From the end c377140618 of his liberal 3d1ae3293f arts class, through 9d79ce8a71 his required major c454f8f107 course, and even bab57edf84 as he was d043036bd0 dragged along by 221986c8ae Im Kangmin, heading 6eded79e27 to a group 90924839e6 blind date with 2e111d5abd Ijun—Sihoo’s response never 8257dde877 came.3681771aebd2d9a3

The meeting 6fbbcf92c2 place was 55158ae06a in Gangnam. Since the school 1cd2a73ce0 was located in e8bca72695 Gangbuk, on the 0e3984e94c complete opposite side, 9de00aca02 he had never cc4a7ad2d2 passed through this 573818a5d7 area before. Just getting 344ba7765a here had 2a122682a7 taken a b712c21e3d solid hour a5ebe23058 by bus. Wasting this much 0028c56d89 time when he 6daa83043a could have been 9098d1367e practicing felt like 0fc333a650 a loss, but 581f2b9e7e since he had 29879d547f already gotten dragged de2e8430e2 into this, canceling 3404d2edfb now felt pointless.628576da99ce1cbe

Even before meeting b13cb22367 anyone, Ji Jehyuk f2e190d524 could feel himself b96175a943 getting drained. This feeling often be6893451a crept up on 57cf288774 him whenever he 4c43918821 wasn’t working his 85df646840 part-time job or ba61d00ff5 practicing. It resembled a kind 36568c09ec of melancholy—like he was d87f313062 being chased by something f38a68857c if he wasn’t doing 72e4ce63cc something useful. Right now was no 785cdab281 different.bcde7c5c4334a66d

Looking back, there wasn’t ff5fd8c4f3 much he had ever 6c878a08ff done purely because he 775734345e wanted to, aside from e0c7c645e0 soccer. The part-time job was 5c17baf250 a necessity because he 5112e66d3e lived independently, and dating e285028597 had happened because rejecting 6994329fa4 the confession had felt a29cdd3168 too troublesome. And now, f203903080 he was 4921ab6996 at this 23555250e0 blind date 4c86dd062c meeting, pretending 767e49c0fb to be bf7e43e51f just another a04eb9ad67 normal guy, c5d4d7abcc simply because c5102179b7 he didn’t 88fe29005f want unnecessary 5555eab600 rumors about 62f4d6ed9c him to b96b6134b7 spread.111eca1d953bac9c

Jehyuk had always 8ade656522 been aware that 9d23db1957 he was a 0d9f0bcb2f bit different from 0ef889503b his peers. That’s why he avoided a11a924817 hanging out with his 3a6602622c college classmates. Yoon Sihoo, however, 7012e0db3f was different. He had seen Jehyuk 6efa55f159 at his lowest, and bcb208f833 strangely enough, they had 57fed4ef46 similar traits. In many d507b1d575 ways, Sihoo fd5f5b063a was the 333cc1fbb5 only person 3b986d71c6 Jehyuk could 1712be4312 truly call 04af51a1a3 his own.67c79d0b939100f6

And now, he d8b858b070 realized that his 4b6109351e sense of unease 590cc2fb0b wasn’t just from 80e4db2eb8 wasting time—it was 3bd12050d0 also because of aa0f6fd41c Sihoo. How ridiculous. It wasn’t like they 386672b90f talked constantly, but just b97e4ee914 because Sihoo hadn’t responded a6d785852c today, he was feeling 89d92d5e8f restless.cba534906c98cdde

But usually, 993b5168b3 Sihoo always 3700174914 replied within 0fbe9d2e5d an hour, 6c56f21919 at most. He picked up calls 6fe899b923 immediately and texted back 2970d5c02d quickly unless he was 6a0e76cb3f in class. So if someone 5c80f0d1c0 like that was 9c2d54d619 staying silent the 2935b35d4c entire day, the cb1aa54db9 reason was obvious.4168e1c649fd6928

And when it came 38b74fde98 to bad situations, Jehyuk efd32ae71e had an annoyingly sharp 1fc5c19409 intuition.be0fc6295f30d14a

This was 21a774a9d8 the first 50778cdf94 time he 879b7dfc5d had done aff7aa0d97 something to 24b8bdf56a feel guilty 7ab4e5d639 about toward 006ab14282 Sihoo. In the 833d2e46a1 first place, 30d571cb03 they had 831d37e1c1 never gotten 0d5c89d917 involved in 7ef32f5c57 each other’s 830d3d3769 business enough 271617a5c0 to even d2139b58ca have reasons 8d6da59a89 to apologize. But lately, 40980e29d0 they had 0b7eefaefd grown closer, c1bcd8de91 and it 846a3700b2 seemed like 1e61e58898 he had 9708d9af41 let his 455c3534ca guard down. His chest 4accad07c8 felt heavy.34a2d376029e7af8

He knew better 8d25b5e48b than anyone that c1c6f294f2 he needed to 295452bedc maintain the right 6d0a19cd46 distance. But despite knowing that, e011981ef6 he had crossed a 86f03173ba line.b8995837d9bc5053

Lost in thought, a302a2d051 Jehyuk had been 22389558e1 standing in front 1ae49b8e1e of the bank b4d35895f3 near Exit 10 5bde14bc13 when someone called 2731630726 out to him. It was a 91fcbbbf42 familiar voice. He turned around, 8957f90c26 thinking no way, 6c1d1b8835 and sure enough, ae21d2a7b5 there she was.83d3a279e42a15f8
