y/n: "Hello?"
soobin: "Hey. Are you home?"
y/n: "Yeah but I can't leave the apartment right now. My mom is home. Sorry."
soobin: "No, that's okay. You don't need to come out. Is everyone else asleep?"
y/n: "Mhm. Mom and Dad both go to bed before 10."
soobin: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
y/n: "Just thinking. Don't you hate how you start thinking about everything before you go to bed?"
soobin: "It really does suck. So... can I give you a distraction?"
y/n: "Is this your smooth way of asking for help on your homework?"
soobin: (laughs) "No. Look out your window."
y/n: "What? Why?"
soobin: "Just look."
y/n: (gasps) "Soobin." (whispers) "What are you doing out there?"
soobin: "Kai's mom wanted me to give you popcorn chicken."
y/n: "Come down from there. You're gonna break a leg."
soobin: (hops down)
y/n: (opens window)
soobin: "Here."
y/n: "Thank you."
(silence)
soobin: "You okay?"
y/n: "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
soobin: "I don't know. You just look like you've got a lot on your mind."
y/n: "It's okay. I can take care of myself."
soobin: "I know you can. But you know that I'm here too, right? If you need to unload, you can. I won't even give advice, if you want, you can just let it out."
y/n: (sighs) "I wouldn't even really know where to start."
soobin: "Wherever you want to."
y/n: "I worry about how I can grow here when my mom is... too much."
soobin: "What do you mean?"
y/n: "She doesn't want me to go out. Ever. Dad said she's worried but I don't know if it's that."
soobin: "What do you think it is?"
y/n: "I think she's ashamed of me. Of everything I've done. So she wants to contain me before I do something that makes it worse."
soobin: "Having a bad ex-boyfriend isn't your fault."
y/n: "But isn't it? I chose to date him. I should have seen what kind of person he really was. Goes to show what shitty taste I have in guys."
soobin: "That's not true."
y/n: "Maybe I should just hole myself up here. Maybe I should never date anyone ever again."
soobin: "Look... just because you dated someone who wasn't that great of a person, doesn't make you a bad person, too. You're more than who you date."
y/n: "How do you know that?"
soobin: "I just do. And you don't have to believe it now, so I'll believe it for you."
y/n: "God, you're gonna make me cry and tomorrow I'm gonna have puffy eyes at school."
soobin: "Don't cry. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--"
y/n: "No, no, it's nothing you said. I just... is it so wrong to want to be happy?"
soobin: "No. You deserve to be happy."
y/n: "Thanks."
soobin: "It's going to be okay. It really will."
y/n: (nods) "I'm glad you moved here, Soobin."
soobin: "Me too."
y/n: (sighs) "Do you think it's a weird thing to eat popcorn chicken past 10 p.m.?"
soobin: "Not at all." (clears throat) "Can I have one?"
y/n: "No."
soobin: (jaw drops)
y/n: (smiles) "You can have two."
soobin: "How about three?"
y/n: "Don't push it, it's still my chicken."
