The day had finally come when I was able to spend time with my best friend Changkyun. We both had been super busy with work and were never able to make our schedules work. So when my meeting got canceled and his dance practice finished early, we both jumped on the opportunity to catch our favorite show, Teen Wolf. The only problem was my boyfriend, Jooheon. He had never really been a jealous person until we moved in together and realised I wouldn’t be spending ALL my time with him. To say he had to adjust was an understatement.
“But I don’t understand, it’s late. I don’t think you should be going to another dude’s house at 7 o clock pm.” He whined behind me as I chose a jacket and shoes.
“Did you really just say 7 o clock pm??”
“That’s not the point! Stay home with me. I’ll watch that show with you.”
I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen to grab my keys, “Jooheon, No. I’ll be back right after the show and we can spend all our time together. And Danny is not just SOME dude. I’ve known him for years.”
I gave him a kiss before he could start again and made my way out of the door. “BYE I LOVE YOU!”
As I was making my way to Changkyun’s house, my phone buzzed. Ugh Jooheon. Go take a nap or something. I answered it immediately regretting my decision, “Yes??”
“Can you bring me back something to eat??”
“If something is open then yes. I will. Is that all??”
Silence.
“Joo Joo??”
“Don’t call me that! You plan on staying that long??”
“Yes. Bye Jooheon.”
I hung up and continued my journey to Changkyun’s house. I didn’t show it but I was really excited. I missed my friend and after the week I had had, it was nice to just be around someone other than my co workers or Jooheon. When I arrived at his apartment, I lucked out and found a spot right next to the stairs. I walked up to his door, knocked, and waited.
“Who is itttttt??” He sang.
“It’s me!” I said smiling.
Sounds of the door unlocking and some shuffling around led to Changkyun opening the door with the hugest grin on his face.
“You made it!”
“I did!” We pulled each other into a big hug. “Hey Danny! I missed you!”
“I missed you too penguin! You came just in time too, there’s ten minutes left before it starts!”
“Great! Getting away from Jooheon took longer than I thought.”
“I bet! What did he have to say about you coming over here??” He said smirking.
I popped him in the arm as we sat on the couch, “The usual. He’s still not used to me having friends.”
He chuckled, “We will have to get together one day. I can’t have you unhappy now can I??”
----
“Stiles is always getting the short end.” Changkyun said as he stuffed his mouth with popcorn.
“He really is though. I just need him and Lydia to kiss forreal.”
“Yeah! Like first..” He was cut off by my phone vibrating multiple times.
“You can get that if you want, it's a commercial.” His face showing obvious signs of amusement mixed with contempt.
I sighed and took a look at my phone screen:
What are you doing??
Its been two hours. Im hungry.
Bring food.
Why aren’t you answering??
....
I sighed and put my phone on silent and returned to eating popcorn.
“So are you in trouble or nah??”
“Nah, he’s just saying stuff to get my attention.”
He shrugged his shoulders and went to the kitchen to grab something to drink.
We finished the rest of the show and got up to say our goodbyes. “Bye Danny, this was fun and so needed.”
He pulled me into a hug, “Love you, Penguin! Text me once you get home.”
I hugged him back tighter, “I will! Love you!” I put my shoes on and headed out the door to my car, checking my phone as I walked. 4 missed calls. Already. OMG Jooheon, I thought in annoyance. Hmph, I’m not calling him back. He will see me when I get home.
When I reached our shared apartment, I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I had hoped he was in the shower or had gotten over it. I had given him ample enough time to cool off. As I unlocked the door, I heard music blasting from the bedroom. I took more deep breaths, telling myself that he only plays music that loud when he wants to be dramatic.
“Jooheon. Please turn that shit down. It’s late.” I said as I walked into the room and took off my shoes and coat.
He gave me the eye, “Oh?? So NOW you care that its late?”
“What??” I said as I looked over my shoulders watching him walk over to where I was.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls and texts?? I was so worried!” He snarled.
“You need to calm down, sir. You know where I was and what I was doing. Don’t start tonight.”
“Do I REALLY know what you were doing though??” He seethed, looking me in the eye and challenging me to react.
Not backing down, I stared back, “Try me if you want Lee Jooheon. This jealously kick you are on is not cute.”
Jooheon licked his lips and eyed me up and down. He actually looked pretty damn sexy with that muscle shirt on and basketball shorts showing an obvious bulge. But of course I wasn’t going to tell him that.
“You hanging out with other guys isn’t cute.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “You know what Jooheon, You can sleep on the couch tonight.” I took his pillow and a blanket and shoved them along with him out of the room.
“Boo Bear..Open the door” I could hear him place his head on the door as he knocked.
Whatever. I changed into my sleep clothes and called Changkyun:
Helloooooo
Kyunnie! I made it home!
Ugh you know I hate that name…
But you love me so…
You rite I guess. I’m glad you made it though! I thought you were dead or something.
I’m rolling my eyes at you.
How did it go?? He says laughing.
It came and left. He pissed me off, trying to come at me.
Oh lord.
I KNOW!
I heard rustling at the door. Had he been there the whole time?? What was he doing??
“Jooheon stop being weird and go to bed.” No answer. I got up and walked over to the door placing my ear over it.
I think he fell asleep by the door, I think I hear snoring??
That’s precious and sad.
Shut up.
Lol. Okay I have an idea. Let’s accidentally run into each other at the mall tomorrow and have lunch. You off right??
Yeah.
Okay let’s do that. Noon is when I have my break, meet me at Salata.
Okey dokey. I love you Kyunnieeeeee.
Ugh...love you too. Night!
Still by the door, I opened it slowly and peered around the living room. As my eyes adjusted to the dark I saw Jooheon laying there on his phone looking miserable. Good. Ass. I closed my door and went to bed praying that this accidental meetup didn’t go left.
