chapter 2: blue

"so how was your day?"

"great" yixing smiled and quickly sipped his tea

"you look very tired, maybe you should call in sick at the restaurant and the night club tonight and have a good night's rest..."

"Jenna, i'm fine"

"you are not, oppa. don't think I don't see it. i am worried about you"

"you don't have to be, i'm perfectly fine. now if you'll excuse me, some people have work to do" and with that remark he rushed out and left his friend sitting at the kitchen table on her own.

Yixing shut the front door behind him and started walking. he had 20 minutes to walk a distance that would take at least 25-30 minutes...aish, he'd be late again

He started running and ran for 15 minutes straight, without showing even the slightest sign of sweat or anything like that...

the restaurant became visible around the corner and he stopped running and ran a hand through his hair.

"good evening, hyung"

"hello, kookie" yixing smiled whilst grabbing a stack of menus

"table 1-7 are yours tonight" jungkook said and then he disappeared into the dining room.

Yixing yawned and stretched for a few seconds before following his colleague

he worked from 7 till 10 and then returned to the rest room to get his stuff and get ready to leave

the door opened and an exhausted jungkook came walking in.

"are you tired?" yixing smiled at the boy

"yes, i'll probably sleep in tomorrow, you?"

yixing chuckled,
"i have to go to the night club now, i'll be home at about half past four"

jungkook gawked at him, and yixing laughed slighly bitter and quickly changed into his (next) work outfit

"wow, that's a cool shirt!" jungkook excitedly pointed at the glow in the dark stars on the sleeveless black shirt.

"thanks" he waved goodbye and went outside.

at 5 am he opened the front door of his house and immediately climbed up the stairs. this time it went a lot slower and he had trouble walking straight.

when he arrived in his room he fell onto his bed, crawled into the pillows and blankets and fell asleep instantly.
