while it might not be as easy to notice to someone else, hajoon has known yuki for a decade now, which means they know very well how he usually texts. in the last couple of days, every single text message has felt off, from the speed at which he has answered them, to the correct capitalizations, and the emojis that were not his style at all. so many boomer emojis, and none of them used ironically either. and again, these small details could not mean much to someone else — but it makes hajoon all the more sure that something is wrong. and knowing yuki is also not going to give them a straight answer very easily, they decide on a white lie. completely harmless, and somewhat true. after all, there is a stack of contracts on their coffee table, and they don't trust anyone else with this. when the telltale ringing of the door comes after the doorman notices hajoon of his arrival, they are quick to jump to their feet. it doesn't take them long before they swing the door open with a grateful grin, and open it wide so yuki can enter. "yuki! thank you for coming — i had no idea what to do with all of this confidential paperwork —- and the bank is breathing down my neck." the fact that there is takeout bought and ready on the counter has little to do with the paperwork itself, but hajoon doesn't think yuki will resist, not when it is his favorite.
