sitting on the floor by the office, hansol sighs.

at the back of his head, the words he’s just heard keep repeating endlessly, intruding into his every other thought and rendering him unable to move on. he dares not repeat those phrases out loud, not even when fellow volunteers ask him what’s happened -- all he does is smile sadly and say he’s fine, thank you, just a little tired from washing all the food bowls. how could he ever impose such sadness onto others? no, hansol could never. it’s better if it’s kept a secret, anyway -- if less people panic about it, maybe the positive energy will outweight the heaviness of his heart.

when a tall figure approaches from the front door, however, the boy jumps to his feet in one swift movement, and does what he can to block the hallway with his slender figure. “h-hey! mingyu! i didn’t know you were coming in today! ah, man, if i’d known i would’ve left the cleaning duty to you!”, he beams, pushing balled fists into tight pockets as if nothing’s happened. “now that you’re here, how about lending us a hand with the backyard?”

Good thing you specified that for me! We wouldn't want any miscommunication Liliana!

I look for loyalty, honesty, good hygiene, willing to be there when I need it, intelligence, able to defend themselves, ability to make me laugh. Looks would be a plus but not entirely important. I really want a genuine caring between myself and my partner.
