I’m the drought, you’re rain
I’m paper, you’re a poem
Your attention changes the brightness
of my empty heart, you’re light
Your arms, my home,
my breath, my god
You grabbed me when I was falling
Fly again

"So..how was your vacation
with Seungmin? How was France?"
Minho wriggled his eyebrows when
his assistant only blushed furiously,
now typing even more determined
on his laptop.
"It was.. It was okay."
"Only okay?"
"No, it was amazing. Minnie-
Seungmin and I had such great
cheese and the wine was amazing.
We went to so many cafes, tried cakes
and coffees and visited the Louvre.
The eiffel tower was honestly a
little disappointing but then again
it was so cold there that we didn't
visit many sights that weren't indoor.
I guess we just had a wonderful
time together. And Strasbourg
was nice too, it feels a lot smaller
and more peaceful than Paris.
It's nice for taking walks."
Hyunjin sighed as he rested his
chin on his palm, staring dreamingly
out of the large windows.
"Minnie, huh?"
The ravenette chuckled
when Hyunjin only whined
in embarrassment and hid
his face behind his hands.
"It's okay, it's kinda cute.
So.. Are you two.. A thing now?"
But the now blonde shook
his head softly.
"We agreed on taking things slow.
Seungmin went through a lot
and without spilling too much,
his experience with relationships
wasn't really great so far.
But he's giving me a chance
and I'm giving him time, I'm
really happy about that."
And Minho was really happy
for his friend too.
He knew that Hyunjin had longed
for a true love for years, practically
since they knew each other the
younger male had always been in
a state of searching for someone
who could complete him, someone
he could complete.
But people were too focused on
visuals and money these days to
actually care about a deep
connection to their partner.
And even though he didn't
know Seungmin that well, he
was Jisung's close friend and
Minho trusted his husband.
If Hyunjin was happy,
he was happy for him too.
He deserved it, he really did.
"I'm glad, we should go on a
couple date when you two are
officially together. I think
that'd be fun."
"If you find a babysitter,
I don't think we'll start dating
before your baby comes."
"Guess we'll have a couple date
at our apartment then, there's no
way I'm letting anyone else besides
Jisung take care of our little one."
"If you cook I don't see a problem."
Hyunjin chuckled before his
gaze returned to the file that
was open on his laptop.
There was a lot of work to do,
they've been absent for a
few days after all.
"Hi Ji, I'm surprised to see you here!"
Chan's whole face practically
lit up when his eyes fell on
his expecting friend.
"I'm not here to work, I'm here
to steal Bin's boyfriend.
Felix told me that he'd drop
Bin off at the company and I
had to talk with the manager
about something so we
agreed on meeting here.
It's been ages since we two
went out together, such a pity."
"Ah, okay. Have fun then.
By the way, you look really good.
You look well-rested, I assume
your vacation was great?"
"Yeah, it was amazing."
Jisung smiled softly as he
subconsciously tugged on the hem
of his hoodie, his subconscious
mind scared that someone could
notice how his hoodie bulged a little
weirdly around his midsection.
"I'm glad you had a good time,
it was about time that you two
took some time off to breathe
for a moment.
And are you already on uhm..
You know.. Maternity leave?"
Chan whispered the last part
so nobody would hear it.
"Starting from next week, yeah.
There are still a few things I need
to get done but then I'll finally go
rest and spend my days in my
comfy bed just because I can."
"That sounds like a good plan.
Ah, Bin and Felix are here.
So, see you soon?"
"Yeah, see ya.
Good luck with the track."
"Thanks, Ji."
The blonde waved at his friend
before he made his way over to
Felix who was already waiting
with the biggest smile on his face,
his eyes practically shining.
"Ji! It's been so long!"
The freckled male squealed as
he pulled Jisung into a tight hug,
being careful with his belly though.
"Oh my gosh, you have a baby bump.
That's so cute, aww."
"Shhh, most people don't know yet
even if it slowly gets hard to hide it."
"Oh right, I'm sorry.
But I'm so excited, I'm really
so happy for you, Ji. Now let's go,
I picked a café that should be
almost empty at this hour.
I'm so curious about the little one!"
Felix got a hold of his friend's arm so
he could lead him to his car, he had
promised Jisung that he'd drive.
The café had almost no visitors just
like the silver-blonde had promised
and Jisung was really glad about that.
They found a free sitting booth in
the back of the cafe where the blonde
could take his jacket off without
having to worry about someone
seeing his belly but he still sat
close to the table so it was rather
hard to notice the baby bump.
"How far along are you now?"
"23 weeks.
A bit over five months."
"So the baby will come in June, right?"
"Yeah, I'm already looking forward
to giving birth in the summer heat,
it'll be fun. But at least we got air
conditioning in the hospitals,
imagine how it was a few
hundred years ago."
Jisung chuckled softly before
he took a sip of his lemonade.
"Ji?"
"Hm?"
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course!
Everything okay?"
And although the freckled male
nodded, the frown on his face
said otherwise.
"You know that Binnie is turning
thirty next year too and I've
always wanted to have kids
before I turn thirty.
Which leaves us two years but..
Whenever I bring up the topic,
Binnie disappears as fast as possible.
Honestly I always thought he liked
children so I'm not sure how
to interpret his reaction.
Does he not want kids anymore?
Or am I the reason?"
Jisung sighed softly as he reached
over to hold his friend's hand,
giving it a comforting squeeze.
"Lix, I don't think it's because of you.
Maybe he's just scared and not
ready yet. I mean, even I know
that you always wanted three
children and that's a lot. Raising
kids is a huge responsibility and
it's expensive too, especially in
a big city like Seoul."
"I thought that.. Maybe you
could have a talk with him?
You're one of his closest friends
and I know you struggled a bit
at first too, maybe he can at
least tell you a reason."
"Lix, I don't know.."
"Please, Ji. If he won't talk to me,
that's fine. But he needs to open
up to someone, just like I did now."
There were tears glistening in
the younger's eyes as he begged
but Jisung could only sigh again.
He didn't want to intrude on the
relationship of his friends and this
was a very personal, sensitive topic.
If Changbin already didn't talk to
his significant other, why should he
want to talk to his friend about it?
And it felt wrong to get a proper
answer out of him just because Felix
hadn't gotten that one himself yet.
"I'll ask him if he wants to talk
about it, okay? But I'll be honest
and tell him that you talked to me
about this. You are both my friends,
I love you both a lot so I don't want
to be the bad guy in this."
