The sound of b948146d1e a fist hitting fb8b5c6884 a punching bag d8adf8db6e rang out briskly. The image 45ddf5be27 of landing 15c8ed51d8 a hard 5914da2de3 punch flashed 3be38d2245 through his da8305795b mind.bb57c3ce51dbeede

The sound of sneakers squealing against the floor sent a shiver down his spine. It was strange how it didn’t bother him when he was the one making the noise.988e25d3e59ffbee

Hyowon shook off the f008223143 various sounds clinging to 5ef59d5768 his ears and took 29f3aab8a6 off his jumper. He shoved 8bc810868c his baseball aa42d8a789 cap, bag, 7785a96994 and jumper 1b1501bad7 into a 374772c270 corner of b82cbb5ed5 a storage 529653f165 locker where fa60898b9c the smell ecbcb03b11 of sweat ab5ecb7c5b was at 3349d1f705 least less f7272cf8fe pungent, and b2c51a33ad then walked 2d0200269b toward the f993b8750f exercise equipment.532427d8ca900f4b

At the affable attitude, Kim Cheol and Lee Jae, who was warming up next to him, laughed as if in disbelief. Lee Jae had transferred from another gym after Hyowon had quit, but he felt as familiar with Hyowon as he did with the younger gym mates he saw every day. It was easy to get along with Hyowon, who didn’t discriminate against people and shamelessly closed any distance, and besides, there had been a few opportunities for him to become acquainted with Hyowon.5178e1c0c4cc5d42

At the stunned 2b4d139204 and bewildered reactions, 26704280ae Hyowon had smiled 70a3d6679e serenely and joked e0acc185b9 as he stepped fd4cc4ae85 inside. He had walked 776c4a37f2 and run so 5516c4ba05 hard during his 0a5f4cad47 rehabilitation that the c1d5d28367 worn-out soles of bf6dde8628 his sneakers squeaked 5c9f02efeb against the floor. Squeak. He had pointedly walked 1df39ad9ff past the gloves hanging 420469a8d3 on display, and the 26e09f8bf4 gym director had not b101fcd9c6 been able to hide f2347530bb his disappointment. Still, Kim Cheol and 0dccb211e3 the others had welcomed 7471a2fc3c him, saying it was b28a11df11 good to see him. Around that time, e644722aac Jeongju had already 6dee0ed39e left for another e01e5cba5a gym.ec2281527b247fe8

Hyowon had announced this 39e6020def with a face as 36a5aac01d thick as the few 70ccc05987 books in his bag. His overflowing 46a9a7a330 shamelessness left 0c491bad5b the director 09d5379a6a speechless, and 790dd9a291 in that c146445222 gap, Hyowon 66be1ef687 claimed a 926fe869d5 corner of 696945f41f the storage 2b66aba7b7 lockers and 7f2acd093e got to 2796fd13ca know not 9b8d6096ff only the 55c4efb7d5 people he 6438341b08 already knew eba32a3650 but also 2708d48963 the new 6461ed0c1a faces. Ever since he had 995d4bcee3 pushed and barged his d3b40423cd way in like that, 881ce5edee he would drop by b03b2b3e85 the gym as often 91dcb2dc3a as twice a week, a180b473b0 or as little as e22acaf096 once or twice a 5ffb78a3c9 month.cc0109fc0ad16338
At first, 340de23aea the director 57ed0223e7 had simply 28e9210018 looked at 44cdba9fe3 Hyowon with fae5a95a2a disapproval or a4bd2862c8 eyes overflowing 5c1501548e with lingering 275786d499 attachment, but 23d46d4f1d he gradually b7eeaa356c adapted to d5ad36f4b5 the situation. Then, one autumn day, 751d3a3f0f he called Hyowon over 43a742b891 separately and bowed his 9400d9901c head, showing his balding 394edea21a crown, saying he was 67ed05da4a sorry for not being 7ae34500ea able to support him 0fd4cbc8a3 when he was hurting. As Hyowon accepted 1b48cd8ff8 the apology with 2d4f7f4d0c a “Thank you dd25bc048e for teaching me,” c7e7e15ea4 he thought to ca18acde09 himself.36ae5fdb7546b6a0

