"You can't take a leave for today?" Hyunsuk asked. Today is the 24th of December. Well, most companies probably already closed for holiday or maybe just operated for half a day. But not Jihoon. Well, not that the company he's working at didn't take the public holiday, it's just Jihoon who's going to work overtime today, and tomorrow. "Not even half-day?"

"No. I've taken a leave for Thanksgiving. And we already agreed that I'll be the one who'll be in charge of the Christmas event. I'll be in the company for the whole day. I couldn't even join the company's Christmas Eve dinner," Jihoon said. When he recalled it, he never got any leave for Christmas or the day before Christmas. It's because he always takes leave for Thanksgiving. Jihoon was surprised that he never joined the company's Christmas party ever since he joined the company years ago. "I never had a Christmas dinner or party ever since I started working. Since I'll be the one in charge of the events. They pay a lot for this so it's all fine,"

The company Jihoon is working at will hold some event during holidays on the webcomic site and the staff will take turns on who will be in charge for the event for at least 2 days during holidays. For some reason, Jihoon has been in charge of the Christmas event for the holiday ever since he started working for the company. And this year is nothing different as well. When he's still living with Junkyu, Junkyu will just spend his whole day lazing around and doing nothing. Jihoon didn't even have anyone to spend his Christmas with anyway.

"Ah! I'll be late today. You can just cook for yourself or just go out for dinner. I won't eat dinner at home today and tomorrow as well," Jihoon said. He walked back inside his room to take some documents he almost forgot to bring with him. "You're working half day today, right?"

"Yeah," Hyunsuk said. "Should I bring some lunch to your office?"

"Um… No. I don't think they'll let you in because most staff are working half day as well and the security won't let just anyone come in. And if you call me, I might not answer your call because I'll be quite busy with the site and events and things. So, you can just go home. Relax or just go out. Enjoy your Christmas Eve in Seoul for the first time in 10 years," Jihoon said.

"I thought we would spend Christmas together," Hyunsuk pouted. Jihoon chuckled. He ruffled Hyunsuk's hair.

"I haven't spent my Christmas with anyone since I started working. This year as well. I'll be spending my Christmas Eve and Christmas with our company's site to manage the event," Jihoon said. "If we think about it, it's like I'm spending my Christmas with a lot of people, right? By managing the event. Because from past events there will be at least 500 visit to our site every hour because of the event,"

Jihoon walked toward the front door and took out his sneakers. As always, Hyunsuk will stand right behind Jihoon, waiting for him to wear his shoes.

"Take care. Watch where you're walking," Hyunsuk said.

"Yes. Yes. I will," Jihoon said.

"I like you," Hyunsuk said. Jihoon who's facing the front door, still tightening the laces of his sneakers, smiled. Hyunsuk never failed to say that to him every single day. Jihoon was quite impressed at Hyunsuk's dedication. Jihoon stands up after finishing with the laces of his sneakers.

"I know and thank you," Jihoon said while opening the door. "Bye. Take care,"

"You too," Hyunsuk said after Jihoon turned to the front door and opened it. He just smiled hearing Hyunsuk's reply. It has been like that for more than 4 months. They moved in together during the summer and now it's winter already. And Hyunsuk never gives up to keep telling him that he likes Jihoon. Sometimes, he really feels that it's too much. That Hyunsuk likes him a little too much and the fact that the smaller guy hasn't even given up on him. Jihoon did feel bad for Hyunsuk. He knows that it's not a pleasant feeling having to keep showing your feelings to someone that isn't even sure if they'll feel the same. Jihoon already rejected Hyunsuk once but he still tries so hard to make Jihoon fall for him.
