Ch 5

"I honestly hope this movie becomes a hit! I had a ton of fun acting in it!"

Haein lies. Again. Thinking about how much more his dad will pressure him. He hopes he gets casted with Minho in another movie in the future tho. Since Minho made it fun for him. Minho smiles warmly at Haein, sensing the younger boy's discomfort. He's grown to care about Haein deeply over the past few weeks, and he knows how much pressure the younger boy is under.

"I had fun too," he says softly. "And who knows, maybe we'll get to work together again in the future." Its like Minho read Haein's mind. "I honestly hope so!"

Haein smiles softly. It made Minho's heart flutter. He could die happily now. But it was time to say their goodbyes. There was a long silence. Before Haein spoke up.

"Goodbye Minho! Hope to meet you again in the future."

Haein steps into his dad's car. Since his dad came to pick him up.

Minho watches Haein climb into his dad's car, a sense of bittersweetness settling over him. He has grown fond of the younger boy in their time working together, and he can't help but hope that they'll cross paths again in the future.

"Goodbye," he says, waving as Haein's car drives away. "Take care."

Days turn into weeks, and Minho throws himself into another project. He tries to forget about his time with Haein on set, but he can't shake off the feeling that he's left something unfinished. Every day he finds himself thinking about the younger boy, wondering how he's doing and if he's okay.

Finally, he decides to call one of his friends from the set. "Hey, do you have Haein's number?" he asks, hoping for some way to contact him. His friend gives him the number, and Minho dials it, his heart in his throat. He just wants to hear Haein's voice again, to know that he's okay. The phone rings once, then twice, then three times... and just when he thinks it's going to go to voicemail, Haein picks up.

"...hello? Who is this...? Its 2AM...?"

Haein sounds sleepy. Its sorts cute in Minho's opinion. "Hey, it's Minho," he says, a wave of relief washing over him at the sound of Haein's groggy voice. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" "Yeah... you did... But hi Minho! Its been awhile.. How did you get my number tho?"

Haein is still a bit sleepy. But hes happy to talk to Minho again. His favourite co-star. He listens to Minho talk. His voice soft and comforting like always. "I asked one of the crew members for it," Minho explains. "I hope you don't mind."

He can picture Haein lying in bed on the other end of the phone, his eyes half-closed and his hair mussed from sleep. The image is strangely endearing, and he can feel a fluttering feeling in his chest. "I dont mind... but im really close to falling asleep again.."

Haein says yawning. That cute damn yawn of his. It makes Minho feel something. But Haein is oblivious to that. Cuz Haein is a little bit dense.

Minho can't help but smile at the sound of Haein's yawn. "Go back to sleep then," he says, his voice soft and amused. "We can talk more sometime later."

There's a brief moment of silence before Haein's sleepy voice comes through the line again. "Can you stay on the phone with me... until I fall asleep...?".

Haein says in a soft sleepish innocent tone. He has missed Minho. Hes glad Minho asked some staff for his number. If he didnt they may have never talked again.Minho's heart melts at the sound of Haein's sleepy request. The younger boy sounds so vulnerable and adorable that it's almost impossible to say no.

"Of course," he says, his voice equally soft and gentle. "I'll stay on the phone with you until you fall asleep." both Haein and Minho fall asleep on call.. so the call goes on till the morning. Minho woke up to Haein talking softly his sleep. He wonders what Haein was dreaming about. If it was as interesting as sleepy Haein made it sound like.
