EP 83

- Third Person POV -

Soonyoung entered the Organic Market. "H-Hello..." Only to be greeted by the cat Minghao took in from the adoption event.

"M-My I speak to your owner?" Soonyoung hesitated to pet the cat seeing it pull its claws out.

"MEROW!"

"Ack! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Soonyoung apologized backing away.

"Don't worry, Chief won't claw you... What do you want?" Minghao asked walking in with a fresh basket of oranges. Minghao tried smiling.

"Ming, we have to be more welcoming to new customers." Junhui patted Minghao's shoulder.

"Yeah, that's why I was smiling." Minghao's eye twitched.

"Alright, I'll take this one." Junhui chuckled as Minghao walked away with Chief. He turned to face Soonyoung. "Hello! What can we do for you? Also, aren't you Han's brother? We've heard about you."

"Ah! Yes, that's me!" Soonyoung smiled. "I'm Soonyoung, nice to meet you both."

"You can call me Jun and he's Ming, pleased to meet you too!"

"I'm here to pick up somethings for Mrs. Boo." Soonyoung handed Junhui a list.

"Oh wow! That's a long list. Hopefully, we have everything."

"Yeah, she'll be cooking for Mingyu's party."

"Looks like she's making her famous Mango and Peach pie for the party." Junhui smiled.

"Nice. No gathering is complete without it." Minghao peeked over Junhui's shoulder.

"Right? It's great that we're having a celebration for Mingyu!"

"Personally, I was just planning to invite him out for drinks but this is much better." Soonyoung chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm sure he'll love it! He loves surprises!" Junhui jumped.

"I agree it's a thoughtful way to sent him off."

"Anyway, some of the items are from my store. I'm gonna check if I still have some in stock." Minghao walked away.

"Alright!" Junhui and Soonyoung exclaimed in unison.

"Ah! Speaking of the party, we were just working on something just before you showed up!" Junhui took hold of Soonyoung's hand.

"Oh?"

"Come on it's over here. I want your constructive criticism, okay?" Junhui pulled Soonyoung along behind the shelves.

"Haha! I'll try my best." Junhui came to a halt in front of a banner he and Minghao made for Mingyu. "Ta-da! We've been working on it all morning! What do you think?"

"It's really cute!" Soonyoung loved the banner.

Ping!

Soonyoung's phone received a message, and he pulled it out to see who it was. "Hm?"

It was Jihoon messaging him back.

-- Hello? 😊

Uhh... Hello? Wait aren't you Mingyu's friend from the adoption event? --

"Uhmm... Jun, I've been wondering... You guys have known Mingyu for a long time right?" Soonyoung asked.

"Yeah, we practically grew up together," Junhui answered.

"Are you familiar with Lee Jihoon?"

"Oh, yeah Jihoon. I know him. He was here a lot when he and Mingyu were still together. Why do you ask?"
