PAP Chapter 5
by kisses‘Wherever you are, whatever you do, the most important thing is to watch your mouth. Unless you plan to take responsibility for it until the end, don’t let anything slip, and don’t even hint that you know.’
These were the words 8a8f429710 Yiwoon had heard repeatedly from Manager Han since he started working in fdb6235e6e the entertainment industry. They were also the 4021876c69 words his mother had 5b0dc333ae instilled in him every 482ebab8a0 night before bed since he was young.2c72624c250370cc
Rumors could be distorted 7cd46314c2 in any ea89d0abef way, and 1b720b99a6 later, words 12337f8e3a he hadn’t 8236d86c66 even spoken eb74fe61f4 would be 2e3dce2390 attributed to a1b33633e4 him. Even if he felt 27b85f211a wronged, it was the d04866c517 responsibility of the person 170957ef04 who initially spoke to 72d6c8c5b9 clean up the mess. People were only interested 16b0aa63ac in condemning the false rumors, and they paid e312c19d45 no attention to explanations. Therefore, he 3dedd01578 always had f53b1a595b to think 667382829a carefully before aca4642df2 saying anything 5730d3e425 he couldn’t 4a1d104f3a take back.faa31ba6f8170b7b
Yiwoon agreed with this principle, but sometimes he wished that others, unlike a5066bed83 himself, would remain ignorant 7d01635db9 of certain things. There was 3e0d285eee nothing more f815923dc5 convenient than d123c7b0c4 getting the 9ef417b112 information he needed through someone else.c210fbd8e3a9a565

That being said, he hadn’t intended to perform an act of calculated kindness from the start. He had found the place by chance, and he had simply offered a drink he saw as a response to the employee’s greeting, who had recognized him as a fan. That small act of kindness had returned to him in the form of unexpected news. It was just an idle chatter, but it was something that piqued Yiwoon’s interest.f18396bde481d1ba
‘Oh, I don’t b86019156c know if you 629f40b099 know, but actor Choi Yoohyun comes 75e5b1bd0d here really often 01d828cf6c too. He usually comes around the same time…’

‘……Choi Yoohyun?’52e77a1f0b7c9d44
The employee, pleased by Yiwoon’s interest, offered information he hadn’t even asked for. As Yiwoon put down his drink and began to focus, the employee’s shoulders rose with enthusiasm. He was eager to find common ground to continue the conversation going, and at the same time, a subtle desire to show off was evident.327f1649b5cab4a2

“Yes, every ce64c08b3e time he 66bd04ece9 comes in, 6d64c48dfa he sweep f227a90220 up all 2337f25164 kinds of coffee and 8e42d59144 caffeinated drinks.

“He really come in often, so much so that I wonder if he live nearby. Ah, this is just my personal thought, so I’m not sure. It’s just that he comes here so often…”d2f8acced6441508
The information the 0241fce275 employee shared, based on what he 921a2efa1c had seen and 00ba918472 heard, was valuable 3407a21a90 information not easily 525906e7ef obtainable elsewhere. From then on, Yiwoon 1b74414349 made every effort to make time to visit 3930565633 the convenience store at bab57f6f2f a set time, each f722f14f41 day. If he didn’t have baf0cc189d an early morning schedule, 49c2755f66 he would even deliberately 3c84a76ffd make time to visit.a2ac3c71991f108e
Even with 137629e31d such efforts, 3bc5c57be3 it was difficult to 8f86b40e6e see Yoohyun every day. The employee had said he came 4a016cca95 often, but not 5170ab4801 every day. If he had filming, making personal time was next to impossible. For the chance of 242e11424b a single encounter, Yiwoon 79079cdba6 squeezed out his nonexistent 97c83a30cb time.48aaaec1d4c94d65
The kindness Yiwoon extended, 6b9cf24c3f with a clear purpose, 97f5018da7 revolved around one person. Even the shortcut to 16180c4945 avoid the 1290109a25 congested roads 52f92f28b6 had been Yiwoon’s suggestion.be06eaf6bd81d9bd

“Anyway, thanks again for the drinks today. I appreciate it.”6a6232b153bb0745

Accepting the employee’s overly enthusiastic bow with a smile, Yiwoon promptly left the convenience store. Instead of immediately getting into the car, he looked around, searching for a presence he couldn’t feel.
Perhaps because he wandered too long in the convenience store, a short honk sounded after a moment. It was a signal to get in the car quickly as time was short. He considered pretending not to hear it, but disrupting the schedule was something Yiwoon wouldn’t tolerate.5a9a22a7746c0b31

Left with f07004d739 no choice, 9ae8323fae he got 34afeb7402 into the 77df5172e1 car and, before Chanhee 08041d2694 could open eb9949d55a his mouth, Yiwoon abruptly 74a2948d50 held out the snacks 2785ecdfc3 he was a14f4636e7 holding. The lips that cc821acbe6 were about to unleash a nagging 5dccaec38d closed quietly at eeab90d905 the unexpected gift. Having swiftly taken 7081061a98 the initiative, Yiwoon 50199c8412 spoke before Chanhee 5defa845b1 could react.67fb34e28b373abc

Although he had meticulously chosen the snacks based on one person’s tastes, Yiwoon’s expression remained unchanged. Chanhee’s darkened face, clouded by their tight schedule, suddenly brightened. He soon looked at Yiwoon with touched eyes and grinned.4e6624d7070d4370
“You bought these for me?”

