Hope you like it!

"It was fun hanging out with the others," Parker smiled. It was already the next day and they said their goodbyes to Parker's friends. Parker and Jumin were waiting on the platform, talking about the two days that they were from home.

"It was an experience for me," Jumin spoke up. "Even if I didn't want an experience like that again." He smiled. "I'm happy that you asked me to come with you."

Parker blinked at him and grinned. "Of course! I knew that Min would like it and I tried my best for you to enjoy yourself too." His expression turned worried. "Are you feeling better?" He asked, referring to yesterday night.

"A little," Jumin replied, his smile faltering. "June told me that she made an appointment for me."

"To go... to the doctor?" Parker asked.

"Not the doctor, but therapy." Jumin flicked his forehead. "For what reason should I go to the doctor? Aren't you supposed to be smart?"

"Maybe you have an upset stomach, I don't know..." Parker hummed as he thought about it a little more. "That does sound stupid," he muttered. "Did she make it for today? Cause we'll arrive home between half-past five and six. Depends on how many detours we'll take."

"No, they close at five," Jumin responded as they saw the train stopping in front of them. "I have to go tomorrow after school."

"Oh," Parker whispered as they got on the train. They walked through the rows and sat down. "Are you staying over tonight?"

"I can't." Jumin's expression dropped when he saw Parker's disappointed eyes. "We have school tomorrow and we still have math homework."

"Okay and? What do you want me to say about that?" Parker sighed and turned to the window. "But I wanted you to stay."

Jumin slapped Parker's head. "Don't say shit like that in public," he whispered as Parker put his hand on his head. He turned to Jumin and saw that he was looking away from him with red ears. "It's embarrassing."

Parker stared at the seat in front of him. "That's a good sign, right? What else could I mean? It must be." Parker's eyebrows furrowed. "Or am I getting too ahead of myself?"

"Park," Jumin called. "I can stay till nine tonight, but I'll have to call June first to tell her."

"Hell yeah!" Parker cheered and Jumin tried not to make a ruckus on the train. "What shall we do? I can stream again, we can play something or we can vibe and watch a movie. You choose."

"I think I'll sleep for a few when we get at your house," he said, not saying that he couldn't sleep because of Parker clinging onto him the whole night.

"Alright. I'll start a stream while you're sleeping then." Parker glanced at his phone and saw that Miracle texted him. "Miracle?" He said out loud.

"Miracle? What did she do?"

"It's just that she's been a little quiet these past weeks after that movie incident. Even at school. Don't you remember? She said she had to go to the airport for some reason," he explained to Jumin.

"Maybe Scott had to go somewhere for work or her mom came to visit, I don't know," Jumin shrugged.

Parker grabbed his phone and opened her message, to see a picture of her together with Yukine in a cafe. Parker was at a loss of words and showed Jumin it. "Do you think it's real?"

"Don't ask me. Ask the person who sent you the picture." He nodded at Parker's phone. "Call her or something."

"Nah, I don't wanna," he replied as he turned his phone off. "Let's kill some time while we're waiting."
