Jihoon knows that it's morning already when he feels a soft peck on his cheek. He opens his eyes. Hyunsuk's smiling face greeted his sight. Beautiful. Wait! Jihoon blinked for a few times. What the hell was he thinking just now? Jihoon mentally hitting his own head. It has been his- No. Their daily routine. It's the same face, same expression that he saw every single day. There's no way he suddenly thinks that Hyunsuk is beautiful. He's a dude. It's not like he never thinks that a guy can be beautiful. But those guys are not ordinary people. Those beautiful guys are for the screen. Actors, idols, models. Not just some random guys. Not Hyunsuk.. at least. Jihoon closed back his eyes. Trying to reset his own mind.

"Close your eyes again and I gladly kiss you again," Hyunsuk threatened. Jihoon sighed and opened his eyes. Hyunsuk giggled. "Good morning. I'm still cooking for breakfast. You can go and take a shower first. It will be ready when you're done,"

Jihoon sits on his bed. Hyunsuk walks out from Jihoon's room after he's sure that Jihoon is already wide awake and probably won't continue to sleep in again. Jihoon stares at his foot. He let out a heavy sigh. It has been almost half a year of their cohabitation. It was summer when they just moved in and it's winter already. It has been quite a while since Hyunsuk declared that he will make Jihoon fall for him after he confessed that he liked Jihoon for a long time already. And that he purposely came back to South Korea to see Jihoon again after 10 years.

Jihoon didn't expect that Hyunsuk would be this dedicated. He thought that Hyunsuk might give up after he ignored him many times. But as time passed, Jihoon felt bad to just ignore his housemate after what he had done for him. He feels bad that he couldn't reciprocate Hyunsuk's feeling. Jihoon knows it well that he's still very not ready to be in any romantic relationship yet.

And what did he just feel just now? Did he get swayed by Hyunsuk's efforts all these months? Will he ever try to open his heart for Hyunsuk? Not now. Not yet. There are still a lot in his mind. And Jihoon just doesn't want to get hurt again. Having Hyunsuk kissing his cheek to wake him up every morning is not unpleasant anymore. He already got used to it. About kissing. He noticed that Hyunsuk hadn't initiated kissing him on his lips again. The last time their lips ever touched was on Christmas night, when Jihoon gives Hyunsuk his 'Christmas gift'.

It's not like Jihoon is desperate, wanting Hyunsuk to kiss him on his lips. Not at all. Hyunsuk himself said that he will only kiss Jihoon on his lips on special occasions only. But it is kind of weird when the shorter guy has been stealing kisses on his lips before he even confessed but after that he is trying hard not to. Probably it's his strategy? Who knows. After he finished, Jihoon went to the dining table. Usually Jihoon tries to help Hyunsuk prepare the breakfast and Hyunsuk will always force him to get ready first. And Jihoon will try to get ready as fast as he can to make sure he can help Hyunsuk with the breakfast. But today, Jihoon doesn't really feel like it.

Jihoon slept late yesterday because of his work and because he has been watching some anime after done with his work. His body feels a little tired. Jihoon thought that he would try to buy them dinner tonight.

"Seems like you didn't sleep well last night," Hyunsuk said. Hyunsuk as always will only have a cup of coffee while waiting for Jihoon to have his breakfast. Jihoon just hummed while eating. "Anime again?"

Jihoon nodded weakly. He keeps on yawning once a while. He keeps on eating his breakfast slowly and steadily.

"Is it interesting? Want to share about it?" Hyunsuk asked.

"I feel like if I start to tell you, it won't end in 30 minutes and I'll definitely be late for work and haven't even finished my breakfast," Jihoon said. Hyunsuk's expression turned a little dark while he kept trying to keep his smile on. It's not like Jihoon didn't want to share about his hobby with Hyunsuk. He genuinely didn't have much energy to do so. And he feels like if he starts, he won't be able to stop. Jihoon doesn't know if Hyunsuk will actually enjoy what he'll be telling too. But seeing Hyunsuk's expression, it made Jihoon feel bad. "I'll tell you during dinner. We can eat out today. My treat,"
