"God you are so lucky," Seungmin commented as he sat at the edge of the kitchen counter. "You finally got to live with your soon boyfriend, he finally knows that you are bi and you almost kissed him. I wish love was that easy," He continued.

"And he's the one who did the first move! Damn that guy knows how to flirt."

"He did not flirt," Minho said as he swiped a towel against the counter, cleaning it.

"Hello?~ He said to kiss him! Tell me that's not---."

"It was not flirting! He wanted to do it because he wanted to know his sexuality. " Minho interrupted Seungmin.

"He wanted to know by you kissing him?" Seungmin asked. Minho nodded.

"Damn. If he already knows his sexuality, what would you do?" Minho froze at the question.

"I-I would accept him." Minho said.

"Of course you would. You accepted me when I told you I'm gay,"

Minho stopped and faced Seungmin.

"Speaking of, there was a guy that came in earlier." Seungmin was left confused by the older's statement and was surprised when Minho changed the topic.

"Who guy?"

"You were here in the kitchen when he came, he claimed to be your boyfriend and asked for you." Minho continued "I didn't know you had a boyfriend, Seungmin." Seungmin widened his eyes.

"H-he went here?!" Seungmin yelled. "What did you say?" Seungmin once again yelled.

"I said that your shift is not yet finished and that you were in the kitchen. He said he will come back to get you." Minho said plainly.

Just then, the door rang out signalling that a customer had arrived.

"Oh god no," was all Seungmin could say.

A highschooler appeared with one bag placed on one shoulder and another he's holding. The guy scanned the empty place and soon landed on the two.

He then walked towards them.

"Hey babe," he called out winking at Seungmin. "You ready to go?" He asked and dragged Seungmin without even hearing his reply.

"Woah woah hang on," Minho stopped the two. "Who are you?" Pointing at the unfamiliar guy,  Minho's eyes scanned the boy from his brown hair down to his black converse shoes.

"Hyung, this is--"

"Hwang Hyunjin, Minnie's boyfriend." He smiled placing his arms onto Seungmin's waist, pulling an uncomfortable Seungmin closer to him.

"Yeah hyung, this is my b-boyfriend. He is a nice person, I promise." Seungmin reassured the older.  Minho nodded still confused.

Something's not right.

"Uh hyung, we gotta go now. My classes are about to start." Seungmin said breaking off the silence.

"Oh okay. Yeah sure," Minho said confused. Seungmin dragged Hyunjin out of the pizzeria harshly, whispering a lot of stuff.

"They still have 25 minutes until their classes start." Minho winced placing his hand onto his chin. "Why the rush tho," Minho shrugged the thought and was about to go to the kitchen when the door once again flew open.

There revealed a clean man in his casual clothes.

Mr. Kim, Minho's boss.

Minho bowed upon seeing the man walking towards him. "Annyeonghaseyo,"

"Hey Minho-ssi! It's nice to see you again." Mr. Kim sat in one of the chairs. "How was the job?" He asked the younger.

Minho got the job at the pizzeria thanks to Woojin, Mr. Kim's younger brother and a good friend of Minho in college. Even though, Minho got the job 2 months ago, Mr. Kim ensures that his employees doesn't have any problems so he asks them every chance he got, how was work or the job.

Minho smiled at the older "The work is fine, Mr. Kim," Although Mr. Kim is believed to be strict most of the time, he has a soft heart and cares about anyone.

"How are finances doing?"

"Seungminnie checked it this morning and it was stable," Minho replied. "Good." Mr. Kim let out an exhausted sigh.

"How was Australia?" Minho asked.

"Oh it was good. Finally built another branch of our pizzeria there. Lots of people come there to eat and chat." He answered. "Oh right! That leads to here, I am thinking about adding more employees since it might be hard for you three to manage the pizzeria alone. So I'll add maybe 5 or more employees for a full time job." Mr. Kim explained.

"That's great, Mr. Kim," Minho said. Mr. Kim looked around the pizzeria.

"I'm also thinking about renovating, and adding colors to this place." He said. "Oh since there are no people for this day, I'll give you a day off." Minho bowed thanking him.

"Off you go, little champ," Mr. Kim patted Minho's shoulders, walking towards his office.

~~~

Minho finally went out of the pizzeria, inhaling the fresh air and seeing the bright sunlight with the wind howling softly.

He checked his phone only to see that it was 3:45 pm.

It was a Wednesday afternoon, so definitely he deosn't have classes on Wednesdays, for the whole day.

Maybe I'll go to the supermarket nearby since today would be my first day to live with Jisung. Minho thought. He needs to buy stuff knowing that the fridge might be empty and he also needs to buy things he personally needed.

As Minho started walking, with his bag swung on his one shoulder, he felt someone hugged him from behind.

"Gotcha!" A familiar voice rang, wrapping his arms around Minho's neck.

"Jisung!" Minho was surprised to see the younger. He knew that Jisung has classes every single day. But why is Jisung here?

"Hyungie! Where are you going? Is your shift finished?" Jisung asked getting off of Minho, in which Minho wished he didn't. 

"Yeah, my boss came from Australia and he gave me a day off." Jisung nodded. "Classes ended early because our prof wasn't around so we get to leave early." Jisung said.

"How about Jeongin?" Minho asked. "He went somewhere. Hyung, where are you going?" Jisung asked.

"Oh. To the supermarket, I'll grab some things there then go home." Minho said. "Can I come?" Jisung asked, Minho nodded.

"Of course you can." Jisung smiled at the response.
