Before Mr. Kim could think about what to do with his feelings towards Mr. Lim, he needed to think about what to do with his jacket that he's been holding onto. Because it spent a few days being soaked with Mr. Kim's pheromones, even Mr. Kim knew that if he returned it as is Mr. Lim would know that he had been cuddling with it.

 However, now that it's been awhile, he didn't feel like he could simply return it. So while the jacket was washing, Mr. Kim looked up bakeries to get bread from. Maybe it was because he spent the last few days struggling the jacket that had the scent of Mr. Lim's pheromones, but all Mr. Kim could think of as a gift was bread from a nice bakery. Mr. Kim sat on his couch, searching for a bakery where he could get something that Mr. Lim would like. He scrolled through reviews, reading each one and looking through the photos reviewers posted. After over thirty  minutes of searching, Mr. Kim found a place that he was satisfied with. And after hanging the jacket to dry, he made sure to set his alarm so that he could wake up early the next day.

***

Mr. Kim woke up an hour before usual, trying his best to hurry and get ready. He made sure to fold the jacket and place it into a bag before heading to the bakery he chose last night.

When he arrived, the door chimed as a worker greeted him.

“Welcome~” 

Mr. Kim had already planned what to buy, a mint chocolate bread, red bean bread  and a slice of strawberry cream cake. When he walked to the counter with his tray, he stared at the small flyer advertising the bakery’s new drink option. 

The worker at the counter asked, “is this all~?”

Mr. Kim was still glancing towards the flyer. 

When the worker noticed they said, “there’s a sale if you get two Sir~!”

As the bakery speciality wasn’t coffee their drinks didn’t sell well. Because of this, it seemed like there was always a sale.

Mr. Kim said, “then, can I get a green smoothie and an iced americano?”

“Yes~ is that all?”

“Yes please.”

“I’ll have that  right out for you Sir.”

While Mr. Kim was waiting for his drinks, he held onto his phone. Although he had gotten more comfortable with texting Mr. Lim recently, he was suddenly nervous again.

Still, despite his nervousness he wanted to text Mr. Lim.

[Mr. Lim, I’m sorry for taking your jacket. I’d like to give it when I get to work.]

[Junho, I hope you’re feeling better. Should we meet up at the rooftop?]

[Yes. I’ll see you there.]

The worker called out while sitting down two drinks, “here’s your drinks Sir~”

Mr. Kim went up to the counter and grabbed them, “Thank you.”

Mr. Kim headed to work with the bread and drinks. Going straight to the rooftop, while hoping that the drinks wouldn’t get too warm.

As he opened the door to the rooftop, he saw Mr. Lim sitting on a bench. There was a gust of wind that gently rustled his hair, and blew the scent of his pheromones towards Mr. Kim. 

Mr. Kim stood there staring towards Mr. Lim. He was wearing a darker grey suit, with a striped tie and black shoes. His hair neatly swept back with a few bangs hanging over his forehead.

Mr. Kim could feel his heart starting to beat faster, and his own pheromones started to waft in the air.

Mr. Lim noticed the scent of Mr. Kim and looked towards the door.

He smiled after seeing Mr. Kim standing there, “Junho.”

Mr. Kim was surprised that Mr. Lim was calling him casually even at work. Although right now it was only the two, it still felt surprising to hear his name be called like that at work.

He walked towards him, “M-Mr. Lim.”

Mr. Kim held out the bag with the jacket, as well as the drinks and bread.

“Here’s your jacket.”

Mr. Lim grabbed the bag and noticed the drinks that Mr. Kim was holding.

“Is this also for me?” he asked.

Mr. Kim nodded, “yes.”

He sat down next to him.

“I felt bad for having your jacket for so long. So I got you some bread and a drink.”

Mr. Lim smiled at Mr. Kim’s explanation. He felt happy knowing that Mr. Kim thought about him so much even after they parted. 

He took the bread and green smoothie, “Junho, thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”

Mr. Kim watched as Mr. Lim took a sip, his eyes lingered at Mr. Lim’s lips.

And yet again, he remembered what happened before they parted that day. However, he questioned why Mr. Lim wasn’t bringing it up. 

Mr. Lim noticed Mr. Kim’s stares, “it tastes good.”

Mr. Kim’s focus went off of Mr. Lim’s face to his words.

“Huh? That’s good…” 

“You should drink your coffee before the ice melts.”

Mr. Kim had forgotten he got himself a drink as well. 

“Ah, yes.”

He picked up the ice americano and took a sip. 

“Mr. Lim, you should try the bread I got.”

Mr. Lim found himself smiling at every word Mr. Kim would say. 

“Yeah, I should.”

The two sat there and drank their drinks, Mr. Kim ended up eating the mint chocolate bread after Mr. Lim insisted that he eat something. They both sat next to each other until it was time for the two to start work.

Mr. Kim felt like the time had passed too fast, but still, he got up to head to his office.

Mr. Lim watched as Mr. Kim got up to leave, “I’ll see you during lunch.”

Mr. Kim smiled, “Yes. I’ll see you then.”
