Soonyoung once heard a saying from the movie called, "The Philosophers" regarding the meaning and sensibility of punctuality.
'It's better to be three hours early than a minute too late.'
They were right about that and since Soonyoung was in middle school, he lived up to that saying and he appreciates people who becomes influenced with that saying yet no matter how many times he had scolded Seokmin with this, he doesn't seem to get the meaning of what punctuality is like for Soonyoung.
For Soonyoung, he seemed lost but for Seokmin, he was just lazy to meet up with Soonyoung at the exact time. There would always be an excuse or a reason as to why he'd be late for a fifteen minutes or even twenty and Soonyoung will just understand it. After all, he is a sucker for a wide smiling flower like Seokmin.
Him being mad at him for being late is like him being mad at Soonshin, it just doesn't last that long.
But this time, it seems that the table has turned. Soonyoung and Seokmin has made an agreement to meet each other during the weekends to study for the midterms examinations or rather for Seokmin to hang out with each other on this new library café near campus. They were ought to meet each other there at exactly 9 o'clock sharp, however, Soonyoung woke up at around 10:02 in the morning and was mortified to see dozens of messages from Seokmin.
He planned to wake up at 7 in the morning to take a shower and organize the things that he need for this study day with Seokmin and yet he had to sleep in for too long. To think that it took him a hard time to persuade Seokmin to go out with him then this happened. He mentally facepalmed himself as he continued fixing his things and typing a message to Seokmin, finding an excuse in his head as to why he was late.
After 20 minutes of arranging his stuff, taking a quick shower and clothing himself. He rushed out of his room and out to the front door but he immediately stop when he saw a guy exactly with the same figure as Seokmin has on their living room playing with Soonshin. He stepped backwards a few times to take another good look and saw that it was really Seokmin.
"Good Morning to you, Soonyoung." Seokmin greeted without even looking at him. Soonyoung came rushing to his side, sitting nex to him. Seokmin was playing around with Soonshin using this action figure riding a car while Soonshin was giggling a lot when Seokmin's toy flew off his hands because Soonshin defeated the bad guy.
"How long have you been here, Seokmin?" Soonyoung asked him. Seokmin only glared at him and continued to play action figures with Soonshin. Soonyoung scratched his head in annoyance and placed his backpack on the floor next to their sofa. Seokmin must have waited in the cafe for a long time, for him to be ignoring Soonyoung like this. He was really sorry that he overslept and ditched Seokmin but he really had no idea that the time went so fast.
"Seokmin. Talk to me." Soonyoung said while poking him on his back. Seokmin was still ignoring him, and is talking to Soonshin about their toys.
"Seokmin, I'm sorryyy. Forgive me!" He said seemingly desperate. Seokmin stared at him narrowly before rolling his eyes at him again. Soonyoung could only huff in frustration and keeps poking Seokmin on the back, desperate to make him be noticed by Seokmin. He's been doing it for a long time that, Seokmin grew more annoyed and hit Soonyoung with the pillow he has been sitting on, at his face.
Soonyoung frowned and grew more persistent. He furrowed his brows and smiled widely readying himself for his speedy poking ability to be done on Seokmin's sides and back. He started poking and poking and poking Seokmin when Seokmin clearly had enough that he threw the action figure at Soonyoung. Soonshin could only laugh hard at his uncle's misfortune and ran off to somewhere.
"Ow. That hurts, Seok!" Seokmin crossed both his arms across his chest and said, "You shouldn't have irritated me that much. I was ignoring you for a reason!"
"I know you were! That's the reason I was trying to gain your attention, so that I could apologize to you properly." He said while rubbing his reddish chin from the thrown toy.
"You made me wait at that cafe you've been dreading to go to about that even made you to bother me by forcing me out of bed at such an early time on a weekend! Only for me to know that you were still asleep at 9:37 when I called your home phone!" Seokmin said while flailing his hands around while ranting off to Soonyoung.
"I'm sorry! We can still go since there's still time—" He was cutted off by Seokmin when he wavers his hands off to shush him from talking.
"The cafe's full with people now, I don't want to go there anymore. I'm also tired from all the waiting." He sternly said which made Soonyoung frown and Seokmin roll his eyes at him.
"Well, I don't like to study here." Seokmin shrugs at Soonyoung's statement and lays himself on the floor an shrugs at him,
"Well, I guess you just have to deal with it." Seokmin said then turned the television on watch.
Soonyoung could only sigh and let his body be molded as one with the couch. Though, he has to admit, Seokmin looks dashing still even when he's annoyed at him.
