Suddenly-
“I’m back~”
Jinhyuk, completely excited, hummed and came home feeling euphoric. His mother, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, was startled by Jinhyuk's appearance and spoke to him.
“What, why do you feel so good?”
“Haha, I love you, Mom.”
“What the hell are you talking about; stop talking nonsense and come help me with dinner!”
"Okay~"
Jinhyuk changed clothes, helped his mother prepare dinner, and ate. He smiled and stared at his phone the entire time he ate. His mother sighed and shook her head at the sight.
Tiring-tiring-
"hehe…"
[gggh_o] Have you eaten??
[book_love_] I'm going to eat it soon. What about you?
[gggh_o] Haha I'm eating it now
[book_love_] Haha, eat well
Jinhyuk felt even better after meeting Jihoon in person today. Every time he contacted Jihoon, his face and appearance would come to mind, and he couldn't help but smile. Jinhyuk quickly ate, went to his room, and jumped onto the bed.

[gggh_o] Jihoon, do you want to see us next time?
[book_love_] Next?
[gggh_o]Yeah yeah. We decided to meet often
Ji-hoon looks at the DM with a blush of embarrassment at Jin-hyeok's bold actions and replies.
[book_love_] Haha you must have a lot of friends
[gggh_o] Me?
[book_love_] Yeah. He seems to have a really bright and friendly personality. He also speaks nicely.
Jinhyuk mutters to himself with his mouth sticking out in response to Jihoon's DM.
“Oh, really… I only do this to you…”
[gggh_o] No, I don't do that to other people
[book_love_] Huh, really? You're really good to me, lol
[gggh_o] It's because it's you.
Ji-hoon was momentarily taken aback by Jin-hyeok's reply, but he felt happy, feeling like he was special to Jin-hyeok. Ji-hoon stared at Jin-hyeok's reply for a moment, then smiled faintly and fidgeted. Then he muttered to himself.
“…I am…”
Jinhyuk worries that he may have been overreacting to Jihoon's unresponsive behavior despite seeing his messages. Jinhyuk contacts Jihoon again.
[gggh_o] It's because it's you.(Read 4 minutes ago)
[gggh_o] I just do it because you're nice
I'm just being nice... Are you feeling burdened by me?
Tiring-
Ji-hoon comes to his senses and quickly replies to Jin-hyeok's DM again.
[book_love_] No, I wrote it
Ji-hoon replied with a typo because he was typing in a hurry. Jin-hyeok chuckled at the sight of Ji-hoon sending a typo, which was so cute.
[gggh_o] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are there so many typos?
Ji-hoon was embarrassed by his typo, so he buried his face in his pillow and slowly sent back his reply.
[book_love_] Just… by mistake…
[gggh_o] Hahaha, that's right. Can I have your phone number?
Give it to me.
[book_love_] My phone number?
[gggh_o] Yeah, yeah. I want to talk to you on the phone too.
Ji-hoon's heart raced at Jin-hyeok's words. He wasn't sure if he was just like that, but Jin-hyeok's every act of affection towards him stirred Ji-hoon's heart.
[book_love_] 01012345678 here
[gggh_o] 01056781234 This is my phone number.
.

Ji-hoon and Jin-hyeok saved each other's phone numbers as soon as they received them.
[gggh_o] What did I save?
[book_love_] Huh? I just saved it as Jinhyuk.
[gggh_o] ㅜㅜ Please save it a little cuter
[book_love_] Haha what did you save me as?
[gggh_o]
Ji-hoon was embarrassed by the photo Jin-hyeok sent, but Jin-hyeok's actions were funny and he laughed.
[book_love_] Baby koala…? lol
[gggh_o] Yeah. You look like a baby koala.
[book_love_] This is the first time I've heard that... Are you serious?
[gggh_o] Yeah haha
[book_love_]
[gggh_o] What, do I look like a fox?
[book_love_] Yeah. I was going to do a cat.
I thought it was too boring, so I made it a fox.
[gggh_o] What the heck does that mean lol
Jinhyuk was so happy that he hit his pillow alone, thinking that Jihoon was cute when he saved him again.
“Hey..how cute are you, Jihoon..I’m going crazy.”
Jinhyuk buries his face in the pillow, raises his head slightly, peeks out his eyes, and smiles while looking at a photo of the phone numbers they saved together.
“This is why it looks like a couple profile picture… Ah, I’m so happy.”

Meanwhile, Ji-hoon smiled as he contacted Jin-hyeok.
Ji-hoon was timid and had no friends because he looked like a girl, was small and skinny, and was bullied at school.
Since then, Ji-hoon, who had become afraid of meeting people, decided to take a break from school and spend his days just visiting home and the bookstore. But Jin-hyeok was different. He spoke kind words to me and cared for me. Feeling this warmth for the first time, Ji-hoon only grew fonder of Jin-hyeok. And he thought, "If I'm with Jin-hyeok, maybe I can overcome this trauma, too."
Ji-hoon smiles while looking at the DM with Jin-hyeok.
“It was nice meeting you… haha”