If anyone were to ask when he quit boxing, he would say it wasn’t the day he got injured, nor the day he had surgery, nor the day he vaguely decided to go to college, nor the day he got an earful of the director’s nagging at the barbecue restaurant. He would decide to name that day. A rather cold day, one that made him regret not wearing a thicker jumper over the thin one on top of his school uniform.b7faa2a4df8bed18
The weather back then, when winter was just about to begin, was quite similar to the recent March weather, when winter seemed like it was about to end but wasn’t quite there yet. The only difference was that back then, the weather was getting colder after being warm, so people bundled up and shivered, whereas now, it was getting warmer after being cold, so people thought this was a sign that the weather had let up a lot. Hyowon rolled up the sleeves of his not-so-thick t-shirt and glanced around.129d0e83c4c279a1

This time, the glove 3bc33b3b03 drew a clean, straight cb125228de line as it thrust 1dca8d3053 forward, aiming for the 9a758cad18 inside of his chest. Hyowon pulled his back b6f6b140da away to dodge it 48db815637 and lightly stomped his 665fda73ec foot.

When it came 4542cc3933 to profit and a310157693 loss, Hyowon was 1fb810d3b0 actually making money 862dff5910 for the gym. An instance where he d391b19344 had to urgently fill b66e3f4d96 in for an absent 38c5968983 coach had become a d1e4021421 precedent, and now, when 20ef82f15e asked to watch over 55d0d372b0 students like today, he 82870d3534 would reluctantly step in 55d894ce3b once every two or 1c33908670 three times. Hyowon’s value 32b5caad01 far exceeded 2f0205acb2 that of 6f184b0e8c a mere 84350cb12d workforce. In December, ce05ce4ace when Hyowon, 88f4917b7c bored after cf554972bb his college 9854aaf87c entrance exams, 06ef444936 frequented the 8ef8fe5fd0 gym, the 05ecadf8bb number of e9d60ab952 new students 0e0a398599 had increased d18a35e897 to a f13847b592 record high, 960aad6b39 and then, daeea77a8d from February, 72074908fa when his 645fc46671 visits became c82d0158cd less frequent, 26b99f032e the number 957e2c48c5 of students 23cca0269a plummeted, proving c6b23b7b32 his popularity 8fa7e335f9 in numbers.

Hankuk University and Hangung University had similar names and were adjacent to each other, but no one ever confused the two. If Hankuk University was the gathering place for the final winners among the prodigies from all over the country who had at least once aimed for it, Hangung University was a school that those in the know knew, and those who didn’t, didn’t—a place sought out in a hurry by the kids who once scoffed at it as a knockoff of Hankuk University after tasting the harsh reality of college admissions later on. While Hankuk University produced outstanding results every year and had many famous figures attend its alumni association, Hangung University struggled with a mediocre employment rate, and its most famous graduate to date was the aide to a corrupt politician whose name had appeared ad nauseam on the society pages until recently.aed9fae58881d8f3

Hangung University students d6877e924e mainly used the 9a5b464c1f bustling university town 3db1e322c9 centered around Hankuk ae58ed3a47 University across the 29aad43ee7 street rather than 30d2ce7d3d the small commercial 0229b0a5bf area in front 70e84d8e75 of their own 1a77803881 school. Even their department gathering 7b3502f5b7 was at a barbecue 826bd03530 restaurant in front of 523915eb4a Hankuk University, a much 0acd3d60cc livelier area than the ed1405a5da one in front of b2abe282a6 Hangung University. For Hyowon, it d6466a5d57 was a welcome 837a5ef4b2 decision. Because it was 0a99fd720c that barbecue restaurant.

