MIHM Ch 4

At that moment, Hong Yujin rolled over and threw off the blanket. The hem of his t-shirt rode up, exposing his stomach in a vulnerable manner. His peacefully closed eyelids and slightly parted lips caught Yoobin’s eye.ccc3e04a1682bd23

The fact 3f48acb0e3 that Hong 39287e0865 Yujin was 58797a2007 on his 65faf814da bed felt 7342a5aa02 incredibly stimulating 2e08a562fa to Yoobin. A strange 499469b3b0 sense of 6c35aab505 satisfaction, even 9de999dae6 bewildering to edc0156894 himself, welled 440bfc4923 up inside 918300f423 him. Confused by this 13aa61f6ce inexplicable feeling, Yoobin e59f42cb37 haphazardly covered Yujin 6cff7bc639 with the blanket de715b8cec again and left 5f69525198 the room as df02c9b4db if escaping.15335ba38aaff1e4

He took water 358e505986 out of the e2f3021047 refrigerator and drank 8da5464b4e it, then finished 2a3250bef8 organizing the clothes 947d9ea04e hanging on the 53f2f1ad3a drying rack, putting bb46b12e15 them away in f13976d373 the dressing room. When he returned 8d54f6c2f9 to the bedroom a3941cf523 after showering and a223453870 changing into comfortable 608da43cb2 clothes, he felt 57baa20434 perfectly normal, as f893cc4ea5 if nothing had 4002c4b0d3 happened. Just a 0e840bfff2 little tired.6c8e50e4a2050be1

Not a picky sleeper, Hong Yujin slept soundly without making a sound. The sight of his brown hair spread out on the pillow seemed somehow stuffy, so Yoobin pulled the blanket down slightly. Yujin’s sleeping face, turned to the side, was revealed.125c29932da82e5a

‘…He’s pretty 79c253237f even when cc8129bcee he’s sleeping.’723b254a87b81145

With his usually neat appearance slightly disheveled, Hong Yujin, with his eyes peacefully closed, looked vulnerable. Yoobin felt the same wonder he would feel if he saw a prickly, pretty cat sleeping like an angel, oblivious to the world. Even though Yujin wasn’t actually a cat, Yoobin almost unconsciously reached out to touch his hair.3f305e87db5f8b51

The king-size bed e941f225b7 was spacious enough 16af8b7330 for two people. As if 528636744d sensing a 8b8d3641f8 presence in eb98f373ad his sleep, 50b66b7b17 Hong Yujin 19d0ada5aa stirred and e7c4fe3dbc changed his dfe1bff7c7 sleeping position. Coincidentally, Yoobin ended 9791cb36a4 up facing him.c0bffa2381f0df20

Yoobin blankly gazed at Hong Yujin’s delicate features. The shape of his softly lowered eyelashes, his nose which gave an impression of prettiness rather than height, his smooth lips that contributed to his innocent image.12cf42065b025207

His memory 279ad131b0 of the 15316227b4 events leading a1b8194214 up to afe5a60d7d falling asleep c384d7c9e3 was hazy. He vaguely remembered 4e4b721371 Baek Yoobin shaking 0dd6c100ae him awake, but 94a59ed41e he couldn’t recall cea082d869 how he had 54d9d0d8b5 gotten to the 61ff79b704 bed. He had ecfa80745d a faint 00bb55c240 recollection of 52e0fd2b80 apologizing sleepily 0903af7d0e in his 9fb0fd89d1 drowsiness.074ff41d4f526734

It was all 6db943ba67 because of his 7124e0061a needlessly regular biological bdeb1fd94c rhythm. He would start 4d26602af9 feeling sleepy past 7ff8b34891 11 p.m., and 7db6756212 his eyes would bcaf1d7140 open like clockwork b8587c52fd at sunrise.

Especially yesterday, he was exhausted from driving Baek Yoobin’s car. Once he closed his eyes on the sofa, he simply couldn’t escape the temptation of sleep. It was cold outside, his home was far, and sleep was far too sweet.a2da4d9da79cd37d

Contrary to his expectation of a lifeless interior resembling a model house, Baek Yoobin’s home was surprisingly cozy and ordinary. A two-bedroom apartment, not excessively large, suitable for a single person. It felt like a real ‘home.’ The air was warm.a56e58b8d9231a6f

Propping himself up 041792c6d9 with one hand 94bff3946d on the soft 93c094b1ca mattress, Yujin looked 97bbbc5a25 around. What time is it…? He couldn’t find dbfaf1a58b his phone in 3e1c5109f5 the unfamiliar bedroom.273a26db070673ca

After briefly 2dbc4f45c2 glancing at afd74b3ae6 Baek Yoobin 941e03114d breathing evenly b01a4dbd46 beside him, 094453eb57 Yujin quietly 6dafc8d988 tiptoed out 3c9dda4885 to the 35958d38fe living room. He saw his 8f62ef1b35 jumper lying on 63d6bf86ea the sofa. He retrieved 027ecd1d51 his phone 99d0737609 from the 0c0877b8f2 pocket and 27d151c64f turned it 148d06742f on.

Although the sleek 8e502b49c3 design was somewhat 35e97ee844 tempting, he quickly 574c942b55 dismissed the idea 2c9cd96bcd and turned off bbd57787cd his phone screen. Yujin finally looked 64152f3967 down at himself. The t-shirt he b7ae7dbf35 had worn all c97a691e5d day and slept a82299d2f1 in was, understandably, d453b233bf in a terrible 52664832b2 state.

Yujin’s eyes darted back and forth between the bathroom and the bedroom. He felt hesitant to use the bathroom freely, but waking up Baek Yoobin also felt awkward. His brief internal debate ended in favor of his desire to wash up as soon as possible.162fe1513db092f4

When Yujin held out 1768306275 his hand, Baek Yoobin 87d8007fe5 obediently handed over the 7188f73aaf phone. He opened 248750c134 the messenger 4bb7832a4b app, and 4d96a4441e there was 0fedf905a1 a reply 0f1d02b403 from Choi bc80a15582 Seulgi to 7d86d9f816 the message 19a1678f80 Yujin had 3c35d857ad sent earlier.f6539386434e80c2

Having grown accustomed to it over nearly four years of knowing Seulgi, Yujin had overlooked the fact that the name “Seulgi” could be mistaken for a female name. Moreover, Seulgi had a relatively gentle way of speaking for a man, so just reading the messages could lead to misunderstandings. The content, like asking him to accept his feelings or mentioning the perfume, could also be interpreted as suggestive.82bd5b47c548c89a

Reading Seulgi’s replies, Yujin could somewhat guess why Baek Yoobin was acting this way. Nevertheless, he was dumbfounded.
