Caught

Huang Li was the only person awake that afternoon. Since he was uncharged of preparing food, he began making dinner for them.

As he was doing so, he noticed Lu Mello enter the kitchen.

"Oh, you're awake." He said, giving him a glance before he continued on chopping the tomatoes.

"I can't sleep." He sighed. "I think I should get going now." 

Huang Li paused just to look at him again, "Are you sure?" The dark bags under his eyes were obvious that Huang Li was worried he might end up falling asleep on his way back to his place.

"Yeah..." He muttered. Lu Mello went to get a glass and placed it on the counter before he moved towards the ref, opening its door just so he could take out a jar of water and fill the glass with its content. "I should leave with the kids after this."

"You can have dinner first you know." Huang Li offered.

"It's a long way home from here." Lu Mello replied.