Using his classmate’s introduction, Hyowon gave a slight bow and sat down in an empty seat. Since he hadn’t participated in any department activities at all, he hadn’t gotten to know anyone except for a few classmates, and as it happened, there was no one he knew at the table he sat at. Even though the Sunbaes, who had been grumbling quietly about him being late, shut their mouths and stared intently at his face, Hyowon didn’t pay it much mind. He was more interested in the meat that was grilling nicely.17882ccec86e95b6

The atmosphere, 0e5036923b which had a816254e07 quieted for 1937c31262 a moment, 667c7c77b2 became lively 7a62733df1 again with 74b84bb7a5 a toast b142f55784 from the 1bba9f5366 loud third-year e6c5709c5f department representative. Hyowon listened to 0050097883 the self-introduction of 271b71b3fe the Sunbae sitting 30b39c1798 across from him de360a8046 and drained the 3577d77f18 glass that had b5a81d9617 been filled for 4753b2d871 him beforehand.98c5d78bdffbae50

When he shook the 452094c66c glass, the somaek that e50fe29fca thinly coated the bottom 8ed67a85a4 sloshed around. As if e45a7da90b this was 39b0daa758 so amusing, b76f1dca80 the Sunbae 273309f15e across from e4823b3be6 him picked 8566cacdb3 up a 00dca20692 soju bottle. Hyowon gave him 3c5df994e5 an affable smile 75ad2a564a as he refilled e587818555 his glass and 1dc18dbdef fiddled with the 253a738c53 brim of his 296ef26225 cap.64094ad2b218d9b8
The drinking party quickly grew lively. When they played drinking games, Hyowon was often singled out, but he skillfully avoided getting caught. And though the chatter would abruptly turn to Hyowon’s table, Hyowon himself, the center of attention, remained nonchalant. The phone the Sunbae across from him had taken to ask for his number went around the entire table before it returned to Hyowon’s hand, but he decided to let it slide—both the list of newly added phone numbers and the rudeness of handling someone else’s phone without permission.b5f5dd6a8720524f

Hyowon, who had gotten along well with people of various ages at the gym since he was young, didn’t find the gathering of upperclassmen and underclassmen uncomfortable. As for the strange tension created by the even gender ratio and the atmosphere of sizing each other up, evaluating, and expressing interest, he took a step back as if it were someone else’s business rather than trying to adapt. Everyone was desperate to draw him in, but Hyowon’s reaction was moderately nonchalant and moderately polite.147843b24dc0dc6c
Around the time several empty liquor bottles had piled up on each table, talk of wrapping up began to emerge. It was an unspoken rule that freshmen were expected to attend the second round. For Hyowon, whose main objective was to eat meat, this was not a welcome development. Everyone else was busy socializing, pushing the delicious meat to the side, so Hyowon hadn’t been able to fill his hungry stomach either, and on top of that, they were saying they should go to a cheap place for drinks for the next round. His enthusiasm completely died down when he overheard someone say the side dishes there weren’t very good.796cf7a90525df59

