Min Jeong's POV

For the rest of the time I was there, I could not stop looking at Seungho.

"What?" He asked suddenly, looking at me with a frown.

"I.. No.. Just.." I mumbled.

"I am not an animal. Stop staring." He said.

"Sorry." I said softly.

I watch as he went over to Kiki who was asleep on the couch.

"Kiki~" He called out in a gentle voice.

Kiki opened his eyes slowly, yawning.

"Hyung~~" He rubbed his eyes.

"Wakey~ I am closing up the place. I'll take you home." He said.

"Ughhh~ No. I can manage." Kiki said.

He tried to stand up but stumbled.

"Tsk~ Look at you~" Seungho said.

"Hee~" Kiki smiled, his eyes disappearing.

"Does he stay far away?" I asked.

"Just a couple of blocks away. Why?" He asked.

"I can help you take him home." I offered.

He frowned at me.

"If you don't trust me with his address, then maybe you can take him home while I look over your store." I suggested.

"I can handle both on my own. Just leave." He said coldly.

"Fine! You're so awesome that you need no help at all. So be it!" I said. I shoved my belongings into my bag and left the store.

The moment I left the store, I regretted my actions, but my pride did not allow me to go back inside.

Seungho's POV

I sighed as I watch her stormed out of the cafe. I never meant for things to turn out this way.

"Go home safely." I muttered, staring at the glass door.

I went on to continue closing up the store.

"Kiki~" I called out, shaking his shoulders gently.

He opened his eyes, looking at me blankly.

"Let's go." I said, supporting his weight.

He groaned, muttering something I could not make out.

"So much for feeling better~" I said as I dragged him out of the store.

"Sit here while I lock the shutter." I said, making him sit down.

"My head hurts~" He whimpered, banging his head against the pillar.

"Don't do that!" I scolded him as I locked the shutter.

After that, I grabbed my bag before pulling him up.

"Lean against me." I said, and he did.

"Not all your weight!!" I yelled when he lean against me entirely, causing me to fall against the pillar.

"Hyung~~~" He groaned, banging his head against my chest.

"Aish~" I supported his weight by his waist and dragged him along.

"Are you sick or drunk?" I grumbled.

It was so difficult to walk while dragging this lump of muscle. I almost tripped a few times and even thought of just sleeping on the street with him.

"Do you need some help?" A voice from behind me asked.

I turned to find Min Jeong looking at me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I mean, I thought you left." I hurriedly corrected myself.

"Answer my question. Do you want some help or not?" She asked.

"I.. I.. Okay." I sighed.

She let out a small smile before supporting half of Kikwang's weight. Together, we managed to get him home fast.

***
"Thank you so much, Seungho." His mother said as she sent us out.

"No worries. It's nothing." I said.

While in the lift, I turned to Min Jeong who had her eyes fixed on the door.

"Erm..." I broke the silence.

"Hmm?" She turned to look at me.

"Thank you." I said.

"Don't mention." She said.

When we arrived at the ground level, I followed behind her as we headed out.

"I... I erm.. I am going this way." I pointed to the left when we were outside.

"Really?" She asked.

What an odd question.

"Yes." I answered anyway.

"Well, you can go that way later on. But now, you're coming this way." She said, grabbing my hand and dragging me along.

"Hey!!!" I was surprised by her actions.

"Where are we going!?" I asked.

"Shhhh~ You don't own the streets." She said, pressing her finger against my lips to silence me.

Min Jeong's POV

I cannot help but laugh at how adorable he looks when in shock.

"Just know I am not going to sell you off." I said, winking at him on purpose.

I laughed louder when he looked away awkwardly.

"Come on~" I gestured him to follow me.

I thought he would take the chance to run away, but instead he followed behind me obediently.

"Why are we here?" He asked when I gestured him to sit down on the bench.

"Please don't look so scared." I said.

"I am not." He said, but his expression told otherwise.

"He should be coming soon." I muttered to.myself as I look around.

"Who?" He asked.

"The delivery.. Ah! There!!" I jumped and waved at the guy on the motorbike.

"Min Jeong sshi?" The guy asked as he stopped the bike.

"Yeap!" I answered.

"Where should I leave these?" He asked.

"Just there will do!" I said, pointing at the space next to Seungho.

After he settled down the food I ordered, I paid him and turned to find Seungho staring at me with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"What's... all these?" He asked.

"Food!" I said.

"I know! I mean, why?" He asked.

"Ermmm~ To eat?" I asked.

He looked at me, not saying anything.

"Eat up before the food turns cold!" I said, handing him the plate and cutleries.

"Eat!" I urged him again, putting food on his plate.

"But... Is it because you think you ate my dinner? It's not like that." He said.

I sighed and looked at him.

"It's not. I am hungry but I don't want to finish all the food on my own. So would you please share the fats with me? You could afford it, couldn't you? You're so thin!" I said.

He looked at me with the doubtful look.

"Oh my goodness! Just eat!!" I shoved a slice of pizza into his mouth.

His eyes widened, but he started eating anyway. Since he was shy to take food on his own, I kept piling food on his plate.

"How is this sharing the fats? I'm like taking 90% of the fats." He grumbled.

I laughed out loud at his statement.

"You could afford it!" I said.

He puffed his cheeks. His eyes widened when I unconsciously pinched his cheek.

“Sor… sorry!” I apologized quickly.

He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, continuing to eat.

“Damn!” He exclaimed suddenly.

“What!?” I asked, surprised.

“What’s the time now!?” He asked, literally pulling my wrist towards him to look at the time on my watch.

“I need to pick Aeri! I need to pick Aeri!” He wiped his hands all over his pants.

“Hey, hey! Use this.” I said, handing him tissue.

“Thank you for the food!” He said hurriedly as he grabbed the tissue from me.

“Okay, okay. Don’t mention it. Go, go, go.” I said.

“Thank you, thank you.” He bowed.

“Alright. I get it. Just go.” I said.

“Bye!” He waved and ran off.

“Be careful!” I shouted.

I was confused when he turned and ran back towards me.

“What is it?” I asked.

“WRONG WAY!” He said as he ran passed me cutely.

I could not help but burst into laughter.

“DON’T LAUGH! IT’S BECAUSE IT IS DARK!” He yelled back, puffing his cheeks again.

How is it that he is so cute?

Seungho’s POV

“Sweetheart, where are you?” I asked, walking into my room lazily.

I saw a ball-like figure hidden underneath my blanket.

“Ahh~ Where’s my Aeri? Did she disappear?” I asked, knowing it was her.

“Is my Aeri under the bed?” I asked.

She moved a little, letting out a soft chuckle.

“Maybe she’s in the wardrobe?” I asked again.

“Or maybe…” I crept closer to the bed.

“Just maybe…” I said.

“Maybe my sweetheart is here!” I grabbed her.

She screamed and laughed as I cradled her in my arms.

“Silly bunny~” I said, snuggling my face into her stomach.

“Appa!” She squealed, biting my shirt.

“Aigoo~ Why are you biting my shirt?” I asked, taping her lips lightly.

She bit my finger instead.

“Let me bite you too!” I .

She covered my mouth, not letting me bite her. I let her go wild for a little while more before coaxing her to sleep. I had no choice but to let her sleep against my chest because she was gripping onto my shirt tightly.

As I felt her heartbeat against my chest, I was reminded of the foolish thing I did to her before.

“I’m sorry, Aeri ah~ I’m sorry for what I have did to you before.” I said, planting a kiss on the top of her head.
