with his day off and his roommate using the officetel space to work, kyungsoo used his time to go back to his habit of reading in a cafe. it was too cold to sit outside unfortunately, has been since he became a civilian again, so the cafe’s atmosphere was good enough.

he ordered himself something bitter and strong, requesting the barista to add another espresso shot into his drink. if he was going to stay out for long, then he needed some way to stay awake. he reached into his bag to grab his wallet, but after some careful searching, he couldn’t feel it anywhere.

shit. did he forget it at home? kyungsoo placed his bag onto the counter to help him reach into it, but it was to no avail.

how could he forget? why would he take it out of his bag in the first place? …unless he was organizing his luggage and his wallet happened to get caught in the middle of his sea of black clothing.

with a sigh, he slung the bag around his shoulder again. “i’m sorry,” he said to the worker. “please cancel my order. i don’t have my wallet on me.” it wasn't embarrassing; rather he berated himself on how careless he was for forgetting a necessity. kyungsoo stepped out of the way to let the next person order as he went through options of what to do now.
