Minho parks in front of Mr. Han's convenience store, and he hops off his car. Through the glass windows, the honey-haired boy could see that Mr. Han is really anxious and fidgety from behind the register. After all, the old man's eyes are constantly glancing at the clock hanging on the wall next to him with the clock reading near two a.m. Meanwhile, Minho bites his lips nervously while he makes his way into the store after he locks his car, and he already feels guilty since he's about to break the bad news to Mr. Han concerning his son. The store alarm goes off the moment Minho enters the store, but Mr. Han didn't look up yet while the honey-haired boy makes his way towards the register counter.
"Han Jisung, where were you?! It's almost two in the morning! Did you get into another fight again with those guys?! I told you to stop messing with them before they kill you!" That's when Mr. Han finally looks up to see a smiling Minho standing in front of him. Instantly, Mr. Han smiles apologetically while he scratches his head sheepishly. "Sorry, Minho. I didn't mean to yell at you. It's just that Jisung had been gone since the evening, and he isn't back yet. He's usually home before midnight, and I'm just worried he got into a fight with those guys that are hunting him down."
"You're good, Mr. Han," Minho smiled fondly while he shook his head to show that he took no offense against Mr. Han's words because they weren't directed at him.
Meanwhile, Mr. Han sighs loudly while he absentmindedly stares at the glass doors and windows. It's obvious that he hopes to catch a glimpse of Jisung walking down the streets towards the store. However, the old man huffed to himself when he saw no one on the empty streets through the glass windows, except for Minho's car that's parked in front of his store. Nonetheless, Mr. Han averts his attention back to Minho with a kind and polite smile. "Here for some late snacks, Minho?"
Minho shakes his head guiltily, and Mr. Han blinks while he tilts his head curiously because it's very unusual that Minho would come here and not buy snacks. "Then, is there something else I can help you with, Minho?"
"Actually, I'm here to tell you something," Minho started with a heavy heart. When Mr. Han says nothing, he takes it as a sign to continue. The honey-haired boy considers telling Mr. Han the full story that Jisung got attacked after he won the underground fighting championship event. However, he remembers that Jisung doesn't want his dad to find out that he's an underground fighter, and Minho still doesn't have any idea of the guy that attacked Jisung, so he decides to keep his one-sided promise in the form of a threat. "Jisung got admitted to the hospital earlier-"
"Minho, is Jisung okay?! Where is he?! I'm going to see him!" Mr. Han exclaimed in horror and concern.
"Calm down, Mr. Han," Minho quickly reassured Mr. Han with a tense smile, because the man looked ready to ditch the store right now to go see his son. "Jisung is fine. You'll be able to visit him tomorrow. I'll inform my parents to bring you along with them in the morning if that's okay with you."
