✿ five times my muse almost texted yours, and the one time they did
( &.ORIGIN, not accepting! @lcqacy )
i. There’s nothing wrong with roommates texting one another on a frequent basis. Chanhyun’s very insistent that she needs to check up on the younger girl, because there’s this terrible protectiveness that overcomes her when anyone so much as says Deullae’s name. And she doesn’t know where it came from, but it exists and that’s probably the one problem.
Every time Deullae goes out, she has this urge to act like her mother and make sure that she’s safe and sound. It’s not only because she’s worried about losing the best roommate in the world: it’s for a million reasons that are about as crazy as the monster under your bed idea.
She has her cell phone in her hands and she’s so close to texting Deullae and asking her where she is.
“Chanhyun, leave her alone for a night, will you?” she hears her friend saying and the twenty-five year old girl rolled her eyes, dropping her phone.
ii. She’s not always a crazy fanatic about her roommate------though, she’d chew off anyone’s head who dared to call her that. Sometimes, she forgets that Deullae’s home alone for a bit.
She can’t, for the life of her, remember what’s still in stock in their fridge. And she probably looks insane standing in front of the fridge and aggressively debating whether or not she needed to open the door and grab a jug of milk. Perhaps, she should text her roommate and ask her to check the fridge? But, no. She’d just left the house and told her roommate that she had everything under control and wrote out a grocery list.
Chanhyun might have a photographic memory, but recalling the contents of a fridge which she happened to see every single day was a little different (because she doesn’t know the chronological order of the images in her head).
Her phone buzzes and she looks down at the device------it’s a text from Deullae telling her to buy more milk.
Saves her a text and the stress. She shoved the device back into her pocket and moves to open the store’s fridge.
iii. Sometimes, she’s drunk out of her mind when she wants to text her roommate and everyone within miles of Park Chanhyun knows that it’s a very bad idea to put her cellphone in her possession after she’s had more than two drinks. She’s complaining about wanting her phone back to shoot her beloved roommate a message, but the device is far out of her grasp and her sister is so annoyed at her for whining.
“I swear you text her more than you text me,” Chaeyeon chided and Chanhyun pouted.
She doesn’t say anymore about the topic.
iv. The things that Chanhyun says to Deullae are either very supportive and loving, or downright strange and there’s no inbetween. The third time she intends to text her roommate she totally forgets about asking her to check the stove before heading to bed, because she doesn’t remember if she forgot about it, when she trips over her own feet and scrambles to straighten herself out.
She hopes that Deullae doesn’t need the reminder to check and doesn’t burn their flat to the ground, because she’s bound to forget after she flees the scene.
v. She thinks better about it on the one day where she considers texting Deullae and asking her to watch Poof for the day, because she wasn’t going to be home until much later. But, she doesn’t know her roommate’s plans so she just drops her puppy off at her sister’s place.
vi. Out of everything that she can say, the one time she actually does text Deullae, it’s the stupidest thing in the entire universe.
