[It's several hours before Shen Yuan is able to respond. Checking his phone during breaks is one thing, but he can't just abandon his responsibilities mid-shift to make what promises to be a long, awkward call. And he wants to have this conversation over a call, he finds; text is so easy to misunderstand after all, and...if letting the other party hear how fucking awkward he feels over this whole thing will lower the chances of losing a friendship over this whole mess, he'll take it.
So he calls Viktor in the evening, after his shift's over and he's cleaned up. Hopefully he picks up. Hopefully he hasn't already made up his mind to cut Shen Yuan out of his life.]
