Copper Kiss ✧ SOONHOON

"Mom, I'm home. Did you eat?" Jihoon greeted his mother as soon as he step foot inside their house. He saw his mom nodded and prepared the food for him. As soon as the dish is served, he began digging on his food as soon as he settled his self on the chair.

After eating, he changed into his usual home attire clothes where he would be comfortable. He has this medium-sized guitar design on his over-sized shirt and even claimed it as his fave one.

Jihoon suddenly craved for something like a dessert and decided to go out for a while to find something that'll satisfy his craving. On his way, he saw a blinding signage that says 'Neneng's Halo-Halo'.

"That'll do." Jihoon silently speaks to himself.

He went inside the said store and ordered,

"One medium halo-halo po. Magkano?"

"55 pesos, iho"

"Okay, wag niyo pala lagyan ng corn chips and beans."

"Suuus, ba't ayaw ng mga tao ngayon ang beans at corn chips, inaway ba kayo, iho?"

Jihoon got a bit weird out but he let it slide since matanda naman na ito. Mapagbiro na matanda ire

"A-ah hindi naman po-" Jihoon went with the flow and just answered

"Eh pareho lang kayo nung isang lalaking yun na nag cr lang sandali, iihi lang daw siya pero parang tumae na yun eh, iniwan pa nga halo-halo niya dito at pinabantay sa akin, baka daw nakawi— oh ayan naman na pala, speaking of the devil" pagsososyal ng matanda nung makita niya yung lalaki galing CR. Napalingon naman si Jihoon kahit wala naman talaga siyang pake sa kung sino yun pero agad siyang napadilat at napaiwas ng tingin nang magtama ang tinginan nila.

'Fuck fuck fuck' Jihoon curses silently

"Oy Ji- Jihoon?! Jihoon Lee?! Jihoonie?!!"

Jihoon turns to look at Soonyoung with a frown face.

"Oh nakasimangot ka na naman?!"

"Hindi ka pa ba umuwi?"

"Hehe hindi pa"

"Idiot, what time is it?"

Soonyoung glances at the wall clock hanging around the walls of the store.

"9:21pm?"

"Oh, gabi na. Hindi ka ba papagalitan?"

"Lalaki naman ako so walang panganib yan"

"Tch" Jihoon turned back to the old woman and was surprised when it has a playful grin displayed on her face.

"E..eto po bayad ko, la" Jihoon handed out three 20 peso bill na kinuha naman ng matanda at sinuklian siya ng singko pesos, still grinning at Jihoon at nagkatinginan nalang sila ni Soonyoung sa pagka weird ng matanda.

"Lika, upo ka dito oh" Soonyoung pulled out one of the chairs na nasa table counter lang, katabi sa kay Soonyoung. Jihoon has no choice but to be with this guy again for the nth time and Soonyoung sat down on his chair. He scooped his halo-halo and started eating.

"Natutunaw na halo-halo ko"

"Bilisan mo na kasi yan, kanina ka pa ba dito?"

"Slight hehe"

"Naku, kaninang alas syete pa yan dito" the grandma spoke as he places Jihoon's halo-halo in front of him

"Jeez, go home now. It's getting late."
