Don't Listen In Secret || Joshua Hong

Expiry date

jihye pov:

juhee: who are you talking to?

i jumped as juhee suddenly spoke from my back. even though it was our shift, there weren't many costumers, which sometimes worries me because i don't want to earn less.

jihye: a friend

juhee: kim mingyu?

she is sly as a fox. why did she even ask who if she already knows.

jihye: yeah. i know him because of jeonghan.

juhee: damn. i drool over his pics all day and you are chatting with him here.

i rolled my eyes and pretended to clean the shining counter. juhee has a little bit of crush on mingyu and by little bit i mean she has got his posters all over her walls.

juhee: how is he in person? is he hot? does he smirk like those stories?

she followed me blabbering questions about mingyu. is he flirty? do i look like a dwarf in front of him (i am not short he is giant)

jihye: i don't know shut up.

juhee pouted and placed her hands on her hips.

juhee: you didn't even pause to think!

jihye: fine i will pause and think.

i was planning to just be quiet for a few seconds and repeat what i said earlier. that i don't know. but answers started coming up in my mind on their own.

he is even more beautiful up close and he does like to smirk and flirt. mingyu likes to tease me but he is always there to help me. 

no one has ever cared for me in this way.

juhee: i asked for a pause not the end!

i blinked my eyes trying to bring my brain back. 

jihye: yeah uh- i - i don't know him that well. sorry.

fortunately a costumer came in and juhee didn't bother me anymore. this was weird.

i sighed. 

he is attractive though.

jeonghan pov:

i clicked a picture secretly before jihye could see me. she looked cute in that ridiculous uniform. yeah not funny but cute. even though i would never admit that to her.

jihye noticed me and came up to me excitedly. i felt glad she was happy to see me. because i am not so sure anymore. perhaps i don't really know her as well as i used to think. it's a pity that mingyu knows her better than i do.

jihye : what are you doing here?

jeonghan : i came to pick you up

jihye : on foot?

jeonghan : yeah. let's walk home together.

jihye chuckled and linked our hands. i was surprised but i pretended to be cool like always. as if i didn't care, even though i care a lot. almost too much.

jeonghan : how was your day?

she smiled and i hope it was genuine. i have got trust issues now.

jihye : very good. i am happy. yours?

jeonghan : it was okay.

she frowned as i said that and i just shrugged in response. it really wasn't that good of a day. shua was very happy when he came home but then i asked him if he was feeling better compared to the past few months and he became gloomy again.
