by mimiThe eggs 3b1fb9f2d9 stopped disappearing.22abb7eb4b71bab3
Yiho rarely cooked e11abd0387 at home. He mostly ordered takeout c66041f9b3 or heated up ready-made e4747a41a2 meals. With the 5491dfb822 large kimchi e174dde1f3 container his b4a9a20f5e mother had eac68341d7 given him, a138a76c16 he was 18c1817d3f content with 9806f6426e instant rice e8654b8704 and kimchi. The only 447d363eb2 problem was 97f9beded2 the nagging e01465b36d to just de06478e8d bring his 3c3d316f73 utensils over 6ec0a14bd8 to the 79fd6f8a00 apartment next 7663d83d17 door.a015d27b48ce7993

So, the eggs he periodically stocked in his otherwise empty refrigerator were mostly for someone else. Cha Minkyu, a big eater befitting his size, used at least three or four eggs for a single egg dish. Even a full carton disappeared quickly, so Minkyu often came over to borrow eggs. Of course, more than half of the borrowed eggs ended up cooked and in Yiho’s stomach.d3e924b1b8b4f40b
Therefore, the unchanging number of eggs in Yiho’s refrigerator meant that Minkyu didn’t have time to cook at home.7aa7f4c1da989e6d

The marketing team had been incredibly busy lately, seemingly preparing for something they’d mentioned at the last team dinner. Even without that, the marketing team was always busy year-round. It was impressive that Minkyu, amidst all that, still managed to take care of his home life.344dda3abb6b1bf5

Yiho wanted to take a picture to keep, but he wasn’t confident he could do it discreetly, and he had no excuse to offer if caught. The “I’ve liked you for a long time” excuse had been forfeited years ago.e792af86af769609

Today, Minkyu showed only his stiff Team Leader Cha persona, not the usual playful one Yiho was used to. He was in and out of meeting rooms all day, and just as Yiho thought he might finally get a break near lunchtime, Minkyu’s phone rang. His expression darkened further, worse than it had been all day.ec54ac9139488cd8
Something must be wrong… As Yiho wondered, Minkyu strode towards him.1f8301655de69dd6

Like the eggs in his refrigerator, the rice cakes had become the Cha siblings’ domain. Yiho retrieved a steamer, also a gift from his mother, filled it with frozen rice cakes, and turned on the heat.

Even though he no longer enjoyed eating them, the smell still evoked a sense of nostalgia.4d6256edc4ff1f28
Yiho had witnessed almost every stage of Minjeong’s growth, from her 100th-day celebration to her first birthday. Perhaps that was why she was so attached to him, his presence as constant as the smell of steaming rice cakes in her eight years of life.66e1624ad8cc17e6

Unsurprisingly, in 9fd6075b9c the domain 1711ea6202 of an 574c7414f5 adult more 2f9a66d352 comfortable with ca355a7695 typing than 38fc40321b handwriting, writing f1af07f9e5 utensils were 5e1c431d91 scarce.

Thus, the two stepped out, reaching the other apartment after five steps for Yiho and ten for Minjeong. The door code was Minkyu’s old locker combination with “12” added at the end. For someone so meticulous, he was surprisingly careless with important things like his door code… Yiho entered the apartment with Minjeong.468faab0c2c9fd29

Even though they lived next door, they mostly frequented each other’s living rooms and kitchens, rarely venturing into bedrooms or studies. Thanks to Minjeong, he was getting a closer look at the spaces he’d only glimpsed from the doorway.b3004372d036f6d2
Minkyu’s desk was the opposite of his own. Books and printed materials were neatly arranged, and the monitor, mouse, and keyboard were spotless. Even the pens and pencils in the holder were arranged by size. Unlike Yiho’s desk, he could tell at a glance that the Jelly Jelly Roll pencils weren’t there.d961e535df7367bb

He’s nineteen years older than his parents and twenty-five years older than his sister.470cd550f879f0f4

Yiho needlessly tapped 0ab0fcdba0 his fingers on 8d437a4772 the keyboard. However, as Minkyu f661ecdc83 continued to stare 2f68b90106 at him intently, 710583712f he finally got 929d52f401 up.5b6c7bcf8d62d479

Minkyu’s afternoon was spent being summoned here and there, being scolded, chewed out, and cleaning up the mess. As the tedious process neared closing time, it felt like the holes had been patched up, albeit haphazardly. The last thing Yiho saw of Minkyu before leaving work was him on the phone with one hand and moving the mouse with the other. He couldn’t even exchange a glance with Minkyu and just packed up his things.295ea1c06aa6dbc6
