Gazing out the window, Mingi sat cross legged on a dining chair with a mug of hot coffee in his hands, soaking up the sun. The nice thing about the dorm that he and San lived in, was that the university accomodation was set in a more naturalistic part of town, less dominated by concrete and buildings, and more inclusive of grass and trees and less densely populated areas.

And so gazing out at a couple of butterflies that were fluttering around the flower garden out the front of their dorm, Mingi felt at home, and calmer than he'd felt in a long time.

Not once had he felt ill in the days following his fainting episode in the hospital that day. Instead, he had made full use of his medical certificate, using his time to stay at home and study, and venture out to walk the nature trail behind the dorms in his free time. It wasn't something that he often had time for, but it was something that he sorely missed doing.

Ding.

Glancing over at the table, he saw his phone screen light up, and wondered whether it was San.

Wandering over however, he did a double take when he saw the name.

9:02am
New Message: Yunho
Are you doing okay?

Smiling in amusement at his to-the-point message, Mingi took his phone back to the window, pulling his knees up to cross his legs again.

Mingi
Heyy ~

Looks like I'm as good as new 🙊

Yunho
Thank God

Mingi

'Yunho texted again. I'm busy'
'Answer this'

Yunho

Yunho

Mingi

Yunho

"Drinks tonight?"
"Busy, can't."

Yunho

Mingi

Yunho

Mingi laughed at the long time it had taken Yunho to respond to one small message. It made his chest ache, but he pushed it down.

Mingi
That's okay, I can go later? I'm in no rush 😇

Yunho
Are you sure?
You don't have to

Mingi
