Dearest, In My Memories | JAECHAN

three.

Dear Jaeyoon,

9:06 A.M. — You woke me with your soft lips trailing along my skin, pressing little kisses in multitude along my cheek and down to my jaw. Even one against my neck, which caused me to pry my eyes open and jolt awake. You teased my breathless whine, simply kissing my lips so I wouldn't protest for being awake. I wanted to keep sleeping, you know how much I love my sleep, but it's okay. I forgive you. I always do.

Today is your off day, and you were like a puppy with eyes so wide, a smile so big. I couldn't help but sigh, resign from my sleepy state, and laugh a little. So I asked you, "why'd you wake me?"

You made me breakfast.

But also, you tend to sleep in on your off-days.

I tried to recall if it was our anniversary, or if our anniversary was near at all. And it was not, so I wonder if you simply wanted to wake up - to not mess up your body's sleep schedule. I just hope it's that. (Even though I could see the gloominess lingering in your eyes, darkened circles pressed below your eyes. Are you sleeping okay?)

I already told you this after we ate, but your cooking is delicious. I missed it, probably because I cook more these days.

10:27 A.M. — I forgot what I was going to note down specifically, but Seokwoo is calling.

10:31 A.M. — Writing while I have Seokwoo on the phone. I remembered I was going to tell you that I messaged Youngbin about a job at his bakery as I apply for places, and I start next Tuesday! Look at me! A baker! (I know I'm not one yet... silence. I can already envision that side glance you're going to give me...)

10:38 A.M. — From the tea I'm gathering from Seokwoo: he confronted his acquaintance and told him how it's his fault it ended like this. His acquaintance said it was purposeful because he doesn't want Seokwoo with Juho. But! Seokwoo slapped him! And told him not to contact him anymore! Getting rid of the trash, hell yeah! Never liked that guy anyway.

But anyway, he says he's feeling calmer, and he arranged a little hang out at a park with Juho, who agreed because he felt better too. They're meeting in three days since Juho's currently having a road trip with Taeyang and Sanghyuk - Younkgyun was moping about it since he couldn't go. (Damn, no invite?? Kidding! Wait, can we have a road trip soon? Just us two? Whenever you get vacation days?)

12:08 P.M. — I went to the park since Inseong invited you out. It has been awhile since you guys hung out, I didn't realize it had been that long. I invited Youngkyun since he's alone at his place, simply counting down the days for Taeyang to come back home.

I'm sitting on a picnic table right now, but I'm starting to regret it. I see a gang of ants to my left getting in formation. I think they're declaring war on me as we speak...

12:19 P.M. — You did not just send me that selfie!!

12:21 P.M. — Youngkyun is here now, so I'm going to end my letter here. I can't wait to see you later!! And hear about your adventures with Inseong!

I'm still craving that ice cream,

Chanhee
