y/n: "Hello?"

soobin: "Hey. Are you home?"

y/n: "Yeah but I can't leave the apartment right now. My mom is home. Sorry."

soobin: "No, that's okay. You don't need to come out. Is everyone else asleep?"

y/n: "Mhm. Mom and Dad both go to bed before 10."

soobin: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

y/n: "Just thinking. Don't you hate how you start thinking about everything before you go to bed?"

soobin: "It really does suck. So... can I give you a distraction?"

y/n: "Is this your smooth way of asking for help on your homework?"

soobin: (laughs) "No. Look out your window."

y/n: "What? Why?"

soobin: "Just look."

y/n: (gasps) "Soobin." (whispers) "What are you doing out there?"

soobin: "Kai's mom wanted me to give you popcorn chicken."

y/n: "Come down from there. You're gonna break a leg."

soobin: (hops down)

y/n: (opens window)

soobin: "Here."

y/n: "Thank you."

(silence)

soobin: "You okay?"

y/n: "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

soobin: "I don't know. You just look like you've got a lot on your mind."

y/n: "It's okay. I can take care of myself."

soobin: "I know you can. But you know that I'm here too, right? If you need to unload, you can. I won't even give advice, if you want, you can just let it out."

y/n: (sighs) "I wouldn't even really know where to start."

soobin: "Wherever you want to."

y/n: "I worry about how I can grow here when my mom is... too much."

soobin: "What do you mean?"

y/n: "She doesn't want me to go out. Ever. Dad said she's worried but I don't know if it's that."

soobin: "What do you think it is?"

y/n: "I think she's ashamed of me. Of everything I've done. So she wants to contain me before I do something that makes it worse."

soobin: "Having a bad ex-boyfriend isn't your fault."

y/n: "But isn't it? I chose to date him. I should have seen what kind of person he really was. Goes to show what shitty taste I have in guys."

soobin: "That's not true."

y/n: "Maybe I should just hole myself up here. Maybe I should never date anyone ever again."

soobin: "Look... just because you dated someone who wasn't that great of a person, doesn't make you a bad person, too. You're more than who you date."

y/n: "How do you know that?"

soobin: "I just do. And you don't have to believe it now, so I'll believe it for you."

y/n: "God, you're gonna make me cry and tomorrow I'm gonna have puffy eyes at school."

soobin: "Don't cry. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--"

y/n: "No, no, it's nothing you said. I just... is it so wrong to want to be happy?"

soobin: "No. You deserve to be happy."

y/n: "Thanks."

soobin: "It's going to be okay. It really will."

y/n: (nods) "I'm glad you moved here, Soobin."

soobin: "Me too." 

y/n: (sighs) "Do you think it's a weird thing to eat popcorn chicken past 10 p.m.?"

soobin: "Not at all." (clears throat) "Can I have one?"

y/n: "No."

soobin: (jaw drops)

y/n: (smiles) "You can have two."

soobin: "How about three?"

y/n: "Don't push it, it's still my chicken."
