Welcome to Teddytopia (JunChanFF/Eng)

Chapter 7

After ending the call this suddenly - and immediately feeling guilty because of it - he tried to call Jun several times. However, the older had seemingly switched off his phone and Chan decided to follow his plan and just try to talk to him face to face.

He had not really expected that Jun would indeed even let him inside the building, but he did and so, he found himself standing in front of his apartment door, as nervous as back on the day he had applied for the job in the older's shop. But today the reason for his nervousness was a completely different one. Tensely he tried to think about what he should say to Jun or how he could comfort him the best, but nothing came to his mind.

However, Jun did not look as sad and upset as Chan had expected him to. He did look tired but still composed and not like someone who's girlfriend had just broken up with them.

"Chan?"

He still seemed surprised to see him, even though he already should have done that on the intercom earlier. Had he not even checked, before letting him in? The younger nervously shifted from one foot to the other, while playing with his jacket, waiting for Jun to say something or to tell him to leave. But he didn't and only stared instead.

"Uhhh...can I come in for a moment?" Chan asked after a while, not able to endure the silence any longer.

"Sure..."

Jun opened his door a little wider and stepped aside so that he could enter. Like his own one, the apartment wasn't really big, not like the one of Sehyoon for example, but it seemed to be enough and virtually screamed that it was owned by the older. It was clean but once in a while some toys were lying around and some quiet, relaxing music was playing in the background, giving everything a comfortable touch. Jun showed him, where to put his shoes and led him through a small corridor and into his living room which seemingly was also one with the kitchen and dining room.

"Sorry, if I had known that you would come over, I would have cleaned a bit." He apologized and quickly kicked some stuff out of the way and arranged the pillows new, before he turned back to Chan.

"Just make yourself feel at home." He said and pointed to a yellow sofa in front of the small TV, before flopping down on it himself.

"Uhh...okay."

Chan sat down next to him but as far away as possible which probably made him look extremely tense. Of course, the older noticed immediately and frowned.

"Do I have a deadly disease?" He wanted to know with raised eyebrows.

"Huh?"

"Why are you sitting on the furthest edge? Just relax, I'm not gonna bite you..." He laughed but it sounded tired and unamused. The younger didn't join in and looked at him in concern instead.

"Is everything all right?" He asked. The answer consisted of a shrug.

"Sure. What else should be?"

"So...you don't hate me?" Jun's eyes widened in surprise and confusion.

"No! Why should I hate..." But then realization bloomed on his face. "You know it all, right?" He stated in a dry tone. "Did Sehyoon tell you? You really can't trust anyone these days..."

Nervous, Chan bit on his lower lip, feeling sorry for putting Sehyoon in the disfavor of two people within only one day. But now it was too late anyway.

"He did but...I also saw you with...her...yesterday." He admitted.

At this Jun replied nothing and after some moments Chan couldn't bear the silence and questions ins his head any longer.
