Harudam

Late Night Walk

“I'll buy something outside.” Yedam said, making the others look at him.

“But it's already 3:00 AM?” Hyunsuk said.

“I really need it asap, bye. I'll be back don't worry.” he said as he walk towards the door.

“Wait wait, at least let someone be with you. Who's the tallest here?” Hyunsuk suddenly said before Yedam could even walk off.

“That would be Junghwan, but why don't you just come with him? Aren't you the oldest?” Jihoon said. Hyunsuk was about to reply when Haruto raised his hand.

“I'm the tallest, I don't mind coming with him.” He said and left, only to comeback with a black hoodie and a black mask.

“Let's go, Yedam?” He asked, not minding the others eyeing him.

“Is it alright with you? It's already late, and you're supposed to be sleeping.”

“It's alright, let's go so we can come back before sunrise. Bye guys! We'll be back!” He said. The others waved their hands, the two then finally walked out. On the way out, Yedam keeps asking if it's alright with Haruto to just walk, Haruto only nodded his head.

They're both walking in silent that they can only hear the vehicles.

“umm.”

“Yedam.”

They both said at the same time.

“Oh, you go first.”

“You go first.”

They chuckled as they both talked again at the same time.

“You go first, Haru.” Yedam said, making Haruto cough to stop himself from laughing.

“So, Yedam. Why are you only buying the thing you need at this hour? There's a lot of time on a day.” he said.

“It's actually because the vendor's just staying there at 9:00 pm to 2:00 am, you don't know but I started walking at this hour last week.” He replied. Haruto looked at him.

“Why?”

“Well, you'll see. Oh it's there, let's go!” Yedam excitedly said. Haruto rarely see him that excited.

When they came near at the area he pointed out, they only saw a kariton vendor. Haru think he's selling a porridge.

“You're eating a porridge at this hour?!” he said.

“Yeah, I want to help him because he said he can't meet his family daily because of the porridge he's selling. The vendor said there's always left over, so when I ate here one time, it became a habit.” He said, they're walking now towards the kariton.

Haruto looked around to see if there's someone other than them, and thank goodness because there is. Yedam looked at him, chuckled because he saw how alert Haruto is.

“Don't worry, it's safe. He's a good person.” Yedam whispered at Haruto's ear and sat down the free chair beside him. Haruto didn't expect the whisper, it made his cheek blush like the tomato.

Haruto felt someone's pulling his hoodie, he looked down and found Yedam signaling him to sit. He sat down and was amazed by the porridge. It has different colors. Black, yellow and just white. (It's a champorado, lugaw/porridge,soup)

Yedam leaned at Haruto.

“This is why I want to help him, it's a small amount but at least I can help. Look at how much foods is left.” he whispered again. Haruto looked at him, eyes widening.
