Minam woke up and looked around. He sat up.
He was still lying on the couch.
Wolf was gone.
But he could hear the sound of music blasting in the garage.
It was the song Wolfgang by Stray Kids.
That was always what he listened to. It was practically his anthem. It was at the beginning of every one of his playlists.
Minam stood up and went to the garage. Sure enough, Wolf's feet were sticking out from under the car.
Minam bent forward. "HYUNG!" He yelled, trying to be heard over the music.
Wolf took his phone out from his pocket and paused the song. "You're awake?"
"Yeah." Minam whispered, laying down on the floor.
"I put some of my old clothes on my bed. You can wear them. They should fit you." Wolf said.
Minam thought for a second. "I don't think I'll get dirty."
"Go change." Wolf said curtly.
Minam groaned and pushed himself up.
He went and changed into the clothes and folded his school uniform neatly, putting it in his backpack.
He went back out to the garage. "I changed." He announced.
"Come under here then. Everything's ready." Wolf said.
Minam laid down and flipped onto his back, wiggling his way under the vehicle.
Wolf began showing him all the steps.
After they finished and Wolf cleaned up the enormous mess that Minam had made by not putting the oil pan close enough, Wolf announced that they should head to Minam's house.
Minam immediately went pale. "Well, I can just stay here and eat with you guys...." he said, following Wolf back into the house.
"I told my dad I was going to your house this afternoon because I had something important to do. So I should actually do it. Or he'll think I made it up so I could leave school early." Wolf said.
"Did you leave school early?"
Wolf nodded.
"You were allowed to do that?!" Minam asked, surprised.
Wolf shrugged. "Well. "Allowed" is a stretch. But I told him I had to and that I would explain it later. And he said I better have a good reason."
"Was the reason just that you wanted to talk to me?" Minam asked sadly.
"Yeah. And when I tell him that, I'll probably have to show him our group chat too. Sorry."
Minam looked down, disappointed. "Everyone's gonna know now." He whispered.
Wolf gave a sympathetic frown.
They stood there silently for a minute.
"We should go. Your dad will be home from work now." Wolf said.
Minam gulped, looking around the room. "Fine, I promise I'll tell him, I just want to do it by myself."
Wolf nodded. "Okay, I'll leave quickly."
"No!" Minam said nervously. "Stay until Eomma gets there."
"Okay." Wolf said.
