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.’e754b6e82eb19a52
These were 2b61a1e327 the words 12dc855d71 Yiwoon had heard repeatedly 8bc7ee1176 from Manager e85728016c Han since 8b70dcb748 he started e1c0860ab9 working in the entertainment 0481243c3a industry. They were 8be2aabeec also the words his 674a773b9e mother had bed5b6d6af instilled in him every night before c229095499 bed since f52ceeb60a he was 5d6f9c7a37 young.d15fc957e9c84b54

Rumors could 3389c76ed5 be distorted b13feb2697 in any 24fa7f0597 way, and 85f4b434d4 later, words he hadn’t 7900a2bb88 even spoken would be 5c1534556f attributed to 773b2a6918 him. Even if he felt 15bbde70ff wronged, it was the 664326be8a responsibility of the person 13070678e5 who initially spoke to 71f6226329 clean up the mess. People were only interested 13e4409f9f in condemning the false e498c27976 rumors, and they paid 4b4e2eef55 no attention to explanations. Therefore, he 6cabf7d696 always had 8bc95e82ad to think 377d968cdc carefully before b27d2f19c7 saying anything 2145be9e38 he couldn’t 5930ae981e take back.8bd78262c7137579
Yiwoon agreed 5c2a6f2afb with this 7c03dc9670 principle, but 09f6ff9c22 sometimes he 12be7d4482 wished that ece80dec7c others, unlike 02a574fc03 himself, would 688bc2fb8c remain ignorant 3cea0f27c6 of certain f03c25f67c things. There was nothing cf04465b3f more convenient than ca285636c5 getting the information 19eaa3a74e he needed through 9d0b5d4aaf someone else.

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.cd6a02bcd9f0d9f1

‘……Choi Yoohyun?’
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.d1eba4b95e34acd9

“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…”f61843c45ab9eeee
The information the employee 2bc7d7185e shared, based 3006e76c94 on what e1d1eb699e he had 325486ac0b seen and 04719ee013 heard, was 4f5b6a370b valuable information 65241abbc1 not easily 11d6ebad9e obtainable elsewhere. From then 5088bb3384 on, Yiwoon 946340b30a made every c5efbd7b02 effort to 59d218b92a make time b41196e867 to visit the convenience 947fbec70d store at a set f612cdcd0e time, each f92a5f55da day. If he didn’t 023d50db61 have an early f935501b2d morning schedule, he ab9ea0f76e would even deliberately ffde9fbb03 make time to 2aaaa6e3c5 visit.61492dc57201896e

Even with such efforts, 061a665a80 it was difficult to 950d573972 see Yoohyun every day. The employee had 5e604b7751 said he came 822a564fe1 often, but not every day. If he had filming, 6109b9e7fd making personal time was 12bf16a241 next to impossible. For the chance of 4f04e04a6e a single encounter, Yiwoon 44e9c00059 squeezed out his nonexistent 454a24c725 time.9c0ac8388b29019b
The kindness Yiwoon extended, fbee58e5d3 with a clear purpose, revolved around one person. Even the 04caf94ce7 shortcut to 25be22745f avoid the congested roads eb4563325e had been ff00c5deb7 Yiwoon’s suggestion.
“Anyway, thanks again 17b9eec2bb for the drinks d61178c7e1 today. I appreciate it.”6f820c48a8ee2618
“No problem. I’ll get c694e42bc8 going now. Good work.”

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.8d6630da92892695
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.438010102266ec12

Left with cb5fea0bf4 no choice, 2af45c1293 he got e451af2c81 into the f825920836 car and, bc1127e138 before Chanhee 9ad9133e1f could open 2c87fcc52b his mouth, Yiwoon abruptly cddf99c242 held out cd370109ec the snacks 1c5bf91cad he was 6d2621e774 holding. The lips 503e0c2a15 that were 14b4ea55c7 about to unleash a 9ee4c18e77 nagging closed d04e50b3c4 quietly at 9fe11e97a2 the unexpected 0ba0c944ca gift. Having swiftly taken e2b01a0399 the initiative, Yiwoon 2103b17233 spoke before Chanhee f532acfa9a could react.e698e96ccd5ef96c

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.205292748d31a1cc
“You bought de33a6d8a2 these for 48c4e0ebb4 me?”1aa5a0cdccd8c650
He seemed overly pleased d8d25fe92d with a simple snack, 5b70646f06 his reaction almost excessively fe184e6fd3 grateful. Sometimes, he had to 4b0506c060 offer these act of 230f7c91e0 kindness to steer things 311de412b2 in his desired direction. Yiwoon could act as 20be7f5290 if this was nothing, pushing forward shamelessly, so b8124a45b3 he nodded with a 5b7a9b9cd3 matching smile.58b6f2dd321e2156

Yiwoon smoothly cut off 99fc8bb982 the line where concern a4560d016d was about to turn 8e966390e5 into nagging, leaning back 07e8fe03b0 against the seat. He looked refreshed, as a91669b329 if he had completed af2b7b1669 all his tasks. As he closed ed505b70b1 his eyes, gently relaxing his tense 997c1a3194 muscles, a figure b6eecd1bb6 wearing a black d3c6ed657e hat passed by 1933b30c6c the window.3327491ed2ef2a83
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.633e14dd05074005

Not long d8afa556dd after the bb12006033 car carrying badc27aebb Yiwoon left f9bc3d01f0 the convenience store, a 62f4a2fecc pleasant chime 77590a0b03 rang out 05ff23b2bc again. The employee 01dfedc07e sitting at 0ce5b93a3e the counter, a820beae0a sipping the dd07e680ad coffee Yiwoon had left 45ba51a21b behind, let 8e6cadd7cc out a 4084e8215a short exclamation. Spotting the man entering the convenience store, he greeted him brightly with 4e3e753aa4 noticeably clearer eyes.

