moon jieun - sunday

changbin

morning, just checking in.
did you sleep okay?

-

my eyes widen as i read the text over and over again. i ran a hand through my tangled black hair, sitting up in my bed, my thumbs hovering over the keyboard as i type out a response.

changbin

yeah, i slept well.

good morning.

that's good to hear.

any plans today?

not much, just breakfast
with my family for now.

sounds exciting.

did you go to that party
last night?

no, i told you i wasn't
going.

i know i just figured...

i was home pretty early i'm
sure the party was still going
on.

it was.

oh?

i didn't want to keep you from
it, you know?

you didn't. it was my choice.

but you usually go? seungmin
said you never miss one.

usually, yes.

so why'd you change your mind?

it's stupid...

-

my brows furrow at that. he felt stupid? the man seemed so put together i couldn't think of something that would make him feel that way.

changbin

tell me.

i mean... if you want.

promise you won't make fun
of me?

you think i'd do that?

no, i didn't mean it like that.

i just meant... it's silly.

try me.

i was kinda sorta hoping you'd
text me after i dropped you off.

and i don't know... maybe ask for
me to pick you back up and take you
on a walk or even just text.

it's stupid i know, i should have went
to the party, but i was just waiting
on a text or something.

feels even more stupid since you
didn't even text.

not that i blame you or anything.
you didn't have to text me.
