3 hours and 20 minutes

mingyu wonders if it was normal to look at someone and feel like your life was falling into place. each puzzle piece, that at first, didn't seem to fit anywhere, finally belonged somewhere and it filled up the empty areas you never knew you had. he wonders if one look at someone's direction could shut down everything around you, the world goes dark, it grows silent, for a moment, and you think about how the person sitting across them was, well, the one. was that possible? within three hours of knowing someone, was it possible to see them as something entirely different from the first moment you saw them?

mingyu thinks about this as he stares at the boy, who was no longer across him but rather, next to him. their arms were so close together. the boy's head, almost leaning on his shoulder. just the slightest touch sent mingyu to the clouds.

and he didn't know why.

none of the boys say a word to one another. they just sit there, their backs leaning against the wall. mingyu is too afraid to hold the other boy, he wants to, but he's scared. he feels like the moment his hands get a hold of the boy's delicate fingers, everything would break. he doesn't  want to ruin the moment and add up to the tension already in the atmosphere. wonwoo sits peacefully right next to him, his tired eyes wandering around once in awhile. mingyu didn't want to disturb his peace by speaking or holding his hand all of a sudden, as much as his heart tells him to, he refuses since the boy seemed like he was enjoying his tranquility.

"im tired." wonwoo yawns making mingyu smile a little. he looks like a child. wonwoo was so small compared to mingyu, he seems so delicate and soft next to him.

"just take a nap then, i'll wake you up when i feel something." mingyu says. wonwoo nods and leans his head back to the wall while he shut his eyes.

mingyu feels creepy just watching wonwoo sleep next to him but it also allowed him to stare at his features more intently without feeling rude. mingyu looks at him fondly and smiles to himself.

mingyu leans his head back as well and imagined having to wake up right next to a tired and sleepy wonwoo next to him every morning. it makes him happy that wonwoo gave him a chance to be able to get to know him outside the four walls of the elevator. mingyu is also glad that he got to ask wonwoo out because he knew if he didn't ask, as soon as the elevator starts working, wonwoo is never going to remember mingyu for who he really was except for the fact that he was the guy he was stuck with when the elevator broke down.

and mingyu couldn't risk the fact that they would both forget each other.

mingyu wants to mean something more to the boy with the beautiful smile and sweater paws.
