2.

A month. 

That's how long it took for them to find normal ground Kyungsoo recons. For the awkward silences to end. The petty excuses. 

Jongin comes over to his house again. Kyungsoo mum gives him a tight lipped smile as she bites down to urge to show confusion as she lets him into the door the first time he comes round. 

Kyungsoo comes over to his too now. Pushed past the fear of going into the bedroom. Though he does quite have to will to sit on the bed yet. 

They can laugh without that uncomfortable strain. Kyungsoo feels happy for that at least. 

He blocks the many nights of longing and Kyungsoo biting his hand hard has he comes trying desperately not to say his name into the dark. 

He can get used to this. He has to.
