“ Thanks for your hard work~ ”
I stuffed the uniform into the shopping bag
When I opened the lounge door Minho was asleep on the sofa
Minho, asleep with his phone in his hand, was
breathing softly and evenly
Seeing that face, eyes tightly shut and sleeping so peacefully
my playful side slowly rose up
I held back the laughter trying to spill out and crept closer, suppressing my footsteps
“ Boo!! ”
At the sight of him jerking in surprise
I finally burst out laughing
I laughed so hard I was clutching my stomach, almost falling over
“ You were that tired you fell asleep in the middle of it? ”
“ I don’t know.. I pulled an all-nighter yesterday doing homework “
Only then did Minho rub his sleepy eyes and sit up
As soon as I got into the passenger seat I spilled everything that had happened earlier
as if untieing a bundle of stories
The customer who asked for no ice in their smoothie and
the customer who ordered hot chocolate and then threw a fit, asking why it was so hot
Complaining that there were way too many difficult customers today,
I got light reactions and empty consolation in return
Minho kept letting out heavy yawns one after another
and repeatedly rubbed his face dry
He looked so exhausted
I almost wanted to take the wheel for him
“ Why do you keep walking everywhere instead of using a perfectly good car?
It’s such a pain, seriously ”
“ Because kind Minho-ssi is giving me a ride~ “
” After 6 years, it’s about time you stopped looking “
His words were blunt, but his actions were always kind
With this kid, whom I first met in high school and got close to,
I’d spent a long 6 years before I knew it
Unlike me, who can’t even touch alcohol Minho, who was famous for holding his liquor,
would always refuse my drinking invitations, saying he didn’t want to take care of me when I was dead drunk
but because his dry little jokes always made me laugh,
I always took Minho with me wherever I went
Minho, on the other hand, seemed quite annoyed by this situation
saying he never expected us to get this deeply close
and he’d let out a shallow sigh
“ Get home safely, driver~ ”
“ Yeah, now get lost already hahaha ”
The house I came back to was filled with cool air
It was my mistake for forgetting to turn off the air conditioner
Before I even turned on the lights
fumbling around here and there, I found the remoteand turned off the air conditioner first
The moment I turned on the living room light and stepped into the room
I heard the sound of someone entering the door lock code
I flinched, wondering if maybe a burglar had gotten in
but there was only one person
who would barge into my place at this hour without warning
and thinking that made me sigh first
“ Hey~ “
