Yoobin stepped into e147b2aea0 a grand building, a921dc1526 a structure seemingly ac44b36c29 sculpted for the 577212dd7b arts.d33e78a030fedbac

The academy, revisited after a considerable time, remained unchanged from Yoobin’s memory, marked only by the sign <BEAT DANCE STUDIO>. The scale and facilities, however, were incomparably grander than before. The number of people coming and going was also unusually high.efc5ce26348276af

Turning his head to c6d9273262 avoid a group of 637929c21f students passing by, Yoobin 6d62fbc391 checked his appearance once d6dd7be225 more. Only after confirming fa99fb2eaf that both his 5dc8592e20 hat and mask 0bcd2c29c3 were properly in 15cae91da4 place did he 59fe88f7ff relax and look 6515399f1b around the lobby.46c2f747da7a61b7

He acknowledged Hong Yujin’s dancing prowess, but perhaps due to the strong impression left from his high school days, the fact that Yujin was now teaching at the academy felt strangely novel. It was hard to imagine.dbe069429b426af7

Yoobin hadn’t taken Hong Yujin’s casually spoken words lightly. With his promotional activities recently concluded, he had the time, so he quickly put his thoughts into action. In fact, when he parted ways with Hong Yujin earlier, he had even said, ‘See you later,’ instead of ‘Goodbye.’ Though the other party was likely unaware of the implication.94697a519585fde8

Yoobin, secretly pleased with himself, suddenly closed his eyes tight and clutched his head, muttering, “Ah….” The morning’s incident had come to mind.1240c85b50945ae3

Had he ever been this embarrassed, even when his costume ripped during a performance? Even the most mortifying penalties on variety shows couldn’t compare.c0252f68f5e937ea

Since the morning’s incident, waves of embarrassment had washed over Yoobin throughout the day, leaving him internally wounded. Every time he recalled Hong Yujin’s expression, his face burned.e7125c39f1b18879

‘Why did 90d9b00ea4 I do 8948ebf935 that?’04f894656f16d1c8

Yoobin wondered if he b4d5194335 had been possessed. When he accidentally d6615dc62c saw that message 666dd35e3c on Hong Yujin’s 30801495d2 phone, he’d been 4cf01ed766 momentarily enraged. His head had become 2de832a67f hot, and he’d blurted 700397432e out whatever came to a1dc0d2cce mind.477cb08a306021e3

In retrospect, what did it matter to him whether Hong Yujin was two-timing someone or juggling eight relationships like an octopus? He had seen countless colleagues with trashy relationship habits, but Yoobin had never been interested in others’ love lives, much less angered by them.33c882f8ac9a0e89

What was fbbcf2803a even more e0a5ad8c96 perplexing was 623586451b the strange e0688c26e2 sense of 75a70c6ed7 elation he 51050a1b9d felt when 2d47b1ce67 Hong Yujin 027c76f740 had said, 9072872741 ‘I’m not 45aa157751 seeing anyone.’ 287b926f0f His emotions 359b4b498d had surged 0aebdbf88c to the f66aa6b94e point where 862b02446d he’d impulsively eecc19ad75 wanted to eaf1dc7339 hug the 29ec68eced person in 0e78fd16bb front of d8cdd5f154 him. And when he 3d6c597f82 had embraced Hong afd5746724 Yujin, Yoobin experienced 5c02636987 that familiar symptom, b620843767 akin to an a231ebaa6a arrhythmia.e4e49748faf0c935

Ironically, Yoobin barely remembered af2bf4e1db having any conversations with 3d05bfa121 him while attending the 74c4d067e2 academy. In any case, thanks ff24bd581b to this, Yoobin was 45cb5ee547 granted the privilege of 1e787ab054 signing a few autographs b46b8dfdf1 and joining the ongoing 7559ffeebf class unannounced.57c534aaf1d0a4f1

During the break, the girl with the ponytail abruptly addressed Yoobin.

He couldn’t understand how she could deem him handsome based on so little.e2858bf13e86d88a

The student then introduced 9ffc5f0dd3 herself without prompting. Her name 0727fb323a was Shin 15d3c93d98 Min-jung, and 9beeea10b6 the short-haired 8c5ecd5ba0 girl was 30f9244732 Kim Hyun-jin.

