🏡Night

Seonwoo turns on his bed, trying to ignore the urge to pee. What's with his bladder getting full in the middle of his precious sleep?

Seonwoo groaned, opening his eyes in the dark. The only way to sleep peacefully is to finally give in to the urge of peeing. Ugh. Seonwoo stood up from his bed, walking like a zombie rose straight from its graveyard.

The house is silent and dark. Seonwoo didn't bother to open the lights and continued walking out of his room.

He enters the kitchen, but when he was about to turn to his left he noticed a figure standing before the closed fridge.

“Riki?” Seonwoo voiced out.

The figure turned around to face him.

“Riki, is that you?” Seonwoo speaks again.

He felt something moved from behind him. Seonwoo looked to his side, only to find nothing.

And then, the lights turned on.

It was Riki, standing before the light switch, holding a glass of milkshake on one of his hands. He wore his usual boring black suits, and an earpiece on his left ear.

“What are you doing here?” Riki asked.

Seonwoo raises his eyebrows, “Are you going somewhere?”

Seonwoo noticed the flash of worry in Riki's eyes, but it vanished as soon as it appeared.

“Jay-hyung called me to drive him somewhere. I will not be back until tomorrow evening,” Riki says, avoiding eye contact.

Riki turned around, gulping the last of his shake before placing the glass down the table.

“Sunghoon-hyung will drive you to work tomorrow morning,” Riki spoke again, still not facing Seonwoo.

“Sunghoon who?” Seonwoo asked, confuse.

“Sunghoon-hyung, Jay-hyung's family driver,” Riki explained.

Seonwoo nodded his head, not really interested with Riki's substitute to the point that he didn't notice the mistake in Riki's reasonings.

“Okay, take care, Riki,” Seonwoo said before continuing his journey to the bathroom.

When he get out, Riki has already left.

Seonwoo is running late for work, but then he remembered that Mr. Park is with Riki. And didn't Riki said they will not be back until later in the evening?

Seonwoo took his precious time in getting ready. He felt at ease for not hearing the nonstop beeping of the car when he got out the building.

But when Seonwoo entered the car, he received one deadly glare from his driver. This one looked more strict than Riki.

He wore an unreadable expression, eyes fixed on the road. Seonwoo remained silent, scared that he might make the driver real mad.

What surprises Seonwoo, when they reached the company, was the fact that the chairman is currently sitting on his office with a very annoyed look on his face.

“Mr. Park,” Seonwoo greeted the chairman, voice wavering a little.

“Your work's done, you can go home.”

“I'm sorry...” Seonwoo whispered.

Seonwoo turned around with a heavy heart. He was only thirty-minutes late. Last time he was an hour late and the chairman's cool about it.

He have never seen the chairman looked this stressed.

“Seonwoo,”

Seonwoo looked back.

The chairman wasn't looking at him.

“It's fine. Don't mind me, just take all your remaining task and stay home,” the chairman says.

Seonwoo only nodded in understanding.

He was still clueless of the things that's happening around him. Although he could feel that something is not going right, specially with Riki's sudden appearance in their company.

It's already late in the evening when Seonwoo finished a report he was working on the past few days.

His eyes were tired and he's hungry. He's been working all through afternoon that he forgot about the time.

Riki's still not home.

Seonwoo couldn't help but to feel worried. He's been living with Riki for more than a month already, he couldn't deny the fact that he's already attached to Riki's existence.

Seonwoo was an only child, his parents died before Seonwoo entered college. Since then, Seonwoo has been living alone. Riki's the first person he lived with after that.

Just as then, the door opened.

Seonwoo quickly stood up to greet his roommate.

Riki stood before the door, holding take outs on one of his hands. His expression is unreadable, except the tiredness evident in his drooping eyes.

“Dinner,” Riki speaks, voice weak.

Seonwoo took the bag on Riki's hand.

“I'll just change,” Riki then said, already walking away.

Seonwoo just watched as Riki entered his room. He then proceeded to the kitchen to prepare the dinner which Riki brought for them to eat.

Riki emerges from his room just as the right time after Seonwoo finished arranging the table for them.

They both sat facing each other, silence occuring all over the house.

It really amuses Seonwoo as to how silent Riki gets when eating. Even the utensils doesn't produce any sound, as if Riki was trained to be that careful.

Seonwoo noticed how Riki would space out in the middle of eating. He would stare at nothing, eyes flashing different emotions that Seonwoo couldn't read.

Seonwoo wanted to ask why, but he refrained himself. He knew something was bothering Riki and he was not in the right place to ask about it.

He just let him be silent.

“Don't worry about it, I'll take over,” Seonwoo finally speaks when he sees Riki is about to wash his plate.

Riki nodded, “Thanks.”

“I see you're tired, get some sleep,” Seonwoo gave him one reassuring smile.

Riki didn't respond and just walk out from the kitchen.

Seonwoo's smile slowly left his lips while watching the man leaving the kitchen. It made him more worried after seeing how Riki held the plate earlier.

His hands were shaking, but why?
