"Hyung, wake up." Hanbin whispered as he gently moved Jinhwan's limb around. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon, and judging by the fact that the older was still not awake, Hanbin supsected that Jinhwan has been staying up and crying by himself all night, causing him to sleep in.

Hanbin mentally scolded himself for letting the older cry alone, he could have stayed up with him and told him that he was there, but all of his thoughts bursted away from his mind like a bubble, after noticing that Jinhwan's eyes fluttered open as his eyebrows met.

Jinhwan squinted his eyes as he stretched out his arms, noticing the younger that stood beside his bed.

"You overslept." Hanbin crossed his arms on top of his chest, pitifully looking down on the latter's eyes that were swollen from crying.

"Sorry." Was all the older could say, earning a sigh from Hanbin, who shook his head while he was at it. Jinhwan lazily sat up on the edge of the soft mattress, slouching down with his palms covering his knees. He didn't know how to react, so he just looked down on his feet, waiting for Hanbin to either tell him something else, or leave.

"There's food in the fridge, if you're feeling hungry or something." Hanbin said, scratching the back of his neck, earning a nod and a 'thank you' from the older.

Jinhwan proceeded to the bathroom to go fix his hair, while the younger sat down on his own bed, watching as his roommate walked slowly to the bathroom, closing the door afterwards.

He walked towards the sink, catching a glimpse of his own reflection on the mirror above it. Jinhwan could see the tiredness in his face, how his eyes became dark and droopy, his hair looked like it's gone through a storm, his whole appearance, it wasn't a good sight at all, which honestly made him feel insecure. He couldn't help but feel pity for himself.

"Maybe this is why he did that. I mean, nobody would kiss another person if they're satisfied with their current partners right?"

Jinhwan sighed at the thought that ran all over his mind. He tried his very best to hold his tears from falling again. He's grown tired of crying, even though it helped a little sometimes, he never realized how draining it was until he cried so many times for the past few days.

"I have a lot of thoughts... in my mind."

Hanbin laughed at the ridiculously obvious statement, almost a little to loud as his eyes remained locked on Jinhwan, who poked his food after taking occasional little bites, not bothering to look up and stare at the younger who sat in front of him. He was thankful that the table was between them, or else the younger would've been too close to him.

"Correction, you have a lot of about everything in your mind."

Jinhwan forced a chuckle as he took another tiny spoonful of his food.

"Which is why.... we should...."

"You should just be with me instead."

Hanbin immediately got rid of the thought as he saw Jinhwan, who was waiting for the continuation to his sentence, look up at him.

"Which is why we should do something outside. Shake things off for a little." Hanbin smiled.

"Where would that be?"

"Uh... I don't know. Like a bar or something?"

Jinhwan looked at Hanbin. "Are you telling me that we should drink?"

The younger shrugged his shoulders, and then looked back at Jinhwan. "Maybe. That would be a nice thing to do. Plus we don't ever get the chance to do this a lot."
