Taeil goes out with his earphones on and phone in his pocket, ready to jog in the early morning. It's Saturday today and Taeil doesn't have any plans, so he figured he should go jogging since he felt like he needed to exercise, especially since nowadays he doesn't have the time for it — or he does but he's lazy.
After putting on shuffle, Taeil readies himself and starts jogging around the area. He runs around the place in circles, with upbeat music playing in his phone, his mind clear and free from worries.
He sees a few people around, though most of them are either going somewhere, out for a walk, or taking out trash. Taeil looks up at the sky and hums, thinking about how the sun hasn't come up yet.
"I guess I woke up too early," Taeil muttered under his breath. He has forgotten about the time he got up, but he doesn't care right now. He continues jogging, making sure to take breaks when he's tired.
He continued jogging until he decided to take a break and look for a vending machine. He finds a vending machine and bought a bottle of water, then sat down on a bench. He uncaps the bottle of water and starts drinking from it.
Taeil sighed with relief and caps the bottle. While resting, he gazes at the sky, finding the view beautiful, especially with how the sun is starting to come up. He smiles with satisfaction while moving his legs to the beat of the music playing in his phone.
As Taeil turned his attention away from the sky, he notices a person in front of him. At first, he thought they were just walking around or going somewhere, until he realized that they're walking right to his direction. Not only that, but as Taeil got a closer look, he realized the person is Ten.
Just in case, Taeil takes one earbud out and makes eye contact with Ten. Eventually Ten got near him and stopped, now standing in front of him. "Hey there! You're up pretty early."
"Huh? Yeah," Taeil mumbled awkwardly, enough for Ten to hear. "What's up?"
Ten looks at Taeil's phone laying on the bench and stares at the screen, ignoring Taeil's question. "Love & Live?"
"Oh, uh-"
"You have good taste," Ten said. He proceeded to sit next to Taeil and Taeil looks at the earbud he's holding. He hands it to Ten and the latter accepted it, listening with Taeil. "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"I was just jogging, you?"
"Eh, no reason. I just felt like going out here," Ten replied.
"Weren't you sick?" Taeil asked when he recalled what Taeyong said.
"How did you know that?"
"Taeyong told me."
"Taeyong? Oh, so you know him," Ten grinned. "I recovered pretty fast, so I don't feel like hell now."
"That's good," Taeil smiled.
The music then changes and Ten's brows furrow with confusion. He brings his hand up and snaps his fingers a few times, trying to remember what song was playing. "This song is... Is it Hot Summer?"
