"jihoon, how about we go out today? we can go to your apartment and get some clothes," wonwoo asked as he sat in a chair adjacent to jihoon's bed. it had been a week since jihoon turned down seungkwan's request to go outside and be bad started going stir crazy.

"is it safe?" jihoon asked and wonwoo nodded. wonwoo truly had no way of telling if it was safe but jihoon needed to leave the building even if it's for a little bit.

"i guess so." jihoon answered and wonwoo smiled.

"okay, let me see if i can find you some clothes that might fit." wonwoo said and he got up from his chair and left the room.

jihoon sat there fiddling with his hands. he really didn't want to go out, he was terrified. jihoon knew he shouldn't live his life in fear but he couldn't help it, any time he closed his eyes he saw seungcheol. wonwoo came back fairly quickly with an outfit and handed it to jihoon. wonwoo stepped out and waited for jihoon to change.

jihoon stepped out of the room after changing and saw wonwoo waiting next to the door. jihoon was uncomfortable with the short sleeve shirt and ripped jeans that showed his tattoos, he didn't want to bring any attention to himself.

"d-do you have a jacket i can wear? i don't want my t-tattoos showing.." jihoon asked and wonwoo nodded and walked off into a room and came back with a long jacket. jihoon slipped it on and immediately felt better.

"ready?" wonwoo asked and jihoon nodded.

as jihoon and wonwoo sat in the car as wonwoo drove and jihoon looked at the surrounding area. wonwoo was clueless as to where jihoon lived and jihoon was horrible with directions which made them both even more thankful for the gps. as the robotic voice gave directions that wonwoo followed jihoon just watched the familiar scenery. jihoon even saw the cafe where he had met the nosy owner and he thought for a second as to how he was doing but brushed it off quickly.

"we're here," wonwoo said once they parked and jihoon had been so zoned out he didn't even notice.

jihoon got out of the car and lead wonwoo to his apartment. he beeped in his code and opened the door to find the place a mess, he hadn't left it like this. jihoon walked in confused and scared while wonwoo felt himself begin to get angry once again.

"just get some clothes and let's get out of here.. something is giving me the spooks," wonwoo said and jihoon nodded as he walked to the closet.

jihoon grabbed a variety of clothes and shoved them into a duffle bag as wonwoo walked around the apartment. he walked cautiously as he knew something wasn't right and froze when he found a letter on the kitchen counter that had jihoon's name on it. wonwoo didn't say a word about it and slipped it into his coat pocket.

"let's go," jihoon said as he walked to wonwoo with the duffle bag on his shoulder. wonwoo nodded as he followed jihoon out of the apartment.

"where's a good coffee place around here? mingyu sucks at making coffee and i've been craving a good one," wonwoo asked once both him and jihoon got into the car.

"i know a place," jihoon said as he typed it into the gps, wonwoo was surprised to see it was only a block away.

they parked on the side of the street and walked in together. jihoon looked around and didn't spot the nosy owner and frowned, a part of him wanted to see the kid.

"i'll go sit somewhere, get me something good and a slice of cake!" wonwoo said and jihoon nodded.

wonwoo walked to a table and sat down as jihoon walked to the counter. jihoon glanced at the menu and decided to get a green tea latte and a normal latte for wonwoo, their americano sucked.

"hello! what can i get for you?" a server with a kind smile asked.

"one green tea latte, one coffee latte, and then a slice of whatever is your favorite cake." jihoon ordered and the worker nodded as he placed the order. jihoon held onto his card and the worker completed the transaction.

"okay, you may have a seat and we'll bring it out to you!" the worker chimed and jihoon nodded.

jihoon turned on his heel and began walking towards wonwoo not paying attention as he slipped his car back into his wallet when he suddenly bumped into someone. jihoon looked up ready to hit someone but felt sort of happy when he saw it was the cafe owner.

"YOU'RE NOT DEAD!"

"what's with you and yelling every time you see me?"
