Tiring-!!
7:40 am
Yejun opened his eyes, his hand still blaring, as if something heavy was pressing down on him. He felt uneasy and turned his head to find Ha-min, his face close enough to kiss. Yejun panicked and didn't know what to do. However, he hesitated, unable to wake Ha-min, who was sleeping so soundly, and ultimately decided to endure the frustration. The alarm stopped ringing on its own, and Yejun, trapped in Ha-min's arms, admired his face.
‘… Looking closely, he’s really handsome..’
Yejun suddenly remembered what Ha-min had said last night about wanting to kiss him, and his face turned red in embarrassment.
‘Ah… why would you say something like that… you idiot?’
Yejun was just annoyed that Ha-min was sleeping so soundly, oblivious to his own feelings. He wasn't even confessing, and he was already holding the whole situation back, asking why he wasn't doing anything!! He felt like the fool for getting his hopes up for nothing.
Yejun had never liked a man in his life, but he thought Hamin would be okay.
‘… How about me as Yejun’s first man?’
Every time Yejun saw Hamin, useless thoughts would come to mind, and he would be overcome with shame. While Yejun was quietly imagining all sorts of things in Hamin's arms, Hamin woke up. Hamin, oblivious to everything, rubbed his eyes and tried to get up, but was startled to realize that he had slept hugging Yejun so tightly, and suddenly woke up. Yejun, of all people, was alone with his strange thoughts and his face turned red, and Hamin misunderstood, thinking that it was because he had slept in his arms and couldn't breathe.
“Hey..hyung..! Are you okay??”
Yejun, who was even more embarrassed by Ha-min's reaction, avoided her eyes and spoke.
“Yeah..yeah..haha”
Ha-min is worried about Ye-jun and doesn't know what to do, so he approaches him and expresses his concern.
“What should I do… I should have woken you up ㅠㅠ”
“Hey.. I’m sleeping soundly, how can I wake you up lol”
"still…"
Yejun thought Hamin's reaction was cute. Yejun smiled affectionately and said,
“Hahaha I’m really okay. Did you sleep well?”
"yes..!"
Yejun's smile, shining under the morning sunlight, was so beautiful. Ha-min was happy. It was amazing to see something so beautiful right after waking up. And then he thought.
‘If we live together later... we’ll be able to see each other every day, right?’
Ha-min wandered alone, daydreaming happily. Ye-jun, bewildered by Ha-min's self-deprecating laughter, spoke.
“Hahaha, why are you laughing alone? Let me laugh too.”
“Huh..yeah..?? No, nothing...”

Checkout was at 11 o'clock, so the two of them were packing their bags. The moment they woke up, they were half-asleep, half-packing. Their hair was all ridiculous. Ha-min watched from behind, completely out of breath, Ye-jun defenseless.
Yejun's cheeks, which had been swollen since he'd only just woken up, were plump. Ha-min looked at Yejun from behind and thought.
"Ah… you look like a baby. I want to hug you."
Yejun was busy packing his bags, oblivious to anything. He turned to Hamin and spoke proudly.
“Okay! Ready!”
Ha-min wanted to hug Ye-jun right away because his actions were so cute, but he held back and said.
“Hahaha, good job. Let’s check out and go eat.”
"yes~"

