I Found Him

"Hi," says Seonghwa, which makes Hongjoong turn towards him. A long sigh leaves his mouth when their eyes meet.

"It's him. It's definitely him. I found him," thinks Seonghwa, a big smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Hoongjoong stares at him, confused.

"Why does he look so familiar?" thinks Hongjoong.

"Umm, hi?" says Hongjoong finally, confusion clear on his face.

It breaks Seonghwa's happy bubble. His excitement got the best of him. He forgot that he was wearing a mask that day. Hongjoong never saw his face.

"Hey. I think my friend here got the wrong person. We should go. I apologize on his behalf," Yunho interrupts suddenly, almost dragging Seonghwa.

"No, wait," Seonghwa resists strongly. He pulls out his mask and puts it on immediately, hoping Hongjoong recognizes his face.

Hongjoong's expressions change immediately. A shy smile covers his face. "I think I do know you," says Hongjoong. His words make Seonghwa go red. Meanwhile, Yunho stands there, completely dumbfounded.

However, Hongjoong's smile fades away, and he steps back, moving away from Seonghwa and Yunho. Before Seonghwa can resist, Hongjoong starts to run out of the cafe.

"What the hell is happening? I want to go home. Why does everyone keep blushing?" Yunho mutters to himself.

"I'm not letting him run away again," screams Seonghwa as he starts to run after Hongjoong. Yunho follows the two.

"How does he know my name? Did he report me for stealing? It was just food. What type of psycho is he?" Hongjoong runs away with his head filled with thoughts.

"Hongjoong, please wait," he hears Seonghwa scream while running behind him. He keeps running away. He can't trust a stranger who not only caught him stealing but also knows his name.

"Wait, Hongjoong, I want to talk," Seonghwa screams again.

"It was just food. Please let me go," Hongjoong screams, his legs never stop.

"I know. I promise I won't report you. I want to be friends," screams back Seonghwa. Hongjoong finally stops running, but Seonghwa doesn't. Hongjoong turns, only for Seonghwa to bump into him and make him fall with him.

They lie on the floor, staring at each other and panting hard from running for too long.

Hongjoong can't help but observe the other closely. It is the first time he gets to look at the other without a mask. He looks so pretty and innocent. Their eyes meet, making Hongjoong's face turn a light shade of pink.

"I want to talk, nothing else. I promise I won't hurt you," says Seonghwa, panting heavily from the long-running session. Hongjoong nods, indicating that he understands.

"I would also like to get up now. I don't intend to stay all day here," says Hongjoong, making Seonghwa laugh. As they get up, Hongjoong looks at Yunho standing back at a distance.

"So, he distracted Mingi. He won't be disappointed," thinks Hongjoong, a slight smirk on his face.

"He's my friend. Can we sit somewhere and talk?" says Seonghwa.

"Let's go back to the same cafe. My friend works there," says Hongjoong.

The two boys follow him as he enters the cafe and takes a table. He

The three boys sit there awkwardly, staring at each other. Seonghwa becomes visibly nervous.

"Seonghwa, are you gonna speak or not?" Yunho whispers in Seonghwa's ears.
