Johnny narrowed his eyebrows. "Oh... hi," he responded after a moment.

Yujin's eyes focused on Johnny's face and she took in all of his features. The photos were good, but, damn, he looked even better in real life. She dropped her handbag down to her elbow joint and looked down through it.

"I don't think you remembered it last time, but here!" She exclaimed happily. She pulled out a small slip of paper with her phone number written on it out of her purse and pushed it into his hand.

Johnny hesitated. "Yujin, I don't want your number," he said, looking pointedly at Taeil, who hadn't moved an inch since her arrival.

For the first time since Yujin arrived, she looked over at Taeil. "Well you're going to have it and text me, Johnny," she said. She turned with a wink, swished her hair, and sauntered over to the till.

Johnny looked away from the problematic girl and sipped on his Cooler. Taeil moved his leg from around Johnny's, whispering something he couldn't quite hear.

"What was that?" Johnny asked. He reached into the Starburst packet only to find it had run out.

Taeil didn't answer.

"So, Johnny!" She returned with a hot drink in her hand. Johnny angrily drank his Cooler and Taeil did nothing. "You're looking good again today," she winked. "I would love to stay for longer and talk about everything with you, but Doyoung wants me to watch the house for today."

She blew a kiss from her cherry painted lips and left, her skirt swirling around her waist and hair following.

Taeil's face remained passive, and just when the bell stopped ringing, he said, "Two."

Johnny frowned and put down his drink. "Two?"

Taeil nodded before sitting up straight. He rubbed his eyes, doing his best to smile. "I should probably be going home."

Johnny stretched his arm to Taeil's face and fiddled with his fringe, the softness brushing past his fingertips. His heart missed a beat because the older would usually react to his touch in some way, whether it was leaning in to it, or giggling, but nothing happened. Taeil just kept his eyes on Johnny's face, not quite on his eyes but somewhere by his lips as he felt the warmth of the sensations on his face.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" Johnny asked and stood up when Taeil did.

Taeil shook his head. "I want to have a day alone tomorrow," he said quietly and paused for a few seconds. "Johnny... Yujin..."

"Huh?"

"Yujin is Doyoung's sister. You know that, don't you?"

Johnny's eyes widened. "What?"

"Yeah... I just thought I should let you know," he said.
