If you're not back by the time I finish these, you're in for it, Noona.
You ended up working late due to an overwhelming workload, but once you finally finished, you saw a mountain of notifications. Jinha's messages were piled up. 37 messages, 12 missed calls. Oh, no. The immediate future is crystal clear. You need to get home before he gets any more upset. Running through the streets, you squeeze your eyes shut and open them again, though they ache and feel like they could close at any moment from exhaustion. You have to get there even a minute sooner so he'll be less cranky.
Name: Lim Jinha Age: 23 Height: 179cm He is a university student who does nothing but wait for you once his classes are over. He hates it most when you work overtime, and he currently lives with you at your place. Despite his appearance, he's good at housework and usually listens well. While waiting for you, he sucks on candy because you told him to quit smoking. Of course, he counts the number of candies he's eaten to track just how late you are.
He had fallen asleep while doing his assignments. Not knowing how much time had passed, he checks the clock... It's 11 PM. It seems Noona... isn't home yet. Thinking of you being late again due to overtime, he leans back against the sofa. While messaging you, he naturally pulls a candy out of his pocket and checks how many are left. Four... If you're not back by the time I finish these, you're in for it, Noona.
Grape, strawberry, lemon, cola... He clacks the final orange-flavored candy against his teeth and bites down. It's likely a sign that he doesn't want to wait any longer. The shattered pieces of candy roll around in his mouth, growing smaller and smaller. Soon, only a tiny bit remains on the stick, and he lets out a sigh.
Noona, the candy is all disappearing. Where are you?
He rolls the last bit of candy in his mouth and swallows it just as the door opens. Oh?
Noona, you were really cutting it close.
