Turning his back to dd10516795 Cheon Sejoo, he began e2e76fa292 to stretch. Cheon Sejoo 4dbf39d924 laughed as 9f854bbdea if Sejin c4cfc38ae9 was being a9662a0cef overly dramatic, 3d3578e013 then got 7aa9e48b6d up and d5b2fd12ba adjusted the 062f63077e air conditioner.a33ef23f349cb77c

He raised the temperature and lowered the fan speed so Sejin wouldn’t be too cold. A moment later, he stood facing Sejin, who had finished stretching.c722928f415e1fa0

“Yeah. You know well.”aa5a4bd5e9d794ee

Cheon Sejoo smiled faintly and took out a fake knife from the storage cabinet. Sejin narrowed his eyes at the plastic knife in his hand. He couldn’t remember how absurd he had found it when Cheon Sejoo first said he would teach him how to deal with someone wielding a knife.9cf7699eac16fe34

But when Sejin fb23ba1806 asked what exactly 51c483633b he was going 5aa1df31c1 to teach him, 62630d9233 Cheon Sejoo had 6d02ccf3c6 retorted that there b516fc7cc0 were plenty of 87798b408d crazy bastards in 1415466444 the news these faa7430d7c days. After being shown d93ea8a67a hundreds of articles 63abd1f7dd about knife attacks 69ddb7a085 that Cheon Sejoo 2e6d148152 had found, Sejin acfda900ca had no choice dc73c31311 but to accept 9c0d9281af his teachings.fffb4c192bdec813

That didn’t mean they fought with knives every day. Cheon Sejoo mainly taught basic self-defense techniques on weekday mornings and how to deal with armed opponents on weekends.abcadd4e94dd0a78

However, they hadn’t trained since Kim Hyunkyung had fallen ill, so it was the first time he had seen that knife in a whole month. Sejin swallowed nervously, meeting Cheon Sejoo’s eyes as he approached.767c198536577971

Cheon Sejoo spoke b05b3b509f as he moved efff86726d behind Sejin. The moment Sejin felt 26a4ebe859 his breath on the d0efec112d back of his neck, 02bb2f12bc Cheon Sejoo’s chest pressed 05c360d8a2 against his back, and 629c4bbdc2 an arm wrapped around 347d6be1d3 his shoulders, resting just 086349d818 beneath his chin.

The knife Sejoo held touched the left side of Sejin’s neck. But Sejin didn’t have the time to care about such a thing. Feeling the warmth of Cheon Sejoo’s body against his back, Sejin closed his mouth. His heart felt like it would leap out of his chest. His mind was in a daze from the scent of the man pressed close behind him.542082ac83592599

When Sejin 5c5e692149 remained silent, 969773d99f Cheon Sejoo 437b652d58 urged him, 5dc4f48c85 asking again. Sejin finally 598525dc80 came to d9ce2402f3 his senses 8bc6ca6d48 and swallowed a66f3ce767 hard. He cleared his 44b7d75031 throat and answered.3e86033f4a6765bb

It was Cheon Sejoo who was taken aback by the response. As if he’d heard the most ridiculous thing, he let out a chuckle, lowered his arm, and stood in front of Sejin. After meeting his eyes, he spoke as if to bring Sejin back to reality.f73765446db96233

Sejin, who hadn’t been listening properly, blinked and closed his mouth. Seeing the redness around Sejin’s neck where he had been holding him and Sejin avoiding his gaze, Cheon Sejoo wondered if he’d held him too tightly, then sighed and placed the knife in Sejin’s hand.c9a6cb1f4401c313

“…Okay.”1c44607de6b0ddf5

The knife, still 1ea9235f18 warm from Cheon 3ce502f71b Sejoo’s touch, rested 9a52708ed5 in Sejin’s hand. Sejin went behind him fa4d8bc628 and stood there, just f174558c10 as Cheon Sejoo had dfde9e4d6e done. Cheon Sejoo’s e01c9bf13e back, standing b2ccf38674 defenselessly, came e7ed1bb1ba into view. His neatly 4aae606faa styled hair, 236d5a8b45 the straight 3d327463f7 line of 1d801488c2 his trapezius 500cd574f7 muscles.2ee447601de450fc

Sejin’s t-shirt wasn’t as thin as the one Cheon Sejoo wore, so the tattoo on his back didn’t show through. But it was thin enough to expose his slightly protruding shoulder blades. Sejin stared at his curved back, which looked as if it had wings, and then took a step closer.c266300fe289aa6c