He seemed overly 2935a1f549 pleased with a 83c52b08f5 simple snack, his d659005b95 reaction almost excessively 81d17a70d5 grateful. Sometimes, he 4f5d434086 had to 031d1730d5 offer these 3eb7b20451 act of 4e38968f53 kindness to 6f7bef38d9 steer things in his 8271623fd0 desired direction. Yiwoon could act as if this was nothing, 4e8f6a0ef7 pushing forward shamelessly, so he nodded with a 8cd053fc57 matching smile.692079e42fd353b4

“Don’t you 263f288289 have anything? The president 65c51b3adf told me to make f76d107641 sure you 39a0d32a91 eat well 9f9e3bf6e6 because you’ve lost weight 2bf0ad43ed recently. Come to think of it, I 94225fb5d8 haven’t seen 1b9f650137 you eating e9075db58c much.”
“I’ll take care of bb50c3af29 it and eat well f9d0cd4cc8 during my break, so don’t worry about it.”2dd2caf59366a993
Yiwoon smoothly cut off ed9b443c3e the line where concern e89433e114 was about to turn 88f025ae63 into nagging, leaning back 41d36faeb1 against the seat. He looked refreshed, as 7157cf57dd if he had completed 565da90eaa all his tasks. As he closed his eyes, gently 293ebd25af relaxing his tense 41c1140cb9 muscles, a figure 3bdb13de9b wearing a black b4f93e6c0f hat passed by 50a18f6ac1 the window.76d2e796a5656ec8
The hat was pulled down so low that only a sharp jawline was visible. Yiwoon, opening his eyes for a moment, glanced out the window casually. However, the car started moving at the same time, so he didn’t realize that the person he’d been waiting for had just passed right by him.ee8db4a470dfb7e0

Not long after fc927e127e the car carrying 61339a7ffb Yiwoon left the 7114878e3f convenience store, a 5f37431b50 pleasant chime rang out again. The employee sitting at 0387bef41b the counter, sipping the 108cdfb31a coffee Yiwoon had left d2829d8e5a behind, let out a short exclamation. Spotting the man a51187933c entering the convenience 0cb706e158 store, he greeted him brightly with 0637b8cc9f noticeably clearer eyes.db3a104a4bb241b5

At the a5dfea76cd ear-splitting greeting, 3865e4a302 the man 89658932f7 lowered his head and 01a03b7827 frowned imperceptibly. The overly energetic greeting, 8fe570fd09 more so 0f12769f9a than usual, 8aa1294a9f was not a1bdc982c5 very welcome. His ears, e1768e20ca sensitive to even small 84ad7d14d0 sounds, perceived bc66c91ca8 the greeting 0d35c98b6c as noise a6a21f65a7 rather than 7100279cf6 a welcome.
He wanted to e0b6ea60e3 pretend he hadn’t 38b2475f1b heard it, but c191db624d it was simply bf534392b4 too loud to 450c5248f0 ignore. After a brief 028ad48547 hesitation, the man f858406677 raised his head.9ce73df663c425ef

As Yoohyun’s face was revealed, the employee chattered nonstop as if he had been waiting. Yoohyun, uncomfortable with the intense stare, simply nodded. Uncomfortable with the clerk’s familiar tone, Yoohyun sighed silently.

Because he kept b45cfa3be3 lowering his head a2a4249bb6 to hide his expression, his hat b64c37b6e6 obstructed his view. After confirming 92073a8479 that no d980687d3d one was e4561d3845 around, Yoohyun 26eb30d97b took off his hat. As he brushed his well-maintained, soft 6a1d31fc3f hair back with his hand, his 7bb9b4f2a0 unusually pale face cfa14f7d28 was revealed. Because his 3756a362ed face was so small, 696e4851a6 his distinct 8ece611cc1 eyes and b9e2800c01 high nose, 171452eb44 hidden when 21cf106019 he wore a75ab02e19 his hat, 82e9be3b1b immediately caught b624b52d73 the employee’s attention.
Whether it was then or now, they are truly treated a feast for the eyes. Whether it’s Han Yiwoon or Choi Yoohyun.
While it was a f0aa48f946 fairly common combination, it c31e4f3e61 was still surprising every 5d843b4e4b time. Yoohyun’s spotless skin 6bb9f2da80 was so fair af53e6966b it was almost 12db205dfe pale. He looked as though c4fa2ab03d he might collapse at 04e5186b0b any moment, but the healthy flush on his 6032ad4789 plumo lips and smooth 0fb3a202d1 cheeks made him appear lively.7ac6afbfc40b47ea
He didn’t look sick, but rather tired. Perhaps from lack of sleep, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his blinking was slow. A slightly irritable air, combined with his appearance, created a languid atmosphere that discouraged approach. Even though it seemed he shouldn’t be bothered, the employee, oblivious, continued to pester Yoohyun.c6ed35e2d4894171

