I wasn't tired before. And I'm not that eager to just leave you." "They do say you yawn around someone or people that you're comfortable with." He heard Changmin chuckle which caused a smile to creep onto his face. "I guess I am." He noticed that Changmin had looked serious for a moment then went back to his softness. "Do you feel like you've known me for like, forever? 'Cause I do towards you. Usually it isn't this easy to just talk to someone you've just met, you know?" "I do. It's interesting now that I think about it. Though, I'm glad because you're a cool guy." "So are you." They fist bumped then left the convenience store.

"Are you going home now?" "Yeah. After the shift I just had, I'm gonna need a lot of sleep. You should stop by more often." "I'll take note of that. Be safe getting home." "You too." Younghoon walked away then checked the time on his phone. He sighed as it was only a little after 3:10. "Younghoon!" He turned around and saw Changmin jogging over to him. "You know, sleep can wait. Let's go do something fun." "Are you sure? Sleep is important." Changmin grabbed his wrist and started pulling him down the street.

"Woah, I didn't know there was a place like this." "You should wander around more. There's also this place that sells vintage clothing. We can check that out too." "Changmin, you're amazing." It made Younghoon happy to see a smile on his face as he didn't show one often. They walked into the arcade and decided to stick together. "What about this one?" "Seems fun." They started up a game of air hockey and Younghoon couldn't believe how aggressive Changmin had become. "3 more points and I win Younghoon." "I'm aware. You're so vicious." "You can't win by being soft." Younghoon sighed then decided it was time to let loose. After a fierce battle, Younghoon had won in the end. "Remind me to never taunt you." Younghoon winked then dragged Changmin to another game.

After playing the games they wanted, they crossed over to the vintage store. "Strange, I don't feel tired anymore despite having done physically draining things." Younghoon shrugged then ushered him into the store. He took in the sight before him as everything seemed eye catching to him. One section caught his attention and he walked over to it. "These are nice shirts...It's a shame that I can't afford it." "It does suit you." Younghoon put the shirt back and continued to look around.

They walked out and noticed the sky had gotten darker. "Well, I had fun." "Same here. Things seem better with you, as strange as that may sound." Younghoon felt a tug and tightness then noticed it was two strings, Juyeon's and Changmin's. "This is weird..." Younghoon ushered Changmin back into the store so he could get a better look at the strings. A loud sound was heard and they all looked out to see what it was. "The overhead sign fell...That lazy employee didn't fasten it right..." They watched the fuming employee dial a number on the phone. "We were just standing there too..." Younghoon suddenly remembered then dialed Juyeon's number. "I'm sorry Changmin. I have to go." He quickly exited the store and made his way to Juyeon's.
