’’So basically if fish had feelings? Which they do, do you think they have crushes on other fishes?’’ Changkyun was musing. It’s like 3 AM and he is reaching that level of tiredness where you start to speak garbage that you think is deep, but when you think back on it later you are like what the hell?
‘’I don’t know, I think so?’’ Hyunwoo contributed to Changkyun’s crisis about fish crushes.
‘’Oh shit you are awake?’’ Changkyun was lowkey startled.
‘’I’ve been awake ever since you started discussing whether people and fruit share the same DNA or something.’’ Hyunwoo laughed a little.
‘’Hey stop laughing, it’s a serious scientific question.’’ Changkyun tried to say but it got lost in the yawning.
Changkyun was rustling around with the blankets, trying to find a comfortable position, but it seemed to be an impossible task for him. He was just so damn restless.
‘’Hyung?’’ Changkyun whispered.
‘’Hm?
‘’You ever wondered if we would have met if I hadn’t run into you in the park and smeared ice cream over your shirt.
‘’It was my favourite shirt.’’ Hyunwoo added.
‘’And then my mother apologized for about ten minutes to your mother and you were just staring off into the space, not a care in the world.’’
‘’You had a blue butterfly that had landed on the top of your head, I was amazed.’’ Hyunwoo reminisced.
‘’I’m glad I ruined your shirt that day.’’
‘’Yeah, me too.’’ Hyunwoo said, and smiled looking at the ceiling.
‘’Please don’t forget about me when you start university.’’ Changkyun said more to himself rather than to Hyunwoo.
‘’I would never. You’re my best friend Kyun.’’
Changkyun said nothing, he just kept staring at the ceiling like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
‘’I can hear you thinking all the way from the other side of the room Kyun.’’
‘’I will visit home every weekend. It will be like I was never gone.’’
‘’I wish I was the same age as you and I’d be going to the same university with you.’’ Changkyun was sulking. Hyunwoo could tell that from his voice.
Changkyun got up and walked up to Hyunwoo’s bed and laid down next to him. ‘’Don’t let anyone else bite your arms, I have already claimed them since I was 6 years old.
‘’Don’t worry, I think I have plenty of scars from the bites already as proof that these hands are only for holding my best friend.’’ Hyunwoo smiled gently and pulled Changkyun into a hug. ‘’Now go to sleep.’’ Changkyun snuggled closer to the other and finally felt peace enter into his brain.
They will be fine. Better than fine, they will be great.
