Yongbok's P.O.V:

After half an hour of ride with me and hyung throwing back and forth of simple questions and answers, we've finally arrived back home. I've shared enough information about myself. Just a general fact like what's my favorite color, food, artist, things like this and that.

Oh, and we made sure to full tank this car, by the way. Hyunjin hyung was secretly happy about it tho. He never mentioned he was but...I know he does.

Hyung opened his trunk and carried two plastic bags. I was surprised he actually chose the bags that are the heaviest.

"Hyung, you sure you can carry those?" It's not like I'm belittling my landlord's capabilities but, I've seen once from the internet that his cancer causes uncontrollable weakness to the body. And I know for a fact that i've witnessed some episodes of hyung suddenly losing his strength out of nowhere, tripping on the floor or if not, all the way falling down. I'm only concerned, that's all.

"I can. I'm not fragile. I still can use my muscles even with my cancer lingering." He made sure of it as he confidently lifted the bags like it weighs nothing.

"If you say so." I took another two plastic bags as well and carried it all the way to the kitchen alongside with hyung. Putting it down to the island counter and looking all over the empty kitchen, it put a wide smile in my face knowing that this place will be filled with something in it again. It's not as lonely as it looks before.

And I can finally use it to cook foods and dishes for my hyung. Anything he wants.

Hyung started taking out all the products inside the bag, initiating to put them in his pantries and other storages. I voluntarily lend a hand, not wanting to exhaust hyung with all the work by himself.

"In this section, you can place the chips and other snacks. Under that, you can place your condiments, whatever. I'll just prepare the fridge." He guided me before heading back to unwrap another plastic bag, taking out cans of sodas and other beverages to place inside the cool refrigerator.

"You don't want my help there?" I asked.

"Finish your task there then help me here if I still need one."

"Alright." As fast as I can, I carefully and orderly placed the bottles of condiments together to make them look neat as possible. Afterwards, I took the chocolate bars and other snacks that's needed to be store inside the fridge and placed them in one of the racks.

And the most special of them all.....tubs and bars of ice cream~~~

"I can't believe I was able to buy lots of ice cream in my whole life." My voice speaking dreamily, opening the freezer to store in tub after tub and squeezed some melona bars as I can.

"It's not as boring as it was in this house anymore, thanks to these ice creams. Jesus, I feel like in heaven." I heard hyung whispered behind me, tone having a simple yet sincere pleasure in it, knowing his eyes are also fixated towards the in-order ice cream tubs.

Having his presence behind me while we look at the fridge with contented smiles on our lips makes me want to imagine him wrapping his arms around me while we admire the great things we have in life. All the great blessings we've got and wonderful things we've acquired.

God, this brain is working really hard being delusional.

"Don't stand there too much, Yongbok. Close the door or we'll get crazy electric bill — that speaking of which, we gotta pay for later." My landlord gave me a reminder. I stood back from the fridge and gently closed it, already missing the feeling of chilling coldness brushing through my skin.