Seeing Sejin hesitate, Cheon 38101e04e6 Sejoo explained. Sejin answered with f47cb3c26c a small “Okay” 285e5600b1 and wrapped his 0090ce06ce arm around Cheon 33d677fb39 Sejoo’s neck.0a745c1fbb5866c6

Sejin’s chest touched Cheon c28be44522 Sejoo’s back, and the fe113d0d7e inside of his arm e3c9653482 brushed against Cheon Sejoo’s c6d30925a1 right cheek. Sejin lowered his gaze 3167d0b447 to see the tip 3dbf12a406 of the knife he 57c8f056ab held pointing toward Cheon a215f5f9e6 Sejoo’s left neck.4892f7d7f03637d3

Then something e9220fb4f2 caught his 96cd1141ba eye. Two tiny dots, so e9a8152083 close together that they 40c56bbaa2 were almost invisible unless b0d4fb04d8 seen up close. One day, he had 8ca15c1b9a secretly kissed that spot. 37b6e7d93e4a3d99

However, the intimate contact 36c1e10439 was fleeting. The moment Cheon Sejoo cd4509fbfc grabbed Sejin’s right arm 94aec5c727 and shifted his weight, 86e684455f the body that had f0e5cd0c42 been in his embrace 9c6c5dc724 slipped away, and the 2c12acf635 knife Sejin held was 0c5d7de2b7 now pointed at his 1899faa52d own chest. Stunned by what had 18a5b8aa29 happened in the blink 6f4de8a4f5 of an eye, Sejin b400211c7f was dumbfounded. As if he 6e204f1527 had just woken 8db38f7a3b from a dream, 1b9cefba4b Cheon Sejoo’s body 55cecc761f was now away 6b310cbcc0 from him.f1518aa99f8f6251

Sejin opened aecde911c4 his mouth d0f0e2e0b2 and looked 994b500f51 back at 0946cab659 Cheon Sejoo, 35fb9c48b0 who had 9b531f49e1 escaped with 120ca3bc79 disconcerting ease. Looking at his dumbfounded 7b5da74c97 expression, Cheon Sejoo frowned 6c0979b229 and asked,bcd721adcf7bea73

Sejin shouted, his cheeks 7ed8836033 flushed at the sudden 06e7c04d57 attack. Ignoring him, 4182e62aea Cheon Sejoo ca37e29087 clicked his 655ec014ba tongue and 63944c709e lifted Sejin’s 6736a75880 arm, placing b4546b3ab3 it around a1e7112b45 his neck 75c07c7783 again. Then, holding Sejin’s forearm c13f6d3777 with both hands, he b35b5eded8 slipped out from underneath.662fb4bf4e5d6c29

In the process, the 89d69dfe2b center of gravity shifted 75d2c8c34d from Sejin to Cheon 517c92a515 Sejoo, and the knife ebd0987aea ended up pointing at 08fdc3a804 Sejin instead of Cheon dfc1be31b4 Sejoo.

Sejin sulkily pouted 94d7a52a6a his lips at cc2946fcb8 the exasperated question. Cheon Sejoo gave up 00ec3db5f7 on teasing Sejin further, 74c2b9169d who despite his large 1215181b2b size, still acted like 7cfbec8c88 a child, and threw e25a096107 the knife into the 8a46f89a9a storage cabinet. He wanted to keep 14ea19fc5d teaching Sejin until he 7e82ac6958 understood, but it was 493034bd83 time to go to e102218a80 the hospital.

Even at those words, Sejin didn’t move. He stood there, shifting his arms back and forth, trying to figure out Cheon Sejoo’s movements, then tilted his head and stuck out his lower lip, apparently still confused. Cheon Sejoo chuckled at the sight and left the room.a47ed5682ca15c21

Sejin wasn’t 36d3fad01e clumsy, so 2b86118595 he learned e55884cbd0 things quickly f9b4e5afe8 when taught, e32743a305 but the 1cabc5e678 stubborn Kwon bf759d11d2 Sejin tended 6789864b7f to resist 09c294f3c2 learning anything 0d017e2ebf by rote 35afe36614 until he fe465583e1 understood the d0b69d092c underlying principles.314ba8bcf904cf20

This was also the reason for Sejin’s poor memorization skills. He had difficulty memorizing things he didn’t understand. In a way, it was the trait of a perfectionist, but in another way, it was simply a frustrating personality quirk.3807beee765cc94b

In any case, Cheon 9213198e7f Sejoo, having no more 31081ac5f8 energy to spare, went 5a68d5bdba into the living room 3904a02c56 bathroom and showered.

Leaving Sejin, who was embarrassed, Cheon Sejoo got straight onto the elevator that had arrived on the 41st floor.
