Taeyong pov

Ding Ding
I rub my eyes, getting awake by the sound of my phone. I forgot to turn him off before going to bed.

You have a new message:
1:45PM
From: John'🥑

Where are u? u okay?

I decide to call him to explain, I don't feel like sending texts.

«Hey Tae! Are you okay? Where are you?»
Johnny instantly bombards me with questions.

«I'm at home with Jaehyun...»

«Did something happen?»
Johnny asks, worried.

«Jaemin died this morning.»
I say directly, not in the mood to be subtle.
Johnny says nothing, probably shook, silence on the other end of the phone.

«I'm sorry...How are you two holding up?»

«Honestly, it's hard. We'll miss him...»
I feel like tearing up again.

«Do you want Yuta and me to come over? We could watch a movie and play some games.»
Johnny suggests.

«I think it's good idea, we really need to change our minds a bit.»
I agree.

«Let me get Yuta and we'll be here in twenty minutes.»
Johnny says before hanging up.

I put my phone on the bedside table and sit on the edge of the bed.

«Jaehyun wake up...»
I whisper, trying to wake him up calmly.

Jaehyun looks like a baby when he sleeps. But today, the dry tears on his cheeks and his swollen eyes make his face looks different. He looks so fragile and vulnerable; just like when he came to my house with his open wound. Jaehyun always hide this part of him but I like when he shows it, it reminds me how human he is.
Human like me.

«Sweetie?»
Jaehyun calls me, voice sleepy.

«Yuta and Johnny are coming over.»
I start.
«I think we need our friends by our side.»

Jaehyun nods his head before moving to place it on my lap.
«Thank you.»
He murmurs before sighing of pleasure when I start to caress his face with the tips of my fingers.

After few minutes of caresses, we stand up to go in the kitchen.

«I'll get us two glass of water; do you want to eat something?»
I ask as I take cold water in the fridge.

«I'm one hundred percent sure Yuta's going to come over with four pizzas.»
Jaehyun laughs.

«Four? Is he crazy?»

«He has eyes bigger than stomach.»
Jaehyun mocks gently Yuta, making me laugh too.

«He really looks like a sweet best friend.»
I tell.

«He is. He's really so sweet.»
Jaehyun agrees, smiling.

«Hello guys!»
Johnny yells, already in the living room.
I jumped a bit but then remember he has a spare key.

«You don't have to yell John', we're right here.»
I say as I drag Jaehyun behind me.

«I have four pizzas!»
Yuta exclaims happily.
Jaehyun and I burst in laugher.

«What?»
Yuta demands, confused.

«Jaehyun predicted that you were going to bring four pizzas and he was right!»
I explain, my stomach hurting at how much I laugh.
