"It's Sukiyaki, I'm happy to share this with you. it'll surely warm us up."
Jisung commented. "You wanted Jaemin Hyung off the salad, why not invite him?"
"He already ate, which is salad." Shotaro muttered under his breath.
"You cooked this? It's quite delicious." Jisung spoke while eating the beef.
Shotaro answered in his usual Japanese language like always, but only this time Jisung didn't understand.
Jisung blinks. "What did you say? I didn't get it."
Shotaro looked taken back. He repeated himself, which earned the same response. Shotaro's fork fell looking utterly disbelief.
Jisung forced himself to continue eating hoping he'll understand him later, it broke his heart seeing that sad face on Shotaro.

Four days passed with silence between them, Jisung is starting to think their close friendship might be over.
He missed the letters, their evening dinners and Shotaro himself. Is there a point to staying in their crowded dorm tonight?
Jisung glanced at Shotaro's sleeping backside wondering if he would actually follow him this time, now that they're foreigners to one another again.
He took out his iPad and searched up a Japanese sentence for his friend.
Once, he found it Jisung cleared his throat before speaking slowly. "I should probably go back to my own room."
"No."
Jisung blinks at the command of one simple word. Shotaro's Korean pronunciation is a bit off but he understood it.
He put his iPad away deciding to go to sleep as well.
