It had took quite some time to get there in the first place, most of the time in the van was spent consoling his manager that he wasn’t going to end up in the facility himself after getting dropped off. Afterall, his manager had been the one that agreed to let him have Minchan stay with him in his home. Jae never let him forget that. It helped in moment’s like these. Though he had to admit, he was a little worried that he’d been followed. So he made sure to get dropped off a little ways away, not that there really was much in either direction anyway but it would have been useful for him to walk to be able to notice these things before he actally made it there. By the time he reached the prison he’d determined that no... he was fine, no one had followed him. Or so he hoped, but he checked in to make sure they knew he was there and then went to wait outside considering apparently Minchan still had quite a few paapers to get through before getting released, He waited by a rail on the side of the jail. Ever minute feeling longer than the last as he waited quietly. So many things had happened lately. He was glad that he’d be able to see Minchan again, gain some stability back in his life.
But the last thing he’d expected was to be surprised when the older boy came out of the facility looking around so casually as if nothing had happened. He just stared at Minchan for a moment, as if not really believing that this was happening to him. Was his friend really free? Had that really just happened? Or was he hallucinating this? Jae stood up slowly. But he ran over and wrapped his arms around Minchan’s neck rather quickly, burring his face in his friends shoulder and keeping him close in a strange half-protective, half-vonlurable hug. It was really nothing that he could say to express how he felt at that moment, he was just glad that he could have this again. Have his friend again, hod him like this. Keep him close. God he’d missed him.
He pulled away just a little bit and looked up at Minchan quietly, keeping himself a breath’s length away so he could hold him again as soon as he finished speaking. “Don’t you dare ever get caught again.”