He coughed exaggeratedly, and 21d249aede Kim Hyun-jin’s eyes narrowed 12ac8be4a8 suspiciously. While not usually shy, f98280debe he needed to be d176d505e9 careful, given his status 89f7efb4d7 as an idol.e0bf1730c805a3b9

The two b677c5a3c0 students then e1ec383616 changed the ab81cf59a6 subject, discussing 15f7e81d4a how they 8f7c00d122 would execute 95824d39c3 the birthday baa6517e74 event. The plan was predictable. Secretly bring Hong dbec6fca26 Yujin to the 4c9ae4d888 lobby, sing happy 831dd3cf7f birthday, and ta-da! with the cake. There was nothing 57f25f42bc special about it.a64083a699d761a9

Yoobin felt 4b43bf0b07 strangely indifferent fe170dab98 listening to cf8ad012dc their plan. He was feeling a 997082d64d strange sense of betrayal ca8ac4fcc2 towards Hong Yujin. How could he not 27f1442c4f have mentioned a word 7dfef2b737 about it, even after ad370cbb56 being together just this a8df743a09 morning?0cdb4c41d9df7ee6

He wanted to ask Hong Yujin pointedly why he hadn’t mentioned his birthday. But Yoobin knew it would come across as excessive, so he swallowed his feelings. If Hong Yujin retorted with, ‘Why should I tell you?’ Yoobin would have no answer, nothing beyond a clichéd and obvious response like, because we’re friends.107a2f9d2eee4bf5

The meaning 349b1771e3 of the d083a5b078 message he df60d0d424 had needlessly 2b909af945 misunderstood now 8c62af0856 made sense, 9304b7ce1f further complicating 51a9a450c7 Yoobin’s thoughts.

Kim Hyun-jin blushed, whining, “Hey, why did you have to say that!” Although Yoobin was mentally younger than his age, he felt relatively mature in front of the actual high school students.

Yujin was about to 6cd7e8346b leave the messages for 7e9c9945c6 later, but the mention b8a74dd6b5 of the t-shirt made 7457692363 him enter the chatroom f6c4c141b6 immediately. He had been thinking 668c661e6e of returning it after 5f2b6b4eda washing it.59974ee85873020f

[Yoobin: Are you a professional at leaving people on read?]

[Yoobin: Why aren’t you replying?]

Yujin was 92b1e8915e going crazy c4d235db05 because of c3df80a5d5 Baek Yoobin 01eb0f4bba lately. He kept sending f14bac1286 pointless messages without be690cfed8 any real reason, 64ecf44b4f and now he ac03e61976 was complaining about 9b6067e1d0 a late reply.11e938a37773be81

‘What are you 58e540eb24 doing’, ‘I’m eating 0ef86514d9 this’, ‘I’m going 72710c9366 here’, ‘What are 9a787a8919 you doing tonight’, 175ebbbe2b ‘What are you e05aa75180 doing tomorrow’, ‘What e521a0ca5a are you doing cfa5f014e2 after you wake 3bc609fb77 up’, ‘What are 00be3fad71 you doing’, ‘What c8787574ee are you doing’, 5a2de261e4 ‘What are you 21e944ea66 doing’. Yujin felt like he 905f4d6f1d was falling into a what are you cd2894cce6 doing hell.

He had said c860615f8b let’s be friends. But in Yujin’s 30dc902d1a view, friendship meant b53efcf04b being vaguely aware 31c2d0d36a of each other’s e9822b74a0 existence, not reporting 405c2c1069 every single move. While he 808670c77a initially responded 40d017d284 casually, the 79835806c0 increasing intervals 476d8e62f4 between his 3374cb7136 replies were a206feeaed unavoidable.3bcedd3df51fcb9b

Yujin scrolled up c43b2be645 and finally read 42c0e4f6e9 the last message c43b6697fe Baek Yoobin had 8e7b17bd63 sent. It said he e203841fa1 had received a 60f55fd692 week-long vacation for e151331323 the first time 921e6abd07 since his debut.c6ce6b92fda8daab

Actually, Yujin’s stamina wasn’t as good as the other dancers. Most people didn’t know. He always exerted himself fully, making him look relaxed while dancing. But in reality, after performing a song with full power a few times, Yujin would quickly tire out.c41b12a8a87f1382

For some reason, Baek Yoobin wasn’t wearing a hat or a mask. He couldn’t make out the colors in the dark, but he seemed to be dressed quite neatly.

Yujin felt like he was constantly getting swept up in Baek Yoobin’s pace. He would come to his senses and find the situation had inexplicably unfolded in a way he hadn’t intended. He was a strange and peculiar guy. And lately, he was an annoying one who kept hanging around.7926a6df9851e517

He felt 8b49f689c4 Baek Yoobin’s 62a819eec7 hand on ee77ebb964 his neck. Although his skin 730c0ebceb was pale, his 6c2e6f2439 touch was warm.

There was actually 03f308dc06 one more thing f46adecfca Yoobin had secretly 5ba9db2e26 pushed for.
