And the next day arrived, Jihoon skipped his way towards his shop and waited the whole day for 'Choi Hyunsuk' to visit his shop.

Every time someone came he would expect it to be the young man but no the Young man only arrived when it's exactly 6:00pm. The man came today wearing a brown cardigan, with black Overcoat and brown pants. He looked small and adorable yet again in Jihoon's eyes. Jihoon blinked before he realized he was just staring at the man again and did not even approach him. Jihoon walked fast towards the man who now settled to read the book he was reading yesterday. "Hii-" Jihoon approached awkwardly. "Tea?" The man was already looking up to Jihoon, he was always so quiet that Jihoon was even afraid to talk to him. What if Jihoon just annoyed him?

The man after staring for a while looked away and nods. Jihoon nods and smiled. The man is cute even if he does not speak that much.

Jihoon went straight to the counter to make some tea for himself and for Hyunsuk. After done he sets the cup infront of Hyunsuk and went to find a book to read for himself. He settled next to Hyunsuk and opens his book. Hyunsuk glanced up at him and then his book before he continued reading his book again.

"Do you always wear such long coats?" Jihoon asked, eyes still fixed on the smaller male.

"Yes" Hyunsuk answered without even looking up at Jihoon. But the taller male doesn't minds as long as Hyunsuk is listening, it's good. He smiled and continued

"You know, I can never wear those cuz they are just so uncomfortable! I remove them as soon as I enter the house! But I understand this Town is a little colder then cities because it's a hilly area you see! But it's a very beautiful place. You should visit some of the most beautiful places here. And you know what? I have lived here for my whole life and so I know every single place! So if in future you want to look around tell me ok!?" The smaller finally looked up and nods, and continue reading. Jihoon was basically blushing after their eyes met.

But he was such a good listener in Jihoon's eyes! Jihoon can talk to this man all day, all night and never get bored. Jihoon chattered for a bit more before someone entered the bookstore and Jihoon had to do his job.

Hyunsuk stared at Jihoon's back for a while once the man got up from his place wondering how can someone speak this much even after getting no reply? He shook his head and continued reading.

Jihoon looked back and smiled fondly when he saw the shorter male reading his book.

He is adorable!

"You're drooling!" Jihoon immediately closed his mouth and wiped his lips and chin.

"What are you talking about!" He exclaimed and turned his face to the other side. Jihoon was currently at Junkyu's place. It was 8pm and Jihoon can not think about any single thing other then the fragile boy: Choi Hyunsuk.

"You know Junkyu~ he is Suchhhhhh a good Listener! Like Such. A good listener. I talked to him alot today, and you know he kept sitting and listening! He is so cute~!" Jihoon rolled on the bed, flapping his feet. "I can't handle him really!" Junkyu yawns.

"Sure~ he looked like he was a good listener" Junkyu agreed while still scrolling on phone.

What if he is so quiet that even if he was annoyed but he can't stop Jihoon cuz Ik how much he talks - Junkyu rolled his eyes after the thoughts of his best friend annoying the newly arrived man came in his mind.

"Junkyu! You don't understand! He is just so– Ughhhh!! So cute!!" Junkyu huffed and side kicked Jihoon who was laying beside him.

"Shut up Park Jihoon. Are you gay?"

Jihoon glanced up at Junkyu with a pout and thought for a while.
"I just said he is cute! I never said I wanted to date him-" Jihoon buried his face in the pillow and now his brain clouded with the question.

Why was he simping over a guy?
He had dated girls before but mans?
No, never.
Then why now?
Was he Bi?
He didn't knew...

"What about your Mashiho?" Jihoon countered back when his brain loaded that he should have fought back instead of accepting his defeat.

"We were batch mates in college and after that I came back here and he is still in seoul. What about him?" Junkyu asked with his usual uninterested tone.

But Jihoon knew Junkyu better then this. "I know you liked him! Don't lie!"

Junkyu sighs. "We do talk sometimes." Junkyu sounded low almost as if he had something to say but he can't continue.

"And?"

"And—... he just, might be dating someone I guess." Jihoon's eyes widened.

"Dating?? Who??" Junkyu sighs again and after a few seconds showed Jihoon pictures of the male in talk with another male who looked slim, cute and tall? "Who is he?"

"Mashiho's boyfriend" Jihoon glanced up from the phone to see Junkyu's dark expression.

"Why you never told me...?" Jihoon asked now toning down his usual voice. Loud voice to be exact.

"I wasn't so sure but maybe now I am." Jihoon nods. He took out his phone and start searching for Hyunsuk's Instagram account.

Does he even have one?? Jihoon will definitely ask him tomorrow.

"So you do like him?" Jihoon looked up at Junkyu smirking again.

"What do you mean?" Jihoon asked confused.

"You countered back with my crush so I assumed he is also your crush??" Jihoon pushed Junkyu with one hand and let out a groan when his friend started laughing.

"Stop it!!" He whined.

"I knew it from day one! Omg- bwahahahaha" Junkyu laughed harder when he saw Jihoon's face is now red and the angry bird is now glaring at him with his usual death glare.

"You are dead Kim Junkyu!" That was the cue and they started having a fight. (Not so harshly?) Just playing around and trying to stop the tease from both the parties.

It was definitely not confirmed in Jihoon's head if he liked the new comer or not but he was just in aww every time he saw that young man.

He wished to make the man smile, enjoy and just be with him for longer. To get to know him more and more.
