[ "let me go to my safe place!...please..." ]

by the end of the night, the new couple had become quite close to most of those in their block. the two retired quietly to their own apartment and sank into their bed, happy with the day's outcome.

a while ago...

wonwoo and mingyu were the first to leave. while mingyu had been laughing up a storm with his fellow '97 liner and almost-brother, wonwoo snuck behind him and tugged furiously at his shirt sleeve. that was the sign that wonwoo wanted out. now. mingyu broke away kindly from the conversation and the two left, mingyu doing the honours of exchanging fast good-byes as they exited the conference room.

as the pair left the scene behind them, wonwoo felt he could finally breathe. he kept his hands hugged around himself and stayed quiet as they walked back to their apartment in a sort of silence- every once in a while, mingyu would hum a certain part of a song that was stuck in his head.

once wonwoo reached the safety of his own space and his own home(shared by mingyu, but he didn't mind), he let out a deep sigh and sank into the left side of the couch. mingyu plopped a little closer to wonwoo. "you did good today! you managed to get out and go to a mini social event, won. you're doing amazing, i believe in you." mingyu reassured, finally leaving to the showers with a tight hug to wonwoo. what he didn't see was the small smile that tugged at wonwoo's lips as he sank further into the depths of the couch, drowning in his own jacket.

now...

the air conditioning whirred softly in seokmin and joshua's room, the pair having yet to fall asleep. joshua's mind kept running, unable to stop thinking about seungcheol's words.

it's a work day tomorrow

"minnie...it's a work day tomorrow." he said, echoing his thoughts. seokmin blinked his eyes open, turning to face joshua. "yeah, thats how mondays work, unfortunately." he noticed the blank stare on joshua's face as he stared on at the ceiling. "shua...? snap out of it." seokmin's snap pulled joshua out of his own mind. "i'm...sorry. i was thinking over Hug again. it stresses me out so much. i really don't know if it's worth it." seokmin breathed out a sigh, carefully thinking how he wanted to phrase his next statement.

"you know, mingyu told me something just now," he said after a long pause. "he told me that he really, truly enjoys the things we do and that...well...wonwoo, y'know the one with him, feels a sense of safety having our treats. maybe get mingyu to explain to you one day; the way he said it made me feel somethin'." seokmin said. joshua hummed. "i don't know. i get anxious about it all the time. you know how i get over this. it's my passion and dream but...it's always seemed like the odds are against me. i'm starting to wonder if this even is right for me." seokmin cuddled up to joshua and smiled in the dark, even if joshua couldn't see it. instinctively, joshua's hand made its way to seokmin's dark mop of hair. "don't stress yourself over this, hyung. we're gonna work through this together. after all, i am your business partner and boyfriend." seokmin said. joshua sighed a laugh out. "alright, alright. i'm gonna try."