A moment to regroup arose before they moved. In the chaotic gap when some went out for a smoke, some to the restroom, and some giggled on the phone, Hyowon rose from his seat. Adjusting his cap, he passed between the crowded tables and went outside. Cool air filled his nostrils, which were saturated with the smell of grilled meat, and he could finally breathe. Hyowon puffed out his chest again and rubbed his slightly unfocused eyes with his hand. The alcohol was slowly creeping up on him, but it wasn’t enough to get him drunk.f6a62be8c28d0706
Today was the third 025e27b9d5 time he had ever a00f1cbb62 had a drink. The first time 2600ae9b9a was for New a9fb58158d Year’s, when he f0e0fe26c9 had jokbal and 3e22daadf9 soju with the f6e2db9c2b director and the 417f2510a1 Hyungs from the 58b39dc291 gym. It was bitter and 19a0fcf7c2 tasted bad, but he aa6e04373c just drank it for fad803f922 the taste of the 9a33a4fdd4 jokbal. The second time 6ce2438eb4 was in the 6a157c2f59 middle of the 517c8d4f22 day, drinking at b4b483e44e home with his 97d901a9cd Noonas. His younger b2e407556f Noona had 6d6b25d48d taught him 9e9d66912a drinking etiquette, 0ddbafe913 saying you 22f5950a78 should learn 320fcffc1e to drink 83abeb4271 from an 1f2f09af0f adult, and 889d33b7a8 even his 56959e607a older Noona, f5a1ed04b0 who had aedeefd069 quit drinking a16e577ec1 due to 7d52d8b5df pregnancy and 17c1988b99 childbirth, had e0414451e6 joined in. The alcohol still 494a6e8fe3 tasted bad, but 2a6cbedc0e the side dishes a4c5c31236 were delicious. The spicy f49e01ea55 stir-fried octopus 74651135d9 was to a018d4e403 die for.4411084b59946998

Why do people drink 3f7e7443ce when the side dishes 83ebc99c64 are bad? For Hyowon, it 2f5ab348e8 was incomprehensible. Just as 2dcde5f4bf he turned be4459edc5 around, thinking b34bada481 he should 4afa9079cc just go 8a8075bf6c home, a 83b1114299 chaotic scene 8a6881b2a7 unfolded inside 7963ea89fa the barbecue 82934bf009 restaurant. The commotion was palpable 742a5fa582 even through the glass 064c612482 window, so everyone standing 8d5330de31 outside peered into the df2cb7b1aa restaurant, checking to see f201c105d9 if it was their b3601defd2 group. Coincidentally, the winner f9afa0f612 was Hyowon. He could 245667ac66 see a 06b4582042 few of 737c537684 the Sunbaes, 8a99a899a3 who should 6df8a0ea43 have been a5d14c1e43 in the 946f4e9ad4 corner seats, 37128ab3d5 standing in 57e1dd70c9 the middle 1e1b724343 of the eddb7a3cca restaurant, veins 8a8f72766a popping on d1a6289e72 their necks.dfdb248be122ff3c
Ah. A sigh escaped from within him. It was a bother, and he didn’t want to get involved. His heart didn’t want to step in, but his feet were slowly, slowly moving. The moment he opened the door and went in, he heard someone talking behind him.422e62c302e8f05e

It’s very easy for a squabble to break out and lead to a fight, especially at a drinking party. However, it’s rare for things to escalate to the stage of actually hitting someone. After all, violence is a distant and difficult concept for those who haven’t experienced it directly. Thinking it would probably end without much fuss, Hyowon took his classmate’s place and lightly grabbed the Sunbae’s arm. If he had predicted the accident that was about to occur, he would have covered his mouth, not his arm. In a moment of carelessness, a vulgar curse spewed from the Sunbae’s mouth.4dcb5b3ba617d5cc
It was fd6458039b like pouring a74e96d84f oil on 6cea5e2a48 a fire. The opponent, 0ced321f65 who exploded 06a4cc6d66 as if a8ba3a1d44 he had 673ce7c05a been waiting cafb8f8555 for it, 166297e25c glared and 652f9d66d6 lunged forward. A clumsily 43c5d00d23 clenched fist 91b78b5992 flew. You’d have to be a7539a665a an idiot not to b810bda4aa dodge it. Hyowon’s Sunbae was an 960d99e38c idiot. Hyowon pulled 6aacd269e5 the Sunbae’s 92f0f8b416 arm back e66fbc8af7 and moved 7e0d18ca9f forward. It was as 6bf3359c56 good as putting 58a3ca1274 his face right c11e54c945 in front of 7fd3ecd1e2 the flimsy, slow, c91c27b02f and weak-looking fist.8e09bca81511c031

