At 2 AM, Wonwoo’s phone rang. He knew he shouldn’t pick up. He knew it would only make things worse.

But it was Mingyu. And he always answered when it was Mingyu.

“Hey.” Mingyu’s voice was hoarse. “I shouldn’t have called, but… I just needed to hear you.”

Wonwoo sighed. “Go to sleep, Mingyu.”

“Tell me to let go, and I will.”

Silence.

Wonwoo hung up. Because he couldn’t.
