Jeonghan kept thinking about Joshua. But why? He had no feelings for him. His shop had also seen fewer customers since the last time Joshua came.

Was Joshua the one who made his shop famous? But why did he only come in the evening? Did he have problems during the daytime?

Well, who cares? Jeonghan reasoned that he had nothing to do with this man.

Once the "last" customer left, he played some music because he knew nobody else would come.

But why did he still wait? It's not like Joshua would come.

He played "Bittersweet." No reason, though. He just played the song because its vibe matched his mood.

Since it was a vocal song, he started singing. While he was washing the dishes, he sang with his angelic voice.

"그 무엇도 그 무엇도 사람 마음 같지 않아서 같은 시선 다른 마음 너무 달고 너무 쓰다" He sang the chorus.

He felt like someone was watching him. Was it Joshua? He looked out the window, but nobody was there, and it was raining.

Maybe it was just his imagination. He continued to sing the song with his angelic voice.

He sang the last chorus. The playlist was on shuffle, so the next song would be random.

"Ready to Love" started playing. He began singing heavenly. If he knew he had perfect vocals, he could easily be an idol.

He sang the whole song again. When the last chorus played, he heard someone entering the café.

The boy's voice was very familiar, but the action was even more familiar.

The other boy started to sing "Ready to Love."

"Joshua! You're here!" Jeonghan sounded excited. In reality, he was happy to know he would get more money again.

"He sounds excited. Did he miss me? I'm so happy that I met him. His vocals are heaven for my ears. I wish I could listen to him sing the whole day," Joshua thought.

"But I have other things to do. First, I don't want to seem rude, so I'm going to order a coffee." he said to himself.

"You know my coffee. Can we talk? I need to tell you something!" the younger said, sitting at a table.

"Sure. Should I stop the music?" Jeonghan asked.

"Your choice."

Jeonghan decided to stop the music to make their conversation more comfortable.

Once the coffee was done, he handed it to Joshua.

He sat down at his table, ready to have a conversation.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

Joshua took a sip, enjoying the heavenly taste. He missed it. Really. The taste of this coffee somehow made him relax.

"So..." He started, a bit embarrassed.

"Relax. Take your time!" Jeonghan said, fixing his hair. His voice had a calming effect on Joshua.

"I want to make you an offer. I know you probably won't accept it, but let me finish, at least!" he said.

"Sure, I'm listening!" Jeonghan smiled.

"Alright... how should I start? Should I get straight to the point? Yes, I'll do that," he continued.

Jeonghan had the wildest thoughts in his mind. Trust me, you don't want to find out. A great example would be like those scenarios in Wattpad fanfictions where the main character proposes to the other without even knowing them. You already know how those go.

"My family is away for a while, and I know this might sound a bit childish, but I'm scared to live alone. So you might be wondering why I'm telling you this. The answer is... I want you to live with me for a week." There was a moment of silence, then he added, "And if you're wondering why I didn't invite my friends, I only have one friend, and I don't want to live with him."

Jeonghan didn't know what to say.

"That's.... all?"

"Yea?"

Jeonghan thought carefully. Originally, he would say no. But he was tired of his mom's constant nagging. He was tired of hearing his mother scream at Seungkwan again.

So that's the only reason he would say yes. But it would be rude to leave Seungkwan alone at home. So Jeonghan contemplated.

"Are you afraid to let your brother alone?" Joshua asked, seemingly reading his mind.

Jeonghan was surprised. "Yes. But you know what? He can survive alone. I like to help people, so yes, I'm accepting your offer!" Jeonghan smiled.

That fast? Joshua wondered. Did Jeonghan have feelings for him? How could he be so sure of himself? That was something to ponder.

"Oh, that fast? I'm happy to hear that. We can get to know each other better this way!" Joshua smiled back.

"Yeah. Sure..." Jeonghan said, though his thoughts were somewhere else.

He finally had freedom for 1 week.
