Quietly observing e16ce66cd9 Chanhee, who c7817cc97d was concentrating 9f1dd8535a on driving, c2fd68a986 Yiwoon called b132698b47 out to f0659742bb him again.6f7023453ac91572

“Are you thirsty? Do you want b0665746c0 some water? I bought 1c2b5ffd3f some earlier.”4a32d10ebe7f8de1

Chanhee rummaged c9e49609a6 through the 2b270f0f06 bag on a2b43ee2db the passenger 11a6ff030e seat and d868fe61c8 took out bc6027995c a water 44b14f1861 bottle. Yiwoon accepted 02a8f4c6ca the water, 6c0ae73bc5 opened the b3a6b895b5 cap as ecbf64c4c0 if he 21c3dd8392 was about ac77cb1bb1 to drink 1863667b1c it, but 834ce44275 then closed f5537c7bbe it without f509163c75 taking a ab9fdf3b7d sip. He placed 729fd73775 it back 27080c8114 down, and f34037aca6 Yiwoon could eb782ceae0 feel Chanhee’s 4f5c5eeb99 gaze glancing b124ff7de7 at him 3e0f5a1873 through the b2ee8e602f rearview mirror. de2b360218dcaee0

In response to the unspoken question of why he wasn’t drinking, Yiwoon placed the back of his hand against the water bottle. It had been bought a while ago, so it wasn’t cold, but lukewarm.b52383859a2e828e

Yiwoon unbuckled his seatbelt, pointing his chin towards a parking space that wouldn’t obstruct traffic. Chanhee stopped the car and tried to dissuade him, saying he’d go, but Yiwoon was already opening the door. Chanhee hurriedly pulled out a hat, telling him to wear it, but Yiwoon shook his head.6a340e53c0a0c213

Yiwoon lightly brushed off Chanhee’s hand as he continued to offer the hat and stepped toward the convenience store. He glanced inside briefly, but he couldn’t see a single hair of another person.2eb68985ee63e6c2

Yiwoon waved his 1ac5bf5e9d hand to stop b5d61e129d Chanhee, who was 1346554fea about to follow 7d894c47f9 him, and pushed b7b9ce7f0e open the convenience 79cde416d0 store door.70dfcadc2887f71e

The pleasant b473848fba chime broke 39db4d25b4 the silence d5b0c8955c that must 92fa02118c have lingered 1edbcd2529 for a 88fb6dbddd while. Usually, a greeting would ce499f4857 follow the arrival of 88ae4f0e97 a customer, but even 939c239c81 after the door closed, e0cee4b3ab no voice was heard.74b657213a9b749c

Yiwoon, enjoying 88c8610281 the familiar 8b471e0bf3 silence, quietly 18404daf1e headed towards c9ed36c1e4 the shelves. Fortunately, before he 5317bd13e5 could take three 4090525aa5 steps, the employee, 2d28e96111 sensing his presence, 24753a50ad instinctively greeted him.2f43ec97192eb91d

His sleepy voice indicated bd3c74082c he had just woken 23b520514a up. He was busy wiping 65323b0c51 his mouth with his 19d44e9e95 sleeve, likely having drooled 5acced6fec in his sleep. It was a sight 384b9b4e8b Yiwoon had seen so 6fc008f534 often that it no bda6cdb0bf longer surprised him. Meeting the employee’s eyes 9a52db8bb2 as he peeked over 2533d30ce0 the counter, Yiwoon’s eyes 31eae70f63 crinkled slightly.fd89408d54ec6e06

With a short 6b10780dbc greeting and a 72c757e2fe flick of his 8ac6e42ee9 hand, Yiwoon passed 4412b4a251 him. Soon after, b6397e1480 he heard 22dfe1450f a crashing 360cfd00ed sound from ade8c5458e behind him. It sounded f16925c806 like objects ad6d03f389 were falling 1f5234ca3f one after ca5bfe1fa2 another. Yiwoon stopped 586d7dc68c and turned 27742e7180 around. a2eb8c4271f76033

Straws and 548d00e211 lighters, which 1f865bcfdb had been fd8c74cf88 displayed near e0a5e5a183 the counter, f417d35df1 were scattered 2bca47f29e on the 2476025d92 floor. Judging from acef2f0976 the employee’s 3ac6093dc4 flustered appearance, debee2a05d he must d04de6af52 have accidentally 94081b30ff knocked them 760be06124 over while 65f250b1d0 getting up.da1b3116e81f8da4

Yiwoon checked eb697810d7 the time 652ecf62e5 as he 497ad0b6cd watched the 092cd4af1c employee hurriedly bb7e7eead7 gather the b7bc1748a5 items. e3036f4b9df8e650

