jun was peacefully enjoying his phone when he gets an alert from his weather app.

"donghun, there will be a huge storm in less than 10 minutes. the higher ups don't want anyone on the roads since it will be dangerous." juns voice leaked with concern and fear that something bad actually might happen to donghun. they have been driving for seven minutes and in those seven minutes the weather changed drastically. the rain started pouring down, winds blowed and you could see leaves flying in the air at unsafe speed. it was a mess.

"don't worry you will be there in a bit more than 5 minutes." the older tries to comfort junhee as he takes another turn. with only one hand on the stirring wheel he controlled the car really well. as if he's been doing this his whole life.

"yes but then it will take you at least 20 minutes to get to your home. aren't your scared something might go out of control?"

"sweetie, i have been driving in a worse weather and it turned out just fine." he gave juns quick smile before focusing back on the road. with his free hand he found junhees and linked their fingers together. both of them smiled at the contact.

the ride was silent till donghun pulled up to the drive way of juns house and it was time for him to go back. but before jun exited the car he hesitantly turned around to face donghun.

"huyng, i don't want you driving home in this weather." the eyes that once hid everything were now filled with concern.

thump thump.

donghuns cheeks were a shade of pink as he shifted in his seat nervously.

"so you want me to stay in my car the whole time till the storm ends?"

juns eyes averted away from the older. he couldn't believe in what he was about to say.

"y-you can come and wait in my place if you want to."

donghun have never smiled so much in his life. did he hear it right? was this a joke? he sure hoped it wasn't.

junhee didn't miss the hesitation in donghuns sad eyes. "you can stay in this beautiful car for as long as you wish but i would rather get out of here. suit yourself." and before jun could even open the door hun was already on his way running through the thick rain to to open it for jun. "awe what a gentleman." jun joked.

"only for you." and with that the boys quickly sprinted to the door of juns apartment. the rain was so cold and thick, they could barely see through is as they ran. the cold ass wind didn't help either. both of them sighed in relief when they were finally inside, warm and safe.

and really really wet.

"gosh i am soaking wet! no wonder they told everyone to not go out riding." donghun said and looked at junhee who was just as wet as him.

"yea i agree. c'mon i will give you some spare clothes to wear and you can also take a shower if you feel comfortable." jun motioned for the older to follow him to what seemed to be the youngers bedroom.

"it's ok no need to bothe-" but before he could even finish the sentence, a shirt was already thrown at his face.

"stop saying nonsense you will get sick if you don't change. i'm going to shower. stay in the living room and don't. touch. anything." he handed him a pair of sweats and went to the room across the bedroom which appeared to be the bathroom.

"yes mom!" donghun yelled and you could hear a faint laugh from jun. 

'his wapartment is very clean and neat. does he live by himself?' donghun asked himself as he started looking around the place to get familiar with it. he looked for any signs of life other then junhee but didn't look like there was any. this place made him feel uneasy. well, the living room did. he haven't taken a look at the other rooms yet.

but he noticed something very strange about the place. it lacked human contact and uniqueness to it.

no family pictures.

no plants that even him and byeongkwan have in their house.

there was nothing about this place that would give out the 'park junhee lives here' vibe.

or that is until he hears sound coming from the bedroom.

'donghun stop this isn't your house you can't just go around it.' but his thoughts contrasted his actions as he quickly made his way to the room.

he slowly opens the door, and sees the most beautiful and purest creature ever which he failed to notice the first time.

a white canary.

it was quietly sitting in its cage while the door was open. it didn't look scared or like it was forced to be stuck in there. on the bottom of the cage there was a little rectangular-like board and there were words written on it.

'for junhee,
as a reminder
that you can't fly
if your wings are closed.

-the parks family.'

and before donghun could even question the meaning of those words and what they had to do with junhee, the younger appeared.

"donghun, what the hell are you doing in here?"

"nothin, just looking around. you have a nice room. didn't know you had a canary." he said. "fits you well."

jun slowly nods. "it was a present from family. you should go shower. i'm going to make something to eat, any preferences?"

"yes, you."

jun rolls his eyes but his cheeks turn pink. "whatever. go wash. you stink so much, my neighbors can probably smell you."

donghun puts his hand over his chest and makes a pained expression. but he does follow juns instructions and goes to the bathroom to take the shower.
