love me.

05. desperate for you

the tall boy stood at the top of the staircase as he watched his dad enter the house.

he wore a business suit with a briefcase in his hand.

ever since his mum had left him, his dad had gotten busier with his work; he would sometimes go out with his friends and drink.

overall, he barely comes home.

hyunjin, on the other hand, was already used to being alone in the house so it didn't really surprise him.

watching his dad turn to the maids for a small conversation, he remained silent.

when the conversation ended, his dad turned to him.

he quickly bowed to his dad as he acknowledged his greeting.

"hello son, how was your day?" his dad asked in a low voice.

hyunjin hesitated for a second before replying, "it was good, how was work?"

it was like this every time he came home.

they would ask each other how their days had been and that was it.

none of them were bothered to find something to talk to in common and both of them had no effort in expanding the conversation.

"yeah, it was okay, busy as always." hyunjin nodded.

his dad immediately knew that they wouldn't be saying anymore words so he quickly informed hyunjin something before walking into the living room.

"do well in your studies and take care of yourself." he nodded.

"arraseo."

he kept a straight face and slowly nodded before leaving hyunjin as he stood there.

he sighed and walked back to his room.

their relationship weren't close; it was as if his dad was a guest staying at his house.

when he got inside his room, he didn't do anything but just laid on his bed.

he stared at the ceiling for a good few minutes with thoughts running through his head.

hyunjin was desperate for the older again.

though it was weird that he couldn't stop thinking about someone he didn't know, he just couldn't stop thinking about wanting to see him again.

'is he possibly still a student?'

'or is he an adult now?'

'where does he work if he has one?'

'what school does he go to if he's a student?'

all of these questions were being asked countless of times and he was so curious.

but there was one question he was dying to know.

'will i meet him again?'

-

that night, he couldn't sleep. 

he kept shuffling and groaning in frustration.

he just couldn't help but wonder about the boy who had saved him from committing a suicide.

these thoughts were just running around inside his head and he couldn't stop it.

hyunjin eventually gave up and sat up annoyingly.

it was still midnight and everyone was already in bed sleeping.

he looked around the room when he decided to just look out of the window and watch the moon as it shone brightly in his room.

getting out of bed and walking closer to the window, he sat down on the chair where he could see the full moon in front of him.

there were so many stars in the sky that he couldn't count them at all.

he rested his head on his hand as his elbow made contact with the table.

the only sound that could be heard in silence was the sound of the clock ticking in the living room which was downstairs.

it was faint but he could still hear it.

tomorrow was supposed to be another start of the week with tutoring but he didn't care about not getting enough sleep.

the voice of the older was playing inside hyunjin's head.

he could still remember what his voice sounds like, all he needed to know were his personal information.

but he knew he wouldn't be getting any because to the boy, hyunjin meant nothing but a stranger to him.

just because they've met once, doesn't always mean they would see each other again.

it just had to be a coincidence to which hyunjin didn't want.

his intention was to meet him again and not just some coincidence.

he wanted to bump into him on purpose and get the older to talk to him.

he sighed again and blankly stared at the moon.

hyunjin pictured him on the moon yet he couldn't help but smile.

he glanced at the moon for a long time without knowing how long it had been since he sat there.

time was passing and it didn't take him that long when he went into his dreamland.

that night, he ended up dreaming about the older.
