NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: Chapter 34
Yeonjun was in his deep sleep when he felt something was on his lap. He opened his eyes and was surprised when he saw Soobin was lying on his lap. He put his head on Yeonjun's lap. Seemed like he was searching for a place to sleep and found the perfect place. His eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping very soundly. Yeonjun touched his forehead very lightly. Brushed his finger on the cheeks. As soon as he started caressing Soobin's hair, he began to rub his cheeks on Yeonjun's thigh just like a kitten. Yeonjun smiled as he found him very cute. He felt how soft the cheek was and wanted to kiss the cheeks. He lowered his head to steal a peck, but suddenly he heard Soobin saying something. He couldn't hear it at first. So, he tried to listen carefully. He was astonished when he heard what Soobin was saying.
"Meow!" A strange sound came from Soobin. Yeonjun was surprised and flabbergasted. Then, he heard it again.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" Soobin kept meowing as if he was a real cat.
Yeonjun suddenly opened his eyes and discovered he was dreaming all this while. A real cat was sitting on his lap while purring. It was rubbing its face against Yeonjun's lap from time to time. Yeonjun got quite mad at it since it made him have the beautiful dream, but didn't let him finish seeing it.
"Aish! Why the hell did you come to sleep on my lap? Is it so comfortable? Tsk! Didn't you find another place to laze around? At least let me have the full dream!" Yeonjun kept blabbering with his full irritation. Though it wasn't working because the cat wasn't giving any attention and started licking its paw and then rubbing its paw on its head. Although Yeonjun was mad at it, he found it so cute that he couldn't shoo it away.
"Alright! Have it in your way! Tsk!" Yeonjun rolled his eyes and then looked at the cat again. It was a white cat which had a brown color print on it. It looked a little dirty too. He couldn't help himself but to put his hand on it again. It was very soft so Yeonjun couldn't stop touching it and caressing it. He wondered why he saw Soobin in the cat's place earlier. But whatever the reason was, he was quite amused.
"It's just possible in a dream! Ah! I wish my dream would come true!" Yeonjun scoffed and leaned back on the tree.
At that time, he got a phone call. He was feeling lazy to pick up the call, but he took out his phone and received it. It was from his workers who finished the packaging and were trying to reach Yeonjun. But they had no idea where Yeonjun went. So, they needed to call him to talk with him.
"What?" Yeonjun asked with his half sleepy voice.
"Where are you? We're searching for you everywhere! We're done here. Won't you go and deliver the goods? Should we send someone else?" the girl from the other side of the phone asked.
"Where to?" Yeonjun asked as he forgot where the delivery was.
"Seoul. You told me to ask you beforehand when the delivery is within Seoul." The girl replied.
"Seoul? You're saying it's Seoul? I…I'm coming! I'm coming! I'll go! Don't send someone else there!" Yeonjun was wide awake. His face gleamed with excitement. He stood up as soon as he could and took the cat with him.

Yeonjun finished his job and was going to get inside his truck again. He was planning to go to Soobin's school and take a look at him. He didn't want to meet him as it'd be awkward for both of them. But, after the dream, he really wanted to see him, even if it'd be just a glance from afar. He was in such a hurry that he forgot what Soobin said in the morning. Thankfully, his friend noticed him and wanted to talk with him.
"Darling! You didn't inform me you're gonna come here!" Wooyoung came to Yeonjun and hit him on his back. The slap was a bit stronger so it caused a throbbing pain on Yeonjun's back which made Yeonjun angry.
"You mother…*mmph*" Yeonjun glared at him as he could clearly understand whose voice it was. He tried to curse him, but Wooyoung pressed his mouth with his hand to suppress him.
"No cursing, honey!" Wooyoung winked at him, trying to flirt which made Yeonjun more furious.
"Aish! Leave me!" Yeonjun pulled Wooyoung's hand and took a long breath as he was going out of his breath.
