"how does your scalp even handle all of that?" soobin asked yeonjun, who just pulled out a big chunk of his blue hair. "i have no idea. i just pray that this modelling gig ends soon."
"agreed." beomgyu said, slurping on his instant noodles. the hands on the clock in hueningkai's room landed on 2. he dug his face deeper into his hoodie, his eyes shut closed. they noticed this and thought it was best to speak quietly, assuming he must've fallen asleep.
the sound of a new message alerted him, making him look at his computer screen once again. hueningkai had completely forgotten he gave away his skype code to jeno.

"guys, someones calling me, i'll be back." hueningkai says upon the new tab ringing of an incoming call. he left the previous and joined this one.
the screen showed jeno first, probably in his bed, in a plain white shirt with glasses hueningkai had never seen. he realized someone else was also in the call, assuming it was jisung, with his camera off.
"none of you can leave this call until you've both listened to everything you have to say, that's my only rule. i'm going to leave my laptop and leave the room so i won't listen to you guys."
jeno lifted his laptop from his lap, placed it on his bed, and left the room, and they knew because the door made an awkward creaking sound.
"so um.." jisung finally turnt his camera on, revealing his pitch black bedroom, but he could tell it was rather messy, and his figure was only illuminated by the light from his screen. just like hueningkai. "i'm sorry for punching your nose, is it still bleeding?"
"mmhm."
"i actually tried contacting soobin for your address but he said you were grounded. sorry for that too. uhmm.." he stammered over his own words. hueningkai wannted to carry on the conversation, so he spoke first.
"you drank the fruit punch too right?"
"oh my god you too?"
"explains both of us." hueningkai leaned back on his chair once the puzzle pieces all clicked, but he wanted to intervene more. "i'm sorry i made you mad. i was having a lot of thoughts, and that drink just took me further. i still haven't had the guts to face her just yet.. i don't know what to say. i must've had made her so uncomfortable."
"yeah you did. that's why i got mad and punched you. now i'm starting to think i should've done that." he laughed looking at the floor. "you've talked to her?"
"yeah i brought her to talk. honestly i expected her to scold me, but she told me that we could only be friends."
hueningkai's eyes doubled in size. jisung laughed at his sudden change, but it sounded covered up just to hide his actual regret.
"i really like her, but sometimes i just think there's someone else out there for her. she never has that full smile with me, or that laugh that breaks her ribs. if someone makes her happier than i do, that's fine by me." he continued on, placing his chin on his palm.
"your implying she likes me?"
"i don't know too. i just thought you wanted to know," he shrugged. "i'm in a dead end too. i can't make a move, but you can by talking face to face. just man up."
hueningkai nodded along, with no other response. he couldn't just be quiet while he listened to someone who just punched him talk over and over. "so.. we good now?" jisung laughed, coughing into his clenched fist.
"hmm" hueningkai crossed his arms, "not exactly. i mean you could've punched me without the alcohol, but let's just let that slide."
"oh okay."
"should i leave the call? i think your friend jaemin wants to hear from you." hueningkai noticed the ongoing spams of hearts and concern from jaemin. "oh yeah, suresure it's fine. bye."
the next day
yuna inched further on her toes, taking the old bunch of books off her also old shelf. she found alot of things that took her back, and she decided she wanted to keep it all
in a box for further purposes.
she looked under her bed, finding a framed photo. she took the wet wipes out, sat on her bed and wiped the dust off, revealing a young hueningkai.
she was latching onto him like gum, but he just stood there idly, and it made her crack up, not gonna lie. she didn't feel time passing by as she stared at the framed photo over and over again.
only when she realized the clock was ticking was when the sound of a knock interrupted her loneliness, and she allowed her dad to enter the room
"whatcha lookin at?"
he sat next to yuna on her bed, eyeing the framed item she held. "nothing important." he nodded, an 'ooh' sound coming out of hus mouth. "did you forget about your little project outside?"
"honestly, i completely forgot about that with all of the school stress." she laughed.
"well get back to it! it's not going to get completed by itself, isn't it?" he went on, "and you should get some sunlight," he grabbed her hand, identifying the paleness it now had, "you're as white as a vampire!"
"haha, i guess you're right." she chuckled. "go, go on!" he shooed her off her own bed like a cat. "now?!"
"why not? you're not going to cry over a picture right? oh even better, let's continue it together." he stood up. "you have a point.." she mumbled, looking down at her pajamas, "i'll get ready first. i'll meet you outside, dad."
"it's a plan!" he left her rook shortly after. and yuna got excited for once.
[sorry it's a short chap,, the fic is ending soon! and my bday is today hehe i'm really tired 😙]
