When the sun sets I'll be the one who will stand by your side and when the sun rises again, I'll be the first thing you'll see in the morning ♡
A smile arose on Taeil's face. He quickly folded the paper after reading the message and put it into his pocket while walking away from his locker.
It wasn't anything new, the notes. It was something regular, something he was met with daily, call it a routine or perhaps a habit. But it was mostly their way of communicating, Taeil and Doyoung's.
When the rainy days came and their sensitive emotions bubbled, they felt more comfortable like this. Letters left at the most random places, texts sent whenever they wanted—they interacted but not directly. And when they were in a happier mood or on the other hand too lonely, the two cuddled.
It worked for them perfectly.
Now when it was a few days before the big exam and both of the boys were more than stressed out, everything around them seemed to be too annoying or unbearable. Therefore, the decision to express their love in this form was the best choice for their mental health right now. It didn't mean they loved each other any less, they were just putting distance between them.
Yet, as hours passed and lonely minutes increased, Taeil felt a heavy weight on his chest as he put another love letter into his small box and looked over another bed in his room he was currently in. Since Doyoung and Taeil were roommates, the task to stay away was even harder. The only thing that helped them, for now, was their timetables that didn't really match, the same as their height or their different personalities that completed each other so perfectly.
Taeil heaved a sigh. He missed Doyoung.

"Finally!" Johnny threw out a paper from his chocolate as he leaned his back against the backboard of a bench, totally drained out. Taeil chuckled at his friend's expression but he still sympathised with him — the exams got all of them.
Just as he was about to sit next to him, something inside his pocket buzzed and he winced. He almost forgot he had his phone with him the whole time and he thanked God it didn't chime while he was in class. Ignoring the little panic, Taeil unlocked his phone to see what was he needed for.
His heart jumped a bit as he ran his eyes over notification.
Come to our room, I'll wait for you there
No emoji, no dorky attitude from the boy he knew and loved so much. The panic came back but in a completely new form. He was scared and anxious.
"Hello?"
After he bid his goodbye to Johnny, Taeil hurried towards his shared room to see if Doyoung is already there and to prepare himself for the worst.