At the 755a6953e3 ear-splitting greeting, the man edcbb88e9c lowered his 56a540fe63 head and 6dce409373 frowned imperceptibly. The overly energetic 07305b034a greeting, more so 7cd7e93612 than usual, was c6e4023c0d not very welcome. His ears, sensitive to bd3fdc3988 even small sounds, perceived 7cfc832e8c the greeting as noise 85a8906ddb rather than a welcome.398f8ad29d8f5033
He wanted to 5b77bc7ba3 pretend he hadn’t heard it, but it was simply 122dd177b0 too loud to e1e7ae7fa8 ignore. After a 099abda751 brief hesitation, 4d1939909e the man raised his 702365fc71 head.

“I have a lot f347105229 to give you. You seem to 438712d9ce have good fortune d84b129d77 with food.”46c4e3895cb7ce0d
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.c2c7f54db4a1988f
Because he 00ca0c758b kept lowering 2e40994352 his head 99ad0d3bca to hide his expression, 9bc89e7aa9 his hat d56c525aca obstructed his c9bda437ef view. After confirming 7794ca02d0 that no c422d6f378 one was 365cccc125 around, Yoohyun 2446e873a2 took off his hat. As he brushed c820d6dedc his well-maintained, soft hair back with 96de683885 his hand, his b0d2f3eee3 unusually pale face was revealed. Because his face was f387d4f3d9 so small, his distinct eyes and high nose, 80ac04344d hidden when he wore his hat, immediately caught 95371039c4 the employee’s attention.ecf7c017e50f7e94

While it 30e09d2ad1 was a 55494c69bb fairly common 8c58ca5aee combination, it 6bf32351b0 was still 03a4a9471a surprising every 90b3e6f810 time. Yoohyun’s spotless skin 631cbbe0af was so fair 258ec41c4b it was almost fbeec3cbd8 pale. He looked as though he might collapse at 5dd7f161c2 any moment, but the 5ddaeddbb0 healthy flush on his 0e93d399fe plumo lips and smooth ec1b924438 cheeks made him appear lively.8037be39cebb4ad9
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.f5c19dfbc96b05d8

“I restocked bdcc81478a the drink d62f8d8809 shelves as soon as 111a050dfe I got b7cc6eb2e4 to work, dc73a76af7 thinking you 06bcd76ebf might come.”fccba8bd630b5d72
“…Thank you.”4a16dc172e7992e2
Yoohyun nodded and expressed 5f355d7725 his gratitude in response 8413ebf2cb to the 6d3cd9e22a tone that 37faf41adc clearly sought 0382b709d4 praise. In such 834e29b58d situations, giving 1e6d60e79a the other 41d4f5a494 person what 984078c3ef they wanted 62c93fe820 was the 3434bda85f quickest way 4bf0e29225 to end the interaction. Fortunately, the bc02787b33 employee, as df03636905 if finding something to 009c12bed2 do, turned 36c27acda0 and headed 26adc13ab1 busily towards d7c86dd511 the storage 690c0ea37e room.a16a98badd22b72a
Having secured 56a3678589 a chance da022a33df to escape, 3aefdcb3e6 Yoohyun quickly 4f9c6fb368 walked towards 8daf3c47aa the drink bb61883ccb aisle, lest 3fd9a10c55 he be ad847a4add caught.

The newly stocked 765246d8c6 shelves were emptied ae9705d842 in a few 51324a5bca sweeps of Yoohyun’s b56d39dcbd hand. Unable to overcome the drowsiness from lack of 80cd05bcec sleep, he picked up 786116af9d drinks at random. It was a fdf18f6860 sort of habit, 6e75f11405 so the type 0fb8a4367e didn’t matter. By the 7b16a03f72 time he aa44ad5cbe came to 2c6e77962c his senses, 8d1d5995ad he was c3c0eabd99 holding an 08bc125cfb armful of 69cd8bf927 drinks, overflowing 6665d448c4 to his 96605a1bab hands. Since putting them back 172fd7a48a was too much trouble, Yoohyun simply continued walking.9211d30a063206cb
Dumping the canned ff7fd6dda1 coffee and various 754b2fd5e4 caffeinated drinks onto 8be409c1c8 the counter, Yoohyun b3c8aa7525 moved to another 59456d9632 aisle. Only after clearing out the energy bars he 7a87c19bb5 usually ate did he 8e66d146a9 stand before the counter 032b9a547a with a satisfied expression.a5804c348b534dbc

“But if you 23ed6e437a buy this much 588fa9c9f5 every time, do you drink it ba468b74af all yourself? Or are you sharing b39848fd7d it with someone?”
The employee, busily scanning 38b631c6c5 the barcodes, tilted his 0317ae9d5e head and asked. It was a question born of 8a16036218 pure curiosity, 83d8ce5a5e without any 714c3fdf8a other intention. Yoohyun responded 886d4f864b with a d1374ca0b1 simple nod. Since the question c375fd5dbb contained two parts, 18db7bcbdf the answer was ambiguous, prompting the 095b6a1979 clueless employee to 166ccc0ea2 ask again.c8d8350b22bbb0dc

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.
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.
