song of the chapter: feel good inc. by gorillaz

Jaehyuk waited for asahi in the lobby of his dorm building where he said he would pick him up. People him passed by in the lobby, none of them were Asahi. He checked his watch from time to time and tapped his index finger on his knee as he constantly looked around for any sign of him . Not like he was late, Jaehyuk just expected to be picked up earlier.

More people passed by, some rushing out. Some running out the door in their sports gear and getting yelled at by the lady in the reception. Some were walking in, throwing their balls up in the air and catching them. Still. None of them were Asahi. The receptionist would look up at him in astonishment sometimes, on why he was still sitting there .

"You waiting for someone?" She asked when her curiosity beat her. He looked up at her in surprise and hesitantly smiled.

"Uh...yeah." He said.

"Is it a date?" She asked and looked back down at her desk.

"No no. Um..it's a friend." He said with a hesitant chuckle. He didn't even know if it was appropriate to call Asahi a friend. They didn't even know each other that well to be considered friend. But what would he tell her. That it was someone that hates him who also awkwardly asked him to hang out the other day? Even he got confused replaying that sentence in his head.

"They keeping you waiting huh?" She said and shook her head as she put on her glasses and started to write on some papers.

"Not really ." He said.

"I'm just here early."

"People will think you got stood up." She told him as-a-matter-of-factly with her brows raised. After contemplating what he should say next in his head, he decided to not say anything. What would someone even say when they get told that?

The dorm building door opened, letting in a gush of warm breeze into the building. He turned his head to see Asahi looking around and walking up to him when he found him. Jaehyuk stood up and looked at him.

"What? Was I late or something?" He asked when he found Jaehyuk sitting there looking like he was frustrated .

"No, you weren't." Jaehyuk answered him quickly .

"He was waiting here for a long time." The lady at the reception said. Jaehyuk always knew that lady had too much to say. He took a deep breath in and shut his eyes in embarrassment.
