It was Saturday morning , the resting day for the students after long week of homework,
Test, or projects they even including teachers had some down time without worrying
About tomorrow and taejun took full advantage of that. Their college dorm, was fill
With snorers both coming from each sides

Both roommates were in deep sleep, they spent prior hours working on homework
and speeding each other up on their life it was pleasant unlike last night were they work until one
Then fell into a peaceful slumber. Jonghong quickly turns, as he move his alarm interrupted the calm atmosphere

Taejun jerked in his sleep, he raised up looking into the slight darkness of the room
He blink a few times trying to rid the pain away and also the crust he was finally up
While his friends was still in sleep mode. He look around in the dark, with the help of the little light coming from the window taejun tried eyes darted around the room looking for the source of that horrid sound

It wasn't that long until he did, taejun squinted his eyes he focus all of his attention on the said object he got up and walk over to Jonghong bedside table he reach down grabbing the clock taejun fingers trace the clock he search until he found the cord yanking it out the wall. He drop the clock, and walk back to his bed he climbed back in laying down without trying to go asleep

He laid still in the bed, staring at the ceiling his mind tend to wonder to different places usually family, homework, or life but it decided to go back a few hours ago to the coffee shop. The act he put on is a reflex, a skill that seem natural to others when they look at him but it can't stop the pain from reforming in his chest when he tells his story their a limited way people reacts

The good ol pity, this is high on his list of things to annoy him when telling his story you could tell when people pity you it's mostly in the eyes oh how they change quickly. The next "angry", people who gets mad or overly passionate about your situation he avoided them like the plague why? Because they force him to remember the pain

He lightly shook his head, making those memories fade into the darkness of his mind there no point of reminiscing in the past you can only live in the now. Grabbing his phone, taejun began to drown himself into social media like Instagram he mindlessly like different people pictures leaving some comments on others. He was absorbed, Taejun reach his finger out to like this random girl picture when his ping

It was message, from one of his good friends: somi they way they meet was similar to how junghong and taejun meet. Their grandfathers work side by side with each other, they were both fairly young when befriending each other. When taejun grandfather, plan on moving to Japan for awhile somi grandfather made a pack with him to rekindle once he comes back
Many years later, when taejun was 7 he was forced to go with his grandfather to go somi birthday party there they were introduced it was awkward at first but the more they grew up they continued on years long friendships.

Taejun started at the message, he move his finger towards the bubble his finger screamed silently as he lightly touch the box. "Kermit! Meet me at the park later on I want you to meet someone😁😁"

"Hmm she meet someone", the thought sat for a while it simmer slowly until it dawn on him

A smile crept on his face, it wasn't his every day smile it was genuine one. Weird right?, smiling because creepily into the night but this day he would let it pass his close long time friend meet someone taejun have a good feeling about this

He hop outta the day, today he felt like putting effort into himself today taejun grab a pair of fresh clean clothes and jog towards the shower. The steam from the shower, awoken him from his sleep he clean his body from head to toe he always enjoyed being in the shower the thought always make him clean. Stepping out he walk, to the mirror wiping it clean

The mirror always tell the truth, most time it would be unbearable to look at himself he can thank that to the past but instead off shuddering taejun look himself up and down taking mental notes of his body. Quickly he grab his towel, and began to dry down making sure not to miss a spot

He pulled his shirt over his head, and buttoned up his pants taejun was impressed by his look today: it's brighter and more put together. Taejun had a pink buttoned up, that was under a light brown cardigan, dark blue jeans cuffed at the bottom, and trench coat

When he step outta the bathroom, some of the steam and heat escapes with him he glances at his partner he wasn't asleep anymore under those big baby blue sheets, junghong eyes pop out

"Before you ask, i will tell you once I come home", the sentence came out more rushed than taejun would like

But junghong nodded his head, and turned facing the wall a sigh escape his lips unexpectedly he loved how simple his roommate was it didn't matter the situation junghong can easily go with the flow. Taejun step out the room, as soon he close the door he could hear the lock he let go of the handle and continue down the hallway

The day look bright, he had a bright smile in his face happiness filled his body from head to toe nothing could get him down

"COME ON TAEJUN, RUN FASTER", the male screams over his shoulder

They both quicken their pace, but they both had fear in their hearts that soon or later the man running towards them is going to reach them

