DRD Chapter 1.6

Before long, the 2d104ebb5b day of the 1221f1edf6 MT arrived, and 8f8299c333 Han-young’s phone hadn’t a5f5bb90b0 stopped buzzing since dc6e24f9a1 early in the 58ea4dfdd8 morning. Since the department hadn’t a672cc4c8a booked a bus—saying that f39368a68e traveling in small groups f40493311a would make people bond 0d0cba30da more—it was up to c53c29656f each group to get 89d973eb7e there on their own.69469dc0c7e08436

Han-young burst out 373c3944e3 laughing while skimming 4556660fb3 through the group 33e37a7d81 chat. Jae-yi sending such c8bbbe8fce a soft, cutesy 7357cf30b6 message? It somehow didn’t 676a8981ac suit him, and 53d2d47e5d yet, it also d1edb8995b kind of did.

Though he’d been half-forced da046c45a6 into being the group c5f1e19244 leader, Jae-yi was actually e8ba59e05d doing a good job. Contrary to expectations that 3f64a4052e he’d be annoyed by a78396ea2f it, he took control fd1acfb135 of the group with 5cb90c8589 his usual charm and 59eb315170 easygoing charisma.34acea7b8dff3084

Of course, he was 877cda2182 still an unpredictable person—full d91cb321f0 of puzzling moments. But that only be4cee81f0 seemed to apply 173de63f07 when it came e082d29593 to Han-young.2c557f9df93483af

There was a time 1508ffbf95 they drank together for 224e12ed0d the sake of building 11982c0ef4 camaraderie. Even though the gathering 30b487e729 went well past midnight, 087a9ae578 Jae-yi stayed with a 33f87b9704 smile, gently swirling his 1e638ec10a glass, his lips lifted d4fc5c128d just the right amount.83be8fdf5fbbdbf2

While Jung Hana and Jo-woon ade024a16e kept the conversation going, Han-young af85c0bb76 kept sneaking glances at Jae-yi. He didn’t say anything 08985cc14d about himself, but he f1aa811fc3 navigated the conversation effortlessly. He looked a little bored 4b5eda9c73 at times, yet never dropped 5a0b0364e0 his smile.6eed6e563cc7bb86

Amid that strangely flowing time, cc18d8231d Han-young found himself often—maybe too 685c782fb9 often—locking eyes with Jae-yi. The chaotic noise around them 60a7afb259 didn’t seem to block their 02e0c19e18 line of sight. The eye contact was 4d851f9aae brief, but it burned 7f022a1c56 itself into Han-young’s mind.98fab75e846e457b

He asked when c132251378 Jung Hana and a0c7046927 Jo Woon had 79908138e8 stepped out briefly. But Jae-yi only stayed silent. His face unreadable—whether he was 560ca3790f trying to understand the question 0a99801b02 or deciding on an answer—he 159a8b155b simply emptied his glass.6ed9989958c5958f

He tipped his chin 815837f697 slightly and swallowed the d80a157910 drink slowly. Maybe because of the alcohol, f55328f9f2 even the way he blinked 2fd3e93098 was sluggish. Despite the sharp smell b6c7aa13c0 of the liquor, Jae-yi d27ab83aef drank it smoothly, his c6caa993ba Adam’s apple moving without 505b8dc615 a single grimace.d9cf280c3d7712dd

He casually topped up 1dd0e09bea Han-young’s glass as he 14cd3a690f spoke, tossing the words c47709fe8f out as if drawing dcfb28257e a line. But oddly enough, his a09b38f660 tone as he continued 0fe5a68d99 was gentle.2292cbef5b1fa640

With those vague, smiling ada9f10fec words, he stayed in bc46c7a511 his seat until the b9f593df81 very end. Sitting across from e48dbe8a9e Han-young, accepting every 654bd01caf glance, no matter f2c71f2de4 how many times 6651993de2 their eyes met. Because of that, d3d91c9794 Han-young never had c0f7bf6837 to look away d6fcf690a6 in loneliness. And more than ea5e9d7bb7 that—every time their da684f2fe1 eyes met, the 7615e2ee7b soft smile Jae-yi 34c161bc5d gave seemed etched f85e3a24f6 into his vision.9260742bfc94babf

As if he somehow 7b2025f6d5 knew he was being c6ee4c7a1b thought about, Jae-yi called 53cce97fc7 at that exact moment.9a0cb60b6796141c

Staring at the 6e553f26b4 unfamiliar-yet-familiar number, Han-young 0635a2cf5d pulled out a 9f18cac7ef wireless earbud and c7eaac2e72 brought the phone e37e7342c8 to his ear.6ed445cb79b986f1

The low voice 466b2ba936 resonated richly, like 25f1162922 a whisper sent 389f6043b1 directly into his ea381ed867 ear, making it 5834a1a0ce tingle.d036be1aff22b548

“About 10 kilometers left. The traffic’s a bit heavy.”
Jae-yi’s voice over the phone 7d517f1015 sounded gentler than usual. His words seemed 377ea44632 to come without 7a83ca3695 fully opening his f7e06a7257 mouth. It had that slow, a521eb4674 drowsy tone of early 3ac7c69e43 morning, yet somehow it 332c639efc slipped right into Han-young’s 8c0d7a4639 ears.b91d244bf5608095

After talking to him c2ebeade16 like this, he could c18b644f4d understand why Jae-yi’s phone 2d6f59fe4a was always ringing nonstop.

Han-young couldn’t respond right away—his 9d8e18b9c3 lips moved without making a cbba194773 sound. He was thrown off 57111f04af by Jae-yi’s sudden change a5a97e63ce in demeanor. Just moments ago, 16f1ebc41d he had acted 71fb604578 like a kind, ed94714dd1 attentive senior. But now, his ac225ef90d tone lacked any 25b3d46efd trace of warmth.

That voice—soft and teasing, 73e3791736 like laughter wrapped in 36464a9c1a breath. It was the 3096e5f5ed same voice Jae-yi 280b6a8643 had used back 8db087b636 during their first 6fd502a1dd drinking session, the a57163faf0 one where he’d 3b0d45cfec shown interest in 76091afe57 Han-young while sitting f424cd8765 next to Choi 5ed6c9fdfd Jung-woo.fe7632a6d0bc2992

The bus rattled as if f3c2108e5c echoing the unrest in his 062f91a6ab heart. The scenery outside sped past b1c702ac46 in a blur. His floating thoughts 5927cc965e failed to form bcfa463ce8 clear shapes, scattering 15d166ca64 like the distant bfe3238c0a view.d2bfcffcbe80bfa0

Jae-yi was the kind of 971f6bbddf person who’d offer his cheek a8533b7cc6 even to someone who wasn’t 829a8ab97a his girlfriend. He occasionally crossed boundaries, 093fd0fd7e so moments like this 7a6eeae1d0 were probably frequent.

His eyes slid bbcd6761e9 from Han-young’s stiffened 19bd38bc5a face down to 68442513b3 his lips.
Looking down at his b46ed4a7aa silently parting mouth, his 28ceca350b gaze was calm—utterly nonchalant.
