"oh um.. are you sure?" soonyoung asked and jihoon scooted out of his grasp.

"yeah," jihoon replied even though he thought the question was incredibly stupid and soonyoung didn't know what to think.

"i'll be going now." jihoon said as he stood up trying his best to not show how weak he felt and how much his legs wanted to give out.

"n-no jihoon it's late, i didn't mean-"

"im fine! you don't have to pretend to care! i'm fine on my own! i don't know why i even told you," jihoon said as he dropped his head and began stumbling towards the door.

soonyoung wanted to get up and tell jihoon that it was okay and that they could make it work but he was frozen. he watched as jihoon got his stuff and left. he couldn't move a muscle.

after he couldn't hear jihoon's footsteps anymore and his head and heart we're screaming at him soonyoung couldn't take it anymore and stood up. he grabbed his shoes and coat and put them on as he ran. he wasn't going to let jihoon slip out of his fingers. soonyoung wanted to help.

jihoon let his tears fall as he walked. he didn't know where he was or how to get home he was just walking. he found a bench and sat down with his knees pulled to his chest and cried. jihoon didn't know what to expect but anything would have been better than that deafening silence.

"jihoon?" a voice chimed and jihoon looked up to see soonyoung standing in front of him.

he reached to wipe jihoon's tears but jihoon moved his head. soonyoung sighed and sat next to jihoon on the bench. jihoon didn't know what to say or why soonyoung came after him.

"how far along are you?" soonyoung asked and jihoon just scoffed.

"why are you pretending to care-"

"jihoon! i care. i just.. i don't know what to do to help," soonyoung said as he felt his own tears begin to spill. jihoon looked at him with a shocked expression.

"three almost four weeks.." jihoon said as he wiped soonyoung's tears from his cheeks.

"do you have an appointment soon? i wanna go!" soonyoung chimed like an excited child and jihoon was shocked by the boy's sudden emotion change. he was truly a child.

"in a few weeks," jihoon replied and couldn't help but admire soonyoung's smile, it helped him feel less stressed.

"so.. that text.. why did you delete it?" soonyoung asked as he referred to jihoon's late night "im pregnant, you're the dad" text from a night ago.

"because it didn't feel right. none of it feels right. i don't know what to do.. i don't want to do this alone but i have to," jihoon said on the brink of tears again when soonyoung placed his hand on top of jihoon's.

"you're not alone. we're in this together,"
