jungwoo was awaken by his face being licked by the dog. not lucas. he sat up confused, but remembered they had kept him.
"good morning," lucas smiled, sat on the end of his bed, "your face is a bit wet.."
jungwoo nodded, frowning, wiping his face before taking the puppy in his arms and cradling it, "im tired.." he whined, passing the dog to lucas.
"you can sleep for a little longer, im making breakfast so i'll come and get you when im done," lucas told him, putting the blanket back over him as he laid down again, "goodnight," he laughed, ruffling the boy's hair.
-
"not hungry?" lucas asked, as jungwoo poked at his food.
"i am, i'm just thinking." jungwoo explained.
"what about?"
"nothing important.."
lucas frowned, but let the boy think. he finished his breakfast, putting the plate on the table. he leaned back onto the couch, putting his arm around jungwoo.
"taste good?"
"really, really good," jungwoo smiled, looking up at lucas. he sunk into lucas' arm slowly, getting comfortable.
lucas took his empty plate, putting it stacked ontop of his own. "wanna go out today?"
"no, i just wanna stay here and relax," jungwoo said, staring at lucas' hand, "can i hold it?"
"hold what?"
"that," jungwoo laughed, pointing at his hand.
"of course," lucas smiled, as their hands collided together.
"how is your cat?" jungwoo asked, frowning.
"she's in china," lucas laughed, "i gave her to
my parents to take care of. you were a bigger priority in my life."
jungwoo grinned, his chest fluttering as lucas spoke.
"im more important than a cat!? thats shocking!" jungwoo exclaimed, genuinely shocked.
"yes, you are"
-
"the funeral is in a week, lucas," doyoung told him through the phone. lucas frowned with a small nod, knowing he'd have to take care of jungwoo, "do you need me to pick you two up?"
"yes please," he smiled.
"alright, we'll plan it closer to the day.. is woo okay?"
"he's doing alright, he's asleep at the moment, he's just taking a nap.." lucas smiled at the boy who was laying across his lap.
"alright, tell him i love him," doyoung laughed lightly, "i'll see you both soon.."
"bye!" lucas sang, before putting the phone down and rocking jungwoo like a baby.
he looked down at him with a look of sadness on his face. he just wanted to protect jungwoo for the rest of his life and keep him safe. he didn't know if jungwoo would want that though.
"lucas?" jungwoo laughed at the boy who had been staring at him for around a minute now, and hadn't realised jungwoo had awoken.
"o-oh, hello" he laughed, lifting jungwoo up and cradling him.
"hi," he giggled, "were you admiring my beauty??"
"of course," lucas said sarcastically, but in theory it was true.
-
the day of the funeral. they were in suits and lucas had helped jungwoo look extra smart. jungwoo looked into the mirror, adjusting his tie with a sigh. that's when he broke.
