Leehan woke up with a loud sound of something that fell. His headache was bad after crying all night and having no proper sleep.

He got up, holding his head as he closed his eyes from the sharp pain and the throbbing of his head.

Even before he could properly stand up, he smelled something burning. Without a second, he ran out of his room and went to his kitchen.

He swore that he had checked everything last night. Leehan didn't cook, he didn't even eat a gummy so what could be burning especially at this early morning?

Last night's event was still so fresh that it felt like it happened an hour earlier. He wanted to run in Taesan's arms, to hug him tightly and cry to him.

He badly wanted to rant about how he felt lost, how he struggled, and how people are trying to put them away from each other.

He missed him so much. There's not a single day that he didn't hope that Taesan would be back and when that day arrived, he's forced to push him away for his sake.

Leehan was just steps away from the kitchen when he heard a groan.

It's not a thief...right? His doors and windows were locked so it couldn't be.

Just to be sure, he grabbed a book from the bookshelf of Taesan. He specifically made that for him so can read something when he visited Leehan.

Leehan held it in front of him and quietly walked towards the kitchen.

There he saw smoke coming from the oven and the whole place was a mess with ingredients and utensils scattered everywhere.

No matter who that is or what it is, Leehan was so sure he'll kill it because he used the apron that hung beside the refrigerator and only Taesan can use that or he'll be angry at him.

He walked around the counter and alas he saw the culprit. The person wore black hoodie that was covered with flour. He heard it groan once again.

One step. Two steps. Three steps. Then, boink.

Leehan hit the culprit hard in the head, making the person fall to its right before yelling.

"What the fuck!"

Leehan got nervous, closed his eyes and hit it again two times. "Get out of my house!"

He fought with the culprit for a minute before it faced him and grabbed the book. "Cut it out! It hurts!"

Leehan recognized that voice. He snapped his eyes open.

"Why would you hit me hard?" He groaned, rubbing his head.

Leehan's eyes widened as he backed away. "W-what are you doing he- you can't be here! How did you even get in?"

"Years of us knowing each other and you'll ask how I got in? Of course I know your passcode and I have a duplicate key! We exchanged them, remember?"

He was dumbfounded. Leehan stared at him, not knowing what to do or what to say.

"Can you help me get up?"

Leehan nodded hesitantly before helping him stand up on his feet as he watched him brush off some flour on his body.

"Sorry I made a mess." He chuckled. "I accidentally burnt the second batch of muffins-"

"Why are you here, Dongmin?" Leehan said sternly, coldly looking at Taesan.

"Huh?"

"Why are you here?"

"I never knew I couldn't go and visit you." Taesan replied, walking towards the table and cleaning the mess that he made, one by one.

"You're technically intruding on my property. I could report you to the police, you know." Leehan said
