you think it’s got something to do with how sad he was this morning?
joong <3:
yeah
i think he’s having a depressive episode
hwa <3:
shit
how long has it been since his last one?
joong <3:
i mean aside from that whole week after jason and yeosang?
god, probably months ago
yunho said he didn't show up to classes today
hwa <3:

sannie:
okay
yeah i’m going over there
i’m just too worried about him
joongie:
yeah me too
it’s so unlike him to barely respond to any messages at all
it’s got to be a depressive episode
i haven't seen it this bad in a long ass while tho
sannie:
thinking something triggered it?
joongie:
can’t say for sure unless he actually talks to us
sannie:
yeah you’re right
hopefully i can get through to him
joongie:
let me know how it goes
or if you need me
sannie:
i will
i love you

San knocks on the dorm door, rocking back and forth kn his feet as he impatiently but patiently waits for an answer. The door opens, and he looks up to see Matt, the roommate looking back at him with a worried smile.
“Hey Nathan.”
“Don’t let him in,” a voice utters, and San feels his heart break at the sound of the broken voice of his boyfriend. He gives Matt a pleading look, the other looking at him for a moment before nodding, and opens the door wider to let him in.
“I’m gonna go grab some dinner. See ya later,” he says as he heads out, leaving the couple alone.
“Dipshit,” Wooyoung mumbles, tugging his blanket over his head.
“Baby,” San walks over to Wooyoung’s bed, sitting on the edge, “what's going on?”
“Nothing.”
“You were sad this morning and you shut us out all day.”
“Didn't want to bother you guys,” he mumbles, words muffled due to his face being smushed in his pillow.
“You would never bother us, sunshine. We all love and care about you so, so much. We hate seeing you in any kind of pain.”
“‘M fine.”
“Woo-”
“I said I’m fine, San!”
San sighed softly. He was used to Wooyoung’s little outbursts whenever he was upset and got too in his head. It was something Wooyoung had been working on, but he still had his slip-ups here and there, just like right now.
“Okay, okay, you’re fine, alright. Can I at least cuddle you? I missed you today.”
Wooyoung stared at San for a moment before nodding. He scoots aside for his boyfriend, allowing the other to lay down under his blanket next to him and pull him close. The dancer snuggled into his chest, the tension in his body slowly easing away with each second that San’s holding him, a small change that has San smiling fondly at the other.
“Wanna see this TikTok Yeosang sent me today?” He pulls out his phone, opening up the app. “God, it had me cracking up for a good hour. He always finds the funniest ones.”
And so the two spent hours scrolling through the platform, Wooyoung mostly silent aside from little responding grunts and hums and soft giggles, and San doing most of the talking and laughing. He didn't mind though, he knew Wooyoung probably needed a distraction more than a conversation at that moment.
But it didn't seem like that conversation was coming any time soon, because shortly after the clock reached ten, Wooyoung was fast asleep, clinging onto San like a lifeline.
Thankfully, Matt was totally fine with San spending the night in their dorm, so San let himself be held, fingers tenderly threading through Wooyoung’s brown strands.
