Autumn is almost over. It is also about a couple of months since Seungcheol and him broke up. Waking up, Seungcheol groans and sits up, slightly stretching his arms. He looks around his room with his eyes.

A short petite figure came running around his room. Seungcheol was fast enough to catch the peach-head, wrapping his arms around his waist and planting a soft kiss on the shorter’s neck.  The peach-head lets out a very soft giggle “Why do you always end up catching me? “.

“I told you to always wear a scarf around your neck” he reminded the shorter.  “Mianhe. I was in a rush. I can’t be late when it comes to meeting you.” The younger flashed a small smile enough for the older to give in. He removed his white scarf and put it around the younger’s neck. “Cheolie, I’m fine. You don’t have to do this.” Jihoon slightly whined. “Aniyo..Look at you. You have colds again. You need to feel a bit more warm” and with that, he draped an arm on the shorter’s shoulders and
