smiling, jaehan listened to their new single, fallin' flower. he thought that it sounded so good and meant a lot to him, carats and seventeen, listening to it alone in the living room of their dorm. although jaehan wasn't able to participate in vlives and in all the other promotions, he still participated in recording the songs.
he felt a tiny bit better, by recording the song before and by knowing that it was for carats. if there was something that his heart couldn't drop, it would be carats. if there weren't carats, he knew that he was nothing. there was nothing left to him without seventeen and carats.
shifting on his seat on the couch, jaehan sighed. he missed talking to carats. he missed being able to talk to them but there was this feeling in him that made him feel scared of being online and communicating with people other than the people in their dorms. sometimes, he would even be skeptical with talking to his members.
"jaehan, are you okay?" asked jeonghan, and jaehan nodded.
"i guess. hyung, do you think the carats liked that i participated in the comeback?" jaehan replied, and jeonghan nodded with a soft smile.
he wanted to know what the carats thought, if he did good or not. he wanted to feel appreciated, he wanted to feel less empty.
"of course, jaejae. actually, a lot of carats have been commenting on our instagram saying how much they missed you and how much they were happy to hear your voice on the new song. carats love you, jaehan. and of course, seventeen loves you, too," said jeonghan, patting jaehan's shoulder.
he then sighed, taking his phone out. he wanted to check on his instagram a little, after a couple of weeks not doing so. he wanted to see carats so much.
opening the app, his phone started vibrating endlessly from the notifications he was receiving. there were a lot, especially the tags and comments.
not being able to resist it, jaehan decided to post a photo of himself just to thank the carats and just... be there.
not too long later, his notifications flooded again.

jaehan smiled. he was so happy. carats were still there for him. it was his first time going on a hiatus since debuting, and it was slightly scary for him but he knew. he knew now that carats will always be there to catch him.
his phone vibrated again, and now it was a text message. he grinned, reading who it was from.
