He drops his phone onto the bed and rubs his eyes.
Lee yongbok (Felix)

Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Sits up and looks around his dark apartment*
The silence feels louder than usual tonight.
Lee yongbok (Felix)

Lee yongbok (Felix)

The city lights glow below.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Lucky b@stards.
His phone lights up with a notification.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"Unfortunately."
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"I think I'd have done that already if I could."
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"I hate you."
Felix smiles despite himself.
The smile disappears a few seconds later.
the apartment feels empty again
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Grabs his jacket from the couch*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
We're not doing this tonight.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Leaves apartment*
Felix walks through the nearly empty streets.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Hands in pockets*
Cold air brushes against his face.
Eventually he reaches the bridge.
The river below reflects hundreds of city lights
Felix leans against the railing.
For the first time all night...
His mind starts to quiet down.

Lee yongbok (Felix)
I'M AWAKE.
He finally turns it off and immediately falls back onto his pillow.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
OH SH¡T.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Jumps out of bed*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Trips over his blanket*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
One day I'm going to win against that blanket.
The blanket remains undefeated.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
By one minute.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
You're annoying.
Minho
And yet you're still here.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Unfortunately.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*ties his apron and starts preparing for the morning rush*
Lee yongbok (Felix)

Lee yongbok (Felix)

The cafe slowly fills with people.
Lee yongbok (Felix)

Lee yongbok (Felix)
Got it!!
Lee yongbok (Felix)

Minho
You're very emotional today.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I'm surviving.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Sits down with a sandwich*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Stares at it*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"Barely."
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"I'm blocking you."
seungmin
"You say that every week."
Lee yongbok (Felix)
"And one day I'll mean it."
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*puts his phone away and finally takes a bite*
Minho
I didn't say anything.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I know that tone.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I have hobbies.
Minho
Sleeping doesn't count.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Then I have no hobbies.

Felix unlocks his apartment door and steps inside.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Finally.
He tosses his keys onto the counter and kicks off his shoes.
The conversation with Minho from earlier still lingers in his mind.
He heads to his room and drops onto his bed.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Please let me sleep tonight.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*closes his eyes*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*grabs his phone*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
One hour.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I got one hour of sleep again urgh for god's sake
He drops his phone back onto the mattress and buries his face in his pillow.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I hate my life.
Five minutes later, he gives up and throws the blanket aside.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*stands up*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*Immediately gets his foot caught in the blanket*
Lee yongbok (Felix)
What the—
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I hate you.
Blanket laying there innocently
The city is quieter than usual.
Most windows are dark.
Most people are asleep.
Felix is not one of them.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
*hands are shoved into his jacket pockets as he walks down the nearly empty street*
The blanket remains undefeated.
His elbow still hurts from where he fell.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Stupid blanket.
The blanket is currently several blocks away and unable to defend itself.
Cold air brushes against his face.
For the first time all night, his head feels a little clearer.
The familiar bridge slowly comes into view.
Felix heads toward his usual spot near the railing.
Then stops
Someone is already there.
Tall.
Dark clothes.
Standing alone near the railing.
Looking down at the water.
That's new.
Felix comes here more often than he'd like to admit.
And yet he's never seen anyone standing here this late.
For a moment he considers turning around.
Then he notices something.
The man hasn't moved once.
Not checking his phone.
Not listening to music.
Not doing anything.
Just staring at the river.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
That's either really deep or really concerning.
Against his better judgment, Felix walks over.
The stranger notices him approaching.
Neither says anything.
Several seconds pass.
The river flows below them.
The wind blows between them.
The stranger glances at him.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Do you think the water is gonna say something to you?
The stranger looks back at the river.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Not much of a talker, huh?
Lee yongbok (Felix)
I haven't even been here a minute.
stranger
Then it's probably not personal.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Somehow that doesn't make me feel better.
The corner of the stranger's mouth twitches slightly.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Was that a smile?
The stranger exhales quietly.
Not quite a laugh.
But close.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
There it is again.
stranger
You're observant.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
You're easy to read.
For a while, neither says anything.
The silence isn't awkward.
Just quiet.
Comfortable, somehow.
Lee yongbok (Felix)
Bad day?
The stranger's eyes stay fixed on the water.
stranger
Something like that.
