Jihoon tried to open his eyes. It feels like he has been sleeping for a very long time. He grunted as he felt his head aching so bad. It feels like something is hitting his head. After managing to open his eyes, he realized that he's already in his room.

Suddenly, he heard someone pressing the password of his door. Despite his terrible headache, Jihoon is getting ready to fight anyone who will show up. It's a guy wearing a face mask. Jihoon squinted his eyes to look at the person who entered his house.

"Choi Hyunsuk?" Jihoon asked. Looking at Jihoon who's posing like he's ready to hit someone making Hyunsuk giggle.

"What are you doing huh?" Hyunsuk asked while still chuckling.

"Ugh! It's you," Jihoon lies back down on his bed while massaging his temple. "My head hurts so bad,"

"You're drinking too much yesterday," Hyunsuk asked. He walked toward the kitchen area with the plastic bags he was carrying. "I bought breakfast because you have absolutely nothing in your kitchen,"

"Why are you here? Why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick or something?" Jihoon asked.

"Thanks to someone, my lips are swollen so bad," Hyunsuk pulled down his mask showing his swollen lips. Jihoon grabbed his phone to look at his lips. It is as swollen as Hyunsuk's. It makes his head aches even more. "It was too late after we make out yesterday. And I just decided to sleep here because you didn't even let me go,"

Jihoon recalled the memory of yesterday. He remembered that they have been kissing for a long time. Starting from in front of the door and changed their place to the bed. Jihoon put all the blame on the alcohol he had yesterday for his actions. He did remember that he hugged Hyunsuk and won't let him go, basically forcing him to stay.

"Are you going to say that you didn't remember or something?" Hyunsuk asked.

"I remember it. I remember everything," Jihoon sighed. He got off his bed and walked toward the bathroom to wash his face. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. He really needs to wear a mask too today. Looking at how bad his lips swell right now.

Jihoon hit his head recalling that he was willing to keep kissing Hyunsuk yesterday. He even insist him to keep kissing. It makes him feel angry with himself. Why? Because he knows that he enjoys the kiss. Because kissing Hyunsuk feels so good yesterday to the point he doesn't want to stop doing it.

"Is it because I am a virgin?" Jihoon asked himself. Is it a sign for him to find a girlfriend already?

But what if he started to not get good grades after he got a girlfriend? What if he makes his girlfriend sad because he couldn't spend his time with her because of his part time work? What if he became a bad boyfriend and failed in his academics resulting in his scholarship cancelled? Jihoon sighed at his own life.

Jihoon walked out from the bathroom. Hyunsuk already opened the small table that he always uses when he's eating because he's living in a studio apartment that's so small, only enough to have a kitchen cabinet, bed, study table and a cloth cabinet. Hyunsuk turned at Jihoon who was just out of the bathroom.

"Let's eat," Hyunsuk said.

"We are not even that close to eating together like this," Jihoon said as he sits in front of Hyunsuk.

"Are we close enough to make out yesterday?" Hyunsuk asked making Jihoon who just started drinking chocked. "You didn't even pay me for my services yesterday,"

"Yah. What are you? What services?" Jihoon flustered at Hyunsuk's statement.

"Yah. I drag your drunken ass home after paying for the food you had. I listened to your rants and even kissed you for I don't even know how long. And accompany you to sleep because you refused to let me go," Hyunsuk said. "I even bought you some breakfast today and a tonic drink for your hangover,"
