In a few hours, lollipops made a comeback. When Seungmin came to wake him up gently he'd thought it was a dream but the other was just that sweet. Hyunjin felt bad at not letting the other take care of him and at being difficult and wasting Seungmin's time although he wasn't feeling bad about working his ass off. When he felt bad and distracted – because Seungmin made him go cuckoo but he grounded him too – he tended to start teething his lip so therefore, he chose the safer option of opening his bedside table and getting a cherry lollipop out. Of course he felt a pang of guilt as the sweetness registered. Seungmin had gotten him those lollipops.

As he swirled said lollipop while he changed, his thoughts ran wild. It wasn't right that he had been so cold and single-focused. When Seungmin had told him he'll take care of him, he had agreed wholeheartedly. If he didn't want that yesterday then what he should have done was tell Seungmin just that. The other was looking out for him, taking care of him and he had repaid him with a cold shoulder when Seungmin's had only been warm.

He'd gotten frustrated because Seungmin was keeping him from something he could do to mitigate the hate and not just towards him but all of them.

On the other hand, Seungmin was thinking too while he messed around on his phone in the other room. He thought that he had pushed too hard. Nagged too much. Hyunjin clearly had wanted to practice and while he didn't need to agree with it, Hyunjin was a grown adult used to making his own decisions. Simply because he didn't want to make them in the bedroom or even outside sometimes, it didn't mean he could impose on the other when Hyunjin hadn't expressed to wanting that. Usually the other told him he wanted a scene or all-day or something and he went with it. There were times when it was him that expressed wanting something but they always discussed it even if briefly before.

Yesterday (or that morning) wasn't about sex or control. He really was worried but it was a tricky situation. Perhaps Hyunjin hadn't understood it wasn't about control.

Neither could see a way out. While swallowing their pride and stubbornness they managed to individually understand the other while still retaining their own stance. Both wanted to apologise and were wrecking their brains to see how to do that.

Suddenly Hyunjin got an idea and because today he was too excited and couldn't go out he ordered online. When he doorbell rang after he got a notification he sprinted there in his pyjamas and just about opened the door when Changbin shouted at him to cover up from the couch. He frowned. He dressed quite conservatively. He wasn't indecent although he was looking a little rumpled in dog pyjamas.

He started at Changbin, the poor delivery person waiting just outside their door until Changbin rolled his eyes and waved his hand over his face.

Oh right. Corona + being popular = facemask and possibly sunglasses. He'll just look hangover. He had already swallowed his pride once that day so he did it twice.

Suffice to say, he had great taste. Seungmin was a great example of that.

Seungmin would be getting flowers from him rather than for him.

Yellow roses to symbolise he was sorry and happy flowers like daisies – because he was a daisy least Seungmin forgot – and popping alstroemerias balanced with greens and white lilies and carnations. It was the perfect summer bouquet but it was also very Seungmin and he was nervous to give it to him along with his apology.
