“Yongguuuk!” Himchan called out, “Wake up!”

Yongguk almost fell off of his bed. He looked puzzled, wondering how he got into his apartment.

“How’d you get in here?” He asked. He rubbed his eyes, still trying to figure out the situation.

“The door was unlocked, so I came in~!” Himchan exclaimed, “I also made breakfast!”

“Oh, really? Thanks,” Yongguk put on his glasses. “What did you make for breakfast?”

“It’s almost been a month already, huh?”

“Yeah,” Yongguk said, playing with his fingers.

“I’ve never been in a relationship that lasted this long.” He looked down, mirroring Yongguk’s gesture.

“Really?” Yongguk asked, “So you
