Chapter 2   “So... Did you like them?” Donghae asked, staring at his best friend questioningly. Hyukjae and Jongwoon had just left.; they had stayed over until 11:30 PM.   “Hmm,” Kyuhyun hummed. “But can I go to bed now? I have to work at 6 AM.”   “Oh, yeah, I forgot about that, Goodnight Kyuhyun-ah,” Donghae mumbled softly, and he turned around, slightly disappointed with his friend's reaction. If Kyuhyun didn’t like them, then there was no way Donghae could invite them over again. Kyuhyun was very good at scaring people away, especially if he didn't like them or had no connection with them whatsoever.   Kyuhyun smiled at Donghae’s back; he knew exactly what was going through his best friends mind at this moment. He ran towards Donghae and engulfed him in a back hug. “They were oke, don’t worry,” he said, and he kissed Donghae on his cheek to comfort him.   “Juck!” Donghae exclaimed, rubbing his hand across his cheek, but he did seem slightly happier.   “Goodnight, Donghae,” Kyuhyun said, unwrapping himself from Donghae and running upstairs.     ✭✭✭✭✭     The next morning, Kyuhyun was amazed that he'd made it to work on time. Kyuhyun loved sleeping, and he could sleep through all kinds of sounds if he hadn’t made his regular sleeping hours; even through 3 different alarm clocks simultaneously going off.   Kyuhyun works at the local café. They open at 6 in the morning, and close at 2 in the middle of the night. It is the only hangout place in their village; a place where locals could come to either just sit and relax, to drink some coffee before going to work, or to hang out at with friends during the day/evening. For the real nightlife they have to go to the big city, which is 20 minutes away by car or public transport.   Kyuhyun works as many hours as he possibly can, because he and Donghae need to pay off the house to Donghae’s parents, who had paid for them in advance. Donghae's parents had told them that they could take all the time that they needed, but Kyuhyun didn’t like to be in dept with others. Therefore he wanted to pay off the ‘loan’ as quick as possible.   Aside from his work, Kyuhyun still goes to school. He studies business management and economics. It has always been his dream to have his own company when he is older. And with this education he would learn all the basics that he needs to get his company up and running. Due to his decision to move into the wide world and buying himself a house together with Donghae, he now works part-time and goes to school part-time. It is tough, but do-able.   At 9AM, Kyuhyun noticed someone familiar walking into the café. The man looked around before taking a seat at one of the tables near the window. Kyuhyun sighed and walked over to him.   “You are supposed to order before sitting down.”   “Oh, I didn’t know that, I'm sorry,” the man said, looking up and recognizing Kyuhyun. His confused face turned into a bright smiling one as he said, “Good morning, Cho Kyuhyun.”   Kyuhyun felt weird when the man addressed him with his full name; he was obviously being over-polite. But they didn’t know each other that well yet, so Kyuhyun didn’t mention anything about it. He walked back towards the counter and the man followed him. When Kyuhyun returned to his place behind the counter, he turned to the man who was standing on the other side.   “What can I get for you, mister Kim Jongwoon?” Kyuhyun said, smirking inside. Jongwoon could be overly polite, but Kyuhyun could do much better.   Sadly enough, the other didn’t seem to bother and just ordered some coffee before walking back to his seat. He grabbed a large book out of his bag and started to read, taking a sip of his newly brewed coffee every now and then.   Kyuhyun continued doing his work chores, and when he finally had some free time to talk to Jongwoon, the latter had already left. Kyuhyun slumped down on Jongwoo

Chapter 23: This is such a good story, why did I find this fic just now? 😭
Finished reading the story for like 3.5 hours, cause like I have to stop reading in the middle just to take a deep breathe 😢 Thank you author-nim for writing this story, I like how well written it was– how the emotion of the characters can be felt right through, how well expressed it was as if (the readers) were the one who experienced the situation.
Kudos 💙

Chapter 21: It actually took me days to reach chapter 19 because the story was just to depressing. Today I can't hold my tears anymore. Maybe I should continue read the other 2 chapters tomorrow.
