Seonghwa stretches as he wakes up, not even noticing that he's back home. He stares at the wall blankly for a solid five minutes before it hits him. He reaches for his phone and sees the paper on top of it. Intrigued, he quicky unfolds it and starts reading.

Dear Park Seonghwa,

Welcome back home! I want to write this letter to inform you about the events that occured throughout the previous day. Firstly, I attended the interview you had scheduled but I'm regretful to say that I had done a mediocre job at best compared to what you could have done. I skipped the dancing segment with the excuse that I had the urge to vomit, I apologise for lying to everyone. Your friends, Yunho and Yeosang visited and forced me to buy ice-cream for them. They wanted to mend their relationship with you by spending the day with you but I kindly declined the offer and requested them to postpone it to the next day, for your sake. Please enjoy yourself on this day off. I then read a book and ate ramen right before sleeping (apologies). I hope you don't feel overly uncomfortable from my actions and once again, I apologise for any inconveniences. I humbly request you not to sue me. I understand that this request is quite shameless but I'd like to just ask for that one thing.

Sorry,
Kind regards,
Kim Hongjoong.

Seonghwa raises an eyebrow while reading through the letter. His handwriting is surprisingly neat, resembling a font. He wants to laugh at the tone. Why is it so formal? Was Hongjoong feeling nervous?

He smiles when he reads through Hongjoong's request. So he's still stressed about that. How cute.

He folds the letter back up and places it into his drawer. His heart feels warm after reading the letter, even though it was cold and professional. He thinks about how Hongjoong is like in real life and he giggles at the contrast.

"Park Seonghwa, get your ass down here now!" His thoughts are interrupted when Yeosang's voice travels through his house. He's here already?

He checks the time and sees that it's already eleven. He must have been extremely tired to have slept for so long. "Coming!" He shouts back, getting ready as fast as humanly possible.

He comes downstairs and sees Yunho and Yeosang with their shoes on, ready to leave. "We're going to watch a movie. Get you shoes on and get into the car or else we'll kidnap you. There's no escaping this time." Yeosang straight forwardly orders, swinging the car keys around his finger.

"Then what's with all the bags?" He questioningly glances at the multiple bags around the boys, with a cooler at the side too.

"Shut up." Yeosang states before walking out the door. Seonghwa becomes more confused at that answer. "I'll give you a translation. He means to say 'it's a surprise'!" Yunho snickers, chasing after the other boy who is already impatiently waiting in the driver's seat.

Seonghwa's eyes travel to his kitchen as his stomach grumbles. He frowns when Yeosang beeps the car horn at him, meaning he'll have to go on an empty stomach.

They drive in silence, the boys feeling a bit awkward around Seonghwa. They playfully act rude towards him to try and make things less awkward but Seonghwa always seems to ignore it.

Little do they know, Seonghwa is currently trying to muster up the courage to become more friendly. He feels that he's already ruined things so much, how will he go back to how they used to be without seeming weird? If they asked him to spend time with them instead of asking Hongjoong, he would've definitely declined.

He fidgets with his fingers the whole time until they arrive at the cinema. "I know you're too rich or whatever to go to a public cinema but they've got nice popcorn so don't complain." Yeosang coldly scolds. Seonghwa hasn't even opened his mouth but decides to keep it shut, afraid of angering his friends.
