GENTLE tumble on low heat, that’s what he used to think of when he saw her because of their deal: he washes her laundry and it’s a job well done. another day in the life of park hyungsik, except he’d be distracted by the fact that yes she is willing to let him wash her intimates too. he’d done this type of work in the past but most women were more shy, more modest but minhee’s basket contained lace that he couldn’t ignore. special care when laundering calls for his attention and he’s given into the idea that he has to acknowledge that he barely knows this beautiful woman but knows her preferences.
BUT it’s not the most unusual relationship he’s had with a customer and not the weirdest start to a friendship he’s had either. “what color were you thinking of today?” he asks, not even looking up as he continues preparing her nails, face mask in place as he lifts her hand to check for evenness in his work. perfection is his standard and the only one he accepts when he does someone’s nails. it’s what brings customers back, that’s his mantra, and it’s how he feels about his side job too. good work and care is what makes his customers happy, friends included. minhee just happens to be both now. “i know you’re a fan of colors,” he teases, eluding to her choice of lace.