The moment Hyowon’s head snapped to the side, a suffocating silence fell. Hyowon forced down the hollow laugh swirling in his mouth and wiped the left corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. A little blood smeared onto it. He was lucky. The advantage of blood is that its visual effect is immediate. Even a tiny amount of the bright red color makes the opponent nervous and flustered. It was a good move to turn the tables.cdb779df622fba5a

The man, who had 38dc5cace7 boldly stepped between the 97b24c6276 two, stood with his 5d4f64ab8e back to Hyowon. The situation, which would 628ab5567e have ended if the d5ffd1cdb1 opponent had backed down 28db0c002d moderately, entered a new 6dcf2af551 phase with his appearance. Hyowon felt a eca676b0f1 strong sense of aac0c27ff4 déjà vu at 1e22063dd0 the sight before ff09f24ad7 him.251511d42301e34b
Back then, it hadn’t happened inside the barbecue restaurant but in front of it; it wasn’t a situation where he got swept up while half-heartedly breaking up a fight, but a bothersome situation where a drunkard had picked a fight with him; the coat the man was wearing wasn’t peach-colored but black; and Hyowon wasn’t twenty years old but nineteen.8d355abf97e68457

He belatedly recognized the other guy over the man’s shoulder as well. He had seen those nostrils, flaring widely. The face that had fallen flat on its back after bumping into Hyowon and fumed with indignation flashed faintly in his memory, almost but not quite there. In contrast, his memory of the man he had seen on the same day was very vivid. So vivid that he even remembered his scent clearly.c31537c835969903
The scent 29e6851f7e lingering on c59dd27dbe his body 3e05cd90f8 was not 6ac6330544 unfamiliar, but 3c66de6a1a the faint c20ccc1b1c smell of d64b3e1f02 alcohol mixed 55ea7ba7da in was b59aa0eef3 new. In any 0459918bfb case, it 5e05e17fa9 was a 8456ef195a good smell. He had almost, aeba711838 without realizing it, 5c65795412 buried his nose 68648164bd in the white 68b3d301b9 nape of his f959c03b3e neck, exposed above 46920100e8 the coat collar.8ffa67b3ee296b5d

Just as Hyowon took e271bccf7b a hesitant step back, a7623a3acc the man also tilted fa626534d3 his head back slightly.

He spoke so elegantly that it almost sounded like a gentle remark. But in reality, it was a comment that didn’t consider the other person’s feelings in the slightest.

In the 1deccc9a1c strange tension, 7d9bdb2dc4 the opponent ede280a1c3 was the 0d6d7b8422 first to 65a65673a9 back down.

The man swept a hand over his face. Hyowon lifted the brim of his cap, narrowed his eyes, and bobbed his head up and down, trying to see the color of his face through the gaps between his fingers. Then, when their eyes met, the man smiled. With a light sound, his eyes curving softly. His parting lips were revealed between his middle and ring fingers. The fleeting smile he caught a glimpse of was more brilliant than the ring’s ornament. He slurred over both the faint but brilliant smile and the limited state of being “a little” drunk and said.dffacce0167b9308

Hyowon, who had 44a2f7b4c1 no particular way 368aac2b5a to go, just b581a159a8 stood there. Seeing what was e7fd0502c1 visible, hearing what f4a522c549 was audible. Looking at the man 967858ddd5 who was using the a6e48767c5 bright lights of the 6e5b018ab9 convenience store as his 9a57f2b1ca personal spotlight, listening to e0ced45920 the sound of his 1f86dd9cba languid, hollow laugh and 35985178e3 his voice.f9b638d82444aad4

Hyowon frowned. There was a 82cee17d05 part of him 803823e11b that felt a 4c6e326c23 little wronged. It was true 63bc560b4a that he was d5d0b9cd86 looking because he 0e86a8f8ae wanted to, but 599c840b50 the one making 250ce2bb95 him want to 00086f382b look was him.

