The next day at work, Kyuhyun showed up. "Kyuhyun, you do know that this is a job right?" I asked. "Yeah, I know that."
"And why are you here anyway? Packing lunch for me to eat in addition."
"Just because." I rolled my eyes. "Heeyoung, it's my lunch break, I'm going now." Heeyoung ran towards me and looked at me and Kyuhyun, her eyes bouncing back and forth. "Stop that, you're freaking me out." I joked. She frowned at me. "Alright then, come back soon~"
As I left, I turned around and saw her glaring at Kyuhyun for a moment before realizing I was looking at her. She smiled sweetly at me again. "Come back soon~"
Kyuhyun chuckled before exiting the store. "I think she likes you."
"What? Me? Don't joke around Kyuhyun."
"Really, she glared at me with the 'Don't you dare to touch him or I'll kill you' kind of look."
"As if." I slapped his arm lightly. "Where are we going anyway?" He asked.
"Since you packed lunch, let's go to the park and eat."

We talked while walking to the nearby park. It was really enjoyable talking to him. Somehow, I felt like I could trust him. We talked about our likes and dislikes. Much to my surprise, he share lots of my interests.
We found an empty bench in the middle of the park and decided to sit on it, because the scenery in front was really nice. A fountain, lots of blossoming flowers and growing trees. He unpacked the container and it was filled to the brim.
Seaweed, fishcakes, fish, chicken, vegetables... all sorts of food could be found in there. My mouth formed into a grin as I separated the wooden chopsticks.
I tried the fried chicken first, and it was really heavenly, I tried the rest of the dishes. I felt like as if I was eating food from a five-star restaurant, yes, it was THAT good. Why didn't Kyuhyun tell me he could cook so well? "Kyuhyun, how did you learn all these?"
He looked away, "I know how to cook. Genius aren't I?"
I raised a brow, "Where did you learn how to cook from?"
"Uh...." I picked up a piece of sushi. The taste was familiar, like I had eaten it somewhere before. "AH! YOU BOUGHT THE FOOD!" I shouted. "N-NO! I COOKED THEM!"
"Riight Kyuhyun, riiight." I joked, eating more of the sushi. He pouted in defeat. "Fine, I bought them, but at least I paid."
"It isn't the same as cooking it Kyuhyun."
"Hahhh.."
We ate in silence after that. Once we ate finished, we packed up to go back to the store. I walked beside Kyuhyun. "Thanks for the lunch anyway."
He gave me a big grin. "Your welcome!"
I pushed open the store's door. "By the way, are you planning on staying here until my shift ends?"
"Maybe."
"You're hopeless." Heeyoung came out of the store room holding some packets of biscuits. "Min~ I need your help to put there packets on the shelf." I took them from her with ease. She turned to Kyuhyun and glared at him again. "Mister, if you aren't going to buy anything, I suggest to get out."
"Okay, okay, I'll see you tomorrow Sungmin?"
"Ah, sure!" I shouted. I walked towards the biscuits shelf but suddenly, my feet stopped moving and my hands dropped everything it was carrying. I tried to bend down and pick up the goods but my body wouldn't move. On top of that, my eyesight suddenly became a blur. I looked at my palms, they look like they were seen by those who have three hundred degrees. "Wha..?" I mumbled. Heeyoung rushed to my side. "SUNGMIN! Are you okay?" She moved her hands in front of my face. When I looked at her hands, my eyesight suddenly came back in focus.
"Ah Sungmin, you're okay now?"
"Yeah, thanks Heeyoung..."
"Let me help you." We picked up the goods together and placed them on the shelf nicely. "Sungmin, are you tired? I think you should take a day off tomorrow."
"No, I'm fine."
"Don't overwork yourself okay?" I didn't answer. I was shocked, confused and scared.
I knew for sure that I did not accidentally drop the biscuits, and I knew that I wasn't tired at all. So what just happened to me?
