Work Text:
Sun spilling in the window
Perfectly projected on his guitar and childhood plushie, basking in the golden daylight
Today is Thursday
It's not a special day but he's filled with ease
A delicious latte at his favorite cafe
Kai greets the barista with a bow
The extra caramel drizzle and a smiley face
Messy handwriting
“Have a great day”
He smiles and raises his cup as he leaves
He will miss this
A trip on the bus to see his friends
A bag filled with his favourite things
Trinkets, toys, accessories, and his favourite hoodie
Laughter erupts from Soobin's living room
Evening snacks and a cheesy romcom
Playing card games til dark
Leaving his four friends to carry on
A knock at his family's home
The comforting smell long forgotten
A fresh meal with his parents and sisters
His sisters talks about their dreams and Kai just listens with starry eyes
His mother tells him that he grew a lot, his dad packs a bag of leftovers to take to his lonely apartment
He laughs
It's only been months since he last saw them
He wishes he came around more
An empty apartment
The windows are locked and the plants are dying
Charcoal burning on the stove
All his messages sent
Dizziness and choking until he can't sit up anymore
Calls blowing up his phone
The world grows quiet
He doesn't live to see Friday
