- Third Person POV -
"Jisoo. I think I need your advice." Jeonghan gulped.
"Sure, what's it about?" Jisoo scanned his slightly blushing face with a twitching eye. He wanted to take Seokmin's advice and not get truly involved but... A little advice wouldn't hurt.
"It's about Cheol..." Jeonghan poked his fingers together looking away. "Ummm... Y-You see... I realized something recently..."
"You into him?" Jisoo smirked before Jeonghan could speak.
"I really like him—" Jeonghan's voice came out as a whisper under Jisoo's words.
A second passed and Jeonghan realized what Jisoo had just asked. His head snapped up looking at Jisoo. "W-What?! How did you know?!"
"It's obvious that you've warmed up to him really quickly." Jisoo pulled Jeonghan's chair and sat down facing him with a chuckle. "At first I thought it was just friendly but lately I've noticed that you've been giving him heart eyes every chance you get."
"So uhh... What do you think? I was expecting your usual overdramatic reaction, y'know." Jeonghan looked at him in confusion.
"Han's love life usually calls for reasonable and logical Jisoo. I'm trying to channel him." Jisoo joined his hands together and ripped them apart the next second. "But don't get me wrong! Crushes make life more fun and Cheol's pretty cool! Good for you!"
"Yeah, I'm thinking of asking him out soon." Jeonghan curled his hair behind his ear.
"W-Woah there, lover boy, soon? How soon? Why the rush?"
"Why not? You and Seokmin started dating the same day you met."
"Well yeah, not to offend you but I don't have six years of emotional baggage behind me." Jisoo became serious. "Sorry, I know it's not what you wanted to hear. I just don't want my friend making big decisions without thinking it through first. Are you sure about your feelings?"
"I know what you're worried about, you think this has more to do with Yeon-ee than Cheol."
"Look you even have all these books about moving on." Jisoo looked sadly over at the four books on sadness which were all about how to cope with a breakup. "Have you read all of them?"
"Yes, I've read them. And no, it's not a rebound. This is not me just trying to fill in the gaps Yeon-ee left with Cheol so don't worry." Jeonghan smiled. "Cheol is completely different. I've never been this honest with anyone even though there's the fear of being completely vulnerable to him, my desire to be close to him overpowers that."
"Okay, if you say your feelings are genuine then I'm not gonna question it but don't you think this is going too fast? You've barely settled in." Jisoo moved the chair closer to Jeonghan.
"Okay, let's say you don't have feelings for Yeon-ee anymore, that still doesn't change the fact that you've been hurt... Wouldn't it be better to let the wounds heal first?" Jisoo entangled his hands with Jeonghan's to comfort him.
"Today, next month, a year from now. What difference does it make?" Jeonghan bit his lip gulping.
"It's your sense of urgency that worries me, Han." Jisoo looked at him with deep worry. "Tell me, why do you need it to happen right away?"
Jeonghan pulled his hands away and hugged himself.
"I-I don't know. It's hard to put it into words... I feel like I need to chase after something. Like something bad is going to happen if I don't." Jeonghan trembled in fear. "I-I can't put my finger on it but it's like... ...Like I'm gonna run out of time soon. For what exactly... I have no idea."
Jeonghan clenched his teeth and stumped back on his bead covering his face. "Ugh, you suck! I told you because I just wanted someone to cheer me on! Stop making me question my feelings!"
"You obviously needed it!" Jisoo folded his arms chuckling.
"So, it's a bad idea after all..." Jeonghan sighed.
"No, not at all! But something like that can wait, maybe push it aside for now? You want to be honest about your intentions, right?"
"Yeah..."
"How will you do that if there are still parts of yourself that you don't understand? Maybe that's something you have to look into first. Surely the process will be smoother if you understand yourself more." Jisoo smiled.
"I already know where this conversation is going..."
"Yup! You know it!
"Fine. I'll see the therapist..." Jeonghan clicked his tongue.
"For real? You're not just saying it to make me shut up?" Jisoo raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, for real this time. It'll be after my foot heals though. I don't want to be limping all over the place."
"Yay! You won't regret it, I promise! Do you want to try mine?" Jisoo pulled out his phone.
"There is one Cheol suggested. Their calling car is pinned over there." Jeonghan pointed towards his table.
"Already choosing Cheol over me. You're in deep, huh?" Jisoo chuckled picking up the card. "What made you cave in? I bet it's the dog onesie."
"N-No idea, honestly, a man who has different colored crocs for every occasion would be the last person on my list..." Jeonghan blushed hugging his pillow. "...And yet here we are."
"Haha! Maybe ask the therapist that."
"Yeah, maybe I should."

Under the blazing hot sun in the afternoon, Seungcheol walked with Chan to the...
Melt!
"Waaah! Oh no!" The dinosaur-shaped ice cream Chan held began to melt in his hands. "Stay still! I wanna show you to grandma!"
"It's okay! We have flowers for her already." Seungcheol chuckled carrying a bouquet of various flowers.
"B-But..." Chan pouted looking up at him.
"It's gonna fall if you don't eat it now. Hurry!" Seungcheol walked with Chan down the path.
And in one big bite without a word, Chan chopped the entire dinosaur into his mouth.
Brain Freeze!
"O-Ow..." Chan almost came on the verge of tears as he grabbed his head letting go of the cone. "Head hurts..."
"Oh no, come here." Seungcheol took Chan in his arms and kissed his forehead. "Pain, pain go away~"
"Better?" Seungcheol asked with a smile as he continued walking.
"Silly Papa! Kisses won't get rid of Pain. You need medicine!"
"E-Eh?" Seungcheol wondered when Chan had gotten so smart.
"Papa is a good doctor so you should know that!"
"Hahaha! My son is so smart. Your grandma would've loved you."
"Hmm, grandma... Do you think grandma will like the flowers?" Chan asked as they walked past a few more trees coming to an open field.
"Of course, you picked them for her."
"How much longer? I wanna give them to her already." Chan pouted.
"Almost there just around the corner." Seungcheol walked coming in front of a tree. "Here we are."
The mellow green grass under the clear blue sky was the graveyard where Seungcheol's mother's body lay and her soul in heaven peacefully watching down on them.
"Can I give them now?" Chan asked as Seungcheol let him down on his feet handing him the flowers.
"Sure, go ahead." Seungcheol smiled watching Chan bend down as he placed the flowers over her tomb that was buried underground.
"Hi, grandma! My name is Chanie and I'm almost four!"

Hey so... I was thinking...
Would you guys like to binge-read this story? Because It will take around two more weeks for Season 1 to come to an end.
I was thinking that I could update every Sunday with 14 Eps so that you could binge this.
Tell me what your thoughts are on it.