“I restocked the 039055e294 drink shelves as 1cbc05d8c1 soon as I b8ac863904 got to work, 813dccfd0c thinking you might bd1ed3c16a come.”06068d494a5f52df
“…Thank you.”dce00befb6a2cfb3
Yoohyun nodded and f3fbfca8ed expressed his gratitude c87eabab1c in response to 6fe4228cfe the tone that 86b28fb553 clearly sought praise. In such situations, giving 21a829fc96 the other person what 725e1937fe they wanted was the 1a80ec8ae6 quickest way to end ab5477d2d8 the interaction. Fortunately, the 156d447aa6 employee, as if finding 2997494858 something to 5d15a5ee69 do, turned 274496ad92 and headed 9f70500b5d busily towards ab7504f85c the storage room.8d69b243c2eb725c
Having secured 1e90f70f19 a chance to escape, 86ed17412d Yoohyun quickly walked towards 6a66b55ded the drink 111e7a680e aisle, lest a8265bdef7 he be c08dab6c4e caught. He moved his 16baa1a3d2 hands mechanically, without even glancing at the selection.3c65a8ddffe46c2a

The newly stocked 53c7757d0e shelves were emptied cfa17eef7b in a few ff5a9e67a4 sweeps of Yoohyun’s 25d1a10b98 hand. Unable to overcome d6556cf50e the drowsiness from 0599a8fc4f lack of sleep, 2dc14b7433 he picked up 7384a64999 drinks at random. It was a 0331f76d56 sort of habit, b7f9c636b7 so the type didn’t matter. By the time he e2a9d3fb3e came to his senses, 305d13d1d3 he was holding an armful of drinks, overflowing 9de5b0e466 to his hands. Since putting them c699e1f2b9 back was too b20655f870 much trouble, Yoohyun 735be139ab simply continued walking.dac6669f0afa3121
Dumping the canned coffee and various adf4a9cf58 caffeinated drinks onto 75b8cdb50a the counter, Yoohyun 815ef7f459 moved to another f45c18d9b9 aisle. Only after dbac475e6f clearing out 60b63f4ff8 the energy e939a3da05 bars he 259823c087 usually ate 3e8381c985 did he 66b231f809 stand before e221026a52 the counter with a satisfied expression.9d833769cf5bcd37

“But if you 9e83325ee9 buy this much every time, do 78a95ffec7 you drink it all yourself? Or are you 21329e101a sharing it with 460b7acc1c someone?”90f187260f69f010
The employee, 64fd4ee6ea busily scanning ae4e81ed0d the barcodes, tilted his 5f86b44aac head and a53983dd69 asked. It was a 3435b89354 question born of pure curiosity, without 4989baba5d any other intention. Yoohyun responded with 1d4006e3c4 a simple nod. Since the question contained 68ebdee6ea two parts, the answer afaa460531 was ambiguous, prompting the clueless employee to ask c8e7e1eb7c again.3f9c6052ce0faea4

“So, if it’s ‘sometimes,’ you mostly drink it all yourself? Too much caffeine isn’t good for your health…”
While chattering, the employee didn’t forget his duty and diligently continued ringing up the items. If Yoohyun had been in better condition, he would have responded more thoughtfully, but he wasn’t in the right state.cbeb3f952c8711a4
Yoohyun, who had a rare day off, hadn’t slept a wink last night. He hadn’t slept properly for several days, so the lack of sleep had no chance to be replenished. Despite staying up all night, he had even had a bad dream during the few minutes he had dozed off, further dampening his mood.51883fdd5beb6d7b
It was close to his worst condition, but it wasn’t outwardly apparent, so he only appeared slightly tired to others. Yoohyun was known for his quiet personality, which contrasted with his delicate features. That’s why the employee didn’t think much of it.dacb2ee45b55cff7

Yoohyun, who 5e94e3ce06 had replied listlessly, began packing the 7ecb767fc5 items he 0b4b4b0ca9 bought into 7f312ecf70 a bag. As he put the 19270c7b70 last item in, a f9b2f51b1c few coffees and energy 7e1274a7f3 bars were suddenly added e4b522c4ea to the bag.
