Hakyeon can't really remember how he got home or how he had gotten into his bed, although judging by the fact that he's still in the clothes he wore last night, he guessed he was too tired last night to change and went to slept straight away

He glances blearily around his room, eyes falling on the table beside his bed, where two small pills and a bottle of water are placed 

Pulling himself into a sitting position as he reaches for the water guzzling it down with the pills, he finishes the rest of the contents with a satisfied sigh, laying back down he snuggles into his pillow, only to crease his eyebrows in confusion when his hand brushes up against something and he lifts his pillow to find a folded piece of paper

"Don't be alarmed, I brought you home. Jaehwan is also in his bed, take the pills they'll help with your head. Apparently you have quite a low alcohol tolerance"
                                     -Taekwoon

He smiles to himself, making a mental note to thank him next time he sees him. He takes a look at his alarm clock and flops back onto his bed, making what could only be described as whale noises when he realises it's only 7:00 and on a Saturday 

He decides to go back to sleep and doesn't try to fight it when his eyelids start becoming heavy 

-=-=-=-=-

It's 9:00 when Hakyeon is rudely awoken by none other than Jaehwan, jumping on him oh so gracefully

"I'm going to give you three seconds to get out of my room, before I hurt you" he threatens, with one eye slightly open he glares harshly at the brunette tugging at his hair

"You're mean" Jaehwan whines childishly as he scampers back from Hakyeon's reach 

"Well get out then" he mutters, rolling over in bed to face the wall 

"Come on it's Saturday-"

"Exactly why you should let me sleep" 

"-no work today so let's go out and see the world" he pulls open the curtains, gesturing wildly at the bright sunny day 

"Or you could let me sleep and tell me what it's like when you get back" he replies, hissing at the sudden brightness 

"Nope, not how it works. Up and get ready, I'll make breakfast" Jaehwan pulls his duvet away, leaving the room before he has time to dish out a sassy comeback 

"Sometimes I'd like to take you on a nice long walk, then lose you somewhere" he mutters while stretching

"I can hear you!" He hears Jaehwan call from the kitchen 

He chuckles silently to himself whilst picking out today's outfit, 

Once ready he runs a hand through his hair, tousling it around for a bit before deciding to slip on a beanie. Taking one last look at himself he fixes his collar before slipping on his shoes 

Upon entering the kitchen the smell of sizzling bacon has him drooling and his stomach growls in anticipation 

"Hungry?" Jaehwan snorts 

"The stomach never lies" he shrugs taking a seat at the dining table 

"It also never shuts up"

"I'm a growing boy, I need a lot of food" he sniffs snobbishly, turning his nose up at him 

"So what do you want to do today?" Jaehwan enquires, ignoring his best friends sass "No, going back to bed is not an option" he adds, noticing the shine in Hakyeon's eyes

"Ugh you always have to rain on my parade" Hakyeon mutters, munching into his eggs as if they were the last on the planet "we could go shopping, I need hair dye" he twists his fading scarlet strands in between his thumb and index finger 

"Your hair is going to fall out with the amount of that gunk you put in it" Jaehwan shakes his head, casting him a disapproving look 

"Well I'm sorry, I'll be sure to tone it down a notch" he smiles bitterly, taking both their empty plates to the sink to wash 

"You be a sarcastic little all you want but don't come crying to me when you wake up one morning to find all your hair gone" 

"I won't, I'll just shave yours off and make myself feel better knowing that I'll still look more handsome than you" he grins widely 

"You're a terrible friend" Jaehwan tuts, glaring at him. The smile tugging at the corners of his lips though proves that he definitely doesn't mean it 

"I'm the best you'll ever have" he laughs, rushing to brush his teeth

-=-=-=-=-

As they leave his house, Hakyeon concludes that it's too warm for any sort of jacket instead he takes it off and ties it around his waist, leaving him in a slightly larger v-neck than actually needed, he doesn't mind though as he prefers wearing baggy clothes 

"Why did you put it on if you're not going to wear it?" Jaehwan ponders, a single eyebrow raised in question 

"I didn't realise it was this warm" 

"I feel you, this jumper is suffocating me" Jaehwan tugs at his collar, fanning his face with the other hand as they walk

"So have you heard anything from Wonshik since last night?" Hakyeon wonders 

Jaehwan's grins his usual creepy grin "yeah we talked this morning" he smiles and he has a hard time not slapping the love struck look off his face

"Well that's good" he grins back

"What about you, you have fun with Mr tall, dark and mysterious?" Jaehwan wiggles his eyebrows at him 

"Go away, you creep" he laughs, pushing his face away "and yeah I mean he's pretty cool, a little 'mysterious' as you say but there's nothing wrong with him I guess" he shrugs his shoulders 

Jaehwan gives him a certain look before dropping the subject, there's no use pushing Hakyeon, he's like a brick when it comes to interrogation 

"Anyway, to town!" Jaehwan cheers, stomping ahead 

"Jaehwan" he shouts, stopping in his tracks 

"What?" He looks back, confused by his sudden stop

"The bus stop is right here" he points to the shelter above him, giving him sweet shade from the blistering hot sun 

"I knew that" Jaehwan smiles, suddenly standing beside him 

"Sure" he mumbles unconvinced

-=-=-=-=-=
 
As they stroll around town. Jaehwan stops at a store window where different anime books and plushies are lined up, decorated with colourful words and unbelievable price tags

Jaehwan doesn't seem surprised by the prices as he turns his gaze to him, eyes shining with hope

"Go on then, I need to get some shopping done anyway, just call me when you're done" he waves his hand, already heading in another direction 

He spends the next hour buying food to restock his fridge and after checking off his mental check list he's left with one thing, which also happens to be the main thing he came for: hair-dye

He enters the nearest body care shop and heads straight for the hair-dye section, easily spotting the usual  bright red he gets. He stops for a second, hand hovering over the box as his eyes land on another box, not bright like he's used to but maybe it's time for him to change it up a little 

He snatches it without another thought and quickly pays for it, thanking the woman working at the till with a smile before leaving 

He feels his phone vibrate in his pocket as walks down the street and reaches in to pull it out, quickly holding it up to his ear 

"I'm done" Jaehwan cheers, seemingly satisfied with himself

"How much did you spend this time?" He questions, deciding there's no use beating around the bush

"...Let's just say a lot and leave it at that" Jaehwan laughs nervously 

"Hmm just this once, meet me back at the bus stop in 10 minutes then" he shakes his head shoving his phone back in his pocket, he'll ever understand his best friends obsession with anime 

When they met up again the first thing he notices is the mountain of plushies, with three bags in total he thinks Jaehwan really wasn't kidding when he had said a lot but doesn't question it, he's far too used to it to question his weirdness now 

The wait for the bus is short and they silently thank the high heaven when it finally arrives offering more shade from the still scorching sun, in just half an hour they're both back in front of Hakyeon's house, rushing in to escape the heat 

"It's 12:45, we should get something to eat now" he calls out to Jaehwan as he unpacks his bags 

When he doesn't receive a reply he makes his way to the living room to find Jaewhan sound asleep on his couch, clutching one of his many new plushies 

He smiles at the sight, carefully taking his shoes off so he will be his comfiest while he sleeps 

"You're like a kid, tiring yourself out like that" he brushes a stray strand of hair from his eyes, causing him to stir 

He holds his breath, worrying that he'd woken him up but soon sighs in relief when he curls up, snoring lightly 

His stomach rumbles in protest at the lack of food and even though he had just went shopping, he decides to order food being too lazy to cook anything
