Worry

The next day, Johnny tried to text Taeil, asking how he was and when they would next meet, but all he kept getting back was:

🌸Moon🌸
I don't know. Give me a moment.

And then he would reply,

You
Okay. I'm here if you need me x

He had been giving him a moment for seven hours. Ugh. It was because Yujin showed up, wasn't it? Because she turned up on the one day Taeil needed cheering up, as if that one small request was too much to ask? How long had Johnny known Taeil? It was getting up to, what, two months? Did Taeil not trust him enough to stay away from girls, let alone other people?

He groaned an dropped his head into his hands.

No. It was okay. Taeil was okay; he just needed space, and Johnny would give him that space. He could do that.

Ten minutes passed, and Johnny had started to chew at his index finger. He slapped it down from his mouth and huffed. "Don't be so stupid, he told himself and jumped to his feet. He should occupy himself if he wanted to get his mind off something.

On his aimless journey throughout the house, he stumbled across their vacuum cleaner - quite literally. His foot caught on the wire and sent him tumbling into the fluffy carpet of the upstairs corridor. He yelped in surprise and put both his arms out in front of him. He blinked wide and breathed shakily.

Oh. My. God. I'm weak! Why did I scream about that?! He laughed and sat on the floor, staring up at the machine. Cleaning... Maybe he could clean to take his mind off things?

~♡~

So, it turned out that cleaning the house, blasting his CDs out into the air was one of the best decisions he had made in his entire life ever.

Mark wasn't around to diss his music choice, nor to comment on how awful Johnny sounded when screaming lyrics - the wrong lyrics, because the American didn't actually know them - and it just freed his mind from all worries, and overall, he just felt more joyful.

"ARTISTIC GROOVE! GROOVE!" He 'sang' loudly as he swept the kitchen floor, twirling with the broom and using it as both a microphone and a dance partner.

He didn't even realise his phone had vibrated until the song ended, silence followed, and his phone buzzed again. It was a message from Ten, and he frowned because that wasn't exactly who he had been hoping to hear from.

Johnny swallowed to lubricate his suddenly dry throat. Jongin? Not good.