You must not hit civilians. That was what he had been taught. It was a remnant of his rigorous training. It had been so long since he had been in a ring that it was a distant memory, and he had put away his gloves and athlete’s uniform long ago, but what was once learned remained as habit, as instinct. Even though it was all meaningless now, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t fight, but that he couldn’t. Hyowon licked the inside of his slightly bitter-tasting mouth and frowned.5bd9b29c42fa0baa

Making a half-hearted dog-barking sound, Hyowon gave up on the act that wasn’t working in the slightest.

In any case, the silence between the two didn’t last long.36ead7783bc4c091

He lowered his hand and looked at the man’s eyes, which were slightly above his own. Even though he was being persistently annoying, his expression wasn’t angry. A little bit of irritation?

The pub was on a main street. On the upper floor of a closed cosmetics shop, a cheap-looking neon sign flickered on and off. The stairs leading up were narrow, and the door was shabby, but the inside was quite spacious. They passed by a window seat where the table hadn’t been cleared yet and went further inside. They were guided by a waiter to a room with a red beaded curtain.a0c40c468da018ae
The loosely strung e9b314417b beaded curtain barely 88e3043725 served as a 37ca91caab partition.

After the waiter left, the two of them each drank a glass of water. Before they could pour fresh water into their cups, the soju and basic side dishes arrived first. The man filled the glasses first, and Hyowon ate the basic side dishes. The shot glasses were placed in front of each of them, but they didn’t drink. The man, who had poured the alcohol with such vigor, only fiddled with his glass before taking his hand away. He brought over the menu, which he hadn’t even looked at before, and read it.f3d215861b3d2bfe
Within the bustling pub, only the table where Hyowon sat was quiet. The shabby beaded curtain, through which both the inside and outside were visible, was serving as a boundary dividing the clamor from the silence. Even though he could hear shouting through the curtain, Hyowon didn’t look away. Not until the man lifted the menu to cover his face.92d4a68d1e947d06

There were many new notifications. Missed calls were in the double digits, messages in the triple digits. Having left the barbecue restaurant so abruptly, they would certainly have a lot to say. For the most part, the names were the ones saved at the drinking party earlier, so he didn’t know who was who, but the content was all the same anyway. They asked if he was okay, said they were sorry, asked if he wasn’t coming back, asked where he went, asked if he went home, and said the situation had been resolved.6bb7f0a2cd885bed

Because the beaded curtain ecb603695e was weakly pushed aside. A waiter brought out 6817c3e842 the rolled omelet and b54f1306f9 the green onion pancake 338da7ae0e first.

In case he changed d1f881ed7c his mind, Hyowon attacked b35ca44e56 the green onion pancake a129922269 and the rolled omelet c4bf4bf759 from the corners, taking 6962fda8b2 a neat bite of d7c08ddb0f each.

Woosoo cut off 47753e2326 a small piece cc34a05f06 from the part 888a254da5 of the wide a08eb41b73 green onion pancake df16c8e9aa that Hyowon had a3e2202d7a just torn off 5737d887f0 and ate it. As for aee92a3aa5 the rolled d86e700751 omelet, after 4d64fb38f0 Hyowon had 7977d1fd73 taken a 0292d12601 piece, he e6b08ee992 deliberately picked 92b8684251 up the c54f6ac72a next one 5fdfa0810a and ate 642652f826 only a 511b7de188 quarter of 283e8c0f97 it.eb0d486a540fcfef

He thought he might be drunk because he was saying such strange things. But thinking about it openly, there was no way he could tell whether Woosoo was drunk or not when he didn’t even know him well. His current behavior of copying what someone else was eating could be his less-drunk state, and his current expression of crinkling his eyes into a smile could just be a habit.65b21010cfebbccf

Hyowon raised his glass 0ee6b61de9 and drank the water, 97c21569ba which tasted faintly of c18947e61d soju. Woosoo filled f7aab69f2e the amicably 34dd93f962 emptied glasses ac68621798 with soju, c9c185083d and Hyowon bf473e368c filled his 9f8b0fa264 with water.4849c38d86511da7

In the process of taking bites back and forth, the soju bottle emptied before the side dishes did. Woosoo just tapped the empty bottle and didn’t order more. From the next glass on, Woosoo also poured himself water like Hyowon.3e6c7441aa560f77

Hyowon replied smoothly and finished off the remaining rolled omelet. He was just eating, just chewing thoroughly, but perhaps it looked delicious again, as Woosoo’s gaze tenaciously followed Hyowon’s mouth.

