monday, the day of the week hongjoong hated the most. he barely did anything all weekend, and even ignored his texts. but now, he had to go to school and deal with seeing seonghwa.

he groaned, still very tired as he reached for his phone. he woke up a little late, so he only had about 15 minutes to get ready for the day. but before he did, he decided it wouldn't hurt to check his messages.

15 new messages from Yunho
54 new messages from Yeosang
3 new messages from Unknown

"what the fuck.. why did they message me so much?" he asked, laughing quietly afterwards. he then scanned over the name "unknown." someone he may not know had messaged him, and to be honest he was scared to open it.

Unknown:
hey hongjoong
it's seonghwa
san gave me your number :)

"no no no! san why did you do that?" he whined, burying his face in a pillow. he didn't want to leave seonghwa on read, so he had to think of something to say. he took a deep breath, before he started typing.

Hongjoong:
uh..
why would san give you my number?

Seonghwa:
he didn't just give it to me randomly
i asked for it
also i sent that message like two days ago..
you just now got it?

Hongjoong:
i had my phone powered off
anyways, i'll talk to you later
i have to get ready

Seonghwa:
you're a dry texter :(
seen

hongjoong scoffed, "talk to you later? i don't ever want to talk to you again.." he frowned, before getting out of bed to get ready. he was downstairs and outside by the time he usually was, but there was something outside that he wasn't expecting.

"you're alive!!"

"joongie!!"

his two best friends, yeosang and yunho, were waiting for him and had almost immediately given him a hug. "good morning to you too?"

they both pulled away, eyeing hongjoong up and down as if to check if he was okay. "we thought something might've happened to you." yeosang explained, before smiling softly. "but we're glad you're okay." hongjoong forced a smile towards them, even though deep down he hated that they cared that much. he didn't want to be worried about, and he didn't want someone to be thinking that something bad happened to him, he didn't want anyone to know.

the three best friends started walking to school together, even though they haven't done so in a while. it was nice for it to just be the three of them for once, like they used to.