Now running with a boy name yugyeom, from a track star name jungkook wasn't something he planned no of course not but In his life it isn't a choice what he want. He didn't start out like this, it all started when he walk out the house

He walk through the campus like a breeze, since little students were out most of them were out or in their dorm the college was silent he could drop a pin and hear it clear as day. Taejun had a pep in his step, he even involuntarily start to whistle a little he continued on until he turned a corner he usually go this way to exit the school

Suddenly he was meet with the ground, and a grunt he raise himself up getting a better look at the person off the bat he knew it was his classmate yugyeom. Unfortunately he wasn't able to ask why he was running, they run until they were out the campus and in the city

Taejun was running outta breath, his legs still move but he can fill himself slowing down a bit he can run for so long till tiredness kick in. He breath becomes shallow, there he transitions from full out running to jogging luckily he isn't the only one yugyeom seem more worn out and jungkook..well you can say he had a great run

They meet at a small alleyway, it was clear so it would be easier for them to have a discussion. Taejun hunch his back, and rest his hand on his knees trying to catch his breath
"Hmmm if you didn't steel, from me I would ask you both to try out for the track", jungkook was able to crack somewhat of a smile

"What!?", he spat out snapping his head towards yugyeom who look away

Jungkook eyebrows furrowed, confusion was adamant eyes from two different directions made its way towards yugyeom. He look back at them, with widened eyes he starts to rub him his neck and a force laugh escape his lips

"Well.. you see here-", he fled from the sight leaving them both even more confused beforehand

They both look at each, for a could second before anyone could speak taejun was about to speak when he felt his phone vibrated. He quickly glance, mumbling the message under his breath taejun place his phone back into his pocket when he look up jungkook was gone and he was left behind

He continued with his marry way, going to a particular spot on the side of town it was nice shop that somi and him visited frequently when they were younger. Some of his best memories, was formed there especially when they were in high school he could remember walking from school to here and staying hours on end even when the restaurant was closed

Somi was one of those, rare people in his life that he wish the best for he grew up with her from the age of seven as weird it would be saying out aloud It something he Keep deep inside him. Taejun look up, looking at the city it was a sight to see sure it would be considered mundane to just anybody but this place had a special place in his heart

After looking at his phone, Taejun started to jog a bit luckily for him the restaurant wasn't that long he only had to walk one more block to get there. He was getting closer, and closer to the establishment he fix himself making sure he look presentable

The door ring, as he opened the door he was greeted with the strong smells and laughter he took a big breath in and released he was at home. Taejun began to take his jacket off, to be only stop by the fact his jacket was gone he was about to start panicking when the scene from before started to show up once more

"Yugyeom", he gritted his teeth

But he lightly slap his cheek, helping him come back to reality he place a smile on his face removing the frown that was once there. He began to walk towards the back, there he could see a familiar face and a random stranger wrapping his arms around her waist. Taejun walk, and stood right behind his seat he could see her head raising up until their eyes meet

They both smile at each other, she hop outta her chair and into Taejun arms they both squeeze the hell outta each other enjoying being in each other brace it was nice. Taejun took a light sniff, she always smelled good he could name the brand she was using off the top of his head

" long time no see my friend", she mumbled into his shoulder

"I miss you too somi", he whisper into his ear

They hold each other, for a second before letting go the mystery man look at them with a goofy smile that meet his eyes. Everybody at the table, calm down not wanting to cause anymore attention to them. Somi cleared , before speaking she put on another smile "Taejun I would like you to meet Xiumin",

He reach across the table, shaking his hand taking note of his firm grip the handshake lasted for a second before they let go and sat back down. Somi seem happier than ever, they continue on getting to know more and more about each other

To his surprise, he end up really like xiumim he had a happy aura around he was at ease around him it's more comfortable then he expected. The lunch was going great, theory were all laughing when xiumin got up Taejun look at him with questionable eyes

He towards the front, stopping in front of a boy they both laugh and hugged each other xiumin lead him towards the table Taejun being noisy tried to get a good look but he couldn't. They both stop at the table, he look at their legs and then towards their faces

Taejun stomach drop, and the blood clears from his face his voice was stuck in his throat he wanted to scream but he couldn't. Somi stood up, and gave the boy a hug and signal for him to sit down.. right beside Taejun
