*Part ninety-seven*

san's head shot up, holy shit.

"jongsoo?"

the new face nodded

"yeah, he's my brother"

"you're jisoo then" san said

"how did yo-"

"i'm san, i was jongsoo's roommate in the ward a couple years ago" san cut jisoo off

"that jongsoo?" felix eyes were wide

"you're san!" jisoo smiled. san nodded with an unreadable expression "holy shit, jongsoo talked about you all the time. follow me"

san immediately jumped up and followed, the friend group following with. they finally reached the school entrance where a familiar boy sat

"jongsoo!" jisoo yelled

the boy turned, only being able to see his brothers figure so he stood up and walked up the steps until he saw him. "san." he said to himself before they ran into each other's arms

"holy shit" jongsoo cried into his old roommates shoulder

"i didn't think i was ever gonna see you again what the hell" san cried

jongsoo only called a few selective time after that first phone call. after that, san didn't hear from him again.

"my aunt was working for so long to adopt us, i was in foster care for a long time. i went back and for there from there, to my parents, and to my aunts. i didn't really have a way to call you. and then once i did i forgot your number" jongsoo ranted on and on. san could only hug him again and tell him everything he's missed.

the friend group watched from a few feet away, smiling so brightly. the. lia suddenly laughed.

"your parents really kept up the whole 'soo' thing huh?"

"yep, they're assholes" jisoo laugh

the friend group exchanged numbers with jisoo and jongsoo that day. they also introduced them to their families after the last bell rang. and a week later, they're all hanging out.

"where jongsoo and san?" lia asked as jisoo walked i to the cafeteria

"i don't know, probably making out" the group all laughed. jongsoo and san have been very obvious that they were definitely more than friends back in the ward. even though it's been years since they've seen each other, they act like they've been around each other since birth.

"wouldn't doubt it" jisung laughed.

mingi sat there quietly. no ones really sure what's wrong, mainly because he doesn't even know what's wrong.

when it was time to go home, the ride there he was quiet. when he walked in he was quiet. the dads decided to give him some space when they asked what was wrong and he just shrugged.

but jongho wasn't having it.

"come in" mingi muttered when someone knocked on his door
