\ You, that I met / ---A seoksoo fanfiction---

1. Sadness & stories

Joshua pov : 

Being a 24-year-old business student who works part-time in a café to pay for rent, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance school and work. Despite the early mornings and endless lectures, I'm content because I know I'm working towards my dream of opening my own company. And I'm not alone in my journey. I have my dear friends Jeonghan, Wonwoo, and Junhui by my side. Though our group may be small, they are the most genuine and caring individuals I've ever met in my life, always there to support me through thick and thin.

 But despite all this, there's a lingering feeling that something is missing. It's like a piece of my soul is absent, and I can't shake the feeling no matter how hard I try. Sitting alone at the bus stop, waiting to go home, I found myself dwelling on this feeling. It was as though my heart was burning with sadness, but I couldn't understand why. The pain felt suffocating and overwhelming.Desperate for a distraction, I decided to video call Jeonghan. He answered after a few rings, and I felt an instant sense of relief just hearing his voice.

conversation on a phone call: 

JS:  Hello, Jeonghan? Are you free to chat for a while?

YJ: Yes joshuji, I am. What happened?

JS: I don't know Han, I am at the bus stop but suddenly I felt a surge of sadness inside me. And the strange part about it is that I don't have a reason to be sad. my day was great.

YJ: Oh Joshuji, you want me to come over? 

JS: No Han, don't cancel your plan with your sister for me, I am absolutely fine. I just felt weirded out by the happenings so I called you. 

YJ: Okay, so tell me what happened. What are you feeling right now?

JS: I don't feel it anymore but when I did it felt as if a part of my soul of hurting so much. It felt like ...........what can I say???......... Like someone so important to me was hurt.

YJ: You are okay now tho?

JS: yes, Han. DON'T WORRY.

YJ: OK OK DON'T SHOUT. I think what you are feeling right now maybe due to some previous trauma. Just try to distract your mind and get proper sleep as it's your day off at the café.  We will talk about this tomorrow, ok?  If anything happens or you feel somehow please let me know instantly, right joshuji?

JS: I will, don't worry. Now go get ready, you look like a mess. You are seeing your sister after so long at least try to dress up properly. 

YS: Yes, I was going to get ready. Maybe you could help me pick an outfit?

JS: Sure, Han. Show me the options.

I was sitting on my couch and surfing through my phone, but my mind was somewhere else. I was thinking about what Jeonghan said. Trauma? But, I don't have any such trauma. I grew up in a loving and supportive family, have great friends, and have never been bullied, then what was that trauma for?

I decided not to think much about it and followed Han's advice of distracting myself. I have to talk to him tomorrow anyway, I will worry about it tomorrow. 

I was sitting on my couch surfing through random stuff on Instagram when I saw a notification flash up on the screen. Junhui has updated his book on Wattpad. This will be a good distraction for a while.  I opened the app and saw that he had updated about 13 parts. Damn, he's serious about this. well, nevermind, his stories are always great and also have a good amount of views. He could be an author someday. I thought and giggled to myself.

As I was reading, I was surprised to see a same person commenting again and again. I had never seen them before but they seemed to be a dedicated fan of Junhui's work. I left a comment at last saying that I loved the update and went into the kitchen to make myself dinner. 

The person had commented on every paragraph, and now they were asking how I knew the author. I found their question a bit odd, but I decided to reply anyway."I go to the same college as him," I typed out my response and hit send. 

 Later in the night, as I continued to watch the anime, my mind couldn't help but wander back to what Jeonghan had said to me earlier. Was there really something that I was suppressing? Something that I couldn't remember? I had never really thought about it before, but now I couldn't seem to shake off the feeling.

 I finished the anime and went to bed, hoping that a good night's sleep would help me clear my head. But as I lay in bed, I couldn't stop thinking about what might have caused my unease.

 The next day, I met up with Junhui in college. We talked about his book for a bit, and I eventually brought up the silly commenter who had asked how I knew him.Junhui laughed, "Oh, that's just one of my fans. They comment on all of my work."I nodded, relieved that it wasn't anything serious.
