With Yoosung

You rang the doorbell at Yoosung's apartment for the umpteenth time, checking the time on your phone.

8:17 AM.

Ideally, you should have left on the 7:45 bus but you'd accidentally overslept, and after rushing over to get Yoosung like you usually did and buzzing his door for ten minutes it would seem as though he had too.

There was still no reply.

"DAMN IT YOOSUNG!" You swore, bringing up his number on your phone and dialling. You heard the faint sound of the LOLOL theme music on the other side of the door, and a faint sleepy moan from your best friend as he woke.

"W-ho is this...?" His usual soft voice was thick with drowsiness, "Seven?"

He reminded you of those sleepy puppy GIFs you'd seen while online and just the thought of Yoosung struggling to keep his eyes open as he stayed on the phone; blonde hair tousled and unkempt, made you smile.

"It's me," you said, "MC."

THUMP.

You heard it through the door, but it became obvious that he'd also sent his phone flying too. Groaning in pain, you heard him recover his phone and babble apologies over and over.

"Gah~ Sorry MC, you just startled me. I can't believe I fell out of bed, that's so embarrassing–"

"Yoosung!" You prompted, and he fell silent.

"Check the time," you told him.

Three.

Two.

One.

"OHMYGOD WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!"

Ten minutes later the pair of you had just managed to catch the 8:30 bus, and you fell into the nearest empty seats, gasping for breath. You took in Yoosung's appearance properly and noted the dark circles under his eyes.

"Did you oversleep because of LOLOL again?" You rolled your eyes, hoping he wouldn't notice your own dark circles.

What can you say, that game was addictive.

But he let his head rest against the window pane and sighed, eyes closing.

"Not last night... I was cleaning up... and I found some old photo albums..."

A flicker of understanding.

"Rika?" You asked, "Her anniversary is coming up soon isn't it?"

His eyes shot open, "How did you know?"

"It's something important to you silly, of course I'd remember!"

He blushed in spite himself and you took the opportunity to place your hand over his with a reassuring smile, "You've never really spoken to me about her, but I know Rika was really important to you, so... I'm always here if you ever want to talk. I know it isn't much compared to her, but I can be your family too."

His expression became bittersweet; looking as though he wished to say something else, but resigned himself to leaning against the window again.

You clicked your tongue in disapproval, "That's not good for your neck, Yoosung."

As if to prove your point the bus suddenly jolted and Yoosung's head rapped into the glass, making him yelp in surprise.

Sighing, you poked his cheek and gestured for him to use your shoulder.
