Gone // Nct [Book 2 of letters]

seven.

"omg let's go inside the photo-booth!" chenle squeaked, tugging on the other's arm. the younger can be so soft at times which honestly made yuta's heart warm. just by being next to chenle he could tell they would become best-friends and each others support system. even though chenle's young, he knows a lot, yuta just doesn't know how he'll react if he finds out about his cuts.

"y-yuta?" looks like he was tuned out because he didn't respond, before chenle could ask any more questions he exclaimed excitedly "lets do it!" the good thing about the two is that they get along so well, before any of this, yuta interacted with absolutely no one.

i mean you can't blame him either, if it were you who lost someone close to you you wouldn't just jump up and go out like everything is normal. it takes time to heal from such a tragedy, this is why chenle was so glad yuta came along, it made him feel good about being able to make the other smile.

the photo-booth was quite roomy and there were little props along with it so yuta grabbed the mustache passing one to chenle. "make a goofy face hurry!" the two were having so much fun but it soon came to an end, the photos were done printing which to their surprise had two copies. "i'll frame it and put it next to my bed." hearing what chenle said made yuta giggle, "i will too."

after hours of roaming stores with little purchases the duo decided to call it a day. "do you wanna grab something to eat then head back?" yuta's feet are killing him but since today was such a success, he nodded, "sure why not." surprisingly it wasn't late, only 7:23 pm, walking at night time is scary, especially since chenle is underage and small so people would target him because of it.

the mall wasn't crowded as it was earlier so it was easy to find the nearest exit. thankfully, the exit they came from was the entrance, what are the odds.

even though it was dark, many people were out which is typical if you live in Seoul. there were so many food places left to right that neither of them could decide which to eat at. while they were walking, yuta noticed chenle was shivering so being the big brother he was, he took out a hoodie he bought and passed it to the younger. chenle gratefully took it mumbling a soft "thank you"

if they were being honest, all they wanted to do was head back to their dorms and order take out but yuta wasn't going to say anything. thank god chenle was thinking the same thing because after 20 minutes of walking to god knows where he said "i had a really fun day today, i'm really glad you came with me and i know i'm probably the last person you wanted to hang out with since i'm young and we're not close but hopefully we can hang out a lot more!! i kinda also wanna head back, order take out and watch movies with jisung." the younger became shy from the last sentence causing yuta to cheekily grin. "oh my god yes, i want the same thing but i didn't want to sound rude either." and with that, the two went back to their dorms doing whatever they pleased.

-

it would be an understatement if yuta didn't say he had a lot of fun. for the passed few days the boy would of never thought he would be able to move from his bed, he's glad someone like chenle came in and made him feel different kinds of happiness. there was one question that screamed at him all day though;

will he still accept me if he knew i harmed myself?

hopefully, chenle would never find out which is quite a long shot considering they have the group meeting in just a few days. yuta has to stay positive until then. the boy knows being positive will be hard because the only reason he harms himself is because he hates how he wasn't there to save sicheng. every second of the day the same scene plays inside his head. seeing the younger in so much pain hurt yuta, it hurt so bad he wanted to disappear...

to this day the boy can't say his goodbyes....only time will tell.
