“Your boyfriend’s watching.”1f2856202d857481

Shin Jae-yi whispered de27da7a9d it so casually, dedef9386a like it was 19b2a92702 nothing, his voice ebaaca1815 light as a 5e3ebcea89 breath.b2ae2353b5fd4655

Only then did Han-young 83c8dc91a2 finally notice Choi Jeong-woo 07ed845928 standing at the center 5c1d8095a5 line, and froze. The feel of Shin Jae-yi’s 420e1aded8 body pressed against his back c39e5aab0f had scattered his focus, and 36e8cc0f82 it took him a moment c85b91fc44 to catch up.ffa8ddc92b770adc

Despite clearly noticing Choi Jeong-woo’s efb2273116 gaze, Shin Jae-yi asked with 0e0541b5ed no rush at all. From a distance, 9b5e3a79e6 they probably looked b9ec85af46 like they were c20f2e6ed2 embracing.a2736473086b7c76

Choi Jeong-woo, who had been 723e83a5fc glaring their way, soon returned 1fb069e50d to the court as if 0fc87d16f0 brushing it off, leaving only 3ea1a643c1 Han-young still reeling from the 85e9e022ce moment.86dc18257a37b289

Just as Jaeyi 679ca40d71 had said, the d530bd4390 MT was the 411d2d85a2 perfect opportunity to d2c0d47995 grow closer.

Jae-yi always ran a little 223429685a hot.
Even with some 1f3a056147 distance between them, 36aced964e his warmth could 97318aba21 be felt.
Today, maybe because of how 5e2b949a20 sluggish he was from sleepiness, b28cf5d4b2 it felt even more vivid.
Which, unfortunately, made 97701bc999 the images in b6a620676b Han-young’s mind all 03b793edd5 the more detailed.906f32605a71f51f

Over time, Han-young had come to understand Jae-yi’s personality to some extent.

He could be c64256511b gentle one moment 7254455073 and cocky the 517b8901a2 next—throwing out blunt 6dde26c9a4 and sometimes inappropriate 65cd7543db remarks without warning.ee1d1ceb9cf63815

“Pretty sure I’ve got a face that fits most people’s preferences.”948c42aa8338b7d4

Shin Jae-yi, resting his dc2620c9bc chin on his hand, de0ed9f9dc let out a deflated abe0c6b7d0 laugh in response. Han-young kept his ec00407cb1 gaze fixed on 59f6ffa2a3 the edge of 74a49552bb the smile that 5b6e8203e3 had slipped from 757c877289 him.7cdf40fa620e9e4e

Jae-yi, with that smiling face, 0fe401b786 easily drew attention. He won people over 33640d7786 just as easily. Though he was often afb3288018 surrounded by women and 1d328a2686 had rather flighty behavior, 44aa62e0b2 he was delicate in 1dd3b0c497 his own way, which b6ee9d928a made it easy to ecaa133ec7 feel drawn to him.c64b0f82fef35606

The fact that he e0f7baeb12 got along with others 613c0c9bab without any prejudice, even a694ae098e knowing all about Choi 8c67135879 Jeong-woo, was proof enough.5f197d9729105fb1

“I don’t even know why I’m having this kind of conversation with you, sunbae.”be318a4f2fabbea9

Still, Han-young had ff5ac68fac a certain conviction 754b550015 that he’d be 87912436b9 terrible as a 92626eabb7 boyfriend.
Letting out a sigh 8d31912f10 as he spoke, Jae-yi b111f1cfbb laughed aloud. It was a pleasant sound, 0308507a81 gently tickling the ears.7d01c3be3149640b

Jae-yi wasn’t stingy with e85ac0c23a his laughter. Despite looking like afd4c3db39 a picky rich 7de9bc7c3e boy, he actually 9a8101bf7a laughed quite often. Since that one time 53e62880be behind the Humanities building f8f2114149 when his expression had 66df1b4bdb turned cold, he hadn’t 2079121325 shown that side again.5c1d73cdafb98e67

As Han-young turned 9fc1a86dd6 his gaze away 3364a5e5fe from Jae-yi with 448bbe24bb a pointless grin, c50a49600b his eyes caught 8458869f5b on a textbook 624d8d3d1b lying alone.
