Jihoon hadn’t even thought about going home. He knew that if he did -- his roommates would know something was wrong right away. Maybe Jaewha had seen James and he would know... but Jihoon wasn’t going to tell Lacey. Just because he didn’t want to cross the lines still that James had laid. Even with the relationship over, Jihoon was still pretending like nothing had happened between them. Just to protect James and how he felt. There were times where this boy was just too selfless and that is what caused him to get more hurt. While everything was messy towards the end, it was real. And the good moments were definitely frozen in his head. Just so that way maybe he could fully remember the good times and why he loved the other.  Maybe in the future or in a different life they could have a better chance. Maybe both of them could figure out a more healthier way to make it work. And maybe then they could be happy. The small dark haired boy still had strong feelings for the other -- ones he was fighting right now because he didn’t want to cross lines. That seemed to be a constant narrative with Jihoon. He was always thinking of other people and that just fucked him over. Messing a little too much with the zipper of his coat, Jihoon shifted the weight of his frame from foot to foot while he leaned against the wall. Hearing him talk again, Jihoon instinctively looked up and automatically met eyes with James.  It was like as if all at once, all the feeling she had been pushing down for the male came flooding back. The look on his face completely broke the other’s heart and it was clear, seeing as one stray tear rolled down Jihoon’s cheek once James spoke. What was he supposed to say to that? “ I ---” Shaking his head to try and gather his words, he soon tried to speak once more. “I haven’t... I didn’t plan on changing..” it came out in a murmur as he kept eye contact with James. “It’s because I love you. I have always loved you -- all I wanted was your love. All I wanted was to need you and all I needed was you to need me...”

Jae was rotten sometimes when it came to certain things. Honestly, he just wanted to hear it first. He had loved her for a long time, so there was no doubt in his mind that he would say it the moment she did. Seeing the smile on her face only seemed to make his own smile grew. Snaking his arms around her middle as hers wrapped around his neck, he couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle. “I wanted to hear you say it first -- I didn’t wanna scare you away by me saying it first.”

“It’s okay!! I should have figured you were sleeping or doing something different.” He said with a small shrug while keeping her close. Setting her down carefully, Kangdae waited until she had opened the door to her apartment to follow in after her. “I mean, I’m okay. I slept a lot on the plane, so i’m not too bad.” Granted he was definitely playing it off because that was what he always did. Half the time his sister joked at how it was a miracle he was still alive with how badly he took care of his sleep schedule and eating. Dropping his bag on her couch, Kangdae let out a long sigh. “I can just sleep in this, it’ll be fine.”

“Yes! A day!! I mean.. before you could barely keep your hand off mine or hugging me. So, now that kissing is into that mix -- I don’t know if you are gonna know what to do with yourself.” Sometimes all he did was tease, but at this point it was all in a loving manner honestly. Keeping his frame close to Jinwoo’s, Judge immediately relaxed when he heard Jinwoo say that Judge had him. “Good... because I was really worried that my feelings for you was going to push you away from me...” he murmured softly.

Feeling his fingers tangle in his hair caused a small hum to come from Judge. “Like I said -- I have been doing it for weeks, so I think I can handle it.” Seeing the pout on Jinwoo’s lips only caused a small eyeroll from Judge before he gave the other his full attention once he started to talk again. “I give you a day.” Practically curling up against him like a cat, Judge nodded his head. “I will speak up.. but for right now I am good. I just want you.”

Honestly, the male had waited a long time to hear the girl say it. He wasn’t going to pressure her at all to say it. He wanted her to say it first. Hearing the words leave her mouth first, he couldn’t help but smile more. “And I love you too.”

Honestly, he figured the girl would be home. He didn’t even realize that she would have been busy with school. Checking the time to see how late it was and if there were any missed messages. Though, he almost dropped his phone when he heard someone yell his name. Turning around quickly, a bright smile came to the male’s face. As soon as she was jumping into his arms, Kangdae quickly wrapped his arms around her to keep her more steady. Returning the kiss happily, he couldn’t help but smile like an idiot. “Only like... 15 minutes. I thought I did something to piss you off.”

The whole night Aido had been waiting for a phone call from Seo. The small girl knew that it was a bit of a longshot that he would show up. But she had still set up a plate for him. Just so that way if he did decide to show up, he was welcomed and had a place to sit. Aido had just given up on trying to keep her daughter’s socks on her feet, she was about to take them to her shared room with her daughter when she heard a knock at the door. Quickly spinning around, Aido was quick to answer it with a smile. And her smile only seemed to grow when she saw it was Seo on the other side. “Hi!! -- Oh my god, you came! I mean -- not that I didn’t you did but --..” Waving her hands, Aido moved aside so that he could walk in. “Here, come in!!” ( @fckxillusion. )

Kangdae had been standing outside of Shima’s door for about two minutes. He had tried texting her but he was getting no answers. Letting out a groan, Kangdae started to knock on the door before calling out to the girl. “Shiiima! Stop ignoring your prince charming!! I took a red eye flight to get here!” He called out before leaning against the wall by her door and let out another sigh. “I really hope you are home.” ( @pcrfectscore. )

“Did you see the tree on your way up?” The long haired boy asked from his bed as the other walked in. “Chan and his boyfriend Minwoo worked on the tree for like three hours. They did a much better job then I ever could.” He responded with a small laugh before looking up at the other. “How did classes go today? I’m sorry I couldn’t meet up with you today -- I was sick, so I had to stay home and do some classes over skype.” ( @fckxillusion )
