Some year in college...

The bespectacled blonde hastily clasps the cold collection of keys from the pocket of his jacket, while he attempts to silently enter the apartment he shares with his other half. It's within the dead of the night and he didn't want to disturb the peaceful slumbers of those who dozed off, especially Y/N. The moment he enters through the door, darkness greeted him. Reaching for the light switch, he bathes the whole place in light. He squints his eyes, his vision unaccustomed to darkness.

He sighs, lazily plopping himself on the couch. He instantly regrets, feeling that small noises such as this might wake you up. He didn't want to do that, he knew about your sleeping problems and you barely had rest. He knew your struggles but he didn't let that stop him from attempting to let you rest. He begged you thousands of time, heck, in desperation he even straddled you to your side of the bed. He can say the same thing for himself, he barely slept a wink last night from late night data dumping.

He never thought he'd be attending the library in the dead of the night, but there he was, burning every single braincells he had left to study for upcoming tests. Shin somehow knew college will be worse than high school and he hates that he's right. As he slowly dozed off the couch, the telephone rings for a moment. He took his glasses off, setting it aside as he warily glances over the telephone with narrowed eyes.

It was great in the middle of the night, who would call at this time? Shin didn't want to answer it, it was already late! For all he knows it was just teenagers with nothing better to do. He stayed at his place, just lying his back on the couch, too lazy to move to the bedroom to sleep with his beloved Y/N. Not that he doesn't want to, but he doubts that he'll be able to walk in the bedroom without causing a sound equivalent to world war two noises. The persistent ring of the telephone seems to get louder and louder every passing moment. He uses one of the cushions to cover his ears, lightly groaning as it persistently rang. He just hoped it won't wake you up.

The ringing stops (much to Shin's pleasure) and the recorder of the phone went off.

"This is Y/N—!" 

"—And this is Shin."

"— And we're currently unavailable. Please leave your message after be beep!"

Beep.

There was silence on the other line for a moment, until feminine vocals rang from the other line as she anxiously cleared her throat. "H-hey you guys... It's been awhile. Sorry I wasn't able to reach you guys sooner, I was busy with university and stuffs." She sounded different on the other line, perhaps it was the bad reception. But if you listen carefully, one can hear the sadness in her voice. "Not gonna lie, I high-key miss you guys."

Nemoto rose from the depths of the soft comforts of the couch after recognising the voice, his hair dishevelled from scratching his head in attempt to alert his systems. He squints at the telephone as there was another pause from the other line. Rubbing his face, he walks towards the telephone, dragging a chair behind him. He sets the chair by the table where the telephone was seated on.

"I hope you guys are doing fine, I can say the same thing for myself... Just struggling through mountains of homework like any university student does, but I'm doing great... I lied, I'm not okay. Everything's a mess and life teamed up with bad luck to fuck me over." There was a sob from the other line. "And here I thought I'd make new friends here but all they did was to drag me around in their sorority groups."