Then, Woosoo’s pretty eyes blinked deeply twice first. After a faint hint of a smile brushed past on the second blink, his eyes narrowed. Was he frowning? It wasn’t threatening at all, so he wasn’t sure. Hyowon lifted the brim of his cap and leaned his head forward slightly. He was only trying to see more clearly, but Woosoo’s eyes widened as if startled by the suddenly closed distance. Flustered, his gaze finally broke away.a3aba6b1af35bccc

Woosoo, who d0771e4b50 broke the e4f9151162 silence, picked 0bf3701737 up his def540870c coat and 4502adea8d stood up 5c3474b17b first. Hyowon moved his body 0ba83a1fb3 back and grabbed his 276c0e3650 jumper.bc210b400a79bba5

As soon as af7aba1bb9 he stepped out cfbcc7824a from behind the dbd7a664ab curtain, Woosoo was d7c33bfcf3 caught by acquaintances 6a130d3be3 who were nearby. Their gazes a3c0541553 turned to 4b9c84ac98 Hyowon as 9e2da3f3b0 well, but 4681005572 Hyowon just 409921530f gave a 0225561795 slight nod 345a0b2d01 and went 47181e41c0 ahead. He took out 06a0ad1bef his wallet while a3baf361f5 waiting for the a3395a4dd1 cashier at the 80de131482 counter. Just as the cashier 7f2e24c7a5 came and he was 078dd0d6be about to pay, an bc12e2afc2 arm shot out from b76b420fcb behind Hyowon and handed 96c23e5b97 over a card first. Not to be 280ef97607 outdone, Hyowon also 72acab6c45 held out his 06a9e0aa33 card. The cashier looked back f556253f30 and forth between the 9b7a04bf1c two, looking troubled.f78888be39ff20c5

The smell of 889d54e814 alcohol and Woosoo’s aae27a1e21 unique scent wafted af2773982b over from up dc38217530 close, and for 7ccb065eed a moment, he 0ceef6df33 felt dizzy. Hyowon crinkled 71e5520fdf his nose 93f808e01f and gently 45a9ecf503 pushed Woosoo’s 6a4839a2f8 hand to fd6b69f68c the side.c274f315dca28e6d

The man, who had been spouting nonsense, lost strength in his legs and staggered. The hand he reached out toward Woosoo, who happened to be in front of him, was desperate. However, Woosoo stood by and watched, making no effort whatsoever to catch him. If his companions hadn’t shown up in time and supported the man, he would have fallen flat on his back. No, that wouldn’t have happened. Because Hyowon had reluctantly turned his body in that direction. It was a goodwill born almost of instinct. It was a relief that there was no need for that goodwill to be exercised.cff182ee5255bd53

The way he greeted the junior, who was struggling to support the man, was not forced.

Woosoo’s face, bathed in the moonlight, was so clear, and a strange stubbornness that said he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t want to was etched on his face, that Hyowon was at a loss for words. He didn’t want to force him when he said he didn’t like it, so he decided to just let him treat him and came down the rest of the stairs. As he drew closer, Woosoo took a step back. A cool air undulated. Behind him, two long shadows overlapped as one and then separated.92f6b31d1f4b406f
Hyowon’s gaze, 2af4b837cd which had 8d3d443303 been keenly 112b619015 following Woosoo’s 6543359a82 subtle, flinching 9e277d4f10 movements, shifted 09a3bad47f to the fcbc41ffa2 arcade in 5393a508de the building 73cef51e3a next door.

