Jinhyuk looked closely at the sleeping Jihoon. Fearing that he might wake him, he carefully stroked Jihoon's hair.
"…cute"
Tiring!!!!
“Hmm…”
Ji-hoon, who suddenly woke up to the sound of an alarm, looked at Jin-hyeok who was close to him and said.
"Huh? Jinhyuk, what are you doing here..?"
"Uh..uh..?"
Jinhyuk's face flushed red in the sudden situation, and he froze, speechless. Jihoon tilted his head at the sight of Jinhyuk, then approached him, who was gradually moving further away.
“Jinhyuk..?”
"I'm sorry!!"
"uh..?"
Jinhyuk backed away to the door, yelling an apology, and Jihoon was flustered. What on earth did he do in his sleep to make him act like this?
"Why are you so surprised... What did you do?"
"Huh?? No? I didn't do anything. Haha."
Ji-hoon was suspicious of Jin-hyeok's awkward behavior, but he brushed it off and left the room.
“What the... why are you so surprised, like a guilty person..”
"haha…"
Jinhyuk's heart raced as he watched Jihoon drink water in the living room. Jihoon, his small frame wearing his own clothes, his small hands and feet sticking out as he drank. He smelled like him, and the thought of them having just spent the day together thrilled him.
“Why are you looking at me like that..?”
Jinhyuk unconsciously stared at Jihoon. Jinhyuk covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head away.
“Uh..it’s nothing..”
‘..They look like newlyweds..!!’
Ji-hoon drank some water and sat down on the sofa next to Jin-hyeok. Jin-hyeok couldn't help but notice Ji-hoon's flabby body peeking out from under his oversized clothes, making it hard to know where to look. Every time he looked at Ji-hoon, he couldn't help but think of the Ji-hoon he'd dreamed about that day, and Jin-hyeok couldn't sit still. Ji-hoon, seeing this, looked at Jin-hyeok with concern and said.
“What’s wrong with you today..”
Jinhyuk couldn't bring himself to tell Jihoon about his dirty dream. He simply lowered his head and spoke quietly.
“It’s really nothing.. I just had a weird dream..”
Ji-hoon followed Jin-hyeok's bowed head down and met his eyes as he spoke.
“What kind of dream is this?”
Jinhyuk's face flushed in real time at the close proximity of Jihoon's face. Jinhyuk turned his head sharply and spoke.
“..there is something like that”
Jinhyuk turned his head, but Jihoon, who was looking at his back, saw Jinhyuk's reddened ears.

Soojin, Hyunsoo, Jinhyuk, and Jihoon ate their meal. Jinhyuk didn't say a word during the meal. He always made Jihoon sit next to him, but not today. Jinhyuk ate quietly, while Hyunsoo and Soojin were noisy again. Jihoon nibbled his food, trying to keep an eye on Jinhyuk. Hyunsoo and Soojin, sensing something strange, whispered to each other, trying to gauge each other's reaction.
“Hey hey..did those two fight..?”
"Ugh... I don't know either"
"It's a lover's quarrel..."
"I can hear everything."
"Haha..!! Shall we all go shopping together today~?"
“Okay, sis!”
"..haha good"
Jinhyuk looked pitifully at Hyunsoo and Soojin, while Jihoon smiled and said, "Yes." Jinhyuk, wondering how he could possibly be going if Jihoon was going, munched on food and stared at Jihoon. Seeing Jihoon smiling so brightly this morning, Jinhyuk felt a strange pang in his heart.

