It didn't take long to clean Youngjae's room, it seemed like it gets cleaned regularly, so cleaning it wasn't too terribly difficult. As if on cue, Youngjae walked in a minute after I was finished.

A smile appeared on his lips for a moment, but the smile in his eyes seemed to stay longer. "It looks good. Thank you. Do you have any more work to do?" He asked.