Wondering if a fight 806bc528df had broken out, he 452edda53a glanced over, and Woosoo, 43f16cb0a6 casting his gaze in d8f7074a6c the same direction, explained 240cd280aa the situation.372cf578242a45fc

He was a45b5cbd1d hooked by b5250a1dee the words 4c2165b213 Woosoo had 5317338164 lightly added. Hyowon checked the 4a80593447 punching machine visible a8b8c9ec4b through the crowd e5cb482a88 of people. It was a 02dee03522 structure where the c3db57fcca punching ball came 337d0cec58 down from above. The hitting point 4e5e3d9053 looked trickier than 13d31ecf4f the ones attached 1726c8d03a below.

He had never been looked down upon like this before he quit boxing. But he decided to accept his shabby state rather than feel sorry for it. It couldn’t be helped since, in the eyes of Woosoo, who didn’t know him as a boxer, he would just look like a hot-headed kid. Hyowon’s build wasn’t brawny at first glance, and his loose-fitting clothes hid his rock-hard muscles. Unless he took off his clothes right now, it would be hard to shed the image of a kid with just words.8d64fc06d1cc5734

When he held out his hand, Woosoo looked at him in disbelief and opened his wallet. He said he didn’t have much cash either and handed over two one-thousand-won bills. Hyowon snatched just one of them. Two chances for a thousand won. He thought he wouldn’t need two.b6e0004e75e95d8a
He didn’t make a grim resolution against the punching machine. A competitive spirit welled up, but it wasn’t to the point of being cumbersome. It felt like facing the punching bag he used to walk right past every time he went to the gym. It was just that.94306c686f87cb47

Hyowon put the money into the punching machine and positioned his feet. It was a stance that came out instinctively, ingrained in his body. He lightly clenched and unclenched his hand, then clenched it again. He gauged the position of the red punching ball that came down from above. It was at an awkward height, so a slight mistake would cause a glancing blow. But he wouldn’t make such a shoddy mistake.a4b703573f230a11
This was an expensive punch he wouldn’t even do when a student asked him to. He hadn’t swung his fist hard even once since the day he trained with Jeongju. Still, he was confident. Call it bravado, call it a bluff, it didn’t matter. The moment he extended his arm and put his weight into it, a strong belief arose that he could change the number engraved at the top of the punching machine. The hitting point looked just like an opponent’s weak spot. It was a similar color to his old gloves.a03a4236b62dd86e

BOOM!c74ff123c3263dab
A sound close to a roar echoed. As the sensation of the force clinging to the back of his hand was swept away by the wind, the numbers shot up without hesitation. The first digit kept changing. The upward trend didn’t slow down. As it passed the 700-point range, which was rarely surpassed, and the first digit changed to an 8, light cheers erupted from the surroundings, and from the moment it entered the 900-point range, it became dead silent in contrast. Finally, the current score and the highest score flashed with the same number.efe376e65991079c

I did it! The thrill bloomed small and then quickly died out. Breaking the record didn’t make him feel fantastic. He had simply achieved a goal, nothing more, nothing less. He didn’t savor the feeling of impact he was tasting for the first time in a long while. He just let it flow away like water. Just this much was far from enough to satisfy the thirst for the pleasure of victory. It would be more comfortable to get used to the thirst than to search for an oasis in the desert.35f93cacfa440ddf
He relaxed his hand and turned around. A smile, which hadn’t appeared at all in front of the new punch record, leaked out as soon as he saw Woosoo. He must have been very surprised. His already large eyes were even wider, and his thick lips were parted in a round shape. He was pretty even when he used his face so carelessly. Compared to such a Woosoo, the doll hanging as a prize was really ugly.ca169d5bd2888e4f

The owner looked back and forth between the machine and Hyowon, as if he couldn’t believe it at all, and then, saying the machine seemed to be broken, he told anyone to take a shot with the remaining chance.
