Once again, Jungwoo look around before deciding to end his gloves shopping and he already pick enough for his daily needs. He has this kind of attitude of keeps misplacing his small things and ended up losing them aside from his phone. Because of that, his mom scold him often but this attitude never change.

There's one thing can only made him confident. Is it, his love for his Yukhei will never gone. 

Darn, that's a bit cheesy.

Jungwoo stopped walking when something gets inside his mind, since he’s already here, why not check the book store and look for some new manga? Who knows? Maybe, there’s another exciting books got released and they’re already there? He misses reading manga because these days, Yukhei has his time so Jungwoo had no time to read.

On his way, his eyes became sparkly as he saw that his guess was right.

There are many of them.

“Oh my god, they have books from webtoon too. I’m broke!” he whines while his eyes were fixated at the books inside and his eyes can’t stop exploring.
“How I wish I have my own money to buy them all.” He pouted and poked every books he wanted to buy.

“It seems you still love reading mangas more than English language books.” Someone spoke behind him and Jungwoo nodded, signing that he truly agrees to that statement.

“Yes that’s right- excuse me, what?” Jungwoo after realizing what just he heard and how some stranger knew that, then turn his head to look that someone who just interrupted him.

His eyes widened.

What the actual ?

“J-Johnny s-sunbae?” he mumbled then scan the other’s whole figure from his head to toe. He almost didn’t recognized him. He became taller, and handsome.

“Hello Jungwoo.” Then he smiled and wink. “I almost didn’t recognize you too.”

So, he’s a mind reader now?

At this moment, Jungwoo felt his body was frozen at his spot. He actually stiffened and it seems like the dark past that he buried for the past years get up on its own and slowly walking to him and now, he’s here. Standing right in front of him.

It feels like a dream. 

The memory filled his head and Jungwoo started to remember all his embarrassing and stupid acts back then when he’s in love with Johnny head over heels and his willingly to give himself to the latter.

Why now? He just got over to those horrible memory of his immature acts and now, Johnny is here? 

What a life.

When Johnny was about to say something, Jungwoo dropped the basket he was carrying wherein, the gloves that he was about to buy were compact inside, and he made his way to escape to the situation. 

And yes, he run away again. (Not even thinking about the gloves that he was going to buy because he’s not in his right mind.)

This time, not to Yukhei.

But to his first crush that he used to love.

Jungwoo couldn’t face him because until now, he feel ashamed.

“I’m doomed!”

“Jaehyun! Open the door!”

Jaehyun almost fall from the couch at the sound knocking outside his door, more like a banged because the way it sound, Jaehyun can feel that he’s hitting the door really hard.

“What the Jungwoo. Aish.” Jaehyun whines because he’s doing some important business here then Jungwoo will interrupt and appear here without telling him. That’s absurd!

“What now?” Jaehyun appeared without putting something thick or shirt on his top and his fine looking abs can be seen too, Jaehyun then glance Jungwoo in disbelief but it turned into confusion when he noticed that Jungwoo looks paler than him. “And what happened to you?”

“Can we talk inside?” 

“Will you be okay inside?”

“Of course, it’s so much okay inside than here. Why did you came out like that? Dude its freaking cold!”

“I’m in the middle my heating session, I wanted to thank you for coming. For real and seriously.” Jaehyun spoke sarcastically then stared the younger blankly. “Come in.” he added and Jungwoo followed him inside his apartment.

This is the second time of Jungwoo’s eyes growing wider after he finally gets inside Jaehyun’s apartment. More on, he’s not expecting this kind of situation. “T-Taeyong hyung?” He muttered and his voice sounded like he couldn’t believe what just he saw. Taeyong is not wearing any top too, he’s only wearing a boxer.

“Hi Jungwoo.” He smiled and wave his little hands. 

So, this is what he actually meant for his heating session? More on, his oh-so-called priorities? Jungwoo thought that he was just taking a coffee while wrapping a thick blanket around his body and locked himself here alone.

On the second thought, Jaehyun is not him at all. Of course he’ll do more interesting things than what he actually doing at this cold days.

“I’m going to dress up.”  He heard Taeyong whispered to Jaehyun’s ear and bite the younger’s earlobe after and he made his way into Jaehyun’s room and it made Jungwoo cringe. It will be good if it was Yukhei and him. (Kidding!)

Jungwoo decide to ignore that. It will be uncomfortable to ask about them today so, it’s better to ask later.

“So? What’s the deal? You can spill the beans now.” He said after putting a shirt.

“You know J-Johhny sunbae, right?” Jungwoo spoke gradually.

“Your first love? What about him?”

“He’s not my first love!” Jungwoo hissed. “They said, first love is about someone you love who have the same feelings towards you and Johnny sunbae wasn’t like that before so basically, it’s one sided.” He stated.

“Alright. So what’s about him?”

“Actually, we happen to see each other today.” 

Jaehyun’s eyebrow furrowed and his eyes grew wider too. “You what?!” he shrieked.

“You said he moved to Chicago right? But what is he doing here?”

“Why are you asking me though? You just informed me, so basically I don’t know either. He haven’t contacted us yet. So that’s why you look devastated?” Then Jaehyun chuckle. “So what’s your plan now? He’s already here.”

“I seriously don’t know what to do. I just wish that we will not bump to each other and what happened earlier is the last.”

The older his lips and look at the younger critically. “The way I see it, this is not the last time that your paths will cross. So, you need to do something. You didn’t tell Yukhei about this right?”

Jungwoo bit his nail and dropped his gaze on his feet then he slowly shook his head. “Not yet. I thought it’s not important thing already.”

“It’s important thing Jungwoo-yah. Since you’re already in relationship with Yukhei, you can’t hide things from him.” said Taeyong when he appeared out of the room and thankfully, he
