Past Me was a Fool (2min)

Good night

Han Jisung (Minho's PA)

Good afternoon Jisung-ssi >
Can I have Minho-ssi's schedule? >

< Give me a moment, Seungmin-ssi
< And you do not have to be so formal with me
< Han or Jisung is fine!

Seungmin bit his bottom lip as he thought of how to say that he still has yet to find them familiar for him to drop honorifics, without offending the other. Han Jisung was nothing but kind and friendly to him since Day-1.

That's a relief >
Good day to you too >

Seungmin exhaled in relief, glad to not mess up the conversation, and the comfortable atmosphere that he has with the assistant. Han Jisung had said before, during one of their small talks that the former initiated, that they are the same age. Aside from being in awe of the other for landing a very much stable job in his mid twenties, Seungmin wished to be able to call them friends someday.

As much as he loves his dear best friend, he is aware of the lack of friends that he has around him. Most that he had interacted with were nothing more than acquaintances. Hyunjin had asked him a few times if Seungmin has any other friends, not because he was sick of him, but because he was in disbelief that an amazing person like Seungmin did not have many who appreciates him enough.

"It's their fucking loss, gosh, you're so fucking perfect, I can't believe I got you all for myself!" Hyunjin had shrieked both in judgement and amazement. Seungmin had laughed lightheartedly then because, he does not mind that he only has Hyunjin by his side.

Now, though, being thrown into the harsh reality, Seungmin realised that he should be more open. It might be nice to have a few friends to call to their anniversaries in the future. Yeah, Seungmin did not know when he became such a romantic.

But he knows he is willing to make the most out of this marriage and that starts with comparing their schedules to see when they are free together. He only had the time during a thirty minutes break from his evening class.

"What are you staring at so intensely this late at night, sweetheart?" said a slightly muffled, drawn out voice from his right.

"It's only half past six," he replied nonchalantly and earned a whine saying, "I don't care! I'm so freaking sleepy! And hungry!"

Seungmin sighed inaudibly and turned his phone off to look at his friend who has his arms extending across the table and his chin resting on top of his iPad. He raised an eyebrow, "Did anyone ask you to binge watch your drama instead of, I don't know, sleeping? You had at least half the day to rest, idiot."
