6 : Re-Encounter

🍃

JAE'S P.O.V

"Ow...my head..." He groans silently, leaning on his hand with head lowered. Wonpil walks towards Jae with a hot lemon tea, hoping it would make the older slightly better from the hangover. He places the mug in front of Jae, "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping right now?", he says with a slight angry tone. Jae shakes his head, not raising it as he spoke.

"I can't sleep with this massive headache. But I can't stay awake either 'cause it hurts even more. What should I do Wonpillllll", Jae looks at the younger, grabbing both his wrists as he shakes it around, asking for an answer from Wonpil who doesn't know what to say. He wishes he could help the older, but his works calls upon him. Wonpil just advises Jae to try and sleep, then use sleeping pills if needed, before going back to his work.

Jae sighs, putting his chin on the small table as he just eyes the cup that's filled with hot lemon tea. He closes his eyes, sniffing the sweet aroma, hoping it would make him feel slightly sleepy at least. Well, it didn't work, but it did make him feel relax, which is not what he wanted. He sips on the drink, before leaving the bakery not forgetting to wave goodbye to Wonpil first.

"Is your friend ok?" Wonpil turns to Sungjin who asks. The smaller boy sighs, shrugging as an answer since he's not sure himself. "The hangover is really bothering him Sungjin hyung. I don't know how to help."

Sungjin could see the boy pouting. He chuckles which caught Wonpil's attention, wondering what was funny. Sungjin pats his shoulder, "No need to worry. He'll be fine, plus, he might not fully regret being drunk last night", he reassures.

"What do you mean by that?" Wonpil raises an eyebrow at the older's statement. He waits for an answer, but Sungjin manages to avert it when a customer walks into the bakery. He alerts Wonpil, who immediately went to the customer. Sungjin glances at the brunette before sighing in relief, seeing how he manage to escape from answering the question.

Just like every other night of his work day, Jae walks into the house. Yet again, smelling like after surgery. Though this time is a little bit late as it was 1 in the morning. He tiredly drags himself to his bathroom, washing off all the scent away. He does his daily night routine of taking his contact lens out, dripping some eye drops, except he doesn't wear his glasses and instead just falls backwards onto his bed. He sighs softly before closing his eyes, sleeping away as tiredness consumes him.

Well, that is what he wishes would happen, but instead he couldn't sleep. It was as if something is keeping him up. He opens his eyes slowly, sighing. He stays like that, staring at the ceiling before sitting up, scratching his head.

"Ugh...why can't I sleep.", he asks himself. He looks at the alarm clock on his nightstand, realizing it was already 3am. He groans, lying back on his bed as he tried to fall asleep again, but it was no use. He sighs deeply, ruffling his blonde hair.

"Yet again we meet huh?"

Jae stops his motion when he heard a rather familiar voice. He turns to his side, but sees no one, until he turns to his other side, seeing a reflection on a mirror that shows a man sitting in front of it with an un-amused look. Jae blinks a few times before rolling off the bed, hiding himself behind it. He pokes his head, peeking to see the red hair still looking at him with a raise eyebrow. Jae slowly stands up, walking towards his dresser, closer to the male.
