3 missed calls.

Choi Minho’s handphone screen lit up for the third time. He immediately knew who it was but the caller had to wait. Just a few more minutes.

Minho was busy inserting the last clips for the video he was editing. In his peripheral vision, he could see his handphone screen flashing as the calls were made but he needed to finish his work in less than 30 minutes.

30 minutes. He can wait.

Despite reassuring himself this, worries continue to flood his thoughts. Luckily, video editing is like second nature to him or he wouldn't be able to focus while having troublesome thoughts that couldn't wait for later.

Minho checked the time while he finally uploaded his work. 5 minutes left. He impatiently watched the numbers counting up his screen. He wondered why every time one is in a hurry, the uploads would be deliberately slow as if testing his patience, which, with him is close to non-existent.

Their unique friendship started when they were very young at a daycare center. Both of Kibum's parents were busy with work so they couldn't leave him home alone. One day his mother found a daycare center near the hospital she worked at so she decided to bring Kibum there.

Young boys at the center would play with all the boys' toys leaving nothing for him to play with. So, instead, he would just sit in a corner, grab some crayons and draw on the table.
