『 2 』

Geonhak dressed up nicely for Dongju who he will be seeing in the evening. He was confident that he already dressed nicely until an hour before he was going to leave.

He saw himself in the mirror and felt like the clothes he was wearing isn't the right one.

He sighed in defeat, he can't find the "perfect" clothes. The only people who can help him are his friends so he barged in the room of the couple where he found them having a sweet moment.

Ravn was laying down on the bed with Hwanwoong beside him. Hwanwoong laid his head on his boyfriend's chest while they were watching a romantic movie.

"I need your help," Geonhak exclaimed.

"Sup, baby chick?" Ravn smirked.

"I don't know what to wear. Should I wear a hoodie? a t-shirt? a sweater? a long-sleeve shirt? a polo?" Geonhak started to name all types of clothing he owns.

"You're so stressed out." Hwanwoong pity the latter.

"It's so funny seeing him like this." Youngjo chuckled.

"Yah! I helped you when you were having trouble when you were courting Hwanwoong." Geonhak complained.

"Okay.....you didn't have to tell him that," Youngjo whispered.

"I heard that." Hwanwoong interfered.

"Heard what?" Youngjo laughed nervously.

Hwanwoong shook his head and looked at the latter, "You should wear something casual." he suggested.

Geonhak tried to think of a "casual" outfit. "Like a suit?"

"No.....sweet-" the younger stopped in the middle of his sentence when he saw that his boyfriend glaring at him. "...baby chick....no......I said casual, not formal."

"Try the "boyfriend" look." the older suggested.

"Um, what?"

"Basically, a shirt and jeans."

"Oh, okay." Geonhak ran back to his room and looked inside his closet for the casual outfit.

He slipped into his outfit and ran back to the couple's room, "So.......what do you think?"

"It's nice," they replied in unison.

Geonhak glanced at the wall clock and it's almost time for Dongju's shift to end.

"Thanks, I've got to go now.......do you want anything?"

"We're good." the younger replied.

Geonhak nodded and left the apartment. He walked down the sidewalk, checking his appearance every now and then on every glass or window that he passed by.

When he entered the shop, he noticed that there were no customers, just the tall staff that was afraid of him earlier.

The staff's back was turned to him so he tapped his back to get the latter's attention.

"Um.....hi?" Keonhee greeted, fear can still be heard in his voice.

"Hey.....uh....do you know where Xion is?" Geonhak asked with his deep voice that scared the latter once again.

"Xion? Oh, you mean Dongju, right?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, he's in the back.....I'll get him for you." Keonhee stood up from his seat and walked into the back room, "I'll don't think I'll ever get used to his voice." he sighed.

"Who's voice?" Dongju questioned.

"Geonhak's." the taller replied.

"He's here?!" the younger shouted.

"Yes, I was about to tell yo-" before the taller even finish his sentence, the latter already left the room.

"Now tell me that I'm not the only one who wishes that they're a couple." Seoho sighed.

"Why did they break up? All I know is that they were best friends then they dated then broke up but they're still friends." Keonhee questioned.

"I've been his friend since high school and I don't even know. It just.....happened." Seoho replied.

On the other hand, our main characters are about to talk to each other once again. Dongju ran outside the back room where he saw Geonhak sitting on a table.

"Hey~" the younger greeted.

"Hi, is your shift done for the day?" Geonhak asked.

"Yeah......we're just packing some things up."

Seoho peeked from the back room and exclaimed, "Hey Geonhak! It'll be really nice of you to help us out."

Dongju rolled his eyes and glared at the latter, Seoho chuckled before going back inside the room.

"Sure...I can help." Geonhak smiled.

"Thanks."

"When will the store close? How many minutes are left?"

Dongju looked at the wall clock and smiled at the latter, "Right now."

"Oh, okay.....what do you want me to do?"

"Well.......we wash the dishes, clean the shop, pick up the chairs and place it on top of the table, organize the things in the backroom, and many more."

"Hmm.....tell me....how much do you get paid for all of this?" the older raised an eyebrow.

"Don't give me that look.....I get paid......enough.....I t-think" Dongju mumbled.

"Not convinced that you get paid "enough" but I'll help.......what are they going to do then? Don't you just have tasks?"

"Yeah, they're assigned to arrange the back room and wash the dishes today........while I'm assigned to clean the shop."

"You? You're assigned to clean it by yourself?" Geonhak questioned.

"Yah! I'm not a baby anymore, I can do it." Dongju hissed.

"You're a baby to me," Geonhak whispered.

"Hm? What were you saying?"

"Nothing......let's clean this place before the sun sets."

"Okay." the younger agreed.

Both of them went to the janitor's closet to get the cleaning supplies. Just like Geonhak, Seoho doesn't believe that the latter can clean the place by himself so he helped them as well. After an hour, the tasks have already been finished, thanks to the help of Geonhak.
