Yuta's pov:
First thing that comes to my mind in the morning is Sicheng. I think about him while taking shower, while making coffee and while drinking it as well. In general I just can't stop thinking about my cute neighbour since that day we ate sushi together. I gave it some thought and I must admit that I was rather hot-blooded, saying I will win his heart and stuff like that. It's just ridiculous. I simply got excited and couldn't stop myself from imagining things. Like our future together for example. I was even picturing us going on dates, holding hands and all. I was thinking too highly of myself. He has a girlfriend after all. I'm not saying I will give up. But I should take it slow. I shouldn't focus on him so much. Yesterday I wasn't able to stop myslef from daydreaming even during my lecture at university. That's not good. So I hope today I will control myself. I look at the clock. It's time to go out. I spent to much time thinking about useless things again and now I have to hurry up or I'll be late.

Sicheng's pov:
My first two classes today got canceled because the teacher is sick. I shouldn't be happy about someone being ill, but I can't help it. Thanks to that fact I was able to get a good night's sleep. But I still need to attend 7 other lessons. Yesterday I was so happy when I found out about these lessons being canceled, but sadly time went by quickly and now I need to get going. I sigh while checking if I have everything I need. Books, books and even more books. Ehh whatever. I pick up my bag from the floor and start heading to the door. Then I go back. I should take the garbage out. I open the door. At the same moment Yuta opens door to his apartment. And, what's funny, he holds a bag of rubbish too.
"Hey! Nice seeing you Sicheng!" he exclaims.
"Uhmmm hello" I smile at him hoping it's looking natural and nonchalant.
"I see you're taking these out too" he laughs "Let's throw them out together"

We start walking side by side in silence. Two more minutes and we will reach our goal - a trashcan that is.

"That very romamtic" he suddenly avows.

I start to blush. What is-

"Throwing rubbish together, I mean. I just thought about it. Such a romantic thing to do right?" Yuta giggles.
I try to laugh but I'm too nervous just by being so close to him. And the word "romantic" coming out of Yuta's mouth surely gave me a little heart attack. He used it to describe the situation we are in.

We. Romantic.

"That was a terrible joke, I know. You don't have to force yourself to laugh" he adds.

I hope he didn't take me wrong. I'm not the type of person who fakes laugh. It's just that I'm quite tense around him.

"Okay we're here" he remarks a few steps later. He takes the bag from my hand.
"I'll take care of that for you"

I can't help blushing. So this whole throwing-out-trash-thing is indeed kinda romantic. It made me blush after all. I don't really like house chores. But ironically, I feel like all I  wanna do now is throwing out trash. Like for the rest of my life. If Yuta is going to do it with me I don't mind. I will carry bags of rubbish till the day I die.

But then Yuta interrupts my stupid dream about taking garbage out with him (I guess I can call it a dream lol)
"Hey! Are you spacing out?"
"Ohh I'm..." I try to say something, but I miserably fail.
"Well I said I gotta go. I wish I could chat with you more, but I don't want to be late! See ya Sicheng!"
"Yeah, I'm in a rush too. Bye Yuta"

That's like the longest sentence in Korean I ever made without stuttering.

Yuta's pov:
I hope I will make it to the bus. It is supposed to be there in a minute, so if I run I should be just in time. I speed up and for a short while I'm free. Free from thoughts of Sicheng. I'm focused only on getting to the bus stop. That's my goal right now. Thankfully bus is still there when I arrive. I take place in the back and start rummaging through my bag in order to find a bottle of water. Bus slowly moves forward and at some moment my eye catches Sicheng. Ohh gosh I must've made him uncomfortable with that weird joke. I should be more careful with words next time. I don't want him to see through me and reject me.

Well, if he won't like me and end up rejecting me then there's nothing I can do.
But not yet.

He doesn't need to know about it now. And he doesn't need to know I observe him through the window. He's walking in the same way my bus is going. But I guess his destination isn't far away since instead of taking public transport he goes by foot. Or maybe he just likes walking so much? I would want to know that. Does he like exercising or is he rather lazy? What kind of sports does he like if there are any? What kind of person is he?
But also
Where is he going? Who is he meeting? Would he want to meet up with me sometimes?

Idk if there was someone waiting for an update, but if that's the case then I'm sorry, please forgive me for taking such a long break from writing 🙏

Also

If someone has any advice on how to keep going while having many ults, please let me know bc I'm floundering right here (ಥ_ʖಥ)
I'm so whipped for Johnny lately I don't know what I should do...