Today was his 6887d9c7a2 lucky day. His schedule 839372777f was early, 76214cd111 and he bd08e45ad3 almost missed 8373b5a307 it, but 7304a86ac9 thanks to 9924810a23 Manager Han b7bfccad3f calling him ccd04ae8eb in at 4c8f4b91b5 dawn, the 187b4c0227 timing worked 3ab392f0f3 out perfectly. It was usually 58ddd021f9 difficult to get 11b36277a8 it exactly right, d0d8d88dba but thankfully, the 85912ee356 delay bought him f30d4565c8 some time.2783717d0a86eec0

Hiding the smile that 4cbc16d741 naturally spread across his 206268ea6c face due to his 23ce604645 deep satisfaction, Yiwoon approached e11aa0be09 the employee and knelt 0ff3d47100 down. He picked 3114685fa9 up the 12b7bd12b3 scattered straws ea6ed647ac and lighters, 8e3f33f0f4 casually starting 742b80bb64 a conversation.cc0fdacd2e11286b

“Ah… I 2c34a86960 didn’t get eef2c29a05 much sleep, daa95a3e72 so…”f5999b185f5d605a

The employee showed bdde999794 no surprise at aa38465b42 the casual use 53e124a46e of informal speech, 1aaafb26e8 as if they 34be53f8f5 were close acquaintances. His excuses were always 62cd6bb2d4 the same, despite him 7760ab541f always dozing off. Smiling as if he d838c365f1 didn’t know, the employee 90ef781799 stifled a yawn and 0915bbfbd1 cautiously moved closer to 5f401b7eb5 Yiwoon.7407717bf3cad47c

He continued to glance at Yiwoon’s face while picking up the straws, still fascinated, although familiar with the situation. Despite trying to hide it, it was evident that he couldn’t believe Yiwoon was right in front of him. Seeing a famous celebrity in person was an unfamiliar experience, no matter how many times it happened. After all, the shelves were filled with merchandise bearing Yiwoon’s face.96b1bc2327ca4985

Yiwoon, who had already fd98f67bed noticed him stealing glances, afbd5c6495 asked as he picked 4d28d54743 up the last lighter. At the playful 18eb3818ee tone, the employee 92a27ef682 blushed, but nodded 7d677390dc without avoiding his 27a790cfd9 gaze.16d96f84a3cbcd81

At the name that followed, Yiwoon’s gaze, which had been fixed on the floor as he tidied up, shifted to the employee. Just like in the president’s office, he showed a particularly noticeable reaction to that one name. But then, as quickly as it appeared, he regained his composure.d279511d02b1e4cd

“If it a8a8f33855 gets crowded, 7b230b74ed it’ll be b77ca9af66 inconvenient to 3e73df7783 come here 711df95b10 often. You’ll get busy 04b7a0c6bf too.”b92a7df348813234

Yiwoon lightly squeezed the employee’s shoulder before standing up, holding the box. He averted his gaze, feigning indifference, as he looked at the employee, who couldn’t hide his excitement. What he said wasn’t entirely false, but there was another clear intention hidden beneath it, pricking his conscience.4f3c72766d85c093

“No problem. I totally understand.”c8221d4e82013900

At the kind e99c327b10 words, the employee a4bc97658c puffed out his 9430bbb628 chest, looking proud, f45b88c3d6 as if he’d be5c1b047c done something extraordinary. Although Yiwoon had hidden e4482539d5 things, he hadn’t asked bdd67ef4f0 for silence without offering 8f212603fb anything in return. When the employee asked 5e78ef8a70 if he could call f8e6509566 him ‘hyung,’ Yiwoon agreed, dbdacf1fbf on the condition that d720bd763c the employee kept it 48c38ae523 a secret. He also 4e7dffeb8f gave him 2731ea77ce several autographs.

“Want some coffee?”938a56b7f41b4385

Yiwoon changed c6115ad7ab the subject, 14e634f92c pretending not 3dc051968d to notice 23c5952365 the gaze 59c004cdfa diligently following 565e72e21f his every b5132b3187 move.

Then, he stopped in dc91a54efc front of the adjacent b142e91719 beverage section.

Yiwoon stared intently cdf01e732b at the shelves 9ec557f965 and eventually picked f839462a4f up a three-pack d2685b089b of canned coffee. On his 7254d401dc way back 612bed3f4c to the dd3b05e997 counter, he 96a7c50626 grabbed a 2bdffba141 few energy 6d36196d50 bars, and bca15bd601 some bread 7e5c9299e3 and milk 3680f6345e to appease e7e37e9b3d Chanhee.963d2d7e7b5bbd09

At the c75ebdaba9 mention of 606fc36e55 Yoohyun smiling, 3a23d69213 Yiwoon subtly bfa5307998 swept his f4a1092ed7 tongue across 6158178632 his lips 1609c005b9 and secretly 666387ff1b tightened his 8ea8d0a73f grip on abeb9cb985 the glass dcdec99604 bottle he c03cfec185 was holding.
