* ❛ SECOND HEARTBEAT ,
"HEY, TZUYU,” his head is rested on her lap, lithe fingers supporting the weight of his phone over his face. “listen to what frank ocean posted on tumblr: ‘i had the time of my life making all this. thank you all. especially those of you who never let me forget i had to finish. which is basically every one of y’all. haha. love you.’” a smile spreads across his cheeks, fingers lowering his phone to meet tzuyu’s eyes. “can you believe him? i love him. he’s precious.”
the phone is raised back over his face, and he’s silent again, busy switching back and forth between the bbc news and and snapchat and tumblr apps on his phone.
then it hits him.
jongin raises his head off her lap and swivels around on the couch to face her. there hadn’t been much dialogue or even noise in the room since she’d arrived, save for the sound of pencil running across paper and sometimes even his soft laughter (curse you, stupid vines!). figures he should pay attention to her now. she was his girlfriend—uh, sort of. not really, lately anyway. this was their first meeting in quite a while. and they weren’t even talking.
“what are you working on?” he rests his chin on her shoulder. baby.
