MADE IN KOREA

MIK 59

High school crush.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into a month as the husbands got busy with their work. Minho with his company's new survival show, along with his shoot for some commercial and Jisung with his exam.

No matter how busy they were, they both have never once failed to at least ask about each other's day, either through a text or voice mail, yet they still felt the urge to see each other, to hug, to sink in each others' comfortable warmth although it at the moment was impossible.

Jisung celebrated his birthday by having a video call with Minho, and the elder was sad with the fact that it was Jisung's first birthday after their marriage, but Jisung assured him that they will get the chance to celebrate next time.

In the end everything was worth it as Jisung finished his exam with confidence -as for him- the questions were simpler than he thought. He had the chance to stay a few more days, however the urge to see Minho was taking a huge toll on him and since it was still a vacation season, flight tickets weren't available for the next three days.

Therefore he booked for the fourth day which according to him was such a luck because the same day the airport tickets were filled.

The following two days, he did some shopping for Soon-young; Chan, Jeongin couple's newborn baby boy. It was such shocking news since Soon-young was born before the due date and his arrival was something the couple didn't expect to be early, but they were happy.

Jisung could still remember an excited Minho calling him at an unexpected time, squealing and fanboying over his newborn nephew. Jisung, however, refused to hang up the video call as he whined about how cute the baby was and the urge to hold the tiny human in his arms made him say that he will be coming back to Korea.

Minho scolded him, reminding him of his purpose and the fact that he will have the chance to carry his nephew after the exam which made Jisung pout.

He chuckled, recalling the events as he entered the Asian cafe, the doorbell jiggling as he opened the door to welcome the cosy atmosphere and the vintage theme it shows off.

He smiled, walking towards the familiar person and tapped his shoulder making them look up from their phone.

"Oh! Jisung," Said Rei, telling Jisung to take a seat which Jisung did. "You didn't get lost, did you?"

"Nope, I didn't." Rei nodded, waving his hands at a waiter. They ordered their drinks and snacks, which -no matter what- was delicious as it was the most known cafe on this side of the street. After placing the order - garlic bread, chips, hot chocolate, creamy coffee- Rei started initiating the talk as he was aware of the fact that Jisung needed a small push to start a conversation.

"How was your exam?"

"Good, how was your work?"

"Tiring." He paused, trying to pull another question. " I heard that you were a vet then why so sudden?"

"Ah, something happened which made me have a plan for shifting here." Said Jisung shrugged his shoulders. Jisung suddenly got a notification which made him take out his phone to check who it was. He smiled looking at the baby pictures of his adorable nephew and he couldn't help but cooe at the human.

Rei stared at the smiling Jisung as awkwardness started consuming. He decided to scroll down through Instagram instead as they both started spending their time on the device instead of creating an actual conversation.

Their individual moment got interrupted as the waiter came back, serving their snacks and drinks. They thanked the waiter and started digging in.

"So," started Jisung, "Are you living here alone?"
