"Click- Yeah Jungsoo?"

"Chul..."

"Mhm?"

"Chul..."

"Yes Jungsoo. Why are you calling? How are you?"

"I'm much better."

"You holding up okay?"

"Mhm." But not really.

-silence-

"Chul..."

"Yeah?"

"Tomorrow is the flight to Osaka?"

"Yeah. Why are you asking when you already know?"

"I just- I dunno..."

"Don't worry."

"I'm trying not to. That is why I called you."

"Aish!"

"No, really! Just- just be careful, okay?"

"They are not babies!"

"I know!"

"Stop doing this to yourself. You are sick!"

"I'm trying!"

"Trust me, okay? I'll even hold Wookie's hand up and down the plane if it'll make you feel better."

"Not to that extent!"

"You are seriously such a worrywart."

"I can't help it."

"Ha! Anyway, are you not in pain? You sound so normal, as annoying as ever."

"Yeah it is much better now, you . I'm still irked you couldn't find the time to kiss my pain away."

"Stop being so mushy."

"....I'm not."

"I'm sorry I didn't visit you. I didn't want to disrupt you in the hospital and when you were discharged, I had no time to go and see you."

"Excuses, excuses."

"Take it or leave it, Jungsoo."

"You are a horrible boyfriend."

"Your records aren't stellar either."

"We are bad at being boyfriends?"

"Yeah, we are only together because only I can tolerate your bull."

"Whatever floats your banana boat, Chullie." snickers.

"Yes, yes. But seriously though, are you recovering well? Your Umma told me you had started pacing restlessly all over the house so I'm assuming everything is healing up nicely."

"Awww... Umma gave you updates about me? I can almost forgive her for confiscating my phone."

"Yeah she did when I asked."

"Awww... You asked? You made my heart skip. I thought yo
