GOOD Morning texts were definitely something San could get used to. He starred at the words longer than he needed and didn't close the chat with the one person who made him feel like he was something special even after he had replied. San was still laying in bed, almost covered entirely by his blanket so Yeosang had no chance of getting a glare at the message and was unusually late for getting ready for school. After they got back home yesterday and San had to keep walking up the stairs while Wooyoung vanished behind the door of his room, he just didn't want to sleep. In fact if he could turn back time he would relive this day over again and again. But somewhere between him laying in his bed, still smiling like a idiot and thinking about everything that happened he did fall asleep. And now the snow had melted over night, so there was no excuse for missing another school day, as his roommate had informed him basically the moment he had opened his eyes. San didn't really have anything against going to school today though, because it meant that he could stare at Wooyoung in class without it being to obvious. And maybe they would finally use their secret hiding spot behind the building for something different than to just silently sit in front of each other, while they were minding their own business. San secretly hoped that Wooyoung would open up to him even more after yesterday and that maybe some answers for all these questions in his head were on their way. He genuinely wanted to listen to everything Wooyoung may had to say.

The thought of Wooyoung's sweet tasting kisses made San jump out of bed, but not before locking his phone safely of course. When he turned around to rush to the bathroom he found Yeosang starring at him with an raised eyebrow. »What made you so eager to get out of bed all of the sudden?«, he asked, while starting to pack everything he needed for school today. San tried to drop his exited smile casually before answering. »I don't have much of a choice«, he said, with his voice sounding more rude than intended. Yeosang looked up from his books surprised and then shook his shoulders while sighting frustrated. »Whatever, I was just asking«, he said defensive, before continuing to pack his bag and not looking up at him again. San starred at the boy silently for a few seconds, but left his brother behind to get to the shower without saying anything in the end. There was nothing he could tell Yeosang to explain his actions and mood swings these past few weeks anyways. What was the happiest thing in Choi San's life right now, was also the most forbidden and complicated one at the same time. Of course San didn't intend being rude to him, but he just didn't know how to handle this situation differently.

Today he didn't mind that his brothers were being late with getting ready once again, because that meant he had a few moments with Wooyoung alone in the car, before they had to act like normal foster brothers in front of other people all day. The gray haired boy was sitting in the back row, as always, and was starring back at him in the rear view mirror. This was a habit they had already picked up the first time Wooyoung drove to school with them. Both of them were still too tired to say much to each other, but sharing some smiles was enough for them right now. Soon his foster brothers joined them in the car though and they were on their way to another normal day in school. It was almost like yesterday was just a dream, only that it wasn't. When San closed his eyes in the car this morning, to listen to the music that was being played on the radio, he could still feel Wooyoung's warm fingers on his body and hear his sweet whispers clearly. And San felt like nothing or no one could take this tingly feeling away from him. He didn't care about that the others were anything but happy to drive to school today, as Yunho and Mingi loud complained at least three times on their way, or that the teachers were so stressed to get the grades ready before the Christmas break, that they didn't even do any real studying anymore. As long as he could just be with Wooyoung without anyone coming between them, he was happy.
