"Yo, Youngjae." Yugyeom said, laying on his bed. A smug smile was decorating his lips while he was looking up to Youngjae who just came back from his and Jaebums little meeting. "How was your date?"

"What the- It wasn't a date!" Youngjae said offended before taking the pillow from his own bed. Without any hesitation he threw it at his roommate to shut him up, but instead he broke out in laughter. Youngjae sighed.

"But yeah, it went surprisingly good. We talked a lot." The elder smiled to himself, thinking about Jaebums words, their little promise that he would protect him from now on. "Ah, and did you know that he and Mark aren't friends anymore? Im glad they aren't. And... I also gotta say... he looked really good..."

"God, you're so freaking whipped for that Jaebum guy." Yugyeom laughed to which Youngjae could just roll his eyes. He was such an asshole sometimes even though he had to admit he was kind of right. Maybe he was a tiny bit crushing on Jaebum, so what?

Without deepening their little discussion any further, Youngjae changed into some more comfortable clothes and threw himself on his bed. He took his phone and started to play some game. It was almost like routine for them, just sitting or in that case laying together in silence while doing their own thing. It wasn't boring, no, in fact Youngjae always enjoyed spending sundays together with Yugyeom.

After finishing his level, Youngjae glanced to his right, where Yugyeom was currently laying. He was busy reading some book he bought recently. He didn't really want to disturb his best friend, so he opened his messenger instead.

Youngjae
Hey, Jaebummie :)

Jaebummie
Hey Youngjae! I hope you enjoyed our meeting yesterday because I did.

The blonde boy smiled to himself, happy that they seemed to be able to text normally again. It's been a while.

Youngjae
Of course I did, why wouldn't I? Also I wanted to apologize for causing all that trouble the recent days...

Jaebummie
No I should be apologizing here. Again, nothing is your fault Jaejae, it's totally understandable and I forgive you.

Youngjae
Somehow I feel like it's especially me who should say sorry. I've been a mess. Also don't call me Jaejae!

Jaebummie
Don't. Let's start all over again and be friends again okay? Also that nicknames just karma for calling me Jaebummie lol.

Youngjae
Okay, that's fair I guess haha. Anyways let's do that. We're seeing each other tomorrow, right?

Jaebummie
Of course we will. Do you want to hang out at lunch?

Youngjae
You know my answer, I'd love to. Ah, it feels good to text each other like this again don't you think?

Jaebummie
Yeah it really does. If you excuse me now I got to go, still got some homework to do ew. Have a great day Jaejae.

Youngjae
Yeah, you too Jaebummie.

Youngjae didn't notice a smile gradually forming on his lips nor his heart speeding up during their conversation. He didn't even know what to call this exciting feeling which made him feel like flying, which made him feel so happy like he just entered heaven. In the end, he just decided to call it the love between two friends.

Before Youngjae knew, it was monday again. Another one of those terrible, draining school days. The boy didn't expect a rose to be lying in his locker as he got his stuff from the following lesson, but it did. They've stopped last week. I wonder why Youngjae thought and smiled to himself, knowing exactly why.
