it turns out staying at joshua's apartment was a good idea. seungkwan started bitching about some of his colleagues at work which was absolutely hilarious as he added in overtop impersonations of the coworkers he hated, which seemed like all of them. at first i was shocked but then hansol came and sat next to me explained that this was just the way seungkwan acted and from the looks of it, hansol loved it. from the looks of it hansol was in love with all of seungkwan.

when it was time to leave, hansol walked me home and we exchanged phone numbers.
"we should hang out again sometime soon. you, me, seungkwan, joshua and junhui." hansol said, smiling wide at me.
"sure." i smiled back, hopefully the next time we hang out it won't be with junhui but i can't exactly bad mouth him after just meeting his friends. i waved goodbye to hansol before going up to my apartment.

as soon as i stepped inside a heavenly smell wafted from the kitchen to where i was standing. when i walked into the kitchen wonwoo was sitting on one of our stools staring lovingly at mingyu who was cooking. also probably staring at mingyu's exposed back as he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath his apron. thankfully though, he was wearing pants otherwise i would've been scarred forever.

"i didn't know we were having guests." i said, announcing my presence. i held back a laugh as wonwoo nearly fell off his stool and mingyu rushed to turn around, using his hands to cover the parts of him the apron didn't, letting out and unholy screech. once mingyu had composed himself he spoke, "uh, sorry. we're cooking you a apology dinner."
"too bad that i've lost my appetite after seeing you like this." my comment made mingyu turn run and run off, saying he'll get a shirt on.

i took at seat next to wonwoo, who looked at me, concerned. "you okay?"
"i guess. today's been one really shitty day."
"you want to talk about it?" i thought about his offer for a second before deciding to accept it.
"well, i was hit on by this really fucking greasy guy at work and it was so annoying and disgusting that it instantly got me into a bad mood. then when i went to my friend's house he was there again and he tried to tell me it was my fault that he hit on me and honestly i was so pissed, who the fuck does he think he is? so yeah, my day has been shit and i can't wait for it to be over."

wonwoo stayed silent for a short while after i ranted, probably processing what i had said.
"wow... that sure does sound like a shitty day. i'm sorry you had to deal with that greasy guy he sounds like a huge asshole." i let out a sigh, banging my head down on the counter.
"i'm just so done with everything. i'm so stressed out because of university. i like my job, it's okay, but the only reason i have it is so i can pay for enrolment into university. ugh. just thinking about it makes me stressed."

"i could help you pay it off, my family's pretty well off and if i tell them i need the money for gay to straight therapy or some bullshit like that i'm sure they'd give me the money. they don't exactly approve of my sexuality." wonwoo suggested and i was about to reply when mingyu interrupted me, "wow." he started off sarcastically, both wonwoo and i turned around to see him standing behind us. i don't think either of us had noticed he had been there. "i was gone for one second and you're already planning to be his sugar daddy." mingyu shook in head in fake disappointment, "what about me? i'm always up for a sugar daddy."
"fuck off mingyu. you'd probably spend it on some fucked up sex toys or blow it all at a strip club."

mingyu started laughing at my comment and i notice wonwoo was glaring at him as if to say, don't you dare. "well, here's a funny story for you minghao, i actually met wonwoo at a-" mingyu's words were replaced with a yelp as wonwoo kicked him in the crotch. "ow! what the fuck?" mingyu dramatically collapsed to the floor, letting out a hideous scream. i rushed to clamp my hand over his mouth, "mingyu! shut up! we'll get kicked out of the apartment."

as if on cue, someone started knocking on our door. i motioned for wonwoo to go get it and he complied. i listen to their conversation for where i was.
"oh, hello." the lady who had knocked on our door suddenly let out a high pitched giggle. wonwoo's charms, back at it again, and he didn't even say anything. "i'm the landlord's daughter and i was wondering if you were okay? i heard screaming."
"oh it's nothing. we're just murdering someone." as soon as wonwoo said that i let go of mingyu's mouth, telling him i'd kill him if he let out one sound and rushed to the door to save wonwoo's and the landlord's daughter's conversation.

"wonwoo." i said sternly, "can you go see if mingyu's alright?" wonwoo turned and grinned cheekily at me before leaving. i turned to the landlord's daughter who was surprisingly younger and prettier than i thought she would be.
"hi. i'm sorry about that. the truth is my friend stubbed his toe and he was a bit over dramatic about it. and my other friend, the one you were just talking to, has read too many crime thrillers. i apologise for the inconvenience."
"oh, okay. i'll be off them. sorry for bothering you." the landlord's daughter smiled before leaving. i closes the door behind her and let out a sigh. jesus fucking christ.

i walked back towards the kitchen to see both wonwoo and mingyu sitting on stools and smiling as angelic as they could.
"you're both dead." i said, glaring at them. "but first, mingyu, finish cooking. i'll need a good meal after that catastrophe."
