It was already Monday again, to the misfortune of the couple.

Jake grabbed his phone which dialed nine in the morning, he was running late. Again.

- "shit!" Jake jumped to his feet scaring Sunghoon.

- "Jakey, what's up?"

- "I'm running late, that's what happens.."

- "I can take you, a minute or so does not matter."

- "Of course it is important Sunghoon, they are going to fire me. What fucking money am I going to pay the rent with if not? Your father pays you everything, it's obvious." Jake spoke as he pulled on his pants.

- "sorry.."

- "Bye, Sunghoon." Jake approached his boyfriend and kissed him on the cheek to grab his backpack and leave the apartment.

Jake ran blocks and blocks until he reached the cafe. Where his boss waited for him angrily.

- "Shit, Jake, the boss is really mad at you. You should start praying that you don't get fired." Heeseung grabbed Jake's arm before reaching where his boss was.

Jake sighed and approached his boss, who already knew who he was so he didn't even look up from the papers he was signing.

- "Shim Jake."

- "Mister."

- "Third time you are late, I can no longer forgive you."

- "I'm sorry sir. If you want I can stay until the night shift, no problem. Just ... don't fire me."

- "Do you stay for a week until the night shift?" The man arched his brow and Jake nodded, swallowing his saliva hard.

- "No problem."

- "This is the last time, Shim." Jake returned to where Heeseung was and sighed.

- "What condition did he put on you now?" Heeseung asked with his arms crossed.

- "I must stay here until nightfall. For a whole week."

- "Wow, that's too much. But you deserve it, you were late for days"

- "You're right, the alarm is not working."

- "Or is it your big night with Sunghoon that doesn't allow you to wake up later?" Heeseung raised an eyebrow and then laughed.

- "¡shut up!"

Heeseung started laughing out loud and Jake just started doing his job, that would be a long day.

[🖇]

Sunghoon was worried about Jake, his schedule must have ended at seven in the afternoon, and it was nine o'clock at night.

So he decided to go to the cafe.

She saw Heeseung carrying some dishes into the kitchen, so she ran over to him to ask about Jake.

- "Sunghoon..is something wrong?"

- "Is Jake here?"

- "he is in the kitchen, today she has to stay until the night."

- "Oh well, thanks." Sunghoon headed to the kitchen to find Jake washing some dishes.

- "Sunghoon, are you okay?" Jake asked when he saw him there.

- "you didn't tell me you were staying late .."

- "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to take my cell phone."

- "when are you going to finish?"

- "I have to wash these last dishes and that's it."

- "Well ... I'll wait for you outside." Sunghoon lowered his head and went to sit at a table.

- "Did something happen with Sunghoon?" Heeseung spoke behind Jake.

- "I don't know ... today I told him that his father always pays him for everything in a kind of bad tone so to speak ... and maybe he felt bad"

- "Nobody likes being told that, Jake."

- "I know ... I was a little upset, I was about to lose my job."

- "It's understandable, but you shouldn't get mad at Sunghoon."

- "I know ... but now I have to go, we'll talk later". Jake hugged Heeseung and left the kitchen

-"Let's go?"

- "okay.."

All the way to Jake's apartment everything was awkward, their hands had collided several times. As if they wanted to get together, but couldn't.

- "sorry." Jake broke the silence that lay on the couple.

- "because?"

- "Everything I said today ... was not very good, I should not have said that."

- "Jake, okay .. I also said things without thinking. I'm sorry too." Sunghoon hugged Jake.

After that, they walked normally, Jake was held by Sunghoon's shoulder. He felt so good there.
