Wooyoung opened the car door for San, San kissing his cheek before getting into the passenger seat. "We'll talk more tonight," San said, Wooyoung smiling. He should have guessed that getting San to open up to him would take more time than this. Wooyoung looked at Seonghwa and Hongjoong, opening the back door for them.
"They can walk," San said, wanting to be alone with Wooyoung. "Not in this weather," Hongjoong said, stepping to the side to let Seonghwa go in first. "How many cars does Yeonjun own?" Seonghwa asked, looking at the interior. It had only been a few days but he really missed Seoul and Yeosang's car. And Yeosang.
"He has a car collection," Wooyoung said, not knowing the exact amount. "We should teach San and Seonghwa how to drive," Hongjoong said, when Wooyoung got into the driver's seat. "Here would be perfect," Wooyoung said excitedly, Hongjoong looking at all the free space they could practice in without damaging themselves or the car. Why didn't he think of that?
"But this car isn't automatic," San said, Wooyoung, Hongjoong, and Seonghwa looking at him. San looked up at them, then at the wheel. "We should get gas," San pointed out, realizing he said too much. He did not want to get Yunho, Mingi, and Jongho in trouble. And he did not want to mention that he almost got arrested again because he was driving without a license.
San tried to avoid Wooyoung and Hongjoong's eyes, looking out the window. "Yunho?" Wooyoung asked, Hongjoong shaking his head still staring at San. "It was Mingi," Hongjoong said, San scratching the back of his neck nervously. It was Mingi with Yunho's blessing and Jongho in the passenger seat.
"The nearest gas station is here," Seonghwa said, handing his phone to Wooyoung and saving San, Yunho, Mingi, and Jongho from a getting a long lecture. San felt like he could breathe, feeling Hongjoong's and Wooyoung's turn their attention away from him. Wooyoung looked at Hongjoong in the rearview mirror, making eye contact. Yunho and Mingi were in trouble.

Yeosang and Jongho hid in the bedroom next to Yunho and Mingi's, looking at the living room where Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and Ari once sat talking. Then they all left, Yeosang wanting this vacation to be over already. Jongho sat at the computer looking like a technology genius, wearing headphones and clicking away on the mouse, making the monitor look like a security camera feed.
"Any news?" Yeosang asked, Jongho shaking his head. "So far they're talking about lunch and whether or not the one in pink should settle down with a nice demon," Jongho said, sipping some coffee. Yeosang hummed, wondering if demons were more like humans than he had first thought. Jongho looked away from the screen knowing they could replay anything if they needed too.
"Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're protective of Seonghwa hyung?" Jongho asked, catching Yeosang off guard. "Yeah," Yeosang said, happy that Jongho didn't ask any more questions. Seonghwa's secret was safe with him no matter what. "Do you like him?" Jongho asked bluntly, Yeosang freezing up. Jongho smiled, turning around to face his screen, Yeosang's blushing face told him the whole story.
He was used to feeling hurt and he already accepted the idea that Yeosang will most likely never like him back. It was funny how he ended up having a crush on him in the first place and convinced everyone that he was over the crush. He almost convinced himself too. Over time whatever made Yeosang happy, made him happy too. Seonghwa was caring, considerate, kind, and boyfriend material. Why would he say anything?
"Don't get the wrong idea," Yeosang said, even though Jongho's idea was the right idea. Sort of not really. He was still sorting through stuff. "Anything you say hyung," Jongho said, spinning around his chair comfortably.
