[3 YEARS LATER]

"i swear to fucking god jisung if you don't wake the fuck up i'm ditching you and going to class on time." jisung was woken up to a pillow being thrown onto his head as he let out a soft groan.

jisung flailed his arms around as he shouted back, "just give me ten more minutes!" it was too early for him to function properly and he just wanted more sleep.

he was already getting comfortable and falling asleep only for the blankets to be pulled away from him along with changbin's loud voice yelling at him again, "we don't have ten minutes, jisung!"

whining jisung sat up, rubbing at his eyes to take away any trace of tiredness he had left. getting up he muttered a quiet, "fine fine fine, i'm getting up."

upon seeing jisung finally waking up, changbin, at last, left him alone and walked out of their shared room. chan stood by the kitchen, a cup of water in his hands as he asked, "did he wake up?"

letting out a sigh, changbin nodded his head, "yes, he did." chan rose a brow at the way changbin's shoulders seemed tensed up.

grabbing the younger by the waist, he pulled him closer towards his chest. a hand resting on his waist while the other went to tilt changbin's chin upwards. he softly smiled as he said, "hey, i love you."

the way his shoulders seemed to be rid of any stress sent relief through chan. a quiet response left changbin's lips, "and i love you too." right after chan leaned down to press a light peck onto to other's lips.

the moment was ruined when jisung's voice rang through their ears. "what about me? i want some love too." chan and changbin looked at him and shook their heads.

"finish getting ready then you'll get some love." jisung pouted as he continued to brush his teeth, a look of betrayal on his face as he walked back into the bathroom. "this is a cruel game. a very cruel game!"

and that was the last day that everything was okay.

the next day chan didn't come home nor the day after. it was a repetition of 'i have a project to finish' or 'things just came up.' and at some point, changbin had gotten so frustrated in all. so now as he laid in jisung's arms he vented all that he had cooped up inside of him.

"he spends a lot of time out in his studio now." changbin said as jisung pulled him closer. jisung hummed as he continued to run his fingers through the other's hair.

a sense of comfort running through changbin as he allowed himself to be vulnerable for these few moments he had jisung's attention. "i'm sure school has just gotten a bit hectic. he's graduating spring semester too so he's got a lot to wrap up over at the campus."

jisung's words should've calmed changbin down, should've given him a bit of relief because it was the truth yet why did it only make his stomach churn? "i understand that. he just feels a bit distant."

"i know, binnie. he'll be back with us once everything is done for him."

"i hope so." changbin whispered, his voice drifting off as he felt his eyelids grow heavy and before he knew it he had fallen asleep. jisung continued to run his fingers through the slightly olders hair, thoughts racing through his head as he wished for days to pass in order for changbin to not be so pained.

---

then it happened. the days changbin had oh so dreaded. jisung and chan always seemed to be busy. trading days off with changbin but it didn't feel the same. he felt as though he were some kid in between a divorce yet it wasn't so bitter as he occasionally would see them both texting each other.
