your phone suddenly lights up with a call notification. you pick it up and quickly answer the call.
"hey," the voice on the other line says.
you clear your throat as you try and find the right tone to reply.
you close your eyes and put your hands to your face as you try not to cringe at yourself.
"nervous?" ryul asks, taking you by surprise.
your hand instinctively goes to your hair as you brush through it, almost as reassurance, as you collect yourself, "what? no way."
you hear a short snicker from the call. "alright alright," he replies, "k i'm almost wrapping up."
"oh by the way, other than the two blocks of netherite, did you lose any more?"
you let out a quiet sigh, "um..! actually no, i didnt.. but maybe that was a blessing in disguise!"
you can almost hear him smile as he adds, "haha that's true. mining might not be your calling after all," a few keyboard clicks echo from his mic, "uh.. but that's fine."
you can't help but smile at his reply as you bite your lip.
"i can always try building?"
"i mean i've never done it but, it shouldn't be that bad."
"yeah i think that would be better," after a quick pause, he continues, "alright perfect. i have this project i've been working on, this village area for trading and stuff-"
you nod at his reply, muttering a quiet "okay".
"i'm like 75% done the building part, but i honestly have no idea what to do for the color scheme. i have a shulker with some banners and carpets that you can use."
"there's also the storage room with more stuff."
"the one with our beds?" you immediately ask.
you notice ryul has gone completely silent.
"...our beds..." he awkwardly remarks.
you let out a breathy laugh at his sudden change in demeanor, did you just catch him off guard?
after a couple more seconds of pure silence, he continues, "do you know how to get there by yourself?"
"alright just let me know if you get lost. when you get the stuff just let me know, i'll tp you to where i am."
"okok got it," you say, fidgeting in your chair as you make your way to ryul's storage room.
for a couple minutes, you look around the abundance of chests, picking out a couple flowers, lanterns, and glass panes.
he really knew his stuff, and it was evident in his vast collection of different items.
from various coloured dyes to.. a sea pickle, it almost felt like you were intruding into a space that held so much sentiment.
it was like you were entering an entirely new world: his world.
you smiled to yourself at the thought.
a little later, you finally finish gathering your decorations.
despite how long neither of you had spoken, ryul almost immediately replies, "alright let me teleport you then. hold on..."
facing him again in the game you move your mouse around, observing the progress he had made on his build.
"woah this is so cool, there are like individual stands for each guy."
"yeah, villagers. you would not believe how long it took me to transport all of them here," he adds with a sigh.
"that's crazy, i could never."
"honestly i'm just glad it's over. i only have a bit left before i can take a break from building." in game, ryul starts placing a few blocks on a half-finished structure, "if i finish today i can help with decorating as well."
"sounds good!" you respond as you move over to an empty stand, opening your inventory to pick which block to use first.
āoh my days youāre genuinely so lazy,ā woojin says as ryul opens the door.
āhello to you too,ā ryul sarcastically replies, taking the drink from woojin's hand before returning to his desk.
sitting back down, he turns his head toward woojin, whoās still standing at the door frame.Ā
ā..are you gonna leaveā¦?āĀ
āiāve been wondering, hyung,ā he suddenly says, before pausing to think, āyou like this girl, right?ā
the abrupt question almost makes ryul choke on his drink as he starts non-stop coughing. finally collecting himself, he spins his chair around to face his member.
āyo," he pauses, covering his mouth to let out a cough, "you canāt just ask something like that.ā
ryul immediately tries to deny woojinās claims, causing the younger to let out a quiet laugh.
āif itās nothing but friends, explain that wide ass grin on your face."
"no way i'm being manipulated right now.. it's not like that!"
"sure..." woojin replies, walking over to ryul's desk and peering at his computer screen.
"what's this?" he asks as he points at the bit of text reading: "audio call ended: 11:38"
woojin claps in amusement, "you just called her...? ryul. you just CALLED HER?"
ryul stands up, putting his hand over woojin's mouth, "can you shut up?? oh my god you're so loud," checking the open door, he continues, "before you start. it's NOT like that."
woojin hurries to ryul's desk (much to ryul's annoyance), stealing the chair from his member. his eyes quickly lock onto the screen as he scrolls through the chat's messages.
"you guys played minecraft? i mean.. get your girl am i right.."
woojin switfly switches over to the minecraft window, which was left open following the call.
"her user's.. milkteaynn," woojin suddenly looks back, a grin on his face as he stares at the drink in ryul's hand. "you're so fucking down bad, holy shit.."
trying to conceal his embarrassment, ryul pulls woojin out of the chair, pushing him towards the door. "this conversation ends right now. i swear to god if you tell ohyul and louis.. i'm telling them you hit up ejeh yesterday."
fighting against ryul's arms, woojin finally puts his hands up in the air, admitting defeat, "okay chill out.. i won't say anything! but i'll always remember how defensive you got over her.. goodnight ryul."
"good night." ryul replies, shutting the door in his member's face as he lets out a deep sigh.
