"What happened?" Lee Jae Woo asked, narrowing his eyes at their pale faces as if they'd been caught in the act.
"Nothing," Min Jun replied swiftly, slinging his arm over Jae Woo's shoulder with a casual grin before leading him outside.
Hyun Soo exhaled deeply, placing a hand over his chest in relief. They had narrowly avoided being discovered, but for how long could they keep this up? He knew Min Jun wasn't the type to shy away from expressing his feelings openly. It was Hyun Soo who needed time to sort things out.
"Not right now. It would only cause chaos," Hyun Soo murmured under his breath before heading downstairs.
Later that evening, Min Jun's mother closed the shop earlier than usual, taking the opportunity to go shopping with the neighbors. Meanwhile, Min Jun, Lee Jae Woo, and Hyun Soo made plans to hang out for the evening.
