- Third Person POV -
Jeonghan sat near his window, looking out at the rain that poured as though comforting his tears.
"How are you feeling?" Seungcheol entered his room leaning on the door frame.
"A lot better now..." Jeonghan gulped, turning around.
"Cool. Cool. Good to hear." Seungcheol smiled.
"Ah... The suit. Didn't you say you had something to do?" Jeonghan asked, tilting his head.
"Yeah, done with that." Seungcheol lied, remembering how he'd ditched Mingyu for Jeonghan.
"Cheol... I'm sorry... For this and that other time..." Jeonghan looked at the floor.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop apologizing?" Seungcheol smiled to himself. "It's not like you wanted it to happen, right?"
"Anyway, I'm sure that was a panic attack just now." Seungcheol reminded the way Jeonghan wasn't able to breathe. "Look, if you could just fill me in on the details of what you've been experiencing, maybe we can manage the—"
"It's okay, feeling anxious after a breakup is normal. I've been reading all about it." Jeonghan glanced at his bookshelf, which had 3 books on the top right corner. "Don't worry. I know how to cope. I just need time. And I'd appreciate it if you don't make a big deal out of it."
"But Han..." Just as Seungcheol was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mrs. Boo's voice from downstairs.
"HAN! I RAN THE BATH FOR YOU. CHANGE OUT OF YOUR CLOTHES BEFORE YOU GET SICK!"
Jeonghan really felt like he was being scolded by his mother.
"Ummm.... I better go." Jeonghan bit his lip walking past Seungcheol.
"Sure. Tomorrow morning, around 5 am, okay?" Seungcheol smiled.
They faced away from each other.
"Yeah. Again, sorry for the trouble." Jeonghan walked away to soak in his bath.
"So stubborn." Seungcheol sighed and without a second thought walked into Jeonghan's room. "He counters everything I say like it's his job."
"Hm? What do we have here?" A pinboard on the wall over Jeonghan's table caught Seungcheol's eyes.
Tap! Tap!
He walked over to the pin board and unpinned the picture, looking at it. "Hello, we meet again..."
He realized Jeonghan was only digging himself into a pit of empty feelings by keeping this picture of his ex with him.
"Coping, huh?" He chuckled at the stupid word. "You're all talk, Forehead."
"You contradictory mess." Seungcheol felt something surface in him as he kept the picture on the table.
He took two pieces of paper and scribbled words and drawings on them as he stuck them over the picture. "Sorry Mystery Miss, but I have to do this."
"Stop distracting him for a bit, okay?" Seungcheol pinned his new creation on the pinboard.
"Heh. It's not too bad if I say so myself." He smiled, looking at the final product.
><><><><
Seungcheol had disappeared by the time Jeonghan returned to his room.
11:11 PM
Jeonghan dried his hair before sitting down on his chair as he sighed, keeping his head on the table.
"That was terrifying..." He mumbled under his breath as he looked up in search of the picture he always looked at.
But what he found was Seungcheol's piece of art. "Wha—"
"You think you're so smart? It just makes me want to do the exact opposite if you put it that way." He unpinned the creation and flipped it over.
"Pfft!" Jeonghan laughed out loud.
"Clever bastard." He smiled, pinning the flipped side to face him.
He stood up, turning the lights off as he nuzzled into his bed.
"Sure, you win this one."
><><><><
The next morning...
Jeonghan was just about to step into the water when Seungcheol called him.
"Han! Over here!" Seungcheol ran to him smiling as he held out his hand with the ring. "I found it, see?"
"Eh?" Jeonghan blushed as Seungcheol got on one knee and took his hand, slipping the ring into his ring finger as though proposing to him. "W-Wait, what are you—"
"Hold on to it better this time, okay?" Seungcheol stood up, pulling Jeonghan by his waist until he hit his chest.
"Jeonghan~"
