*ring*

*ring*

Jihoon listened to the dull ringing his phone gave off as he called Woojin. He waited until he got sent to voicemail the automated message playing. He assumed Woojins phone had died but could feel a slight worry remembering that his phone wouldn't ring if it were dead.

A couple minutes passed and Jihoon picked up his phone calling Woojin again. It rung for a while and Jihoon was about to give up when the other line picked up.

"Woojin?" Jihoon said.

"...yeah?..."  Woojin replied.

"Sorry, you didn't pick up I was worried. Everything ok?" Jihoon said.

"Um.....I'm....." Woojins said his voice obviously breaking.

"Woojin?" Jihoon said becoming more worried.

"J..Jihoon...I...I..." Woojin stuttered it sounded like he was having trouble breathing.

"Where are you?"

"..t...the park..." Woojin replied.

"I'm coming stay put," Jihoon said.

"Ok-" Jihoon heard Woojin start to say before his phone cut off.

"What?" Jihoon yelled to himself realizing his phone died, "crap.."

Jihoon practically flew out of the dorm to the park looking around for signs of Woojin.

The park was big.

Very big.

Jihoon was determined though.

Extremely determined.

It took about ten minutes until Jihoon saw a small trail of red. He hoped deep down it wasn't what he thought it was, but it was. He turned into a small open area of the park and was met with Woojin. Crumpled in a ball, blood...all over him.

"WOOJIN!" Jihoon yelled rushing over to him.

Woojin looked up his eyes red and blurred from his panic to breathe.

"Oh my god....oh....my...god...what happened?!" Jihoon said as he inspected Woojin seeing all the cuts and remains of broken glass.

"I....I don't know....I..." Woojin said trying to catch his breath.

"Hey just breathe.." Jihoon whispered to Woojin. Before he reached out to hug him, Jihoon stroked the back of Woojins head providing as much reassurance as he could. Deep down wished he had gone with him, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

"I...I'm...sorry..." Woojin said pulling out of the hug.

"Sorry for what?" Jihoon said looking at Woojins face.

"I....I always drag you into my...m..mess of a life..." Woojin said avoiding eye contact with Jihoon suddenly.

"Woojin....look at me," Jihoon said holding Woojins hands in his causing Woojin to look up at him, "your not dragging me into anything, if I didn't want to be in your life I wouldn't be here right now."

"........r..really?" Woojin said a small smile appearing on his face.

"Yeah really, now come on let's go to my dorm and get you fixed up," Jihoon said signaling for Woojin to get on his back.

Woojin hesitated for a moment but eventually complied and let Jihoon carry him on his back.

Jihoon wasn't the strongest but Woojin wasn't the heaviest either so it worked out. He carried Woojin on his back to his dorm and sat Woojin down on the couch immediately going to get his first aid kit.

"Ouch..." Woojin whined as Jihoon treated his wounds.

"Shush you little baby, you have cuts all over how did this even happen?" Jihoon asked bandaging Woojins arm which was severely cut.

"Uh....glass?" Woojin said looking away from Jihoon.

"Ok....you don't have to explain right now, but maybe later if your up for it." Jihoon said cupping Woojins face in his hands.

"Yeah...I will.." Woojin said puffing his cheeks up and widening his eyes a bit.

"Cute," Jihoon said not realizing he had spoken his thoughts out loud.

"W..what?!" Woojin said his face becoming flushed.

"I..uh..I....n..nothing! I didn't say anything!" Jihoon said covering his face.

The both went quiet for a moment not sure of what to say.

Suddenly the pipe underneath the sink burst open, water began to spray everywhere startling both Woojin and Jihoon.

"NOT AGAIN!" Jihoon yelled running over to the sink.

"What? What is happening?!" Woojin said following Jihoon.

"The stupid pipe! AHHH!" Jihoon said twisting the pipe which just created more water spraying him directly in the face.

Woojin reached out and covered the leak with his hands water spraying everywhere again.

"WHAT DO WE DO?!" Jihoon yelled over the spraying water.

"I don't knlsaggdhs" Woojin said water spraying in his face before he could finish his sentence.

"UHH...AHH...HERE!" Jihoon said turning a knob which turned off all water in the dorm.

".....well....that was fun...." Woojin said looking over at Jihoon, they both were SOAKED.

Jihoon burst into laughter as Woojin did as well they laughed for a while until they realized they needed to clean up.

They cleaned up all the water,changed clothes, and both plopped onto the couch tired.

"The amount of bad luck we have is terrible..." Jihoon said practically falling asleep.

"Yeah...." Woojin agreed not that physically tired but mentally exhausted.

"Hey Woojin?..." Jihoon said sleepily.

"Mhm?" Woojin hummed in reply.

"I'm always here for you....remember that, ok?" Jihoon said his voice getting quieter.

"Yeah..." Woojin said with a small smile."Jihoon?"

"I...I think I-" Woojin began to say before he felt a warm body against his shoulder.

Woojin laughed to himself looking over at Jihoons sleeping face.

"I love you....goodnight.."
