Jongdae is too used to sleeping alone in their room, these days. Yixing finds this out the hard way. Loosely based on the duet “Sunrise” from the musical In the Heights, aka the duet that killed all Jongdae fans a few days ago. Non-au, 1.7k words.

Yixing knows all too well what Luhan is doing when he ditches Yixing like this. What he’s doing when he forgets dates and anniversaries. He knows, but he doesn’t want to know. So he closes his eyes. He tells himself that he’s misreading the signs, that there must be something else going on. Luhan loves him. He does. Luhan’s just busy these days, that’s all. Practicing too much, until his voice is hoarse and his legs are weak. That’s all. That's all.

Late-night texts, cryptic Chinese, and a relationship that spans years and oceans. Yixing is in China, Jongdae in Korea, but they'll make things work.
