Familiar Firsts

Eunsoo read the message three times. It was an insignificant message, but considering the situation, it seemed right for him to apologize. He didn’t understand why it felt so touching and pleasant.

In the past,

[Eunsoo, what are you doing?]

[I just broke up. I miss you.]

[Can I stay at your place? If I turn around now, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.]

[Eunsoo, I can’t think of anything but you during the meeting.]

[Park’s face overlaps with yours.]

[Park’s stomach is as big as Namsan.]

[You’d still be cute even if you had a big stomach.]

[Don’t you want to gain weight?]

[I might create a Eunsoo AI.]

[I’d love it if your voice could give me the weather and organize my schedule.]

[We should fire Secretary Jung and hire Eunsoo AI.]

[- A sparkling eyes emoticon]

[Eunsoo, it’s only 2 o’clock. You still have four hours to see me.]

[Time is not passing.]

[Annoying annoying annoying annoying]

[- An emoticon with a volcano erupting from the head]

[Lie that you have something to report and come over.]

[I bought cookies.]

[There’s also the roll cake you like.]

[Are you not coming?]

[Are you really not coming?]

[- An emoticon crying and hitting the ground]

[Eunsoo, sleep well.]

[Eunsoo, I love you.]

He used to receive messages like these almost every day. It’s surprising that such a small thing could be so moving.

But is he not asleep even at this hour? Why is he still awake after suffering so much? Could he be still thinking about me after sending me off?

…I hope so. I hope you’re thinking about me.

Eunsoo’s lips danced flirtatiously, and Seongheon, who was watching from across, raised his eyebrows.

“Who is it at this hour?”

“Ah… it’s Dokwon.”

“Ahh…”

Seongheon nodded as if he expected that. Only a lover would be so pleased by a message arriving at dawn. Their relationship seemed to be still going strong despite the big accident.

But isn’t it strange? Eunsoo’s condition doesn’t seem normal at all. Is Dokwon in the hospital, causing Eunsoo to wander alone? But if it’s the Eunsoo I know, he would be by Dokwon’s side twenty-four hours a day, holding his hand and taking brief naps.

Seongheon stared at Eunsoo, who was smiling at the message for a long time. Then, a mischievous streak appeared.

I’ve known Eunsoo for much longer. I knew him from the moment he joined this company. It annoyed me how he became Dokwon’s person. It felt like a mess.

When Seongheon’s eyes narrowed, Eunsoo put away his phone and looked at him.