Yejun and Hamin drove to a restaurant for dinner in Hamin's car. Arriving at the restaurant, they sat down and ordered. Hamin had spent a long time researching and contemplating what to feed Yejun before going to bed last night. As expected, Hamin had made reservations at an expensive, upscale restaurant.
“Haha..Hamin..Is it okay to come to such an expensive place..? Right..?”
“Haha, bro, I have a lot of money.”
Yejun was dumbfounded by Ha-min's confident attitude, but for the first time, he realized that Ha-min looked younger than him. Ha-min, who usually showed a serious and mature appearance, why did he look so cute and younger today?
“Haha, okay, next time I’ll buy you food.”
“Next time? Really?”
“Yeah yeah haha why are you so excited.”
Ha-min felt happy to hear the word "next time" coming from Ye-jun's mouth. If it was next time... it meant there would be another chance to eat with Ye-jun.
The food arrived and the two began to eat. Ha-min looked at Ye-jun, who was eating well, and felt proud. Ye-jun smiled at Ha-min and spoke as he ate.
“This is really delicious”
Ha-min smiled as he wiped the sauce off Ye-jun's mouth with a tissue.
“Hahahahaha is it delicious? Eat slowly haha”
“Yeah haha”
Ha-min looks at Ye-jun eating well and feels full. Ha-min gives Ye-jun some of his food and says.
“Eat this too, hyung.”
“Huh, you?”
“Looking at you, hyung, you seem full.”
“Eat a little though..”
“Haha, it’s okay, hyung, eat it.”
Yejun ate, stuffing his bowl full of food as if he couldn't help it. Seeing Yejun looking so happy made Hamin feel happy because he saw that his older brother was happy because of him.
While they were eating, a notification came on Ha-min's phone. As soon as the notification arrived, Ye-jun's eyes naturally turned to Ha-min's phone. When he saw the background on Ha-min's phone, he was startled to see his picture.
“Ugh..! What..is the background…?”
Ha Min smiled and showed off his phone as if he was proud of it.
“Oh, this? It came out so well that I made it my wallpaper.”
“Ah.. no.. who did that..”
“Hahaha, why can’t I do that?”
“No… what if other people misunderstand…?”
“I hope I misunderstood something.”
"to…?"
Yejun was dumbfounded by Hamin's mischievous prank. Hamin burst out laughing at Yejun's expression.
"Puhahaha! I'm just kidding haha. But please let me have a little more. Okay?"
In the end, Yejun cannot win over Ha-min's aegyo and gives in.
"...Okay. But I won't let any major misunderstandings arise. Promise."
“Haha promise~”

So, the two finished their meal and were driving home. Ha-min had enjoyed his recent trip with Ye-jun so much that it was hard to be apart from him even for a moment. It hadn't been Ha-min's turn to confess, but he was still wondering if it wouldn't be a problem if they moved in together, and his heart was pounding.
“Brother, do you live alone?”
“Yeah, right, why?”
“…If you ever get bored living alone, you can come to my house.”
"uh?"
Yejun was taken aback by the sudden proposal to live together.
“Are you suggesting we live together..?”
“I didn’t mean it like that… I just do it when I’m bored, hyung…”
Ha-min, embarrassed, rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and avoided eye contact. He asked, secretly hoping Ye-jun would say, "Okay," but he didn't hear a response. After a moment of hesitation, Ye-jun finally spoke.
“Um… I think it’s a bit early to suddenly start living together.. haha”
“There’s nothing I can do, do whatever you want.”
“Yeah yeah haha I’ll tell you later if I change my mind.”
“Okay, I’ll wait, hyung.”
Yejun couldn't leave the house right away. The house he lived in with his parents was like the only treasure he had left, and leaving it felt like throwing away his last. Of course, if he went to Hamin's house, it was very large and well-equipped, but now Yejun didn't want to leave behind any traces of his family.
Ha-min wonders if his suggestion was too burdensome for E-jun, so he tries to lighten the mood by saying something else.
“Brother, was your trip to the sea fun?”
“Yeah, it was totally awesome lol”
“Thank goodness, my brother likes it.”
“ㅋㅋㅋI think it’s not a bad idea for us to go out and play like this often.”
“Yeah haha we go together often.”
“Hahaha okay.”

The car drove on for a while. Yejun fell asleep, and Hamin drove, occasionally glancing at him. Hamin gazed at Yejun, lost in thought.
"I want to live like this with Yejun hyung... forever. No one can touch Yejun hyung. No one can block our future. Just wait a little longer, hyung. I'll definitely confess in a cool way, so please look forward to it."