”Hmm~ I really like the smell of new clothes like this ㅠ"
The four of them arrived at the department store and wandered around, browsing the clothes. Hyunsoo followed Soojin around, reacting to her every move, while Jihoon and Jinhyuk wandered separately, browsing the clothes. Jinhyuk and Jihoon were browsing at a certain brand. Jihoon pulled out one item, held it up to him, and asked Jinhyuk a question.
““What do you think? Does this suit me?”
Ji-hoon showed off his oversized shirt. Jin-hyeok thought the small Ji-hoon visible through the large shirt was so cute. Jin-hyeok looked at the shirt and Ji-hoon together and answered shyly.
“..It suits you well”
“Really? Should I buy this? Haha.”
“…If you want to buy something..”
Jinhyuk looked around for clothes and found a T-shirt with the words "Golden Child" written on it. Jinhyuk called out to Jihoon from afar to tease him.
“Jihoon!!”
"huh?"
“Come to work.”
Ji-hoon approaches Jin-hyeok. Jin-hyeok jokes with Ji-hoon, showing him the T-shirt he wore earlier.
"How is it? I found clothes that suit you well."
"hey..!"
Ji-hoon looked dumbfounded, and Jin-hyeok clutched his stomach and laughed. Ji-hoon wanted to punch Jin-hyeok in the chest, but seeing Jin-hyeok smiling so brightly made him laugh too.
While Jinhyuk was looking at clothes seriously, he discovered a slim-fit shirt with a wide waist.
“Ugh, who wears something like this?”
Jinhyuk stared at the clothes and imagined Jihoon wearing them.
Jinhyuk stared at the clothes for a long time, lost in his imagination, with more erotic thoughts than he had expected.
“…Jihoon might look sexy wearing this… Aaah, what are you talking about, Kim Jinhyuk!! Wake up, you pervert!”
Ji-hoon, who saw Jin-hyeok looking at the clothes alone from afar and pulling out his hair, approached Jin-hyeok and spoke to him.
"What are you doing?"
Jinhyuk, startled by Jihoon's sudden appearance, stuttered and hung up his clothes again.
“Ah..it’s nothing..”
Jinhyuk's already flushed face couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard he tried. Jihoon took out the clothes Jinhyuk had put back and asked innocently.
“Do you want these clothes?”
Jinhyuk said with a red face.
“Ah.. no..! That’s not what I want..”
Jinhyuk trailed off, slowly glancing at Jihoon. Jihoon, who had a look of ignorance on his face, held the clothes close to his body, making his imagination seem to improve. Jinhyuk's imagination of Jihoon wearing those clothes and his dream from that day simultaneously froze him. Jihoon was startled and worried at the sight of Jinhyuk's blushing face.
"Jinhyuk...? Are you okay?"
“….”
Jinhyuk trailed off and looked at Jihoon. "If I told you that you were imagining what I saw, how would you react?"
Seeing you staring at those clothes as if to say, "Who would wear something like that?", I couldn't bring myself to say anything. Jinhyuk looked embarrassed and moved away.
“No.. it’s just that the clothes are uniquely made.”

After finishing shopping, the four gathered again.
“Ha! I’m so happy haha”
"Did you buy all the clothes, sister?"
“Oh, actually, there are two more things I want, but I’ll hold back crying when I see you ㅜㅜ”
“Wow.. my sister has a kind heart too..ㅠㅠㅠ”
Hyunsoo was practically being used as Soojin's porter, and he smiled and replied to Soojin's words, wondering what was good about those words. However, Jinhyuk did understand Hyunsoo's actions. How could he hate him when he was the first person to show him the feeling of love?
“Jinhyuk, shall we go eat?”
"hungry?"
“Hmm…a little?”
“Haha, okay, let’s go eat.”
Jinhyuk left Soojin and Hyunsoo to have dinner alone with Jihoon. Jinhyuk, who was so excited to be eating alone with Jihoon for the first time in a while, moved awkwardly and acted awkwardly. Jihoon saw him and said,
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you so nervous?”
“..Huh..? That..”
Ji-hoon came in front of Jin-hyeok and said with a smile.
“This reminds me of when we first met. Right?”
Jinhyuk's face flushed in surprise at Jihoon's sudden behavior. Jihyuk covered his face with his hand and spoke quietly.
“…Then do you want to play like when we first met?”
"huh?"
"Let's play like we did when we first met. Let's play like that today."
