Somehow, tossing and turning around the bed Jeonghan fell asleep. The next morning when Joshua came to wake up Jeonghan, he was shocked when he found Jeonghan curled up in a corner beside the bed. Surprisingly, sleeping. Worried something happened the night before, Joshua quickly reached the asleep Jeonghan, picked him up then gently placed him on the bed.

"Hey wake up! Han! Hey!" Joshua screamed in his ear hoping that it would immediately wake the other up. "Yoon Yonghan, if you don't want to die shut up." Jeonghan grumbled in his sleep as he curled up even more, the robes loosely falling down his shoulders. Yonghan? Who was that? Family? Friend? Lover? Joshua sighed. Of course, no matter how tough Jeonghan pretended to be not bothered by these things from outside, he must miss home. Must have someone waiting for him.

But going back- Joshua scoffed as he remembered Jeonghan's answer yesterday. ' I finally got rid of it, why would I want to go back. ' -It's impossible for him. Joshua prays that whoever is waiting for this little shit back home forgets about him. The sooner, the better. "HAN!!" Joshua shouted on top of his lungs which caused Jeonghan to wake up in panic.

"Wha- what happened?!" He shrieked. "Is he back?" He looked around then his eyes landed on Joshua. For a second, he just stared, then his face slowly stated to melt into realization and he began to laugh out loudly. He was trembling, trying to control himself but he couldn't. "Sorry." He managed to choke out after sometime, calming himself down.

"What's so funny?" Joshua grimaced as he questioned this stupidity of his from yesterday. He hadn't given it too much thought but since he talked with Hoshi he began to wonder, why? But his thoughts were broken when Jeonghan threw himself on him. "I thought someone didn't like physical touches." At Joshua's disgust Jeonghan just laughed even more. "What happened?"

"Nothing." Jeonghan said in between his laugh. "Let's not dive into that. Why are you here. What we doing today?" Joshua wanted to ask but he had no right to so, he just rolled his eyes as he softly smacked the others head. "Hurry up. Today's the first trial. You don't wanna be late." But unlike yesterday, today Jeonghan was calm. "Nah, today's a good day. I have a feeling."

Jeonghan and Joshua were late. Well, not 'late' late, they were on time but barely, something Joshua was clearly not happy about. "You have the worst gut feeling." "We were on time-" "Barely!" "Still on time." Joshua clicked his tongue implying that the conversation was over. Jeonghan rolled his eyes as he looked at the crowd in front of him. They were back again, in the same venue as yesterday, same faces, similar faces- "Hannie Hyung." Boo shouted as soon as he saw him, waving like a kid seeing their parents at a sports festival. Jeonghan smiled as he waved back.

Boo ran towards him but before he could invade his space, he stopped and stared at something besides Jeonghan. Jeonghan traced his line of sight and found the other looking at Joshua. "Hello. Nice to meet you again." Joshua smiled as he bowed at the other. Boo, all flustered quacked a small hello then pressed up against Jeonghan's side, away from the sight of Joshua.

"Hyung, he-." "He is my attendant." Jeonghan quickly filled in the blanks. Boo looked at him awestruck and then glanced at Joshua who was minding his own business scanning the surroundings. "He came to wake me up yesterday." Jeonghan chuckled as he finally knew why Boo was so cautious of other. "He came to wake me up too. Don't worry Boo, he is a nice person."

Boo pouted as he shook his head implying that he had a different. "It's not that, Hyung. Yesterday, he answered me everything before I could even ask anything, like he could read my mind. I guess I'm still shocked on that." And Jeonghan understood because that happened to him too. Boo was scared. Scared that the other could read him like an open book. Nobody wanted to be read.
