Chapter 27

One year later:

Lee Know glanced at his watch as he left the house. He decided that he would add something different to his day than usual by stopping to eat out at a restaurant other than his own. He arrived at the place he had in mind, sitting down at a table and waiting to be attended. He was looking down at his phone when he saw shiny black shoes beside him and looked up, nearly losing his breath.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?" Seungmin said, brushing his bangs out of his face. He didn't even look at Minho yet, since he was playing around with the pen and clipboard in his hands.

"How about a tomato risotto?" Minho said, remembering the dish they cooked together, trying to get Seungmin to look at him.

Seungmin finally looked down at the older and became a bit surprised. "Alright, is that all?" He said, trying not to panic as much as possible. He can't hurt you anymore, he can't hurt you anymore.

"Can I have hennessy rum?" Minho was now just playing with Seungmins emotions. "What's wrong? I'll show you my ID." He pulled out his wallet, taking out his credentials.

Seungmin sighed, writing everything down. "Thank you, is that finally all?" He asked, his grip on the pen now tightening.

"Hm, let me think." Lee Know sighed as well, taking his 'time' on thinking about what else he would like. After about ten minutes of him just sitting in silence he finally came up with an answer. "Nope, I think that'll be all." He smiled. "Thanks though."

"Your order will be here soon, thanks." Seungmin bit his lip, trying to keep his composure and walked away. Soon returning with the things he ordered, placing them down. "Alright here you go." He said, forcing a smile.

"Thank you~" Minho cooed, taking a fork and eating his dish. "Yum, I think I should come here more often." He said, trying to hold in his laughter.

Seungmin glared at Lee Know quickly before talking to his co-worker, happily ignoring the older. He came back after he saw that Minho was finished with the bill. "Here's the amount you need to pay." He placed the piece of paper in front of the older, waiting for a response.

"I'd like to pay with my card, I didn't bring cash with me today." Minho said.

Seungmin nodded, bringing back a card scanner, holding it in front of Lee Know. "Okay, I'm back." He said, still waiting.

Lee Know took out his debit card then swiped it into the machine after tapping his number in, waiting for a response. He got an idea and clicked an extra button when putting his credentials in, making the small rectangular screen read: card declined. "Oops I must not have any money in my bank account," He sighed then stood up, facing Seungmin. "Maybe I could pay you another way?" Minho leaned in, whispering into Seungmins ear, his hands in his pockets.

Seungmin sighed. "Really?" Seungmin was unamused, backing up from Lee Know a bit.

"You're no fun anymore." Minho backed up, then took out his wallet, handing Seungmin a one hundred dollar bill. "Keep the change and consider it a tip." He rolled his eyes, walking out of the place.

Seungmin smiled at himself and put the money into a cash register, then closed up the place. "That was tough keeping a straight face." He said. "But I did it, so good job Seungmin!" He said to himself in the mirror, fixing his hair.

"Come on stop being dry, you're not even going to greet me with a small kiss on the cheek." Minho pointed to his upper jaw. "I'm waiting." He said, tapping his foot impatiently.

Seungmin turned around, still shocked that Lee Know was still there. "Um..." he said, doing what the older requested quickly before backing away. "Why are you acting as if last year didn't happen?" He asked, crossing his arms.

"Simple, you're fun to mess with." Minho replied. "Obviously you're still interested in me, I can see it." He said. "But I did it, so good job Seungmin." Minho mocked. "Please, stop lying to yourself."

Seungmin was getting slightly annoyed and wanted to get this over with. "I don't want to be heart broken again, thanks." He said, pushing past Lee Know to his car outside the restaurant.

Minho sped his way up to the driver side door, standing in front of it. "You think I came here to confess my love to you? You're overly confident. Like I said, I just want to mess with your head." He poked Seungmin in the chest.

"You haven't done that enough already? I want to go home, so excuse me." Seungmin said, pushing the older to the side and getting in the car.

Minho sighed, shaking his head. "Tsk tsk, you never learn." He found his way inside, sitting in the back, middle row seat. "What are you making for dinner today?" He asked, putting his seatbelt on.

"Why would you need to know?" Seungmin said, starting the car.

"Shouldn't the guest know what he's going to be having? What if I have allergies? I could stop breathing you know." Lee Know looked out the window, watching the cars on the road outside of the parking lot pass by.

"What do you want for dinner then?" Seungmin grinned, now starting to play along since he had nothing else to do. He drove the car, almost reaching his home as he listened.

Minho waited before answering. "You." He replied simply, making eye contact with Seungmin in the rearview mirror.

Seungmin stopped the car at his house and unbuckled himself turning around in the car to face Lee Know. "Really now?" He said.

Surprised that Seungmin had agreed he was actually stunned. "Yes...?" He sounded more confused now then he was sure of his answer.

"Alright, we'll see if you actually meant it." Seungmin said, stepping out of his car, then entering his house.

Minho followed Seungmin inside looking around the place and noticing changes in some of the furniture and placements. "Can I see your phone for a second?" He asked.

Seungmin stuck his hand into his pocket and threw it onto the couch beside Lee Know. "I'm going to change, the password is 8563." He said, walking into his room.

"You dry ass-" Minho whispered, then held his breath, trying not to lose his temper. He put in the numbers and immediately went to contacts to see if Seungmin had been seeing anyone since he was gone. "He sure has more people in here." Minho clicked on the profile picture of a decent looking guy, revealing lovey dovey texts. Lee Know furrowed his eyebrows, not pleased with the situation.
