Clairvoyant ∞ SOONHOON

12

It was seven a.m. in the morning, just a quarter before eight, and eventually, the kids had fallen asleep and Seungcheol's parents never came back inside after walking out.

They were all seated on the sofa, all sleeping soundlessly. Jeonghan's head was leaning against the wall beside him, Junhui was leaning onto Jeonghan, Minghao onto Junhui, Hansol onto Minghao, Jihoon onto Hansol and Soonyoung onto Jihoon.

Their sleep was peaceful despite their position, but Soonyoung was awaken when he heard his phone rang aloud.

Soonyoung almost hopped off his seat, but he shook in surprise before he hurriedly take his phone out and turn it silent or else the others will be disturbed too.

He quickly answered the call after seeing Seokmin's name on the caller ID. Jihoon felt Soonyoung move beside him so he too was shaken off from sleep.

He looked at Soonyoung as he stands up to walk out of the room and talk to Seokmin through the phone. "Seoks," he whispered before heading out.

Jihoon didn't want to eavesdrop, but he knew he has to inform Seokmin about the situation so they wouldn't be worried of Soonyoung, so he followed Soonyoung.

When Soonyoung noticed Jihoon going out too, he looked at him. He saw the drowsiness on his face, the worry and the restlessness that he acquired in just a couple of hours.

"Hey," Soonyoung said, slightly moving the phone away so Seokmin wouldn't hear. "Did I wake you up?"

Jihoon shook his head. "It's okay," he said, and smiled sleepily. "Is it Seokmin?"

Soonyoung nodded. "Mm. He's asking where I am."

"Can I talk to him?" Jihoon asked. "Or put it on loudspeaker instead so we'd both hear him and talk to him. . ."

"Sure," he answered, then put the call on loudspeaker. "Seoks."

"Soonyoung! Answer me right now, where are you?!" Seokmin shouted, outraged, worried and annoyed.

"God, Seokmin, calm down. I'm fine," Soonyoung said. "Jihoon wants to speak to you."

"What?" Seokmin asked. "Jihoon?!"

Soonyoung sighed. "I'm with Jihoon right now, andㅡ"

"What the hell, Soonyoung?! You're with that guy again?!" Seokmin asked, sounding upset being reminded of Jihoon.

Soonyoung glanced at Jihoon, catching him ducking his head. "Seokmin, he can hear you. Listen to me, I am in Seoul, okay?"

"Seoul? What on earth are you doing in Seoul?" Seokmin asked again, the worry in his voice never fading. "And why are you with Jihoon?"

"Let me talk to him," Jihoon whispered, but Soonyoung shook his head.

"He's mad at you, just let me explain this," Soonyoung said, and smiled at him. "It'll be fine."

"Ya, Soonyoung! Talk to me!"

"Seoks, Jihoon received a call last night. His boyfriend was in coma right now so we had to rush here in Seoul to get to him, okay? Seokmin, I will be fine. I won't attend classes today, and I'll be staying here with Jihoon until we both go back to Incheon. We'll be fine, Seoksㅡ"

"You're staying with Jihoon?" Seokmin echoed, then he scoffed. "Why were you with him last night, huh? And why would you stay with him?"

"I'm in the same apartment as Jihoon. We'll be staying together until I don't know when, do you get me? Now stop using that tone, he is listening. I'll stay with Jihoon, and that's it. No more explanations. I will be fine, and we will be back as soon as Jihoon will be ready to leave Seoul. Byeㅡ"