"Hehe! What did you deliver today? And why are you up in arms? Aren't you happy to see me?" Wooyoung acted very cute and smiled at him. Yeonjun sighed and made a face since his aegyo didn't work on Yeonjun.
"Happy my ass!" Yeonjun said and turned back as he needed to go.
"What are YOU doing here? In this area?" Yeonjun asked with irritation.
"I came because I had some business around here. But if you told me earlier, I'd cancel my appointment to spend time with you." Wooyoung winked again, trying to hide his smirk.
"Whatever! Go and do your business! And for goodness's sake! Don't slap me so hard! I've always warned you several times!" Yeonjun got on his truck as he thought he was going to be late and miss Soobin at this rate.
"Okay, okay! My bad! Take care! And if you want to have dinner, call me! I'll treat you!" Wooyoung said in a loud voice as Yeonjun already started the engine.
"Tsk! As if!" Yeonjun said sarcastically and started driving. He reached the school, but it seemed empty. There was no sign of students anywhere. That was when he remembered Soobin said he didn't have classes for the day.
"Argh! How could I forget? He said he'd be in the library! How'd I figure out which library he's in?" Yeonjun sulked because he was quite disappointed. His stomach started growling since he hadn't eaten yet. He was in a very bad mood because nothing was going on in his way. He was finding a way to fix his friendship with Soobin all day. But, nothing came to his mind. There was one thing that he could do. That was, taking help from Wooyoung. Yeonjun got more annoyed when he realized he really needed to call Wooyoung. He took out his phone and called Wooyoung.
"I wonder who is the guy calling me? Ah! Isn't it Mr. Yeonjuuuuunnie!" Wooyoung started taunting as soon as he received the call.
"This is why....THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WANNA CALL YOU! Dude, I'm not in the mood to joke around right now. So, can you please keep quiet?" Yeonjun said arrogantly.
"Fine! Fine! I sealed my lips, 'kay? Let's meet now. Do you prefer the regular place to meet? You can also see the pretty boy too if you want!" Wooyoung giggled as he wanted to mock Yeonjun again.
"Let's do that! I'm coming within half an hour!" Yeonjun agreed. He needed to park his big truck for now as there was no parking area near the cafe.
After half an hour, Yeonjun came to the bakery. He was scanning the whole bakery to check if Soobin was there. Unfortunately, Soobin wasn't there at that time.
"Hey! I'm here!" Wooyoung waved his hand and called Yeonjun. As usual, he was the one waiting for his friend.
"Ah! You're already here! But, didn't you wanna have lunch?" Yeonjun took his chair while saying.
"It's okay, are you that hungry? I just thought about you so I supposed you'd like to come here." Wooyoung was concerned to know.
"It's fine! He's not here anyway. Let's take a look at the menu and decide what we're gonna have." Yeonjun said and took the menu.
"Hey! First of all, spill the tea!" Wooyoung smirked at Yeonjun, taking the menu from his hand.
"Hey! Which tea! There's no tea!" Yeonjun was trying to take the card back and pretend there was nothing bothering him.
"Then, why have you been blowing a fuss since then? There must be something going on? Ain't I right?" Wooyoung asked, looking at him with questioning eyes.
"Don't even ask!" Yeonjun sat back and sighed.
"I just fucked it up! I put the cart before the horse!" He added while covering his face.
"What did you do this time?" Wooyoung asked, curiously. In reply, Yeonjun told him everything.
"Are you nuts? Why the hell did you propose?" Wooyoung shouted.
"Shhh!" Yeonjun looked around to check if someone was looking at them.
"Gimme some advice if you can! Don't shout!" Yeonjun came closer and whispered. Wooyoung's face was also filled with anxiety. Both of them were silent for a while as they couldn't bring up anything to talk about. After a while, Wooyoung shouted as some ideas popped in his head.
"Hey! I just got an idea!" He said. The anxiety washed away from his face as he grinned. But his smile was saying he was scheming something very evil.
