@chastered / continued thread.
whether it’s because they are childhood friends, friends now or that arther has a crush on him ... it truly doesn’t matter. the only thing that weighted enough for arther to give a shit about was the fact that hyunjae was still there with him. that he called or texted arther whenever he was in need of a company. this might change in the future for various of reasons but for now, it’s good enough. the werewolf learned to be satisfied with what he has ever since he was banned from his own family. he is sure that his parents already got rid of all of his records and ties to the family.
‘ if not me then someone else would. you are loved, hyunjae. ’ he reminded with a warm smile. warm enough to brighten up his features but not enough to hide the glimpse of sadness in his eyes. ‘ that must be it. you are exhausted. i remember you getting very whiny when you were exhausted as a kid. ’ he chuckled lightly. ‘ have you tried some sleeping tea ?? ’
a small pout formed onto his lips upon hearing the other male’s words he was fully aware that arther was coming from a good place , but he couldn’t help but almost feel sorry for the other for being pushed into the darkness when he was pushed into the spotlight so to speak. even when they were growing as kids he always seemed to be the center of attention and arther was always pushed to the side so he always blamed himself for pretty much all of the bad luck that befell the other especially with his family pretty much disowning him even if he knew that he could do or say at that point in order to stop it from happening. now when they’re both adult he still felt bad for arther as he always seemed to have this sad look his eyes even when he was smiling he always seemed like something was bothering him deep down inside so hyunjae felt this pang of guilt for calling out the other out of the blue like this.
" that’s not what i mean arther you know that i’m always grateful for your friendship especially nowadays. " he said letting out a soft sigh gently rubbing circle onto their hand. it was almost like at this point his problem paled in comparison to whatever arther was dealing in he was just so self absorbed that he didn’t even know that his best friend was dealing with his own demons." that could be it i’ll let my manager know to buy me some tomorrow , but what about you arther are you okay ?? "
