Trips to the grocery store are the bane of Hoseok’s existence. It’s not even because he can’t afford half the stuff he would love to buy, but because it’s usually just too crowded. The aisles are too small, he has to get too close to other people. It’s a nightmare. Not even the music playing through his headphones can take away that weight on his chest as he nervously shuffles past strangers and places just the bare necessities into his basket. In his case, it’s just a pile of cheap instant noodles and bottles of water. 

He knows his foster parents don’t approve and will most likely try to coax him into accepting bits of food here and there, but he’s determined to learn to be independent, despite the lack of an income.

What else does he need? Just a pack of sugar, because he feels guilty for using up so much at home. But of course the cheapest brand is strategically placed onto the top shelf. The brunet lets out a barely audible sigh and stands up on the tips of his toes, arm stretched out until his fingertips just barely brush against the package. A groan of frustration sounds from the back of his throat and he bites his lip.

He isn’t that short, is he? This is ridiculous.

In show business, a man and a woman can never label themselves as JUST FRIENDS. People will continue to suspect their relationship despite having been told by both parties that they're simply just friends and nothing more than that. Ahreum owed Yohan a lot more than what he accepts from her after he had saved her from a potential stalker when she appeared on one of his projects before as the actress who was supposed to do the scene decided to not show up. The staff had to pay an extra amount of money just to cast her, but it was better than having no one to play the role. After spending time with Yohan, Ahreum decided that she wants to keep Yohan as a friend and had continuously kept in touch with him despite their own busy schedules. Ahreum often called Yohan to check on him and teasing him by calling him 'sunbae' as he started his career earlier than she did. 

The pair decided to have dinner together as Ahreum finally finished shooting for her drama and was finally back in Wonyang. Driving to the hotel, Ahreum didn't mind showing off her friendship with him to the public as they both know there is nothing wrong with it. After parking her car, she takes a seat in the lobby. Fiddling with her phone while she waits for Yohan to come down so they can go out and find a nice restaurant to spoil themselves with. Maybe it's because they're good friends, that Ahreum could tell his footsteps above from everyone else. Lifting her gaze, she sees him approaching and she hurriedly runs to meet him halfway with an embrace. 

“Yohan! I missed you!” She tells him, throwing her arms around his neck for a quick embrace, unaware of the countless pairs of eyes staring at them. “So, since I finished my drama I was thinking it should be my treat this time. Where do you want to eat? What are you craving?” Being comfortable with Yohan, she didn't mind the skinship as she usually does such a thing with her brother and Yohan was nice to have around. He's a gentleman and unlike other male actors, he doesn't make her uncomfortable. “I parked my car outside so let's go?”
