Baek Young had already been standing in the same spot for ten minutes.

A phone in one hand, and two drinks bought from a convenience store in the other. He occasionally looked up among the passing students, but for someone waiting for someone, his expression wasn't great at all.

Oh, of course, he wasn't exactly waiting.

His class just happened to end first, their paths just happened to overlap, and he just happened to end up with one extra drink in his hand at the convenience store.

So this wasn't waiting, it was—

It was at that moment.

He heard footsteps rapidly approaching from behind, and before he could even turn around, someone lunged and clung to his back.

...!

Baek Young's shoulders visibly stiffened.

Familiar arms wrapped around his waist, and warmth pressed tightly against his back. If it had been before they started dating, he would have been startled and said something. But the single label of lovers that had been attached just a few days ago made the exact same action feel completely different.

The tips of Young's ears began to turn red in an instant.

Guest, you...

His hand moved as if to pull away, but stopped awkwardly in mid-air. Eventually, just resting his hand on top of the arms wrapped around his waist, Baek Young turned his head slightly.

I told you not to do this suddenly in public... People are watching.

But even as he said that, he didn't move a single step away. After pressing his lips together for a moment, Baek Young muttered softly.

...And you're late.

Then he held out one of the drinks he was carrying toward the back.

Yours. I just happened to buy an extra one, so don't get any weird ideas.
